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)

Ooh I say!

Love this track it was from an old mix tape by DJ Franklin.

He made some of the absolute best mix tapes back in the early 90s.

I still listen to them loads now and they still sound amazing.

This was mixed into S.U.N - Vision, a huge favourite of mine and then mixed into another track I totally love, but have never manged to track down.

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)

Classy!

Quite surprised I've not posted this before and even more surprised that this is the first Juliet Roberts track posted on the PCC blog.

There was a time in the early 90's when she was one of the best house Diva's.

There were loads of mixes of this track which was hammered throughout 1993.

It brings back fond memories of Hard Times in Huddersfield/Mirfield as it was always a big track there.

It's hard to select a favourite mix of this as the ones below are all superb. 

Take your pick, they are all fabulous!

A true house classic!

(Roger S Gospel Revival Mix)

Baby I love everything that you do.....for me!

Another cracking track from Incognito with two very fine remixes.

Baby I love everything that you do.....for me!

This T-empo remix is excellent and a lot more housey than their customary epic remixes, it is nonetheless top notch and right up there with the high standard they set.

IMHO it outshines the S-Man remix which is also very good (as per usual).

Incognito were one of those music acts which were a bit dull for my tastes, but came alive when remixed effectively as Roger S has done on several of their tracks.

Which mix does it for you?

Incognito - I hear your name

(T-empo's Summer Vibes 12')

Incognito - I Hear Your Name 

(Roger's Ultimate Anthem 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)

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)

Midnight hour at the Hac!!

Evening All. I hope you've had a good week.
Not posted a Brand New Heavies track for a while.
This was another big Hac track, not quite on a par with Parky's remix of Back To Love, but a stomper all the same.
Great remix from the S Man.
I always loved the piano in this.
"Midnight hour, midnight hour, midnight at the Oasis!!"
Classic house music as we know and love it.
Enjoy!!

The Brand New Heavies - Midnight At The Oasis
(Rogers Brand New Anthem)

"I get down on my knees and pray today!!"

Ok you house purists out there, so the last track may not have been to your tastes, but this one certainly will be, it's a huge house anthem from 1995.

For me it brings back some great memories of hearing this at Back to Basics in Leeds.

The track contains some awesome piano, a wonderful vocal from Alysha Warren and is up there with Roger S' finest remixes.

All in all a top class piece of house music and 10 minutes long which is unusual for a classic house track, but every second is worth it.

I love the last bit - the "Heaven Knows" finale - quality!!

Enjoy people

Alysha Warren - I Pray

(Roger's Gospel Revival Mix)

Let's start "Moving On Up"!!!

M People were probably the most consistent dance group in the 90's and one who managed to bridge the divide between commercial chart success whilst matinining that all important underground club credibility.

But then again when you combine the genius of Hacienda legend Mike Pickering with the amazing vocals of Heather Small, well you're bound to get something great!

Some of their tracks were awesome when remixed and several have already been posted on the blog.

You'll all know this track, but probably haven't heard this fantastic Roger Sanchez remix too often. It is a fantastic "barnstorming" piano driven monster. Top Class.

I've also posted the original version which was also a great club track, although slightly more commercial.

Enjoy people, as I'm sure you will!!

Let's all get Drunk On Love!!!

Let's have another fantastic piece of house music, uplifting, filled with glorious piano and superb vocals, just how I like them.

A real top quality track with some great lyrics and a wonderful vocal performance.

"Daydream believer, taking over, no misdemeanour, stone cold sober"

A fine remix by Roger Sanchez and an excellent all round track.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it!!

Fancy some more Billie!!

Now there's a statement, that would have had a different meaning 15 years ago.

I'm sure the old skool posse (the wide awake crew) will get the vibe.

Anyway here we are with an anthem of monstrous proportions. It brings back some fantastic memories of Cream in Liverpool and I'm sure it's one of those tracks that'll bring back memories for nearly everyone.

For about a year in 1994/95 this was played in every club up and down the country by all respecting DJ's. It really was (and still is) a wonderful track.

There's also a shed load of different remixes. The Junior Vasquez (Sound Factory Vocal Mix) was the most widely played, but the Brothers in Rhythm remix is (as expected) fantastic and the Todd Terry remix (as expected as well) is pretty damn hot. The Roger Sanchez remix is quality and the Junior Vasquez Padapella remix is also pretty lush!

Hence, here you go, you have a choice of all 5.

Let me know which is your fave?

Enjoy.

The Police - Is this a classic?

The Police were one of my favourite bands from being a young boy. 

The track was a classic regardless of any remix. 

Is it a club classic though? I really like it. 

It's that bit that goes "Some may say, I'm wishing my days away". See what you think? 

The Police - Walking on the Moon 

(Roger Sanchez Eva Mix) 

Sugar, My Sugar Tree.

A fantastic little tune and not one that got played out too much. I'll defy anyone not to like this. 

Certainly a classic. 

Check that piano. 

Great remix from Mr Sanchez.
