Piano Please - oh go on then!!!

Piano please? Well seeming that you asked so politely!!
This is a real old favourite which summed up a lot of the great House tracks which were coming out of Italy in 1990 and 1991 and were tracks which were loved up North!!
Tracks like this were just so instant, in all fairness they are probably not the most spohisticated tracks, but they just hit the spot.
Yes, the lyrics are cheesy, but the piano is great and the track has a superb feel and there is so much variation in the track, lots of familar samples, rapping, tempo changes. I love it!!
If you know this one I'm sure it'll bring back some great memories, if not heard before, have a listen as this very much summed up the spirit of early 90's club culture.
"Are you ready for the music, do you wanna hear the music?"

Brothers & Sisters (Trance Mix)

Never Alone

 

2 Brothers On The 4th Floor - Never Alone (Beats 'R' Us Mix) 

Released: 1994 '' Decent remix of the popular tune, taken from their 1994 album (Dreams)

Come on - Show Me Heaven!!!

Now I know that this is a tad Europop, and verging on the Edam side of things, but it's also very catchy and the vocals are superb.
It was a proper sing-along-anthem.
Of course it is a re-working of the Maria McKee track from the early 90's.
I'm sure most of you will also recognise the use of the sample from BBE - 7 days and one week.
Alright I know it's a bit cheesy, but it really does have a great feel about it.
Do you agree?

Chimira - Show Me Heaven

(Sosumi Master Mix)

Just check the piano breakdown on this - sublime!!!

Here's another old favourite of mine.
This one dates back to 1996 and was a track massively championed by the likes of Dave Seaman.
Be patient with it, as it has a slow build up but when the piano kicks in at 4:25 - you have an amazing piano breakdown, that just never seems to stop. Truly awesome. Very much a goosebumps moment!!
It really is a beautiful track and very, very uplifting,  I'm sure you'll love it.
Let me know your thoughts?
Beat Foundation also produced andother epic track, which will be posted in the future.
Enjoy!!
P.S. Sorry for the crap picture, it's relevance is Foundations!!

Trance at it's best, as we know and love it!!

It's been a while since we had some good trance posted, so here's an absolute cracker.
This was a huge track for Oakey in 1999 and is another fantastic production by Matt Darey.
This track is under his Lost Tribe moniker.
It's very typical of his stuff, pumping, fast, energetic, but also filled with emotion and beautiful breakdowns into lovely piano and ethereal atmospherics.
The intro at 1:40 is amazing, pure pounding driving trance. Hold on to your hats and listen to the Gamemaster!!
Absolutely top notch.
There were plenty of remixes done of this, but the Original Mix is the one that does it for me.
Awesome!!!

Lost Tribe - Gamemaster
(Original Mix)

Possibly the greatest house record ever??

Well it's certainly up there.
This one dates back to 1987 and is an all time classic house track. The best ever? Certainly up there.
In fact I can't believe that I haven't posted it before now!
Marshall Jefferson was behind this one.
Even the bloody Pet Shop Boys had the cheek to do a cover version of this in 1989.
The vocals in this version and of course of piano are simply amazing. 
Certainly more than just "alright".
Pure house heaven!!

Sterling Void - It's Alright

Oh Yes - The Magic's Back Again!!!!

Now then people, I hope you are all well.
Now here's a tune and a half for you.
Most people will remember the M.A.N.I.C. track "I'm Coming Hardcore", which wasn't really hardcore, but we all used to love the amazing piano riff.
Well this is where the piano riff was lifted from.
If you haven't heard this before you've just got to check it.
It's the piano riff from heaven and a few lush Alison Limerick vocals to boot.
Believe me "the rhythm is hot"!!!
"The Magic's Back Again"
Enjoy!!
It must be a great tune, even Magic's got his hands in the air!! Go on my son!!!

Malcolm McLaren feat. Alison Limerick -
Magics Back (House Mix)

"I don't need this pressure on, I don't need this pressure on!!"

