Move your body and dance with me!

A great hardcore track from back in 1993.

Following a very united rave scene in the late 80s and then a period of old skool piano classics in 1990 and 1991 at places (Up North) like Shelleys, Angels, Zone, KAOS and Ark events, by the back end of 1992 and 1993 the scene split into 2 very different scenes;

1) The dressed up house clubs typified by the likes of Back to Basics, Cream, Hacienda, Renaissance etc 

or

2) The hardcore scene 

I very much chose the dressed up house scene and never really ventured into the Hardcore scene, although I did enjoy a night at Doncaster Warehouse in 1992 once.

This track is very much from the hardcore scene and is a track which although a bit cheesy is also great and thoroughly PCC worthy.

Not much original about it, but very enjoyable.

Rave on!

Ultra-Sonic - Obsession 

(12" Version)

Oh I miss you!

This is new and pretty good.

As soon as you see that name Dr Packer you know that it is synonimous with very fine house music.

A great gentle groove, some nice vocals and a some nice piano.

Another off the Fools Paradise label is also pretty much on point!

All good in the hood!

Suki Soul & Dr Packer - Missing You

I know that it's over!

Absolue corker of a mash up/remix.

I always loved Gabrielle, her vocals were immense and she was a real breathe of fresh air when she arrived on the scene in the late 80's.

Matt Darey was always at the pinnacle of the early days of progressive and trance and has created many sublime tracks and remixes, many of which adorn the PCC blog.

This is another cracker.

Look at my life, look at my heart!

Gabrielle - Rise 

(Mash Up Matt Darey Remix)

It's been so long!

Sometimes you just hear a track and you immediately think "oh yes, I like this".

This is one of those tracks.

It's quite hard to describe, but this track just has a great aura and feel to it.

One that just keeps you enticed throughout the track.

It never really peaks, but just keeps you nicely entertained from start to finish.

Lenny Fontana and Paris Francis - My Song 

(Midnight McBride & Bri Buckle Remix)

Feeling lucky to be here tonight!

Another cracking track from the ever so fantastic Ms Lopez.

Great remix, great vocals and a throbbing brute of a track.

So alive indeed!

This is from 2002 and is still rocking some 24 years later.

Lovely vocal delivery from Jennifer and some great piano chords create a superb track.

Enjoy!

Jennifer Lopez - Alive 

(Thunderpuss Club Mix)

Keeping the glowdown baby!

Love this a new track heard on Parky's superb radio show this week.

This has a great atmosphere and a superb vibrant feel.

Quite similar in style to the tracks which Robyn used to put out, hence not out and out dance, but just groovy melodic dance music.

Keeping the glowdown baby!

Enjoy!

Flamingo Pier - Glowdown 

3 in 1 feels so right!

Really surprised that I haven't posted this one before now.

Certainly an oversight and maybe it was because it was a tad overplayed.

Anyway well overdue a post, this was a huge track back in 1993 and was always superb on the dancefloor.

I've spoiling you here with 3 superb versions to choose from.

The original Victor Simonelli version which is excellent.

A superb remix from those Nush boys who always knew how to spice up a track and add layers of fantastic piano.

Then there's a newer version from 2022 from Odyssey Inc. which is also pretty corkin'.

If I had to choose one I think the Nush version just shades it for their lush piano.

Victor Simonelli Presents Solution - Feels So Right 

(Solutions Original Mix 1993)
 

Solution - Feels so Right 

(Nush Club Mix)

Solution - Feels so Right 

(Odyssey Inc. Remix)

Yeah, come on!

I'm a big fan of Odyssey Inc and just love the feel of their tracks.

The vocals are always spot on and there's loads of piano thrown in.

This is real quality house music which is perfect for the dancefloor.

Soulful, vibey and just very compelling.

The male and the female vocals are just so complementary.

A cracking track!

I love it when you shake it like that aha!

Odyssey Inc. & Wayne Soul Avengerz - Too Close 

(Extended Mix)

The salsa sound of summer!

Another great new track from Parky's radio show.

It is full of trumpets, guitar and funky synths which give a great summer latino/salsa vibe, but for me it's all about the tempo change at 2.50.

From that moment the track reaches another level and just oozes euphoria.

Another track which if used effectively could be devastating on the dancefloor.

A real little beauty this one, very nice indeed!

Rubim de Toledo - Out From Under 

(Paul Conway presents Mioga Remix)

Symphony of the Night!

A track that's been around a good few years now, but always sounds great.

Dennis Ferrer is always a symbol of top quality house tracks.

This is piano-tastic from the get-go.

It contains lots of great synth noises and some good vocal chants, backed with a first beat and then the pounding piano breaks and it makes a hell of a track.

Another one which would be superb on the dancefloor and I'm sure would get some great crowd reaction.

Bangin'!

Dennis Ferrer - Sinfonia Della Notte 

(Original Mix)

Dat, come on!

Been chasing this one for a few weeks now after hearing it on Parky's superb radio show.

Just love the simplicity yet the effectiveness of this track.

A sure-fire dnacefloor smash in any club, just drop this and watch the crowd lose it.

Top notch from start to finish with some great energetic piano that builds and rocks.

Simple, but oh so effective, just lovely!

No vocals with this one, but in this instance none required.

It's no swindle!

Dat, come on!

Dam Swindle - I Met Her Last Summer

Just to be alive is a natural high!

Staying on the classy house vibe, here's another underrated classic.

A big track championed by Tony Humphries it's class still shines through.

Another track with great lyrics, great vocals and great piano.

A key focus of the PCC blog was always to champion great dance music new or old and this is another quality piece.

Another track which would still go down a storm today.

A definite Natural High!

Tracie Daves - We Can Make It 

(Satin Mix)

We need another.....holiday!

Whenever you hear the name Michael Gray you just know it's going to be quality.

He's been around the scent for several decades producing fantastic house music under his various guises, as Greed, Hustlers Convention, Full Intention.

This is yet another piece of classy house music from Mr Gray.

It's been around a good 12 months or so, but feels very fresh.

Close your eyes, dreaming paradise!

Michael Gray featuring Sian-Lee - Another Holiday 

(Extended Mix)

If I go out every night!

Corking track from 1996 (although originally released in 1986), very much in the Graeme Park stylee - that being classy house music.

Love everything about this track, great lyrics, great vocals, great house groove and some superb piano.

Just a top notch house classic.

This would still go down a storm on any club dancefloor.

Timeless.

H2O - Nobody's Business 

(Main Vocal Mix) 

Have you ever been lost?

 This is new and a bit tasty.

A belter championed on Parky's excellent radio show.

Great vibrant uplifting house feel, some excellent vocals by Candice Chavez, some great piano and an overall excellent piece of production as usual from Mark Picchiotti.

This one will be a biggie in the most discerning clubs.

Enjoy!

Mark Picchiotti featuring Candice Chavez 

- My Soul Cries Out (Extended Mix) 

Viva la old skool!

This one has been in my "to post" folder for ages, but one I'd not got round to.

A quality bit of old skool with some great piano from 1993.

A proper hands in the air old piano classic and I must say underplayed and underrated little gem.

I don't ever remember it played out but it may well of been.

A proper little banger though, so do enjoy!

Interesting little fact about this one, it was recorded on a Sunday morning in 1993 after an all-nighter at Bowlers Trafford Park Manchester.

Had many a cracking night at Bowlers back int'day - proper old skool!

Viva la old skool!
