This uses all the usual Freemasons charms and formula and creates yet another piece of superb dance friendly fodder.
Fast paced, layered with piano and using the fabulous Beyoncé vocals to great effect.
Baby seem like everywhere I go I see you!
Beyoncé - Déjà Vu
(Freemasons Extended Club Mix)
They were just so always on point, transforming bang average tracks into absolute bangers.
This is another fine example of their remix genius.
I do wish they were still producing and remixing tracks as their presence in the dance music industry is sincerely missed.
Mr James Wiltshire will always be one of my all time favourite remixers - Genius at work!
I saw you Friday, Saturday!
John Newman - Cheating
(Freemasons Remix)
I've run out of superlatives to describe the work of James Wiltshire and his greatest moments are woven throughout the PCC blog.
Here they use their amazing production skills to turn a very average track into a dancefloor banger.
Their ability to use one or two simple hooks throughout the track and overlay great piano was a key trademark and is a key feature here.
Heather Headley - In My Mind
(Freemasons Vocal Club Mix)
This was massive back in 2004 and 21 years on it's still sounds great.
B.E.D. is another James Wiltshire alias and I've run out of superlatives for his work most notably as Jimmy Gomez and one half of the Freemasons.
This track combines a lovely vocal from Chloe Myers with a widely sampled simple guitar hook which creates a lovely Balearic summer type feel.
B.E.D. feat. Chloe Myers - Before I Leave
(Freemasons Club Mix)
Anyone who knows the PCC blog will be well aware of my huge admiration for James Wiltshire's aka Jimmy Gomez remix work.
This is a corking track with clever use of the Kariya sample, a catchy vocal hook and a spanking bit of piano.
Intoxicated, accelerated!
Right on!
Herd & Fitz featuring Abigail Bailey - I Just Can't Get Enough
(Freemasons Remix)
A truly corking club track from 2009.
A tad commercial, yes quite probably, but glorious all the same.
Sophie's vocals are just exquisite (as always).
I need to feel I'm getting stronger!
Freemasons Feat. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Heartbreak
(Make Me A Dancer Club Mix)
This is another cracker combined with a fantastic remix by the Freemasons from 2008.
Some of the Freemasons tracks and remixes from that era were on another level, also epic, closing bordering that line between commercial and underground, but always just keeping it (importantly) on the underground side.
This is one such track.
Pure class!
Great vocals by Shayna Steele also.
Enjoy!
Moby - Disco Lies
(Freemasons Club Mix)
I've often waxed lyrical about the musical genius of James Wiltshire and here he creates another spellbinding track alongside his Freemason's buddy Russell Small.
This is a track of epic proportions with beautiful vocals by Levana Wolf.
It's the sort of track when one listen is never enough.
Enjoy!
Pegasus feat. Levana Wolf - Gorecki
(Freemasons Mix)
As their usual style it contains a really catchy loop which is repeated throughout tinged with some great vocals.
It's not quite as pumping as some of their remixes, but is very smooth and nicely done.
In my mind I'll always be his lady!
In my mind I'll always be his girl!
Heather Headley - In My Mind
(Freemasons Club Mix)
The Freemasons (aka James Wiltshire and Russell Small) produced some fantastic pop-tinged dance remix classics. Several are already on the blog and several more to come.
Sophie has fantastic and very unique vocals and of course is a major star and deservedly so.
The track is energetic, vibrant and very catchy.
"The fire in your touch I always find so hard to beat!"
Enjoy!
Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Bittersweet
(Freemasons Extended Club Mix)
They were without doubt 2 of the stand out remix talents of the 90s.
This collaboration as the Handbag Enthusiasts takes and old Aztec Camera track and gives it some dancefloor edge.
Not quite up there with their very best remixes, but pretty damn good regardless.
Enjoy!
Aztec Camera - Somewhere In My Heart
(The Handbag Enthusiasts Remix)
I think I've evangelised enough on the PCC blog about the talents of Mr James Wiltshire.
This track is superb with some lovely powerful vocals.
"There's something inside you!"
London Grammar - Nightcall
(Freemasons Pegasus Club Mix)
The Freemasons produced some brilliant tracks and remixes and this is right up there with the best of them.
Top notch.
Beyoncé - Ring the Alarm
(Freemasons Club Mix)
James Wiltshire produced some amazing remixes.
Those under his Jimmy Gomez moniker are some of my all time favoutrites.
Those under The Freemasons were also superb, but with a much more commercial mainstream feel.
This is one of those such tracks.
Great vocals to boot also and not forgetting some great Sax!
Enjoy!
Freemasons feat. Sylvia Mason James -
Nothing But A Heartache
(Original Extended Club Mix)
A real quality piece of house music just how I like 'em. Great vocals, great lyrics, some great piano and a truly great feel, proper house music!! This one dates back to 1991.
