"You can't escape, you can't escape my wild love"!!!
Joy Lynn White was a not too well known Country singer and Chris and James absolutely transform this track into a huge club anthem.
Lots of great banging piano, some great chord changes and some superb breakdowns.
"You can't escape, you can't escape my wild love"!!!
Absolutely tops in my opinion, god that piano sounds good!! Just wait for the peak at 4.00 mins - awesome!!
These were the sort of tracks that absolutely rocked the dancefloors of the nations top clubs in the early 90's. Get on it.
By the way the Undertones of House is another C&J alias.
Chris, James, not heard from you for a while chaps, if you're out there drop me a line!!

Who wants another house classic??
Inner City were probably the best and most consistent producers of great house music through the late 80's and early 90's. Kevin Saunderson was one of the true pioneers of house music and Paris Grey was a great vocalist.
I've already posted several of their tracks on this blog. This one is everything you'd expect from Inner City - great vocals, pure quality house music and Mr Park then adds the fantastic piano chords to raise the bar even further.
Top drawer house music matey - you'd better believe it!!

"How are feeling, it's a beautiful morning???"
The track is one of the most uplifting you could wish for - with some beautiful vocals.
It just has a really sensational feel about it, full of atmosphere, full of hope, very inspiring and most definitely very uplifting.
Whether in the car or in the house turn it up loud, open those windows and feel the inspiration.
It is indeed a beautful morning!!!
I've included 2 mixes which are both very good, although I think that the BBG mix slightly edges it, as it is a bit more instant and a bit more vocally, with some lovely piano. The Fluke mix is slightly more floaty, dreamy, but stll very good.
Enjoy - because if you don't like this one I'll be shocked!!
"I don't want people crying in the rain, I don't want people living on their own!!"

Let's see that Inner Smile!!!
However, when given a reworking by Stonebridge this track becomes a pure quality dance anthem.
It just uses the basic riff of the track loops in some great piano complimented with snippets of Sharleen's great vocals.
This dates back to 2000 and see the second Texas post on the blog.
"So come on make your move and get my inner smile"
"Yeah, Yeah,"
A top drawer remix, for a top drawer song, from a top drawer band.
Get on it, highly infectious!!

Ayia Napa '96 in the place!!!
About this track, well it's just got one of the most infectious grooves ever. Very simple in style with that superb groove just looping time and time again.
It was one of those tunes that you just couldn't stand still to, as it just instantly makes you want to shuffle those feet and groove.
Legendary track - house music at it's very best - so simple, but oh so effective.
Enjoy!!!

Very apt considering it's the "morning after!!!"
You can quite often tell a really good old classic as they tend to spawn many other tracks.
Just a few that sampled/took their inspiration from this one (and I'm sure there are many more) include D-Tek - Drop The Rock, Ramp - Rock The Discotek and All Boxed In - Happen.
A Pure Club Classic of the very highest order.
I've also posted the All Boxed In track as that too is a great PCC and a big fave of mine from back in a day.
Enjoy!!!

Because we got "a definition of love"!!!
A real top tune this one from way back in 1989 - it's got all those essential ingredients, great vocals, great lyrics and of course some fantastic piano.
All in all a top tune me thinks.
Enjoy

We all need some "Love and Money!!
Nothing complex about this one just a good old fashioned Italian House classic, the way we all love them.
Lots of great piano, some simple vocals.
Come on now hands in the air, singalong "Love and Money".
The High Givers - Love & Money
(Remix 1)

Reach out for what you're missing!!!
This is my favourite other K-Klass track and was one which was slightly overlooked in my opinion and wasn't that widely played in clubland.
It has all the components of a great club track though with some great piano, catchy vocals and a nice rhythm. The highlight of the track though are the drum rolls and the synth build I always love those bits, it's like fireworks exploding.
Great track from back in '94!!

It's not quite June, but this is flaming hot!!!
It's been a while since I posted a track so here I give you a real quality classic.
A lot of people absolutely raved about Brian Transeau when he first came onto the UK club scene back in 1993. I remember hearing a quote from Sasha stating that he was bored of DJing and was thinking of packing it in, then BT came along and inspired him.
In my humble opinion although BT was clearly a musician and producer of very high repute I always found most of his tracks a little "over produced" a bit self indulgent and not really that dancefloor friendly (well not to my tastes at least!!).
However, there was no mistaking his talent and he did produce some fantastic tracks and some excellent remixes.
This was IMHO one of his very best, again not that dancefloor friendly, but a real musical journey.
Let me know your thoughts!!
P.S. The picture is a famous painting from Frederick Leighton called Flaming June, but you probably already knew that??

