Another stunning piece of PCC delight!!!

Now you may not remember this one my title, but I'm sure you will when you hear it.

It's simply an immense piece of music. It has very much a movie soundtrack feel to it.

I've heard this in clubs many times before back in 1992 era and it always went down an absolute storm. I'm sure I've also heard it dropped by Sasha (but I may be wrong?).

I know that it was also a big Chris and James track.

Very atmospheric with some great melodic down beat trance vibes, slightly reminescent to some Orbital tracks, like Belfast.

I love the bit 3mins 30 secs when the cymbals bang in and it cross fades!! Stunning!

Just check out the piano at the end as well. Oh my, this is good!!

"Let there be House" indeed!!!

Future Vision - 30 Feet Below Your Head

(Old Skool House Mix)

One of my favourite vocal intro's ever!!!

I simply love the vocal intro to this track, fantastically belted out by the legend that is Martha Wash.

I have fond memeories of this being dropped by Graeme Park at the Hacienda back in 1992, it always went down a storm.

A typical Todd Terry remix, with his trademark style and usual top quality, simply a very solid piece of house music with a wonderful vocal performance from Martha Wash.

Martha Wash - Carry On

(Tee's Crazy Mix)

Here's another Balearic classic from Chris Rea!!!

Who would of ever thought that Chris Rea would have produced fantastic dance tracks.

Well here's another superb track, not quite up there with Josephine, but top drawer all the same.

Legend has it that Danny Rampling had been DJing at Shoom and on leaving the club and getting into a taxi, this was on the radio. He asked the Taxi driver to turn it up, liked it and then decided to play it at Shoom the following week to rapturous applause.

A great Balearic story!!! If anyone was at Shoom at remembers this being played, drop me a line.

Enjoy, its a classic!!

Chris Rea - I Can Hear Your Heartbeat

(Unger Club Mix)

Here comes the Ultimate Disco Classic!!!

Yes, this one is widely known, but it's a fantastic piece of dance music and even though it's over 30 years old it still sounds fresh and not over played.

This is the 15 minute version and every single second of it is awesome.

There are lots of shorter versions, lots of remixes of this but in my mind this is still the best version and it gives you close to 16 minutes of a total pure club classic.

To be honest the longer the track goes on the more I like it, I particularly like the bit 12.30mins in.

Just an awesome track. A true piece of dance music history!

Enjoy!!!

Donna Summer - I Feel Love

(Patrick Cowleys 15 minute Megamix)

This is simply a huge Club Classic!!!!

It's funny I've always connected this track with the really annoyingly repetitive "bassline kickin', bassline kickin', bassline kickin', yes, I'm grooving" version of Londres Strut, which was massive in UK clubs, but one I hated and thought was really annoying

However, I was unaware that this fantastic track was also under the same moniker. 

Now I'd heard this track out in clubs many times before, but never knew the track or artist. 

Hence on that note a huge shout out to my friend from across the pond.

This ones for you Allison, as I know you like it and a big thanks for unearthing it for me. 

It's also great to know that fantastic British club music was also getting hammered by the top DJs in the US.

The track is a wonderful piece of progressive house by Fabi Paras, also just listen how similar it is to the Chris and James remix of EGTG's - Missing. 

They both have a very similar feel and in my mind are very alike. 

I'll be having words with Mr Day and Mr Bradley about that one!!

Hope you like the track people - this is British Progressive House at it's very best all the way back from 1992. 

And of course the Chris and James remix of Missing - is one of the finest club tracks ever made!!

Smells Like Heaven - Rhythm De Londres

EBTG - Missing

(Chris and James Full On Club Mix)

Let's finish with a bit of Sting in the tail!!!

Well it wouldn't be right not to have a BiR post tonight would it?
Well here you go with another fantastic BiR remix, as you'd expect it takes you on a full journey fully complementing Sting's excellent vocals.
To be totally honest I think BiR have done better but it is still a fantastic track.
Hey, there will come a time when I hav no more BiR remixes to post, but don't worry that time is a long way off yet.
I hope you enjoy this one peeps!!

