Very tangy and tasty!


 Great track from 1992 which was one of the early progressive house track.

This one was on a slower vibe and more Balearic in nature.

Lemon Interupt were of course a pre-cursor which then became Underworld.

To be honest. I prefer the Lemon Interupt stuff more than what they later did as Underworld.

Enjoy!

It's better to say, I've known love!

One of the stand out tracks of 2023 for me.

You only have to look at the artists involved and you know it's going to be a bonafide PCC.

3D are Danny Howells, Darren Emerson, Dave Seaman, 3 DJ icons/producers.

Robert Owens, is there a better male house vocalist? He's certainly up there.

David Seaman is one of the true legends of dance music from his BiR work, his consistently fantastic DJ-ing from the late 80s and still going strong.

Darren Emerson through all his contribution with Underworld and his DJ prowess and Danny Howells, whilst he's the least experienced of the 3D's he's still been knocking out great dance tracks for 20 years.

A great collab and a great track.

Come on, tune in, to the life!


 Always loved this track from 1992.

It's a real builder, so be patient with it.

It was a big Sasha track back int'day.

Not much of Shakespear's Sister in it, just a few nicely sampled warblings, but that doesn't detract from it.

Come on, tune in, to the life! 

Black Sky, Blue World, Green  eyes!"

It's one of those tracks that has a warm fluffy appeal to it.

Enjoy!

Shakespear's Sister ‎- Black Sky 

(Underworld Dub Extravaganza Part Two)

I've also included this remix which I also love, but was less popular in the clubs.

Love the piano in this.

Quality.

Shakespear's Sister ‎- Black Sky

(The Black Widow Mix)

Also added is the original version which is a quality piece of Indie Dance.

It has a similar feel to Fools Gold in parts.

10 Years Ago Today


I was at the Leeds Love Parade
It was a strange day, I couldn't really get into it, the weather didn't help. It was obviously a bit of history (250k people) but we couldn't even make it down to where the floats were as you would never have seen your mates again. After about 4 hours I realised the bloke dancing in front of us was someone we hadn't seen for 4 years which was a bit of a coincidence.
After the event at Roundhay Park finished we headed to Majestyk, where Timo Maas, David Morales and Pete Tong were playing. Again it wasn't great, the crowd contained quite a few people who were there just because it was on Radio 1, but it was the music that was the problem really. Listening to the Essential Mix again now, the music was very tribal, dark and basically dull. What a missed opportunity as some some proper old skool tunes would have taken the roof off.
Anyway, was glad I went, as the event was never repeated, and apart from Fatboy Slim on the beach in Brighton was the biggest ever UK dance music crowd, in fact it must have been one of the biggest ever UK crowds for anything!!!