"I do you, you do me"!!!
Another fantastic track from that man Rollo, who was responsible for some superb tracks and some great remixes. He was also part of Faithless which people may be aware of, but probably fewer people are aware that he is Dido's older brother and produced many of her tracks.
Enough said the man's a bit of a ledge!!
About this track, well it's typical Rollo production, very simple, but very pounding and energetic and very very good.
Be patient as it builds, but prepare yourself for one of the great piano breakdowns in club music.
Simply awesome - I love this one and I'm sure you will too!!!
Plus you can't beat lyrics like "I do you, you do me"!!!
Rollo Goes Mystic - Love, Love, Love - Here I Come

This was the Future!!!
This was the track which Oakey used to open his sets with at Future every week.
Spectrum and Shoom were the 2 legendary London clubs which kicked off the Acid House culture. Spectrum then morphed into Future and these nights basically laid the foundations for the clubbing scene we all came to love. The Hacienda was also leading the way "up North".
The track is a superb piece of electro dance, very dramatic and very very effective.
Oakey also remixed the track in 2000, which is basically the same as the original but much speeded up.
In my mind you can't beat the original which will always remain a true PCC.
Enjoy!!!

It's all about Survival!!!
Beautiful, beautiful house music the way I like it, great vocals, lovely piano chords mixed to a great 4/4 beat.
This one dates back to 1992 and is a real house music classic.
You may not remember it by the title, but as soon as you hear those lyrics
"It's all about survival, I'm talking about survival" and the beautiful piano chords.
Wow - House Music Heaven!!!
Enjoy.
Machine Orchestra - Survival

A little bit of Acid House goes a long way!!!
It still sounds bloody ace though.
Lots of fantastic squelchy acid, mixed with some lush piano. I still love this track to the day.
DJ Fast Eddie did some great stuff back then and was one of the best on the scene at that time.
A bit of a blast from the past this one, but I'm sure you'll agree - a total PCC!!!
Enjoy!!!

GOOD LIFE!
Staying with 1995, i dont think this has been posted here yet! a classic from the new power generation, remixed by Dancin' Divas, the breakdown with the vocal got everyone singing, and then the beat kicks in. Enough said....... Enjoy!The New Power Generation - Good Life (Dancin' Divas Club Mix)

Common People
Not sure if this track is everybodys taste but hey i love it! Remixed by Motiv-8, who still remix to this day and seemed to do loads back in the day, again another track that when played would bring a smile to your face. Again fom 1995, seeing as PCC posted a Blur track i thought this would fit the bill too. Hopefully you will enjoy, leave a comment let me know.Pulp - Common People (Motiv-8 12" Mix) www.mediafire.com/?ljmyzucto32
Set You Free
The original mix of this track never really doen it for me! The amsterdam remix on cd2 is only what i could call an absolute belter. Again played in a club close to home many years ago, i could drop this track today and still get as good a response as it did in its prime (15 Years ago). I am also posting a link to the Time Frequency Mix, another good remix. EnjoyN-Trance - Set You Free (Amsterdam Remix) - www.mediafire.com/?md3ymzjrzjm

Here's the latest mix from Drew G!!
While the scene has changed hugely and there now appears to be very few new quality house tracks, but lots of clever remixes of commercial pop tracks, it's refreshing to hear that there's still lots of real quality out there.
This is typified by Drew's mix sets which are always absolutely spot on.
This one is no exception.
Get on it - you know you want to!!

Last one for tonight - Just "Say My Name!!!!"
The track is trance heaven, very melodic, slightly commercial, but tinged with some beautiful piano and some great vocals. A bloody belter IMHO. Another one hammered by Oakey back in 1997.
"We two are one, no space between"
What we've become, I see in my dreams"
Beautiful trance music!!!
I'd welcome some different mixes of this, if anyone has them. Cheers!!!
Enjoy!!

This one is pretty huge - don't resist the Change!!!
There a lots of different mixes of this about, but this is the one.
I love the intro to this, very dramatic.
The track's got some great vocals and some excellent driven piano.
As you'd expect hammered by Sasha back in the day and IMHO one of his best remixes.
A top track!!!
"Everything is Gonna Change, Everything is out of place"
"Everything is Gonna Change, Giving it another face"
Nice!!!
Rusty - Everything Is Gonna Change
(Sasha's Full Vocal Mix)
Now for something completely different!!! - Bassline!!!
This is a track which I absolutely used to love.
Very different to my normal taste, but it has a synth riff to die for.
It was a track more accustomed to the "rave/hardcore" scene than the clubs I used to typically frequent, but what a riff and what a bassline.
A bit of a monster!!!
A big shout out to the boys from http://oldschoolhousemusic1990-2000.blogspot.com/
Check out their blog it's one of "the" best out there!!
Gordon Edge - Compnded
Call My Name - I'll Be Right There - Oh Yes I Will!!
This one was another big Parky track hammered at the Hac.
Simply a brilliant piece of house music.
Love it, love it, love it!!!