Join in the chant people.
It's been a while since I posted a BiR remix.
I've still plenty up my sleeve but have to admit that most their best stuff has already been posted on the blog.
Well they have had 50 posts to date, so it couldn't go on forever.
This is a typical top drawer BiR remix. Not quite as spellbinding as many of their remixes, but still very good indeed.
Are we all ready for the chant?
"I don't need this pressure on, I don't need this pressure on, "I don't need this pressure onnnnnnnnn, "
A top Spandau song from back in 1981, this remix was done in 1992.
Enjoy!!

Spandau Ballet - Chant No. 1
(I Don't Need This Pressure On)
(Brothers In Rhythm DMC Remix)

"Give me all your love"!!

Go on then, some more piano for you old skoolers!!!
Now this was a massive piano anthem back in the day in 1991.
Absolutely typical of thise fantastic piano anthems that came out of Italy in 1991.
The ones which were absolutely loved on dancefloors up North - the sort of stuff that Sasha used to cane in his hey day.
This one is a typical "hands in the air" anthem.
Simple. but very effective -  come on "Give me all your love"!!
Enjoy!!

Mimmo Mix feat. Valerie Etienne - All Your Love
(Club Mix)

Here comes the Carnival - are you ready for it?

This one has a bit of a story to it, It was recommended to me by Chris Day as it was a huge track for them when played out.

I could only find a "chopped" version downloaded from YouTube, which I then posted on my blog seeking the original.
Someone informed me I could buy a vinyl copy from Discogs - so I did for a bargain £5.
I've had it for about 4 months and never got round to ripping it.
Then about of the blue I get sent an mp3 - big respect to Denny - nice one fella.
About the track, well it's a bit of a monster (oh hell I sound like Pete Tong).
No, the track it an absolue anthem, very disco-ified but with a real "crunchy" feel, - have a listen and you'll know what I mean -  the riff is amazing. Those disco heads may also recognise the Bumblebee United - Lady Bug riff - (which was another great track and is also on the blog).
This track is absolutely huge believe me. Let's have your feedback on this one.
Enjoy!!!

"Give me all your loving don't you stop!!!"

Here's another biggie for you peeps. Anyone fancy a bit of "Mary Jane"!!
Matthew Roberts and Bottom Dollar produced some fantastic remixes, right up my street.
This is just one of those (don't worry plenty more to come from them).
Great vocals by Mary J Blige as you'd expect, lots of great piano, some great lyrics, luverly.
I just love the intro the way it just builds before breaking into that great vlocal
"Give me all your loving don't you stop"
"My love waiting when you reach the top, (All night long)"
"Come into my bedroom honey, what I've got we'lll make spend money(All night long) "
Lush!!

Mary J. Blige - Mary Jane (All Night Long)
(Bottom Dollar House Vocal)

It began in Africa!

A classic italodance track from 1989. 

This was the first summer I went to Ibiza and this tune was everywhere.

Chicco Secci Project - Whip Of The Rhythm 

(New Beat In Africa Version)

The First Ever Trance Track

This is a great tune which was massive in 1990 and very different to other stuff which was out at the time. It is credited with being the first ever trance tune. 

There was a great remix by Jam and Spoon in 1992 (Watch Out For The Stella Remix) but I prefer the original. 

The Age Of Love - The Age Of Love 

(Flying Mix)

Just feel this for a Summer tune!!!

Now then folks this is the one and probably only time you will find any breakbeat/jungle on the PCC blog,as I'm not a big fan of that musical genre.
But there are always exceptions and this is certainly one of them.
This track is huge in many ways, it's got some delightful piano and a lovely atmosphere and even the breakbeat seems to complement the track.
I had it on vinyl back in the day, but ended up leaving it one of my mates house. His gain, my loss.
So a big shout out to Wee Ste for tracking this down for me.
You're a legend fella.
People give me your feedback on this track?
Love it or hate it??
I certainly love it!!
Enjoy!

"How Can I Love You More" indeed!!!

