"Take me away, a secret place, a sweet escape"

Another fantastic remix from Stonebridge accompanied by another excellent vocal performance from the uber-talented Ms Bedingfield.
She's really got a great voice and it's superb for dance music when remixed this well.
All in all another top notch track, which keeps a great balance between dancefloor friendly yet keeping those great vocals intact.
Quality indeed.

Natasha Bedingfield - Pocketful Of Sunshine
(Stonebridge Club Mix)


Another fantastic remix by those Luvdup chappies!!!

The Luvdup Twins could always be relied on for corking hot remixes, with bucket loads of cascading pianos, absolutely pounding away.
This one is in their typical style, very in your face and uplifting with an avalanche of piano.
They never fail with their remix style.
If you've got a winning formula stick with it.
You won't be disappointed with this one!!
Piano!!!
Nice bit of rapping from the Ice MC as well!
Enjoy!!!

It's true, "You Can Have It All!!!" Quality dance music!!

Here's another one I used to love from back in 1995.
Just a sumptious club track, great vocals, great cascading piano, great lyrics - you know the type!!
"Little girl, you're too young to settle down"
"You fall in love with the first man you throw your arms around"
"Don't you know there's a great big world for you to see?"
Just as good as "Love Come Down" IMHO.
Quality dance music. Just wait for that piano to kick - on 6mins (and keep on kicking). Nice!!!
Get on it!!!

"It's sinful, it's tragic!!!"

Now for something completely different.
A big Acid House Balearic classic - I bloody love this one.
Big at the likes of Shoom.
Not the danciest of PCCs, but it's just a really great track and still sounds great today.
Love the lyrics as well.
"Hey Joe, got the news tonight should I laugh or should I cry or should I stay and fight"
"It's sinful, so true"
You can't beat the "Badda Da, Badda Da, Badda Da, Badda Da, Badda Da, Badda Da, Ba Yah"
Quality.

Pete Wylie - Sinful
(Tribal Mix)

Another fantastic piece of early Progressive House!!!

It's been while since I've played this one.
It was one I used to love back in the day and was one of the big progressive house tunes from back in 1992.
Dance 2 Trance made some great tracks and "Power of the American Natives" has already been posted on the blog.
It's just got a great atmospheric feel to it and of course the riff is very memorable.
So to all my American friends out there "Hello San Francisco"!

Is summer on it's way?? Let's hope so!!

Well folks the weathers been scorching in Blighty today.
So here I give you a superb summer track.
Almost anything with a bit of Spanish Guitar in seems to give a summer vibe, hence couple this with the fantastic vocal performance which we always get from Ms Small and you have a sure-fire PCC summer scorcher.
Great remix from Judge Jules who isn't big on the remix front.
This is nice - perfect for a summers day.
"You and me, so excited", "You and me, so excited", "You and me, so excited"

Beautiful, Beautiful House Music!!!

Hopefully this blog brings a pretty good cross section of dance music delights, which encompass my real musical passions, notably House Music, Balearic, Trance, Old Skool and all the other genres which are closely associated.
The last few posts have all touched some of those areas, so now back to some classic house music.
I just love this track which typifies everything which is great about house music.
Brilliant vocals, a really uplifting vibe, very catchy, with some lovely subtle piano - perfect!!!
The remix is courtesy of Mr Morales and Mr Knuckles and hence there should be no surprise that it is such a top notch track. And just to think that this is 21 years old - it still sounds amazing!! A true PCC!!!
"We need love together, right now"! Come on sing along - "We need love together, right now"!
Enjoy!!

L.A. Mix Featuring Kevin Henry - Love Together
(American Lovers 12")

Piano, Piano, Piano!!!

Well here's a track that you simply can't fail to love.
The type of track which was big "Up North"!!
All of us Northerners have a huge passion for our "Piano Tunes" and it always amazed me why it was such a Northern thing and that these type of tracks weren't really played "Down Sarf"
It can only be because us Northerners have better taste in music!! Lol!!
Joking aside, the track's just really catchy with a lovely instant feel and some great flowing piano (from back in 1991).
The instrumental version or vocal version take your pick, both are great, but the instrumental version just tops it for me, as the vocal (Club) version is a little on the cheesy side.

