It's a long, long road!

It's been a while since I posted a Steve Anderson remix, probably as most of them have previously been posted.

This is another corker, probably not OMD's strongest track, but Steve works his magic.

It a catchy track with delightful piano courtesy of Mr Anderson.

Get on it!

OMD - Pandora's Box (It's A Long, Long Way) 

(Steve Anderson 12'')

There's something inside you!

Totally love this very good remix.

There are so many versions of this track and I'd previously posted the epic London Grammar/Freemasons version.

This one is just lovely, it keeps all the brilliant vibe and vocals of the original, but adds some lush piano drops.

Very nice indeed!

There's something inside you, it's hard to explain!

Kavinsky - Nightcall 

(Eewas Cesium Remix)

Vibe on!

Love this, with it's continuous piano loops it really creates a great dance floor vibe.

A few samples and vocals would really complement it and add something extra to it, but I can imagine it would be great on the dancefloor in clubs and work really well to mix in and out of.

Grant Nelson behind this one.

Enjoy!

Nu Rhythmix - Babylon 

(The Vibe Mix)

I love, I hate, I feel!


 The Grid were responsible for some epic dance tracks largely due to the genius of the late Dave Ball R.I.P.

This is another great track which was big in 1994 and is a good example of their vibe at that time.

I always feel that this track doesn't quite explode like some of their others.

It just feels like it is missing that major peak.

Nonetheless it's still a pretty fine track and just worthy of PCC status as it always went down well in clubs.

Neil Arthur – I Love I Hate 

(The Excalibur Mix)

I would like to find the answers!

I could have sworn I'd posted this before.

Much more indie dance than club dance, but what an amazing track.

There was a time when I first came across this that I was playing this several times a day, because I was just so blown away my how amazing it was (and still is).

One of the best and most unheralded tracks in the last 10 years, no question.

It has a touch of Joy Division about it.

Stunning!

You buried me

Right where I belonged

You buried me

Right where I belonged

And still, I'm waiting there

On division st

I would like to find the answers I was always rudely denied

A song so sweet

From back when I was born

The loving creak

Of floorboards by the door

Hopeful I waited, hopeful I called

But no one would answer at all

On division st

I would like to find the answers I was always rudely denied

Nation Of Language - On Division St

Going to take you higher!

Gorgeous track and a superb remix by Mr Morales.

The remix is much more like a Frankie Knuckles remix, super silky and super smooth and hence his influence via Def Mix was certainly being closely studied by Morales.

Great vocals and such a superb classic house feel.

This track should have been way bigger that it was, 35 years on it still sounds absolutely epic.

Classic house music indeed!

Going to take you higher!

Slam Slam Featuring Dee C. Lee - Move (Dance All Night) 

(Slammin' 12") 

True pioneers!

Corking track from 1988 (yes 1988!!!) from the revered dance music pioneers that were Severed Heads.

As soon as you hear that piano riff it will be instantly familiar as effectively used in the Liberation 2 track and many others.

Class is permanent.

Feel the power!

Severed Heads - Greater Reward 

(Piano Power Edit)

Yes you and you!


Slammin' piece of hard trance of a very well known pop track.

This has a real vibe and edge to it.

Pounding and driving, but with some beautiful subtle piano drops.

It all comes together very nicely and has a superb aura about it.

A very effective re-working, done well.

Get on it!

Beautiful Imbalance - First Picture Of You 

(Lost In Music Mix)

Here, here, here we go!

Surprised this hasn't been posted before now.

A nice little old skool track with plenty of catchy little sample and some nice piano.

I always feel that this one had a bit more to offer and didn't quite explode enough.

Still a catchy little track though.

Q Words - That's The Choice 

(Club Version)

Don't be offended!

Apologies for the lack of posts recently but things have been a bit hectic with work, holidays etc.

Here we are back with a beauty.

The PSB are no strangers to the PCC Blog and have always had a great dance music appeal.

This is a corking remix by Jam & Spoon which adds a super feel to Neil's great vocals.

A really pleasant and quite unusual mix.

Enjoy!

Pet Shop Boys - Young Offender 

(Jam & Spoon Trip-O-Matic Fairy Tale Mix)

Sunday, 8 February 2026

I'm going be ok, I'm going be alright!