Sting - If You Love Somebody Set Them Free
(Brothers in Rhythm Soundtrack)

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?amnqzmuemwi

Can't get enough of your love baby!!!

An absolutely huge track with a great vocal.

In my mind Taylor Dayne was always an average chart fodder type singer and then people starting remixing her tracks which this had a great effect and complemented her vocal qualities.

This one is one you'll all of heard before, but it has some fantastic production by C&C.

Some great bits of piano turn it into a true club classic.

"Can't get enough of your love baby"

"Can't get enough, can't get enough"

Enjoy peeps!!!

Taylor Dayne - Can't Get Enough Of Your Love

(Clivillés and Cole Remix)

I'm gonna burn it down, down, down!!!

I don't usually post tracks which are too current, but hey if there are good then it would be remiss not to post something just because it wasn't an old skool track.

Well here you go a P!nk track!!!

Well my cred is well and truly shot tonight, but hey this is a great track and to be honest I think P!nk is great - Yeah I know she's not a producer of PCCs but she's got great attitude and that counts for a lot.

This is a good track and the best piece of dance floor fodder from the wonderfully gifted Alecia Beth Moore (aka P!nk - stay with me folks!!)

"This used to be a funhouse, But now it's full of evil clowns"

"It's time to start the countdown"

"I'm gonna burn it down down down, I'm gonna burn it down"

I hope you're feeling this one!!!

.

P!nk - Funhouse

(Digital Dog Remix)

Are you ready for a maseeeve stomper!!!!

Well, I'm sure you'll going to love this. This is a result of two of my favourite remixers coming together to produce a fast paced stomping classic.

Full respect to Messrs Day and Wiltshire - another fine piece of musical work from you chaps.

This one sort of drives and drives in a bit of a Hi-NRG stomping Luvdup type manner, hence very much different to the usual style of Chris and James or Jimmy Gomez remixes we are used to hearing from these two dance music legends.

However a very catchy trac which I'm sure would have gone down well in the likes of Vague etc.

The track has a really great "movie soundtrack" ending, which I'm sure is sampled from somewhere. Can anyone think where??

A great track all the same.

Kick on!!!

Well a bit of cheese never hurt anyone did it??

All those dance purists out there forgive me for this one, but hey there's nothing wrong with a bit of cheese!!! In fact a bit of cheese is essential for a good healthly balanced musical diet.

Well this is certainly a piece of cheese and a half.

To be honest I really questioned posting it, as it is very much bordering on a what I used to call a "Mr Craigs tune", but here you go; the piano breakdown is very nice and very catchy.

If you all hate it that much I will take it down. Just dipping my toe in the water of the

cheese-ometer here. Lol.

I hope you enjoy, if not let me know.

The coming together of a Dream Team!!!

Hey peeps, apologies for the lack of posts this week, it has been an extremely hectic one with little chance to get to my favourite pastime of posting fantastic club tracks.

Well, when I check my hard drive I'm amazed to see that I haven't already posted this one on the blog.

A total dream team: when you get the amazing vocal performance of Billie Ray Martin combined with the fantastic remixing talents of Jimmy Gomez and you're bound to get a total PCC.

As you'd expect wonderful vocals, amazing piano and a simply sumptious track.

"Whose gonna lift me up when I fall out of love!"

Enjoy!!

A big Paradise Factory track coming your way!!!

Yo people get a load of this. A true club classic -this one is a sort of rap style track, but very very funky, a little bit Neneh Cheery-ish - it's got loads of attitude.

It was one I always loved, but to be honest had forgotten about.

Hence a bit shout out to Matthew for first of all bringing this one to my attention and also supplying the link.

Respect fella.

I hope you all enjoy the track - it's a great PCC

Dee Fredrix - Dirty Money

(Ramp Club Mix)

Let's up the tempo - a true Oakey classic!!

If there's any track that reminds of me of hearing Paul Oakenfold DJ then it is this one.

It is an absolutely belting track - if you're not a fan of trance get on this one, because this is what trance is all about.

Yes, it's fast, yes it's pumping, but it's also fantastically melodic, atmospheric, full of emotion, all the qualities that a lot of modern trance tracks fail to have.

