Follow your star!

Really surprised I've not posted this one before now.

A real house classic and a big Hac track played by Parky from 1995.

Great vocals by Kathy as always and some great remix work from the S Man.

Just oozes quality from every pore!

Kathy Sledge - Another Star 

(Roger's Ultimate Anthem Mix)

You go your way and I'll go mine!

One of the all time great intro's right up there with "Martha Wash's - Carry On".

What follows is good, but so, so overplayed and a tad too commercial.

All though that said this was a major Hac anthem.

It was probably that it was some months later played in every trashy club and bar all over the country.

However, it still sounds great and Sybil's vocals are just magnificent and the piano is just golden!

30 odd years on it still holds it's own.

I will never, no, no, never, love again!

West End Ft. Sybil - The Love I Lost 

(Unrequited Mix)

If you see him, tell him....

A piece of class from the legend that is Mr Park.

A superb remix of a classic track.

This was a real Hacienda banger back in 1992.

Great vocals by Eleanore with those classic lyrics, but it's Parky's remix which wins the day splattered with lots of piano and funky sax.

Classy!

Eleanore Mills - Mr. Right 

(The Superb Parkside Mix)

Welcome to our little gathering!

Stone cold Acid House classic from way back when it all started in 1988.

Still sounds amazing with that awesome jacking groove and that annoyingly good piano, combined with the effective left/right speaker switchbacks.

A house masterpiece that has totally stood the test of time.

House music doesn't have to be complex to be immensely impactful.

Enjoy!

Neal Howard - The Gathering 

(Club)

Do you wanna go high?

Every time I hear this track it takes me right back to the Hacienda in 1994 (30 years ago - Wow!).

A corking house track, mixed by the legend GP and often played in his sets back in the day.

It is a true house classic and has everything you could wish for in a great house track.

Superb vocals, a great rhythm, killer beats and some classy piano.

Do you wanna go high!

Loni Clark - Love's Got Me (On A Trip So High) 

(Parkside Club Mix)

Acieed house in the house!

A massive Hacienda classic from 1989.

This still sounds awesome 35 years on.

It's just so raw, funky, energetic and just damn exciting.

Those electro stabs are immense.

A proper acid house classic.

Cut The Q - Who Needs A Love Like That 

(Groove Remix)

I can't keep from falling in love!

 Right up there with Madonna's finest club tracks courtesy of a fantastic remix by Mr Morales.

This was also a big Hacienda track and I have very fond memories of grooving away on the dancefloor when this was dropped by Mr Park, way back in 1992.

I can't keep from falling in love!

Pure class!

Madonna - Deeper And Deeper 

(David's Classic 12'' Mix)

Can you feel the sunshine?

Surprised I've not posted this before, a quality upbeat house classic from 1992.

It was a mainstay of many of Parky's and Danny Rampling's sets back in 1992.

Very fond memories of bopping away in the Hac to this one.

It's just one of those tracks that instantly brings a smile to your face.

The piano is just so infectious.

All we need is some sunshine, which is sadly lacking in the UK at the moment (no surprise there!).

Unit 2 - Sunshine 

(Shine On Mix)

Always a slave to the vibe?

 Another Hacienda classic, hammered by Parky.

I know this one crossed over and went commercial, but this version has always a true PCC.

Great vocals, a great rhythm with those crunchy 4/4 beats and some real catchy hooks.

A classic house track.

Still sounds great all these years on - hard to believe it's nearly 30 years ago - it feels like yesterday.

Aftershock - Slave To The Vibe

(12" Club Mix)

Raise your hands!

Now there are some tracks which are just great tracks which sound great wherever you hear them.

Then there are some that only really work in clubs or some that are just so much better in clubs.

This one is of the latter type.

I remember this at the Hacienda in 1993 when Parky dropped it and it was one of the most exciting moments ever.

They played around with the speakers and acoustics circulated the sound around the club and for a few minutes when the sirens came on (at 4.10mins in) I actually thoughts the club was being raided by the police.

