Great vocals and just a great uplifting positivity about the whole track.
Not a track that was too widely played, but a bit of hidden gem.
Take me to paradise!
Yes please!

M.C.J. featuring Sima - (To Yourself) Be Free
(Dream remix)
Using many samples and cooking them all up nicely.
It's a catchy little vibe, maybe a tad too commercial, but endearing all the same.
Enjoy!
S - Bam - I Want My Freedom
(Remix)
This one didn't have as much floor time as it should have, as it's a corking old skool track.
A nice catchy rhythm, some nice female vocals and a real funky groove and some nice piano.
I hope you feel the same way!
Gary Wallace Presents Ecstacy - Gotta Have You
This was a track which was really big in clubs back in the day and was always one that was popular with a lot of top jocks.
Some good piano breaks and those well known vocals.
Always sounded good on the dancefloor and was a good track in warm up sets.
Said don't you want it!
There are quite a few different mixes of this, but this is the best.
Blackwood - I Feel You
(N.Y. Mix)
This one does feel a bit dated and only just sneaks in to make the grade.
It's just the piano that saves it, as I'm not much into the vocals.
I'm risking my credibility with these last 2 posts, so I'll make sure my next few are on the money.
Albertino Featuring David Syon -Your Love Is Crazy
(Bueno Mix)
It has lots of charm, lots of energy and as mentioned is a tad too commercial, but very likeable all the same and just sneaks enough with enough to give it PCC status.
Probably not my strongest post, but a catchy little (and unknown) track.
Enjoy (hopefully!)
Active - Side By Side
(Club Mix)
Not to much original about this one and it samples from everywhere, but it is very catchy and creates a great old skool vibe.
Lots of Italo-house piano and just a great little groove.
How do you see me now?
Tracy Blue - To Myself
(Club Version)
Just an old skool banger which kicks straight out of the blocks.
Piano-tastic throughout, energetic and lively, just not overly original.
However, it's exactly the sort of track you could drop at anytime of the night to get the floor rockin'.
Enjoy!
U-People - Freedom
(House Mix)
Maybe, but still very catchy and enjoyable.
Great piano breakdown and just a good feel good track.
Do you really want to live forever?
Enjoy!
Interactive - Forever Young
(Red Jerry 12" Mix)
Piano-tastic in every sense.
This one rocks from start to finish and has of course some delightful piano.
Northern Old Skool vibes in the place!
Right on!
Ultraworld - Northern Piano
(Hardcore Piano Mix)
Yes, it sounds a touch cheesy now, but didn't back int'day when it would rock the floor.
Not one of those which has aged well, but will always be a PCC in my mind as it certainly did the action back then.
Back to The End by public demand!
The End - You Drive Me Wild
(One And Only Mix)
This one is from 1990 and contains loads of great hands in the air piano.
Not dissimilar to a few other old skool tracks, but this one is a pretty unknown track and hopefully the PCC blog helps to share this with the wider dancefloor community!
A real old skool gem!
Dance Time - Sentimento Nuevo
I'm surprised I've not posted this before now as this was a big track and one played often.
Sounds a little dated now, but that piano choons vibe from 1991 was one of the greatest times in clubbing history and the vibe in clubs back then was second to none.
The good old days when hands in the air was obligatory.
Great times, great memories.
Emotion - We're On The Move
A little on the cheesy side, but nice all the same.
Some great piano and nice catchy female vocals, look out for the key change as well.
Not one which was played out to often but a catchy little number and credible enough to claim PCC status.
Nick Hussey behind this and many a great old skool track.
There ain't no need to worry!
Emotion - Release Yourself
Well about this track, it's just sensational, great vocals by Chazzie, remix and production by Roger Sanchez and just some delightful old skool piano throughout.
Throw in loads of samples, some great shout outs and you have a total PCC.
Still sounds amazing even though it's 35 years old.
Pure class!
Ooh I say!
Beatboxx feat Chazzie - Keep On Jumpin
(Subclub Mix)
Two corking old skool tracks from 1991 on a double A white label, both are killer tracks which would smash up any decent club dancefloor.
These two should have been much bigger as they are both really great tracks, filled with banging piano and perfect to create total dancefloor delirium.
I don't particular remember hearing them played out back int'day but know they would still go down a storm.
Any young DJs out there who are looking for a unique track send their crown wild, look no further.
Compulsion has some really spellbinding piano, but don't overlook Razor Happy which is also razor sharp!.
Get on it!
Zenana – Compulsion
Zenana - Razor Happy
This was so underrated and underplayed it's untrue.
This should have been massive.
A really unique and timeless track and has such a great variety to it and keeps you fully engrossed from start to finish.
It has ambient bits, hands in the air parts, fierce break beat bits, lush vocals, crunchy beats, slammin' rhythms, great piano, it's got the lot!
Get on it!
Just Add Water - Mystic Sister
(The Goddess Is Coming)
I'd totally forgot about this one, but it's no real surprise that it is such a corker when you consider that it combines the remix and music talents of Tin Tin Out and Tall Paul.
Most certainly Good Fello's.
This is a lively throbbing piano corker which jsut gets better the longer it goes on and then further explodes with an avalance of piano.
Just a top top track.
To take time that I can move! Passion!
Love it!
Good Fello's - Do What U Like
(Vocal Mix)
Catchy, vibey, funky, but just really great to listen and dance to.
Just a great old skool track with lots of feel good factor.
1991 really was the year of Old Skool piano tracks.
I've got 30 minutes to talk!
Living House - To Talk
(Club Mix)
