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.
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)
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!!
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.
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!