Whitney was one of those amazing vocalists that just made everything she was involved in sound epic.

This is a great Thunderpuss remix which showcases her amazing vocals to great effect.

The great lady is sadly missed, but her music will live forever.

I'm going be ok, I'm going be alright!

Whitney Houston - It's Not Right but It's Okay 

(Thunderpuss Club Mix)

I know what you're thinking!

J Lo's music is ideal for remixing and Moto Blanco are always on the button.

Their remixes are always showered with piano and sometimes borderline in view of PCC or too commercial.

However, this one falls clearly on the PCC category.

Great speeded up vocals really create some great energy for the track and J Lo is just uber talented and maybe the greatest pop star/actress of all time?

I know what you're thinking!

Jennifer Lopez - Do It Well 

(Moto Blanco Mix) 

Heavenly!

I don't think it would be an overstatement to say Inner City were one of the best house acts of all time.

The combination of the genius of Kevin Sanderson and the amazing vocals of Paris Grey (a.k.a. Shanna Jackson) have stood the test of time from the very early days of house.

This is another of their classic tracks with an exquisite Def Mix courtesy of another house legends Mr Frankie Knuckles (R.I.P) and Mr David Morales.

Glorious house music and Paris' vocals are off the chart on this.

It is of course a remake of Stephanie Mills original, but even though this is now nearly 27 years old, it still sounds amazing.

Pure joy!

Inner City - What You Gonna Do With My Lovin'

(Def Mix)

Saturday, 7 February 2026

You already to get funky!

Back to the old skool with this one from 1995

You could always rely on PCP to do just as their names suggest.

James Sammon was a master at using lots of common samples and adding great piano to make the track bang.

Make the best pound indeed!

Piano City Productions Vol 3 - Set Me Free

One more chance to keep you satisfied!

Classic PSB track given a great tweak by the Slick Sgt.

His remixes are often just subtle tweaks here and there, but always just add a little oomph to already great tracks.

The Shoppies have proven their legendary status by their longevity and consistency across several decades.

I like the little raps in this version, which add a little something extra.

Of course we also need to pay homage to Mr Presley for the original version dating back to 1972.

Classy!

Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind 

(Sgt Slick's Melbourne ReCut)

Don't try and hold me back!

Another great new track (also from Parky's radio show).

This has great vocals and is very much in the Keinemusik vibe.

Another that oozes class, fizzles and bubbles and has that delightful Keinemusik aura.

Not quite as stunning as "Your voice" posted previously, but still pretty epic.

Enjoy!

AWEN - The Giant (Kanté)

Not Africa!


Great new track first heard on Parky's superb radio show this week.

Excellent use of the Toto - Africa sample.

This track just has such a great aura about it.

You feel soothed, engrossed and encapsulated all at the same time.

It just oozes and bubbles and reaches a lovely peak.

Very tasty!

Cass - NotKansas

(Cass 4by4 Remix)

Just another ordinary day!

Another corking track.

This time from 2010.

I know he's not always everybody's cup of tea, but I've always loved BG.

He has an amazing voice and this really shines through here.

There are lots of remixes of this track, but this is the pick of them IMHO.

Boy George - Amazing Grace 

(The Sharp Boy's Extended Club Mix)

I've just spent all my money!

Now where as the last track was dark and moody and very underground, this is the absolute opposite.

However, that's the ethos of the PCC blog, it just has to be good and worthy of rockin' dancefloors.

The vocals and lyrics in this are super catchy and of course Moto Blanco are experts at layering up the piano to give it that real dancefloor oomph.

I'm less sure about the will.i.am content, but it's still a cracking little track.

Natalia Kills ft. will.i.am - Free 

(Moto Blanco Club Mix Remix)

Live the dream!


Superb track from 1990.

Dark, moody, but superb vocal delivery by Carlton.

I'm not such a big fan of the break beat backdrop, but the vocals make this stand out.

Enjoy!

Carlton - Do You Dream 

(Flavor Remix)

Float like a ........


 Corking piece of progressive house from 1997.

When you see Heliotropic you know it's going to be on the money as all their tracks and remixes were superb.