It was spooky and mega exciting at the same time, the whole dancefloor then just erupted.

Oh to be back there experiencing that again!

Great track courtesy of the 3 maestro's Rocky, Diesel and Ashley Beedle.

They were on fire with their tracks and DJing in 92 and 93.

Raise your hands - indeed!

Enjoy!

X-Press 2 ‎- London X-Press 

(The Journey Continues) 

It's a beautiful dream!

As much as a like Noel as a rock star I never thought I'd be putting him on the PCC blog, but throw a couple of Hacienda legends on the remix duties and you have a corking dance track.

Noel's vocals are good and there is some great piano that really lifts the track.

This came out in 2018 although not sure of it's impact on the nations dancefloors.

There is also an Andy Weatherall remix, but that is pretty non-descript and nowhere as near as good as this.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds - It's A Beautiful World 

(Mike Pickering Graeme Park Hacienda Mix)

Show me how you're feeling!

A big fave of mine which I used to love hearing out.

The S-Man was on fire around this time (1994) and created some superb remixes.

All were laced with piano and great vocals, just like this one.

Pure classic house music, that still sound brilliant today.

Another big Hac anthem as well.

"Show me how you're feeling, show me how it feels"

Think Twice - Waiting For You 

(Roger's Anthem Mix)

Food's gotta be bought, bills gotta be paid!

A big Parky Hac anthem from 1991.

Just pure quality house music with great piano, great vocals and that catchy little horn.

Still sounds great, viva la house!

Simone - My Family Depends On Me 

(Club Vocal Mix)

Always show your True Spirit!

2nd outing for Carleen Anderson on the PCC blog.

Similar to the previous post of her track "Mama Said" this one comes courtesy of another fine piano tinged remix from K-Klass.

It displays Carleen's great throaty vocals very effectively.

This was a great track in clubs and a regular at the Hac.

Quality house music.

Carleen Anderson True Spirit 

(K-Klassic Mix) 

I'm holding, still holding on!

Staying on the Incognito and S-Man theme, here's another house classic and another Hac fave.

As with all Incognito tracks, great vocals and great lyrics.

House music with soul and substance.

Another classic track from 1994.

Enjoy!

Incognito - Pieces Of A Dream 

(Roger Sanchez Seven Minutes Of Soul Remix)

Babe I know you've got that something!

Superb high quality house music.

Incognito produced some great tracks always with great vocals.

Couple this with the top class remixing of the S-Man and you have a sure-fire PCC.

The lyrics are also class.

I've taken time to say goodbye to my sadness, now I know I'm free!

This is a great track and was a biggie Hac tune.

Enjoy!

Incognito - Giving It Up 

(Uplifting Club Mix)

You better keep the joy we found!

 Another great house classic from 1992.

Just as good as the fantastic "Do It For Love".

It was another big Hac, Parky track.

Another great remix from Stonebridge also.

Quality house music indeed!

Ann Consuelo - See The Day 

(Stonebridge Hyped Up Club Mix)

Make my love, come my life!

 Cracking tune from Shawn Christopher and another great Stonebridge remix from 1993.

A big Hacienda track regularly dropped by Mr Park.

Still sounds great today.

Lovely!

Enjoy!

Shawn Christopher Make My Love 

(Stone's Main Mix)

Pay attention Little Sister!

Huge house classic from 1994 and another big Hacienda favourite.

It's got some great piano and lush vocals and yet another fine remix by K-Klass.

Still sounds great all these years on.

Great track!

Remember, "Better listen to your Mama!"

Enjoy!

Carleen Anderson - Mama Said 

(K-Klassic Mix)

Make me feel good!

Quality house track from 1991 and an old Hacienda favourite.

Great vocals, great piano, great house vibe.

"Make me feel good". 

Yes indeed!

Anambi - Our Love Climbs Higher 

(Extended Mix)