Now anyone who visits this blog regularly will know of my huge liking to the vocal talents of Ms Heather Small and the fantastic tracks created by Hacienda DJ legend Mike Pickering under his M-People guise.
Add some wonderful remixes to many of their tracks and you have dancefloor heaven.
Here are 2 of the finest examples of this.
Back in 1991 - M-People released "How Can I Love You More" and it was a great track dying for a good remix. Trouble was the remixes IMHO were dull and uninspriring and didn't bring a great track to life on the dancefloor. "Sasha's Master Mix" was dull and didn't really peak, but he then created the "Qat Mix" which took the track to another level.
It's taken a while to track a clean version of this down, but big thanks to Tom Ferguson from Galaxy FM and Wee Ste, who both provided the track on the same day, after I'd been searching for a clean version for ages.
The Qat remix is a real belter, it builds and then really explodes.
As an additional treat I've also included the "Jimmy Gomez 6am Remix", which is stunning. Very much in usual Jimmy G stylee, it builds and builds and is layered with some equisite piano, very impressive indeed.
Which version is best?? I'd probably say the Jimmy Gomez remix, but both tracks are very special.
You decide?

M People - How Can I Love You More?

M People - How Can I Love You More?
(Jimmy Gomez 6am Remix)

http://www.4shared.com/audio/ulFaAABH/M_People_-_How_Can_I_Love_You_.html

You know you "gotta to have it"!!

"Well I've got to have it" - it could be the opening line to many a sentence. This track for instance, as once you've heard it you'll certainly need to "have it".
This one is an absolute top notcher, very, very mellow and very balearic in style, but a track I absolutely love.
I first heard it when the Luvdup Twins played at Vague in 1993 and have loved it ever since, they mixed it into Outrage - Tall and Handsome - which then ensued to "blow the roof off"!!
After searching for it for years, a big shout goes out to Dirk for tracking it down for me, nice one fella!
Vanessa Paradis in a music sense is probably better known for "Joe Le Taxi" and of course is even better known as an uber famous model, actress and of course wife of Johnny Depp.
The track is very laid back very infectious, with some lovely vocals and some very catchy lyrics.
It's about her relationship at the time (1992) with Lenny Kravitz, if you hadn't guessed.
"But I gotta have it, watching for the damage, from New York straight to Paris, I'm talking Lenny Kravitz"
You know you "gotta to have it"!!
Enjoy!!

An All Time Classic

I am finishing this weekend off with one of the tunes which got me into house music. I heard it played on a barge going up and down the Thames all night, way way back in 1987. I have no idea who the DJ was, but he was playing music like I had never heard before. Needless to say I was hooked. This was one of the tunes played that night. It was also one of the first dance tracks I got from Eastern Bloc in Manchester.
It is a simple but stunning track - great vocals by Jamie Principle and given that special Frankie Knuckles touch of magic.

I Need Your Love - Frankie Knuckles Featuring Jamie Principle

In Deep

To make up for my earlier re-post, I thought that I would upload this little gem. 

It has a really chilled vibe but it is definitely a top draw PCC . 

Club House - Deep In My Heart 

(Extended Mix)

Dance No More

Back to 1991 now. This classic house tune was massive everywhere. I just love the lyrics:
"dance till you can't,
dance till you can't dance no more"

E-Lustrious - Dance No More

One day it will get you in trouble!

Surely this is the greatest dance track of all time...featuring the harmonica? 

A great stomping track I hope you like it as much as I do.

Lemon Interupt - Big Mouth

Alright (Sasha Remix)

This is a great tune from 1991. I remember it being played in Shellys and the place just erupted.

Urban Soul - Alright

Oh yeah "I Like it like that"!!!

Here'a another classic, talk about sing-a-long anthem or what!!!
This one dates back to 1994 and was always a huge smash on clublands more discerning dancefloors.
It always sounded great when played in summer as it has a very summer vibe.
Are you ready?
"Stamp your feet, if you like my beat"
"Clap your hands, if you want some more"
"Stamp your feet, if you like my beat"
"Clap your hands, if you want some more"
Quality - Summer's here!!!

The Blackout Allstars - I Like It Like That
(Reefa! ! 12" Remix)

http://www.mediafire.com/?xgad1i8l1rhp14v

Come on, feel the "Sensation, Sensation"!!!