C'est Ca - Use That Thing

A lovely piece of floaty trance!!!

Anyone who visits this blog regualrly will know of my love of real quality trance. Not always the kind of trance fodder which was banged out by all the big European DJ's but the real quality stuff.
The kind of tracks which Oakey was banging out from circa 1994 to 2000.
This is real nice piece of floaty trance which has a great feel to it. A bit similar in style to the sort of "dream music" which became popular following the Robert Miles track "Children". However, this well pre-dates that as this was made in 1993.
Just a great trance track IMHO!!!

Cosmic Baby - Heaven's Tears

Who likes Mayonnaise???

Well not me for one, I'm a salad cream man, but do I like this track - yes, hell I do!!!
Be patient with it as it has a quite dull opening, but then throws in some lucious piano chords at 2min 30secs.
It doesn't quite build to the crescendo that you'd potentially like, but those piano chords just sound great.
This one cmae out of Germany in 1995 and the Germans aren't renowned for there great dance tracks, but this is very tasty!!
All those for Mayonnaise say Aye!!!

Let's Make the World go Round!

Another track i cannot believe has not been posted here yet. first released in 1996, and i think has been re-released every year since and being given the remix twice over, but you cant beat the Deep Dish vocal mix.

Camisra's let me show you has sampled this track and probably many others. Another one of those classics that can be heard being played in a lot of clubs still to this day.

Enjoy.

Is it summertime yet? Oh well here's wishing!!!

Another piece of Way Out West quality remixing a beautiful track from legendary Ibiza DJ Jose Padilla.
An absolutely perfect track for those balmy summer nights.
It's not quite summer, but here's hoping for a good one.
This track is a little slice of heaven.
I just love the laid back feel, the whole atmosphere and vibe of the track - simply beautiful.
The little chuckles in there are brilliant as well. Awesome!!
Hey tracks don't have to be banging to be Pure Club Classics.
For all of those of you out there who like the Balearic vibe - get on this one - you won't be disappointed - believe me.
You can almost smell Cafe Del Mar when you listen to this!!
Love it!!

Get ready for a piece of musical genius!!!

I've already posted quite a few Way Out West remixes and tracks on the blog to date and there will be many more to come.
They produced some amazing work over the years and although some of their stuff wasn't always great, there were many slices of genius in amongst.
This is one of those true pieces of genius - the opening introduction of this track is pure heaven.
The atmosphere, the feeling, the vibe it creates, is amazing. It reminds me of those times when you were on the dancefloor and just swimming and floating like you were in heaven. Heady days indeed!!
The first 5 mins of this track are asbolutely sensational.
Are you feeling it!!

A couple of real classics for the old skool posse!!!

Here's a couple of fantastic tracks for those of you out there (and I know there's plenty) who love their old skool.
Why am I posting two tracks together, well they were both released on the same piece of vinyl- On Your Todd on the A side and Hevean on the B side.
However, in my opinion they are both very much A tracks - hence a double A.
They typify the spirit and times of 1992 when they were released very upbeat, pretty simple in production terms but very effective with some great piano and a "hands in the air" vibe.
On Your Todd - has some great piano and sax, whilst Heaven is more hardcore (but not to hard)  in style (a la Terrorize style), but the piano and the synth is awesome and very very energetic!!
Out of the two I think Heaven is probably the better track, both are great though!
Enjoy, as I'm sure you will.

UDG - On Your Todd

UDG - Heaven

Another discotastic delight!!

You just can't beat some of the old disco classics. This is one that I totally love.
I remember the Luvdup Twins playing this in one of their sets at Vague back in 1993.
It's just a classic disco track from start to finish, with a great flowing rhythm and a very funky disco party feel.
Made in 1978 - it still sounds brilliant 32 years on.
"You dance to the music, like nobody does"
"The first time I saw you I thought is was love"
Cuba indeed!!