You can't beat that bit where it's trancing along and then it just suddenly jumps into breakbeat - now breakbeats not my style, but this is good. Then it ramps back into trance mode. Stunning!!

If you not a trance fan give it a try you won't be disappointed.

This ones also for Simonh - a great contributor to this blog. Respect fella I know you were after this one.

Inaura - Como Aroma

(Perfecto Dub Mix)

Good Evening All - now for something a bit different!!

Stay with me on this one people. This is a tad different to the majority of the tracks which I post, but hey you know I wouldn't post something unless it is of the highest quality.

There's lots of blogs out there that post more frequently, probably more up to date stuff, but I hope you all recognise that I will only post stuff of the very highest quality on here.

It's quite simple if I'm not feeling it in the track then I won't post it.

Well for this one folks bring out your Pipes, because this is truly sumptious and absolutely superb piece of music.

I've included 2 mixes one is a club mix which is as you'd expect is dancey and in all fairness - is tops. The other is a Wind Mix and is much more laid back, but equally beautiful.

Lets have some feedback on this post, are you feeling this??

A huge shout out to my good friend in the USA - for suggesting this one. Allison this one is for you!!

Take Me Back To Love, Take Me Back!!!

Here comes another house classic and another huge Hacienda anthem.

A beautifully produced house track, with a great vocal performance form Kathy "Sister" Sledge.

The whole track's got a really uplifting feel with some great piano.

I'm sure it's one you all know and a great sing along track "Take me Back".

However, you probably won't have heard the Steve Anderson remix before.

Well as you'd expect it's a seriously fantastic piece of dance music production. Awesome!!

Enjoy.

Kathy Sledge - Take Me Back To Love Again

(Shelter Me Mix)

Kathy Sledge - Take Me Back To Love 

(DMC Steve Anderson Remix)

Bring it Back To Love people!!!

A brilliant house classic and a huge Hacienda track. I had a many a good night dancing along to this little beauty. Tracks like this were typical of what was played at the Hacienda in 1994.

I've upped two mixes of the track, as both are quality and to be totally honest I think the version they played at the Hac was slightly different as well.

Can anyone confirm that??

All the same a belting house track, with some great vocals and of course some beautiful subtle piano. The Chunked Up Vocal House Miz, just edges for me, it is just a touch more lively!!

Bring it Back to Love indeed!!

Did we all get Clubbed to Death!!!

I think we all pushed things to the limts in the good old days, but we're still hear to tell the tales.

Not quite Clubbed to Death - but we certainly Clubbed (at certain times) till we couldn't stand, talk, walk, speak and many other things. They were crazy times, but unforgettable times!!

I'm sure you'll all of heard this track and it did cross over in 1995 and therefore lost some of it's appeal, hence I've also included a Hybrid remix which retains a faster, harder club edge.

However, in my mind you still can't beat the original - the piano breakdown is still exquisite and really hits the spot. Cross over or not - I still love it.

Enjoy!!!

A real stomping track from back in 1994.

Another huge Chris and James track and yet another which featured on their legendary Essential Mix from 1994.

If you haven't downloaded that yet, shame on you, for you don't know what you are missing.

Here's the link it to it and the post with the track listing. I can guarantee you, you won't ever hear 2 hours of better music.

http://pureclubclassics.blogspot.com/2009/03/greatest-mix-tape-ever-bar-none.html

About this track well a typical type of Chris and James rocking track, lots of nice bouny piano and a real driving feel.

I can fully confirm that this track used to send the dancefloor wild!! (with a capital W).

Get on it. It's a big one.

Who want's to go Higher!!!

Right peeps, last post of the night from me and as usual keen to go out with a bang.

They don't come much better than this, another huuuuge Chris and James remix.

A really great track, great vocals, great tempo, some lovely funky little noises in their and it just builds and builds into an almighty crescendo. Did I mention lots of wonderful piano as well.

Just a typical Chris and James remix then.

Absolutely barnstorming - Get on it people!

Maddy's finest hour!!!

It would be the understatment of the century to say that Madonna has produced some wonderful records.