Next was indeed the E!!!
Hold that Sucker Down!!!
You may know this track, but probably remember the horrible vocal version which was probably ome of the most annoying club tracks ever and ended up on every crappy dance compilation going.
However, this was the mix which rocked the clubs back in 1994 and still sounds great today.
So don't be put off by remembering that horrible vocal version.
You may recognise that it's Rollo behind it and is typical of his style - very pumping!!
The chords and build up in this are different class and then it lifts a level and kicks in again - Top Drawer this one matey!! You'd better believe it!!

Let's Push again!!!
Now I know that this track maybe in some people's eyes a bit cheesy and the lyrics are certainly naff, but I can honestly say I've always absolutely loved this track.
It's just so bloody catchy!!
Now come on sing along
"In the forest, there's a monster
and it looks so, very much like me
won't someone, hear me singing
please save me, please rescue me"
Sorry, but I love it!!!!
P.S. I've been after the Jimmy Gomez remix of this also for some time and hence would appreicate it if anyone can find it for me. Cheers.

Time for some quality Trance - Oakey Stylee!!!
I was (and still am) a huge fan of trance, especially the type of tracks which Paul Oakenfold was banging from about 1996 to 2000.
This is one of those Oakey classics. An absolute stomper that builds and builds.
This one was a huge feature of his sets in that era. It simply rocks - just wait for the "ooh".
I never get much feedback on trance tracks but IMHO they don't come much better than this.
This is absolutely huge - turn it up as loud as your speakers will allow and then tell me you're not feeling it??
Huuuge!!!
P.S. Forget the Ferry Corsten remixes - this is the one!!
Push - Universal Nation
(Original 12" Mix)
Question - What do you get if you cross Sasha with BiR??
But hey, you knew that anyway.
This track was IMHO one of Sasha's best as an artist (except "Be As One"), couple it with a BiR remix and you get a truly fantastic piece of dance floor classic.
Excellent vocals from Sam Mollison, it's one that builds and then explodes in true BiR stylee.
Be patience with it, as the peak at the end of the track is quality.
Enjoy.
That's 3 BiR tracks on the trot, no more for a while I promise you.
I've also added the Main Club Mix which was also pretty good!!
Sasha - Higher Ground
(Big Brother's Mix)
Go on then have another BiR classic remix!!!
This one takes a while to build so be patience, but as soon as it kicks in, you'll know that famous riff.
Come on, BiR must be great if they can turn a Blur song into a club classic.
Now that's real talent.
Do you likey???
By the way if you own this on vinyl, keep hold of it as it is v.rare, there were only about 6 copies ever made.
Blur - Song 2
(Brothers in Rhythm Mix)
http://www.mediafire.com/?muznl3nmw2j
It's official Brothers in Rhythm are the greatest remixers!!!
What a close run competition is turned out to be with Brothers in Rhythm just scraping home in gold medal position, beating Morales by just one vote, with Mr Knuckles close behind in 3rd place.
In my mind there is no doubt that BiR are the best of all time, the magnitude and diversity of the artists that they have remixed and the style in which they have remixed them makes them untouchable!!!
Well it's been a while since I posted a BiR remix, but don't worry there are still plenty in my bag.
This one is very subtle, very soothing and just very nice. It's probably not as anthemic as some of their very best stuff, but it's still a very good remix. BiR remain the true benchmark of remix excellence!!

Something a little bit Stompin!!!
I used to love this back in the day, it's a real quality track with some great drum rolls and a great pounding beat throughout.
There were loads of tracks around at that time in 1996 with a similar feel to this one, but many were not as good in my opinion.

A big Sasha tune from back in the day!!!!
Just a quick post to keep the excellent flow going; created by my new blogging buddies Russ and Trev.
This one was a huge Sasha track back in the day and was one of those tracks that you used to hear played out virtually every week, for weeks on end back in 1991.
It's just a real quality tune with lots of great piano chords.
You'll know it as soon as you hear it and think - "Oh yeah Love this one"

Let the "Magic Fly"!!!!
Can you "Feel it in the Air"???
Here's a real old skool classic. Perfect for those of you who like the Italian House "hands in the air" classics.
This one dates back to 1991 and still sounds great even today.
I love the line below - quality!!
"Pacify me (passion), pacify me (emotion), pacify me; (obsession), pacify me; (devotion)"
This one goes out to my old mate Steve O - who I know is a big fan of this track.
Enjoy buddy!!