"They always said that you knew best!"

I always loved this track and have very fond memories of Todd Terry dropping it at L'America at the Corn Exchange in Leeds, in 1993. He played one of the most egotistical sets of I've ever heard a DJ play (virtually every track he dropped was one of his own productions or one of his remixes), but it was a bloody legendary set and yes every track was different class.
This track was a real belter, a bit poppy but with those great crunchy beats which are a trademark of all Todd Terry remixes.
This one is under one of his many alias' - this time the House of Gypsies.
As you'd expect the vocals are superb from Annie Lennox.
Great track, great memories.
The picture of Demi Moore - well this track was also pretty prominent in the film Striptease starring Ms. Moore. A good excuse to post a picture of a delightful lady.

"You can't escape, you can't escape my wild love"!!!

Anyone who follows this blog will know of my great liking for Chris and James remixes and although this one isn't one of their most well known - it is right up there with some of their best (IMHO)!!.
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!!

Joy Lynn White - Wild Love

http://www.mediafire.com/?hzuril1zjlj

Who wants another house classic??

Yeah course you do. A fantastic house track and fantastic remix from Mr Park himself.
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???"

I hope you all like this one - as it certainly looks like a beautiful morning outside and what better way to start it off with then listening to this track.
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!!

Let's see that Inner Smile!!!

I always thought that Texas produced some really great tracks, (although not for the dancefloor).
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,"

Get on it, highly infectious!!

Ayia Napa '96 in the place!!!

Inspired by Trev's last post, a tune I remember well from a great holiday in Ayia Napa, here's another one which was absolutely huge on that holiday in 1996 - The Kool Club was having it right off back then!!!
I can still remember the tinges of excitement that we got as we entered "the square" to start another night of non-stop partying.
Great times!
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!!!

The 2 Amigos


Well, i havnt been posting in a little while, so i thought i better post something good for the comeback! I love this track, especially when the vocal kicks in.

"Gotta have house music, all night long, with that house music, you cant go wrong"

The 2 Amigos - Recycled part 1, from around the 1995 era, this is a classic and not a track you would find on a lot of club classic compilations strangely enough. like many of the tracks posted here on this site its hard to believe that 15 years down the line, you can still put a track on that brings a smile to your face and it sounds as good as the first time you heard it!!

Let me know what you think. Enjoy


The 2 Amigos - Recycled part 1 (set you free)

Very apt considering it's the "morning after!!!"

Here's one of my favourite old time classics from way back in 1987 - hard to believe that this track is now 23 years old - amazing - it still sounds asbsolutely superb. So simple, but oh so effective.
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"!!!

Here's an old fave and specially uploaded for Rich.
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!!

Here's a great slice of old skool, "hands in the air" piano tune from 1992.
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".

Reach out for what you're missing!!!

K-Klass will always be remebered for their seminal dance floor classic "Rhythm is a Mystery" and rightly so as it was a fantastic track. However, they also produced some other great tracks and some fantastic remixes and the're still out there DJing all over the world and playin to huge crowds, so repsect fellas.
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!!!

Happy Easter folks, I hoped you've all had a good one and haven't over indulged (on the Easter Eggs that is - lol!!).
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??

Reflect


I believe this was one of Oakenfold's favourite tracks. 
I first heard it on a couple of compilation cds, then found it buried on a back shelf in a record store in Dublin. 
Personally I love this track, again its from the 1996/1997 and if any of you out there frequented Cream, im pretty sure you heard Oakey drop this banger!!

Yeah lets go to the beach!

A good friend of mine, who happens to be a full time dj, first heard this track in a club in ireland called the Foundry around late 1996. 2-3 months later on the local scene the dj dropped this track and the place erupted. An absolute classic, and a track i think Nalin & Kane can never beat! remixed by Tall Paul in 2000, and again by Dennis the Menace entitled "Cruising", i dont think it will be the last time to be given the remix.
People get ready, get ready to fly...........