But in my mind this was and still is the best thing she has ever done.

The lyrics are wonderful, the vocal is superb, the gospel choir delightful. Quite simply one of the best tracks ever made. It was wonderful when dropped in a club, proper "tingles down thr spine time".

There are some many different versions of this track that I just couldn't choose which one I liked best. Hence here you go four versions. There's probably more out there as well.

The acapella is included as it's simply awesome. At push I think 12 inch Extended remix version is my fave.

I'm sure you'll enjoy all four.

Get a load of this one.

Now I bet there's not many of you out there who have heard this one.

Well here's your chance and it's an absolute belter, as you'd expect from the genius that is Mr Steve Anderson.

I think some of this solo remixes are just as good as the BiR remixes.

This ones a bit special. Don't be put off because it's Jesus Jones - naff 90's pop band and all that.

This track is as you'd expect beautifully produced and very uplifting. It's got a really lovely feel to it. Let me have you feedback on this one. Do you like it??

Enjoy!!!

This one goes out to my old Clubbing Buddy!!

This one goes out to one of my old clubbing buddies.

With had some wild hedonistic nights at the likes of the Hacienda, Hard Times, Paradise Factory, Corn Exchange to name but a few.

They were always messy, but oh so memorable.

The track is a fantastic house classic with a typical classy Morales remix and some great subtle piano.

I hope you enjoy this one Michelle!! (I've even included a picture of Paradise Factory!!)

Clubland featuring Zenya Hamilton - (I'm Under) Love Strain

For all the Pleasure Seekers out there!!!

The Title of this track says it all "The Pleasure of the Music" for all the Pleasure Seekers out there!! Thats what this blog is all about.

Another storming piano tune from back in the day.

This one dates back to 1989 and yet still sounds pretty fresh.

I love that decoded vocal and of course some great piano.

Enjoy peeps!!!

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Satisfied!!!

A truly amazing tune. In my mind this was the first really big Mariah club track. (I think Make It Happen came shortly after) It was one which I remember being hammered by Sasha and rightly so because it's superb.

It dates back to 1991 and Clivillés and Cole really were the hottest remixers around at that time. They were also highly prolific and they put out some fantastic stuff in the space of about 18 months. I'm sure you've all got great dancefloor memeories of this one.

Enjoy!!!

Time for some more Balearic Bliss!!

I remember being at a great party in about 1994 and this was dropped and the place just erupted. It was a superb moment. There were certainly plenty of happy people that night (not so sure about Shiny mind!)

The song is an absolute classic anyway, but one of those which is amazing when dropped at the right time in a club. It's good remix as well, which is "danced up" a bit.

It was also a big Chris and James tune to boot.

Enjoy peeps as it's the last post of the night.

This isn't no Fools Paradise!!!

Another track which is again possibly slightly cheesy for the purists among you, but I make no apologies when there as catchy as this is.

It's got some really nice vocals, the obligatory piano and a very catchy riff.

I could quite easily imagine this going down well in teh camper clubs out there.

It'd been a perfect track at the likes of Vague or Paradise Factory (eah particularly with the Paradise in the total).

Have a listen I'm sure you'll enjoy it!!

Let's have a bit more Piano!!!

I couldn't resist a little bit more piano.

Come on people get those hands in the air!!

In this one, there's more than a little piano, there's actually rather a lot of piano.

Another track which probably borders too closely on the cheese-tastic barometer, but it's still very catchy and has just enough cred to be a PCC. The vocals don't help mind!

The track intro really is very nice and then it transcends into cheese-dom.

Still I can't imagine many people would have their hands by their sides if this one was dropped.

Cheese can be good. Lol.

Enjoy people!!

Pianoman - Cast a Spell

Anyone ready for a bit of Soca Fever???

Now when I say Soca Fever - I don't mean the Americans getting excited about the football World Cup (Soccer Fever). Forget it. a really poor gag I know.

I totally love this track, it's absolutely mad.

I never ventured as fat North as Scotland in my clubbing daysm but I'm reliably informed that it was a huge track at the Rhumba Club in Dundee, Scotland.