Another huge fave of mine (aren't they all??)
I'm sure that all those of you who have downloaded or listened to the legendary Chris and James Essential Mix (on the blog) will remember this one well.
Everytime I hear this track it just reminds me of that mix, which is still the greatest mix set I've ever heard.
This track is pure quality, catchy as hell with a really catchy hook and those great "Sensation, Sensation" samples. The tinkly piano is great also.
Of course the hook comes from the INXS track - New Sensation.
This one goes out to Dave who I know is a big fan of this track and has been trying to track it down for a while.
Enjoy fella, it's a belter!!

Electroset - Sensation
(Tin Tin Out Remix)

http://www.mediafire.com/?pz2n0zoc9cl

Feel the vibe and totally "Rock It"!!

Another great classic from back in the day.
One I used to love hearing out, a really nice simple track that suddenly comes alive with some beautiful piano.
You may not recognise the track by it's title, but as soon as you hear it, you'll think "yeah, I love that track"
It's pure quality - a total PCC!!
Enjoy peeps!!

Vibe Alive - Rock It

http://www.mediafire.com/?o72l4atschjqh45

They don't get much better!!!

A huge, huge fave of mine.
Yes, I know the vocal version was absolutely pants and I hated Pete Cunnah's cheesy vocals, but this mix was the real deal.
I used to love mixing accapella's over the top of it - (Daphne - Change - was always good).
The track is sensational from start to finish, just check that amazing intro and then some really big tempo and key changes.
IMHO probably D-Ream's finest moment, even if (this version) didn't get much acclaim.
IMHO as good as the Sasha remix of U R the best Thing (not faint praise indeed!).
If you've only heard the cheesy vocal version, check this it's a cracker.
Hey, even Labour adopting the vocal version as their anthem when Blair came into power, didn't spoli my love of this version.
A big shout out to Raul for tracking it down for me, I had it years ago on vinyl (but lost it) and couldn't remember the mix. Nice one fella.
Enjoy people!!

A Sweet Sensation for you all!!

Alright peeps, apologies for the lack of posts from my side of recent.
Things have been pretty hectic.
Here we are "back with a bang".
A big old skool favourite from 1991.
IMHO this was Shades of Rhythm's best track. although they had a few good uns. This is their 3rd on the blog to date!
They were massive on the PA gigging circuit and I must of heard them several times in different clubs and at events etc. They were always pretty consistent.
About the track, well it's just a classic, very atmospheric, yet uplifting, not too heavy, but pumping all the same, with some nice piano in to boot!!
Enjoy!!

Shades Of Rhythm - Sweet Sensation

Apologies people, the link has been taken down by the DCMA.
If anyone wants it, please drop me an email at the usual address.
Keep the faith,

PIANOHEADZ !

Da Pianoheadz - Lets Do It

Wicked piano tune from the Pianoheadz.
These people get classic club tracks and remix them to an inch of their life.
This one is from their ' Piano-Power EP ' release.
Samples ' Waterfall by Atlantic Ocean '.


http://www.mediafire.com/?dmyyw042lm0

Open Wide

D- Shake Yaaah (Original Mix)

This is a simple hipnotic tune that was a part of the whole Sheffield bleep scene. Released in 1990, the lyrics arent going to win any awards for song writing but that's not the point

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

http://www.mediafire.com/?idt20zj5lje

"White lines, don't do it"!!!

Stay off the Bolivian marching powder kids, it's not big and it's not clever.
This is a great track though and unlike many on the blog, very recent.
This was released in 2008 and has a cracking Stonebridge remix.
They really do produce some superb remixes.
Love the vocals in this as well, really good.
The piano at the end is lush, as well.
Great track!!!

Sia - The Girl You Lost To Cocaine
(Stonebridge Extended Vocal Mix)

http://www.mediafire.com/?3nete2kjnmy

This one's for you Denise!!!

This one is one of my favouraite Balearic tracks and one that I can't believe that I've not posted already.
It's just totally chilled and everytime I hear it I think of warm sunny hazy days.
It's so laid back it nearly falls over, yet is so compelling at the same time.
It's got such a catchy chugging riff and then the piano is so lovely and subtle.
Perfect!!!
Amazing to think it's 25 years old, it still sounds great.
IMHO truly one of the great Balearic tracks of all time.
Just simply stunning.
Enjoy, as I'm sure you will!