This is no exception and is very much an hidden little gem which didn't get the dancefloor exposure that it deserves.

Still sounds great almost 30 years on.

Enjoy!

Hydra - Butterflies 

(Heliotropic Mix)

Saturday, 3 January 2026

It's had a remix!

A proper old skool banger from back in '91.

Possibly a little too on the hardcore side of dance for me, but that piano is still to die for.

Just love the "It's had a remix!" sample in Manc accent. It sounds a bit like Gary Neville (ha ha).

Hip Hop and diddilly bow bow!

Sy-Kick - Nasty 

(Remix)

Going up!


Came across this recently.

Don't know too much about the artist, but the track certainly bangs.

Some great thumping piano and some very likely build and drops.

Definitely worthy of PCC status

This track will do some serious damage on the dancefloor.

George Ellis - Ascension 

(Extended Mix)

Got to have your love!

Surprised I've not posted this until now.

This was always a big track from the early days back in 1988.

Produced by Clivillés & Cole, it was one that bumped and grooved, with some great vocals, lots of heavy breathing and lots of good samples.

I need your love, I want your love, got to have your love!

The groove is still infectious all these years on.

Sandée – Notice Me

(Notice the House Mix)

Credibility shot?

Now and again something cheesy manages to squeeze on to the blog.

This is such a track which just about scrapes credibility courtesy of a great Love To Infinity  remix.

The vocals are pure Edam, but the rest of the track is pretty decent and the piano is lush.

Very borderline for the PCC blog, but a little cheese is good for a healthy dance music diet.

Forgive me!

Ace Of Base - Travel To Romantis 

(Love To Infinity Mix)

Follow me!

If anyone ever thinks of Last Rhythm then it is usually because of their eponomously entitled club classic from 1990, which was on of the greatest dance tracks ever made.

However, they make some good other tracks and this is one of them.

It has a great feel about it and some great piano and that Last Rhythm feel.

This ones from 1995 and still feels good 30 years on.

Follow me!

Last Rhythm - Labyrinth 

(Time Of Meditation Mix)

Groovin' with Lonnie!

This is another great track from early last year which I keep coming back to.

As per the last track it is slightly on that Acid Jazz style, but this time a touch more housey.

I can imagine this being a great Café Del Mar track, just superbly chilled, a little Flamenco in style, but very joyous.

Something to warm the soul while the weather is bitterly cold outside.

One to soothe your soul!

Reelsoul feat. Tasha LaRae 

- All That I Can Say (Lonnie's Groove) 

(DJ Spen Remix)

Feel the joy!

This was a great track which is a few months old now, but still brings a smile to my face every time I hear it.

It has a feel of acid jazz about it and is very different, but very catchy and endearing.

It's like a cross of the Brand New Heavies with Corinne Bailey Rae.

Rona Ray is a real talent and I feel will get bigger.

Turbojazz feat. Rona Ray - The Joy 

(Original Mix)

Happy New Year for 2026!

Well Happy New Year to one and all, wishing everyone a fantastic 2026.
There will be lots more posts to come and of course that means lots of exciting new tracks and of course lots of fantastic oldies.

I have a bank of several thousand tracks still to post which I continuously top up when I hear tracks worthy of PCC status.

2025 was a pretty good year for posts on the PCC Blog with a total of 343 tracks shared which is almost one per day and was my most productive posting year since the first year of the blog back in 2009.

Why do I continue to post?

Quite simply I love sharing great dance music and although the followers have dropped over the years, I come to think of the blog as a sort of database and reference point of the greatest dance tracks ever produced.

If it's a great track it'll be on the blog, if it isn't then it's brand new, or one of the few old gems that has remained hidden for the last 20 years.

I've considered creating lots of other social channels, but nothing quite matches a blog for building and growing this huge public dance music database of the best tracks to ever grace clubland.

Here's to a fabulous 2026 to everyone and many more great tracks to come.

Kicking off with a fine piece of Keinemusik inspired Afro House, with a great atmosphere, some lovely chilled beats and delightful stabs of piano.

Does anyone else hear "and we never had roast beef", when they hear this?

Ha ha!

Enjoy!

Cash Only Feat. VSTRV – No Way