And believe it was quite a sight watching a 1,000 clubbers going mad doing the Soca.

That's the beauty of club music even bizarre tracks can sound great in the right atmosphere.

Get on it!!

Time for another classic C&J remix!!!

Here comes another absolute stormer courtesy of another fantastic Chris and James. I believe that James Wilthsire (aka Jimmy Gomez) also had a hand in this.

C&J had a great talent for marrying fantastic subtle yet, uplifting piano chords with a really rocking tempo.

This one is no exception, coupled with some great vocals and some fine lyrics. It builds nicely until a huge piano breakdown. I know you're all gonna love this one.

Alright peeps, I've had this one lined up to post for quite some time.

It was just so unique when it came out back in 1991/2.

There weren't too many club tracks around which featured Aborigines chanting and didgerdoos.

It always went down an absolute storm.

I know that there's certainly one of my US friends out there who'll appreciate this.

This is a true Epic - a Club Monster!!!

There are some tracks that are good, some that are really good and then ones that are simply epic!!

This one is truly epic.

14 minutes 37 secs in length but every moment of it is electric, the vocals are superb and the piano chords in it are wonderful.

It has a feel very similar to a Brothers in Rhythm/Jimmy Gomez remix, hence any BiR fans out there then this is a must.

A truly wonderful track and a big shout out to Holty for putting this my way. Keep 'em coming like this bud.

I know I probably say that every track on this blog is brilliant (well they are aren't they?), but this really is special. HuuuuugE!!!

Enjoy!!

Visions featuring Dianne Lynne - Coming Home

(Sunday Club Remix)

Go on then, just one more!!!

Well, I've not posted any BiR yet tonight hence one's well overdue.

This one is yet another fantastic remix, as you come to expect from the BiR team.

In their usual style it builds nicely, retains the feel of the original, fully complements the vocals and throws in the uplifting piano chords at exactly the right moments.

Let's just say "Masters At Work" (and I don't mean Vega and Gonzalez).

I'm still searching for the final 2 BiR remixes I've yet to track down, if anyone out there can help (Pulp and Polaroid as featured on my most wanted list).

This track is just awesome when the "Can't stop praising his name" bit kicks in.

Nobody can like BiR can!! Look even Jesus has his hands in the air!!!

Final one for tonight, but a good 'un!!!

I've been searching for this for sometime, it's a true old skool classic, that like many of the "piano tunes" from that era has a touch of cheese, but all the same are bloody good.

This one's as catchy as hell with of course the obligatory piano breakdown.

Come on let's see those hands in the air, especially at the end for the finale.

"Not giving you up, not giving you up, not giving you up"

"I never give, I never give, I never give you up"

It was no wonder we had so many good nights out with tunes like this being dropped.

Thanks to Antti for tracking this one down. Respect fella.

Enjoy.

Rhythm of Life - Never Give You Up

You've gotta Keep Movin'!!!

Here comes a fantastic house track and one that you'll know as soon as you hear it, if not by title.

This one dates back to 1991 nd although 18 years old it still sounds as fresh now as it did in clubs when it was released.

A pure club classic with a really catchy hook and then it breaks into some superb key changes mid through. The word "House Classic" is widely over used, but it is the only way to describe this track.

As I've said many a time before about tracks as good as this "if you don't like this you ain't got a dancing bone in your body"

Get on it peeps.

Just check this out for a fantastic remix. Above and Beyond have created some brilliant stuff and their type of trance is just my bag. Not too heavy, but really pumping, yet melodic at the same type with epic build ups and drops.

This track is "simply awesome". It just touches every spot going.

It combines the great vocals, the full atmosphere and it takes you on a great journey.

They'll be plenty more Above and Beyond on the blog in future.

We're on a roll - some more classic disco!!

Just had a bizarre experience and my second "Unaghi Effect "moment of the night (Holty'll know what I mean my that).

I've had this track lined up to post for the last few weeks, but never got round to it, then out of the blue it was suggested by Allison a new friend to this blog and responsible for providing some corking tracks to boot.

This ones another huge disco classic - and a huge Chris and James tune.

