Feel the infatuation?

Used to love this back in 1992, just a really good house groove.

Bottom Dollar produced some great stuff and loads of remixes to boot.

This is just a quality track and always sounded great on the floor.

Enjoy!

Cracking track from 1996 made by Lil' Louis of "French Kiss" fame.

"Give me all your loving don't you stop!!!"

Here's another biggie for you peeps. Anyone fancy a bit of "Mary Jane"!!
Matthew Roberts and Bottom Dollar produced some fantastic remixes, right up my street.
This is just one of those (don't worry plenty more to come from them).
Great vocals by Mary J Blige as you'd expect, lots of great piano, some great lyrics, luverly.
I just love the intro the way it just builds before breaking into that great vlocal
"Give me all your loving don't you stop"
"My love waiting when you reach the top, (All night long)"
"Come into my bedroom honey, what I've got we'lll make spend money(All night long) "

Anyone want a drink?

Here's a track I've always loved;
"I said I want a drink, I said I want a drink, I said I want a drink, or I'm gonna break your radio"
(Drunk) I like to dance when I'm
(Drunk) yes, I romance when I'm
(Drunk) I like to dance when I'm
(Drunk, don't play the punk)"
Superb lyrics hey? Which are then repeated in Spanish.
A great remix by Bottom Dollar (Matthew Roberts et al) there stuff is always superb and there's plenty on the blog already.
This track was massive in clubs 1994 and was a big fave of DJ's like Jon of Pleased Wimmin.
All in all a great track.
Who's buying the drinks??

My heart is on fire!!!

Yes indeedy, loving this one. Quality, quality, house music!! 

"My heart is on fire, My soul's like wheel that's turning" "My love is alive, My love is alive, yeah, yeah, yeah" 

Great track, great vocals, great lyrics, great piano, (another) great Bottom Dollar remix. Need I go on?? Just wait for the piano at 6 mins 50 secs - absolutely lush!!! 

Get on it people - you know you want to!!! 

Maria Christensen - My Love Is Alive 

(Bottom Dollar Club Mix)

Fancy some more classic house - there's Nothing Better!!!

Another huge house classic fave of mine.

This one comes with a spankingly good remix my Matthew Roberts (he of Bottom Dollar fame).

The track is just so catchy with some fantastic vocals, some really top notch piano, a real all round top notch house track.

This one brings back fond memories on the Hacienda and also Hard Times - hence here's another flyer which I've dug out and scanned.

House music - there's Nothing Better!!!

Colourblind - Nothing Better

(Matthew Roberts Club Mix)

Here's one for the Handbag House followers!!

It was always a bizarre tag "Handbag", but as a music genre, I really loved a lot of the tracks which were classified in this category. 

There were always really energetic, full of life, and generally very uplifting, pretty much the type of music which was widely played in clubs like Vague and Paradise Factory and other gay clubs. 

They were probably too "camp" or "kitsch" for the purists, but lets be fair there were some absolutely corking tunes which came under that category.

This is one such track. A bit trashy, but catchy as hell and very uplifting, with some great breakdowns - "Let, Let, Let, Let, Let, Let, Let me hear you Stomp!!".

Music pigeon-holing has IMHO always been a load of nonsense and categories were names of convenience drawn up my music magazine editors. 

Let's face it good music is just good music.

Handbag or no handbag this is a corking track!!!

LWS - Gosp

(Bottom $ Stomp Mix)

Let's have some more Bottom Dollar!!

Another mighty fine track, this time with Bottom Dollar on the mix.

This track was widely hammered by most of the nations rocking DJs.

It starts slowly but leads into a big piano breakdown.

"You, You You, You You You You, You are"

"We going on down, down to this funky town"

Deadly Sins - We Going On Down

(Bottom Dollar Mix)

This is Top Dollar - never mind Bottom Dollar!!

A really great club track, great lyrics, vocals, rhythm, piano. This one has the lot.

I really like most of Bottom Dollar's stuff whether it's production or remixing, they have made some corkers over the years and more will feature on this blog in the future.

"You can't turn around and throw away the love I've found"

Quality. Quality!!

Bottom Dollar - You Can't Turn Around 

(Original Mix)

Another top tune!!

Love this one, a really quality, house track with great vocal and great piano thrown in for good measure. This was a real classic and used to rock in clubland. 

It is a re-make of an old soul classic by Barabra Mason (for those trainspotters who care!!) 

Respect again to Harvs for tracking this one down. Nice one Geezer!! 

Shy One - Another Man