Piano Fantasia - Song For Denise
(Audiophile Dance Mix)

Piano, Piano, Piano and some more!!!

Here's two huge piano tunes.
You can certainly never accuse me of not keeping you all supplied with lots of great old skool piano anthems.
Here you have two absolute crackers.
Why have I posted them together, well quite simply because they both use exactly the same piano riff.
Both are great tracks in their own right.
"Hands in the air" time people - piano in the house!!!
The Two Amigos track also throws in a few Whitney samples, which you'll recognise.
Enjoy, as I'm sure you will!!

Floor Federation - Music For The Masses
(Original Mix)

The Two Amigos - That Piano Anthem

(Totally Uplifting Mix)

"Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Madchester vibes in the area"

I was a huge Mondays fan back in the day and saw them live several times notably at the G-Mex and also at Elland Road.

This was always my favourite Mondays track and certainly one of their most club based.
A truly sensational remix courtesy of the legends that are Mr Paul Oakenfold and Mr Andrew Weatherall (and Steve Osbourne), this was really the making of Oakey as a remixer.
The track well what can I say, it's absolutely storming, the piano is immense, the Hallelujah vocals are so sharp and effective. Then you've got usual unique drawal.
As you could imagine, this was massive down at the Hac!!!
Probably the great "indie" Club crossover track of it's generation.
Love it!!
Madchester in the house!!!!

Happy Mondays - Hallelujah
(Club Mix)

"Workout in the morning, in the evening"!!!

Another piece of classic house music courtesy of the legend that is Mr Frankie Knuckles.
It's everything you'd expect from a Frankie Knuckles track, great piano, great rhythm accompanied with some very catchy lyrics and some great vocals from Roberta Gilliam.
It was remixed by David Morales and produced by Todd Terry hence with 3 house music legends involved it was bound to be special.
Top class house music - just as we love it!!
"Work out in the morning, work out in the evening, workout, take me higher"
"Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby,"
"Workout, do it baby, make me crazy, workout, lift me higher"
"Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby,"
Come on!!

Frankie Knuckles Featuring Roberta Gilliam - Workout
(1992 Vocal Mix)

No "regrets" about this one, it's pure quality!!

I've always been a huge New Order fan (and Joy Division for that matter), but never been a really big fan of New Order songs which are remixed.
However, this is a real exception.
On the same note I've never been a big Farley/Heller/Fire Island fan.
Their remixes to me are always a bit dull and a tad monotonous.
However, again this is a real exception. The remix is so good it's more like a Frankie Knuckles remix.
Quite simply, it's pure heaven, it really compliments Barney's unique vocals and the piano is just lush (very Frankie Knuckles-esque!!).
It gives the whole track a really beautiful feel.
Absolutely top drawer this one!!

New Order - Regret
(Fire Island Mix)

"Because the night, gives us the chance"!!

Love this one.
Some fantastic vocals and lyrics.
A big thank you to Roberto for tracking this one down.
It's just one of those tracks that you can't help but love.
Cracking vocals, great lyrics, very funky and uplifting, coupled with some great piano.
What more could you possibly want?
"Because tonight, gives us the chance, to be together, like true lovers"
"And when the sun shows it's face, no need to run for cover, you're alive with no other"
Love it!!

Jackie Moore - Because The Night

Are we all ready to "Jam on"?

A big old fave this from back in 1991.
Youl'll know it as soon as you hear it.
"All I know is what the heat is, keep on jammin"
It was one of those tracks played by each and every DJ in those great old days.
Secchi did quite a few other old skool classics, which will be posted in due course.
Meanwhile - "Jam On"!!

The man like, get's it "Together"!!

Evening all, I hope you've had a good week.
Now those of you who visit the blog regularly will not I'm not a great fan of Sasha's production work and although he created a few undoubted belters, the large majority of his studio work was IMHO pretty average.
As a DJ from 1989 to 1991 - I'd say he was probably one of the best (if not THE best), post 92' his    DJ-ing sets were IMHO very dull.
This however, was great little track and one that I loved hearing out in clubs back in 1993.
Great vocals by Danny Campbell, some very choice lyrics - I used to love the lines
"When you're out there dancing, is it my groove you're groovin' to"
"With me next to you, you next to me, just the way we should be"
It's got some great piano as well.
An all round top tune!!
Enjoy!

