Welcome into my Queendom!

I really dislike Hip Hop, but Hip-House that is a different matter.

I love hip-house, it combines them both and makes track just so funky and catchy.

This is a great example, great rapping by Queen Latifah.

Welcome into my Queendom!

Quality hip-house track, with lots of familiar samples.

This track has been posted before, but I think this mix is a little more hip-housey compared to the Richie Rich housier version!

Enjoy!

Queen Latifah - Come Into My House 

(Julian 'Jumpin' Perez Mix)

Not ne, ne no, but Yes, Yes, Yes!!!

A huge fave of mine, which dates back to 1988.
Absolutely massive track with a piano riff, I'm sure you'll all be familiar with (I believe that this came before Kraze - The Party and that Kraze ripped from this track, but I may be wrong, can anyone confirm??).
I can never decide which version I like best, the vocal or non-vocal as both are immense.
Hence, I've posted both, great vocals by Valentino. Love it.
This is what I'd call - top notch house music!!
I love the way it stops, starts, breaks and pauses, quality!!!
P.S. The track has nothing to do with Ben E King!! Lol.

Relight My Fire - Which is the best version??

In an earlier post on this blog I stated that I thought that the Dan Hartman version of this track was the best bar none. However, I was then informed that the version played at the Hacienda was the Julian Jumpin Perez version.

I've manged to get hold of a copy of the Julian Jumpin Perez remix

(thanks to http://vinylvault.blogspot.com/)

In my opinion I still think that the Dan Hartman version is the best of them all, but the Julian Jumping Perez remix is very good. There's also a Joe Smooth remix which is also excellent.

To me nothing beats the Dan Hartman version, the intro is fantastic and is pure disco brilliance, then it builds into the true dance classic which we all know it is.

What do you think??

P.S. All Take That/Lulu versions should be destroyed immediately, as they only helped to tarnish a fantastic record.