Respect to you both fellas.

I've upped two versions one is the Original version back to 1979 and the other is a Razormaid remix which keeps much the same feel of the original, but extends into a kind of Donna Summer - I Feel Love type vibe. Very nice indeed.

Let's stay on the Disco vibe!!!

Peeps it is of vital importance to pay homage to Disco.

If we hadn't had disco we wouldn't have house music and if we hadn't had house music wouldn't the world be a much sadder place.

It never ceases to amaze me how many of the great house tracks can be traced back to disco, whether its samples, riffs, lyrics, beats whatever.

This is a fantastic classic disco track brought up to date with a 90's feel - also known as the theme from The Soul Train.

It was a huge Vague track and it's a really fantastic piece of music.

It retains the classic disco feel, but has that 90's kick.

Disco will never die.

Enjoy!!

Let's get Disco-tastic, no let's get Horny!!!

Here's a simply storming tune which I'm sure you'll all know when you hear it.

It absolutely disco-tastic with so many familar breakdowns and samples.

You'll be able to hear Relight My Fire in it and lots of other disco records, that I should know the names of but can't quite recall.

However, it all creates a fantastic dancefloor moment, although it dates bacl to 1989 I remember Sasha playing it once at a Soak event the Leeds Corn Exchange.

If anyone knows the other disco tracks featured in it give me a shout.

I'm sure you'll agree it's another PCC.

It's funny sometimes I have things lined up to post and then someone asks me to post the same track. It must be fate!!

The A-Ha track, people might thinks it cheesy, but I heard this once at a great house party back in about 1994 and I can tell you I don't think I've rushed as much in my life. It sounded simply amazing.

A big shout to Alllison for providing this version, it's much better than the poppier version I had.

I've also posted the re-worked version which came out in 1994 by Diva. It's not a bad re-work but give me the A-Ha version anytime. Even an Oakie Perfecto remix didn't improve it sufficiently enough to beat the A-Ha version.

Believe me peeps when I tell you the A-Ha version isn't cheesy, it is pure Balearic Bliss.

Now here's the best thing that Utah Saints ever did. Forget all that commercial stuff like "What can you do for me" and "Something Good" (although that was quite good), this one is the real deal.

The best track they ever made by far - another awesome tune that Oakey hammered.

I remember hearing this in Cream and being totally blown away.

A great remix by Red Jerry - who did some pretty hot remixes (e.g. Wizards of Sonic).

This ones a really pumping track, but then breaks down into the most amazing trance moment with some beautiful piano, it really is another "shivers down the spine" moment.

Simply stunning!!

"Won't you come back tomorrow, will you come back tomorrow, won't you come back tomorrow"

"Won't you come back, won't you come back"

A big shout out to Harvs for reminding me to post this one. Nice one bud!

Enjoy!!!

Utah Saints - Star

(Red Jerry Mix)

Time for something a little harder!!!

Well I couldn't go on upping nice chilled beautiful tingly paiano tracks all night could I??

This one seriously raises the tempo and is a pumping, thumping trance monster.

Absolutely hammered by Oakie and a key part of many of his sets in the late 90's.

It is quite simply a stunning piece of pumping trance music.

This ones got everything, pumping beats, slowed trance vibes and then the build up into the drum rolls as it kicks in again.

I believe that man DJ Tiesto was behind this one. Tiesto was responsible for some of the best trance music ever made.

This is a true trance anthem. If anyone out there isn't sure about trance, get a load of this.

Enjoy!!

Time for something a little more recent!!!

Well we seem to be on a wonderful tingly piano vibe tonight, so why not stick with it.

Let's not change a winning formula.

Here's another fantastic track which is in my opinion is one of David Morales's finest remix moments. I'd put this up there on a par with Novocento - Day and Night.

In my mind Morales is one of those who's done some simply amazing stuff, but he's seems to chase the pound notes too often (or dollars in his case) going for quantity rather than quality.

This though is absolutely sublime. A really warm, "shivers up your spine" type of feel to it.

Coupled with some great vocals.

It's funny although it dates back to 1996 - it's not one I remember hearing in clubs too often.