Humanoid - Stakker Humanoid (Original Mix)

http://www.mediafire.com/?k9yirwztbyq

The acid house tune for me, a real tingler.

From the chaps who went on to form Future Sound of London.
Brilliant when played loud!

Oh why!

dina carroll

"why did i let you go"

phil kelsley dmc remix

taken from a dmc dj only remix 12" this is a superb remix of this diva, this could have been done by morales if you listen to the production on it. quality vocal house

"Can you hear it - release the pressure?"

Another one I used to love back in the day.
This was a huge track at Back To Basics in Leeds in 1992.
It really epitomised the spirit of a lot of the music coming out at that time.
The piano tunes of the old skool days as we knew it were no longer played out and the onset of progressive house and harder edged tracks were very much in vogue.
This was a typical example of one of those tracks and along with tracks likeFunky Guitar and Rhythm de Londres were storming examples of the new music coming through, with that great looping opening!
"Can you hear it, release the pressure".
Geat vocals by Earl Sixteen - to boot, as well!
Leftfield produced some great tracks and more will be posted on the blog in due course.
Enjoy!!

Are we all ready to "Doop"??

Well here's goes risking my credibility and reputation again here, but who cares?
I'm sure you all remember this one.
If I'm not mistaken I think it even got to number 1 in the Charts??
Well, there was a time when this was an absolute cracking club tune.
I remember it going down an absolute storm when played at Vague, everyone just lost it and went crazy when it came on.
Then again there weren't many clubs other than Vague that could have got away with playing this.
Believe me, it was an absolute PCC in it's day, hard to believe now, although in my mind it still sounds great.
Really annoyingly catchy, or just plain daft?? You decide?
If nothing else I'm sure it made you laugh or brought back a few good memories!!
Come on lets "Doop" - I know you want to!!

Doop - Doop

(Sidney Berlin's Ragtime Band Extended Version)

You "don't know what you're missin'"" - if you ain't heard this one!!

A big, big track from 1989.
A real old Hacienda classic.
Very simple, but that piano is just heaven.
The tracks back in those days were so raw, but the quality just shines through.
This is absolutely top drawer.
Again one that you may not know by title, but just wait until you hear (and feel) it.
Immense!!
If you never had the pleasure of going to the Hacienda, then I'm afraid you won't ever know what you were missin', but trust me it was special!!
Enjoy.

Jillian Mendez - Don't Know What You're Missin'
("Sin" Club Dub)

Help me to believe - yes indeed!!!

Now this was a big track back in the day, going all the way back to 1990.
It was an absolute stormer and I'm sure will be one of those tracks, which you may not know by the title, but as soon as you hear you will go  "oh my good what a tune, used to love this one".
It's a really simple track, but oh so effective.
It's always been a big fave of mine.
You may also not be aware that Moby made this track, under one of his alias'. He certainly had a brainstorm when he made this. Lol.
A PCC for sure.
Enjoy!!!

Brainstorm - Help Me To Believe

Shine on people; this one rocks!!

A big shout out to Matt for suggesting some Space Brothers tracks and a few other corkers.
This is one of my favourite Space Brothers tracks and was a huge track hammered by Oakey.
I remember playing it to death on an old Essential Mix tape from 1997.
A top drawer piece of rocking yet melodic trance, with some great vocals from Joanna Law.
"The soul of an angel, touched from above"
"Your spirit is shining, surrounded by love"
Love it. Absolutely top drawer!!

A big shout out to Roberto for tracking this one down for me.
It's been on my "most wanted" list for quite a few months and originally came from a request from somebody.
To be honest I can't remember who requested it, but anyway here it is.
The track is an absolute stormer.
Be patient with it as it takes a while to build, but like most Jimmy Gomez remixes, it is immense and really hits the spot. Enjoy!!

Cheers Roberto - Top Man!!
