Skin deep!

That whole New York Twilo period of the late 90's early 2000's where Junior Vasquez, Peter Rauhofer, Hex Hector, Thunderpuss ruled the roost with really long epic remixes of pop songs was very exciting.

Here Peter Rauhofer goes to work under his Club 69 alias creating another club banger from a pretty standard pop track as was his style.

Long epic journeys, with lots of peaks and builds were his thing, creating making an epic track.

This probably isn't one of his very best, but still pretty epic.

You always left me!

Madonna defined the 80's and 90's always creating a new edge and new style.

Her greatness will never be emulated.

Love this remix of one of her classic tracks.

Peter R was an true master at creating delicious progressive epics and this one doesn't disappoint.

You always left me!

Gotta get up!

 Love P!nk no doubt she is one of the all time pop icons, the quality of her tracks and her longevity are testament to this.

There aren't too many which crossover to the dancefloor, but this one certainly does with a great Peter R remix.

Certainly worth a "Try"

Feels like I'm 17!

I wish!

Two fantastic remixes of a great track by Eurythmics.

Annie's vocals have always been exceptional and pretty unique.

You've then got 2 of the hottest pumping remixers on the job, hence two electric tracks.

I'm not sure which remix I prefer as they are both monstrous.

I think the Peter Rauhofer mix just edges it, but it's close.

You even get a touch of Sweet Dreams chucked in for good measure.

Nice!

The art of the remix!

This is the great thing about dance music, how great remixes can create hugely different but equally great versions of the same track.

Here's a well know cover of the old Everything But The Girl track with some great vocals by Karen Ramirez, which is then given 3 very different work outs with each one displaying a very different feel.

The Sebastian Club Mix is a nice laid back house vibe, the Peter Rauhofer mix is given a Sound Factory work out and the Trouser Enthusiasts mix is given well a typical TE overhaul.

3 great remixes of a great track all with a different feel and all very good.

If I had to pick one it'd be the TE mix in a close contest.

The power of the remix!

Enjoy!

The greatest love of all - Great dance music aka PCCs!!

Great dance music comes in all shapes and sizes and this blog has always posted a huge variety of the finest dance tracks to appear on dance floors across the world.
This has taken in house, balearic, trance, progressive, handbag house, disco and many other forms.
Always coupled in this has been an element of the cheesier side of dance music, which I've always unashamedly posted. Most notably those tracks which although slightly overground and cheesy for the purist amongst you, but are  none the less bonafide PCCs, that truly rocked clubland.
Here's just one such track.
A big thanks to Simon for sharing this. It is a huge sing-along-anthem and I'm informed went down a storm in Manchester's finest clubs.
The remix is by Peter Rauhofer (aka Club 69) who remixed many great tracks and sadly passed away this week. R.I.P.
Whitney's vocals sound amazing on this - she's also sadly missed.
Let's celebrate their respective talents!
Enjoy!!
