Is that what you really want!

Farley and Heller were experts at creating an infectious groove and vibe like they did with their Junior Boys Own and Roach Motel tracks.

Just very simple repetition but so, so encapsulating and as mentioned infectious.

These tracks made the most sense in clubs as you would just catch the groove and bounce along to them vibing with others on the dancefloor.

Great memories - great track.

Happy Mondays - Stinkin' Thinkin'

(Junior Style Mix) 

Not here to praise you!

I don't need an excuse to post this as I totally love the original and still have it on 12" (somewhere).

I saw the Monday live a few times and they were always chaotically brilliant.

I think it was the G Mex in 1990 and Elland Road in 1991.

Great band, great times.

This is a great remix from 2020, which sticks pretty close to the original, but also gives it some extra fizz.

This track still sounds amazing and totally timeless, in essence it defined an era!

Happy Mondays - Hallelujah 

(Ewan Pearson Remix)

Ready...for some Freaky Dancing??

This has always been my favourite Happy Mondays track (along with Hallelujah) and it just epitomises everything about them.
Raw, edgy, unpolished, but highly infectious.
I've still got the 12" somewhere in my garage.
Debatable how dance this is, but it's awesome all the same and I could imagine it going down a treat last track of the night!!
Just get down with the Freaky Dancing!!
Enjoy!!

Happy Mondays - Freaky Dancin' 
(Live)

Welcome to Madchester!!

This track that spawned Indie Dance.
A superb remix from Oakey and Osborne with a little help from Terry Farley as well I believe.
This track from 1989 was of huge significance in the dance music/e culture/clubbing scene for many reasons.
1. It kick started the Indie Dance scene.
2. It kick started the Happy Mondays career
3. It kick started Paul Oakenfold's remix career
4. It created the Madchester vibe.
The Mondays took many trips to Spectrum in London, a night run by Paul Oakenfold and along with Shoom the most significant clubs in bringing the Ibizian vibe back to the UK and kick starting the Acid House scene.
Spectrum also had nights at Legends in Manchester on a Monday.
The vital ingredient in all this was "ecstasy" and this became the launch pad for the Madchester scene.
I hope this explains it all (kind of).
If not check the video it was created in Legends in Manchester, I think it explains what was going on!!
About the track, well it's just sensational.
Shaun's poetic sprawling vocals, that fantastic repetitive guitar riff and those big synth drops.
Massive in every way - Madchester vibes in the place indeed.
There's a Vince Clarke remix of this track as well which is good, but IMHO this is "the" mix.
Once you've heard this, there is no other.

"Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Madchester vibes in the area"

I was a huge Mondays fan back in the day and saw them live several times notably at the G-Mex and also at Elland Road.

This was always my favourite Mondays track and certainly one of their most club based.
A truly sensational remix courtesy of the legends that are Mr Paul Oakenfold and Mr Andrew Weatherall (and Steve Osbourne), this was really the making of Oakey as a remixer.
The track well what can I say, it's absolutely storming, the piano is immense, the Hallelujah vocals are so sharp and effective. Then you've got usual unique drawal.
As you could imagine, this was massive down at the Hac!!!
Probably the great "indie" Club crossover track of it's generation.
Love it!!
Madchester in the house!!!!