I think it was Simonh who brought this track to my attention, if so cheers fella. Respect.

I'm sure you'll all enjoy this one!!

Kuva - Isn't It Time

(Morales Euro Club Mix)

Staying on the old skool vibe!!!

Here's another old skool tune which I'm sure you'll all know and love.

Again this is from 1990 and similar to the last post it's just another brilliant laid back club classic.

Very simple in it's delivery, but oh so effective, with some wonderful uplifting (but gentle) piano.

Which then kicks in a bit faster towards the end.

Another simply stunning track.

Don't you just love this one??

Get on it!!!

(For the slightly less horticultural amongst you - the picture's of Forget Me Knots)

Hey I could of put Fifi up there, but I guess only the Mums and Dads amongst you would get that. Lol.

Bring out the Steel Drums!!!

A real classic track from way back in 1990 - just a really great track with a lovely feel good factor.

It's not often you hear steel drums in house/club music and these give the song a real Caribbean feel. Mix that with some wonderfully subtle piano and you get an amazing track

Big repsect to Trevor Fung who I believe was behind this.

Trevor was also one of the pioneers of Acid House. Respect to you fella.

It also reminds me of True Romance - one of my favourite films with Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette (hence the picture) ans some brialliant cameo roles by Brad Pitt and Gary Oldman.

I'm sure you'll remember it as soon as you hear it.

Bloody Lovely.

How about a bit of Classical Music for you!!

Well it's not often the PCC blog goes all classical (although it did before with a bit of Carmina Burana), but here with have a classic.
Probably better known and the intro to 2001 A Space Odyssey.
It was one of those pieces of music that was just awesome when dropped in a club, so atmospheric.
It was regualrly dropped on News Year Eve - just as the clock was striking 12 to bring in the New Year. What better way to do it.
A truly uplifting moment on any dancefloor.
Enjoy and let me know if you've heard it on a NYE night.

Don't ask me why!

Oh what a tune this is. A real favourite of mine.

Possibly overlooked when compiling my all time Top 30 PCCs.

This track has everything a real fantastic atmosphere, some lovely haunting vocals and a great little chuggy beat. A really special track. This one dates back to 1991.

It was one of those tunes that when you heard it in a club, you'd just close your eyes, bliss out, and then open them again with a huge grin on your face and give a big nod and hugs to the nearest person to you. Crazy, I know, but that's what we did.

"Move a little closer indulge your wildest dreams"

"The price of my seduction is not what you may think"

"Don't ask why"

"Don't ask me why"

Are you loving this one??

The Beat Club - Dreams Were Made To Be Broken

(Beat Mix) 

A great fanfare to kick off the Weekend!!

I'm sure you'll have heard this out before, it's a very famous track and the intro has been widely used in a lot of DJ sets.

It used to be big with Sasha back in the day.

A truly brilliant piece of music and I'm sure one that all your Mums and Dads will know. Lol.

The track itself is true Balearic Bliss.

Enjoy.

Hands up who likes Piano???

Been a while since I upped some real stomping piano tunes.

This one goes back to 1991 and it was a true hands in the air piano anthem.

Typical of the Italian piano tracks that were out at that time.

They all had a similar formula, great vocals (Black Box-ish) and of course some stomping piano.

"Pump me up, mess me up, pump me up, wreck my body"

"Only one way to go, Higher, Higher"

"Work together, Work together, show a little Unity"

Hands in the air people please!!!

Melody is good to me!!

"Check the beat, check the rhythm on the beat".

One of the all time classic disco tracks. This track was huge on all dancefloors from it's original release in 1979. It was then given a fantastic re-working by Sure Is Pure in 1993.

It's that era that brings back some great memories of dancing away to this. It was one of those tracks which was regularly dropped as it got such a fantastic response on the dancefloor.

Everyone knew it and hence everyone danced and sang along.

Sure Is Pure - were on fire at that time and were putting out some superb stuff.

This track will go down in club history as one of the all time greats. It still and always will sound fantastic.

"We're Lost In Music, Caught in a Trap, No turning back, We're Lost In Music"

Never a truer word said!!