Nalin & Kane - Beachball 
(Extended Original Vocal)

Want Love?


Another classic in my eyes, i believe Express of Sound have also released their own version of this track! When this particular track was dropped, the lasers would come on, the dry ice would shoot out and the place would go beserk!! some clubs i frequent still drop this track today, i think thats enough said!!

Loops & Tings



Well to start off apologies for not posting in a while. Things got a bit hectic on the home front with 2 new arrivals to the familiia!!

Moving along, when i first posted here i mentioned my top 2 tracks and now its time for my numero 1! this track has brought a smile to my face too many times and although its not house and not my usual kind of stuff, this track done it for me. might not be everyones cup of tea, but a Pure Club Classic in my books. Leave a comment let me know what you think! enjoy....

"I do you, you do me"!!!

Rollo gets off his high horse, comes back from Camping and goes Mystic!!!
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!!!

Evening all, this one goes way back to 1986 and was a key track in those halcyon days of Acid House.
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!!!

Well as regular visitors to the blog will know - I simply love a bit of quality classic house and this one certainly fits that category.
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.

A little bit of Acid House goes a long way!!!

Alright, people!!! This one goes back, way back, back into the very early days of Acid House - 22 years ago in fact back to 1988.
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!!!

To The Beat of the Drum


Another track from the early 1990's, 1994 to be exact it has also been re-released in the early 2000's! Defo a classic but not in my top 10 and i must admit took sometime to grow on me, probably hearing it played to death on all the Ibiza cds and the Cream programme that sky ran about 10 years ago helped. Nonetheless this is a belter.

I have a whitelabel of this track which i will upload shortly which has the vocal of INXS - i need you tonite.
"To the beat of the drum, Bang"

"To the beat of the drum Bang Bang"

The Ethics - La Luna


So In Love with You


This track i still play to this day. i particulary like the breakdown when the guy starts singing and the goes straight back into a beat! Brilliant. originally released in 1994, it was then re-released in 1996 remixed by Full Intention who of course still remix quality tracks to this day.

They have been mentioned on the site already remixing michelle gayle, but this track is their best remix in my opinion.

"Oh woman, i cant live, live without you in my life"

"wooooooo yeah"

Enjoy

MUSICA


Again another track from 1996, that i absolutely love. i used to think the guy was saying pussycats!!


this particular remix is the Invisible Man Remix. there are other remixes from TVD and red jerry knocking around but in my opinion this is the best! Another track that was played to death in my local club!


Enjoy everyone!


"Est ta e la Musica"


Libido - The Second Coming (Invisible Man Remix)



Okay Lets Go


APOLOGIES.....

Hi Guys, sorry but it seems some of the tracks i have posted have bitrates as low as 56!! from now on 192 or higher i promise......
now moving on this particular track was requested in the chatbox last week, so i said i will post here for all. All my tracks so far seem to be from around 1995/1996 and this is no different.

Z-Factor - Gotta keep pushin

This track i cant really comment on as it was never a real favourite of mine, main reason is because it was never really played in the clubs i frequented, though many still love this track including myself. Its been given the remix treatment a few times, and if im correct has even been used in some tv commercials!


"keep on, gotta keep on, gotta keep on"

"Push, Keep on pushin harder"

And the Bit Goes On....

I first heard this track in my local club in 1997, and it took me 2-3 years to get my hands on a copy. this was before the days of downloading etc, so we had to buy everything! im not sure if this is trance or house (a defo classic) but the riff is excellent and a great floor filler. again any comments to let me know what you think. Enjoy...

Snakebite - The Bit Goes On
(Ispirazione (XVX) Remix)

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!

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.

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. Enjoy

Here's the latest mix from Drew G!!

While most of my dance music knowledge and clubbing experiences are late 80's to late 90's, it always good to keep your ear to the ground and listen to the latest stuff which is hitting dancefloors.
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!!!!"

Another huge fave of mine.
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!!!

This is another huge favourite of mine and one which I've been trying to track down to the correct mix.
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!!!

Now for something a bit more banging.
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/
