Dear Fellow Dance Music Lovers,
This blog brings you the best in Dance Music and Club Classics; from early 87 (back in the daze) through to the present day.
For all those who rocked it all night until the early hours, to those that lived for clubbing and couldn't wait for the weekend to arrive. Enjoy and leave any comments on the blog or contact direct by email at pureclubclassics@live.co.uk
Jeanie Tracy was always a cracking vocalist and Tin Tin Out always made superb and consistently good remixes, so it comes as no surprise that this track from 1995 is a bit of a banger.
The vocals are soaring, the piano kicks in and you're off.
Great builds and energetic sequences create a pretty spanking tune.
For those of you like me who used to adore Where Love Lies, but then started to dislike it as it became so overplayed that it became tedious and that was before the Jon Lewis advert.
Well fear not, if you felt that way grab a piece of this.
It is exquisite and gives Where Loves Life new life, a completely different feel and yet keeps all the superb bits, speeds them up a little at times from a beautiful slow build up but just creates a feel that I haven't felt for this track since it's hey day when it was first released back in 1990.
Quite simply one of the finest reworkings in house history - yes that epic.
Pure class from 1996, still sounding amazing 30 years on.

Nick Bracegirdle's Disco Citizen's work was another level and so much better than his more commercial front as Chicane.
This is another great track and although not quite as good as some of his best Disco Citizens tracks previously posted it is still pretty tasty all the same.
Fast paced, energetic and enough to send you into orbit.
Oakey has always been at the cutting edge of new dance music and I sometimes feel he is less acknowledged than people like Sasha (who has a God-like status) which I feel is much more appropriate to Oakey.
Oakey was there at the very beginning and was largely responsible for the Acid House boom which created club culture as we knew to love it.
Respect - he will always be recognised as a one of the true GOATs in my mind!
