Take a trip to Mekka!

Cracking track from 2001 which was a regular feature in many of Oakey's sets around that time.

Also featuring the wonderful Dominique Atkins more famed for her vocalist work in the Oakey/Osbourne collab Grace.

This track has some pounding beats and those wonderful ethereal vocals snippets from Dominique.

Get on it!

Mekka - Diamondback 

(Original Mix)

I would soar like a dove in the sky!

Grace were Oakey and Osbourne's sensational band fronted by lead singer Dominique Atkins.

They produced some absolute gems and this is one of them.

The fierce production combined with Dominique's gorgeous vocals were just heaven in the mid 90's.

Shame that they didn't produce more material, but Oakey was usually too busy with his hectic DJ schedule.

Still good while it lasted!

Enjoy!

Grace - If I Could Fly 

(Oakenfold and Osborne Trance Mix)

Saying Grace

'Skin On Skin' was initially released at the beginning of 1996, and was originally loosely based on the Perfecto remix of U2's 'Lemon'. Oakenfold & Osbourne duly forged an instrumental track from the aforementioned 'Lemon', which they titled 'Orange'. When Dominique Atkins' vocals were applied to the latter it became 'Skin On Skin', the third single from the Grace project and one that proved a sizeable club and chart hit. Some eighteenth months later, a clutch of remixes were issued of various Grace tracks, the highlight of which was the Legend B remix of 'Skin On Skin'. Legend B completely remade the track, dropping the vocal almost entirely save for the insistent whisper of 'Skin On Skin', prior to building to a thunderous, synth-infused crescendo. Another underrated track, the Legend B remix of 'Skin On Skin' remains one of the defining trance records of 1997.

"It's Not Over Yet"!!! - Just a reminder to England - Keep The Faith!!!

 

This track is dedicated to the England team and more importantly all us hard suffering fans out there.
Yes, their performance against Algeria last night was abysmal, but as the track says "It's Not OverYet".
Let's try and keep the faith. We can beat Slovenia - I'm sure!! (Ever the optimist).
About the track well it's one of those that everybody absolutely loved. I'd stick my neck out and say it was probably the biggest track of 1993/94.
It was one of those played out in every club by virtually every DJ and it always brought the roof down.
Everytime you heard it, the clubs would go crazy, I have particularly great memories of this at Cream, Wobble, Leeds Corn Exchange nites, Back To Basics, Up Yer Ronson and probably loads more nights I've long forgotten about.
There were loads of different mixes done and here's a selection.
The Perfecto mix was the big one which was played most, but the BT and Dancing Divas mixes are also very good.
Grace were of course the face of the legendary Paul Oakenfold and they produced some great tracks.
On a final note about the football, just remember folks - Keep the faith, as the track says;
"It's not over, not over, not over, not over yet"
Come on England - you can do it!!
