A bit of a monster!!

Wasn't that a old Tongy phrase "it's a bit of a monster?"
Well this track certainly is.
It was a mainstay of many of Oakey's sets when he was in his pomp in the late 90's.
It is an awesome, spellbinding track that used to shake you to the bottom of your boots.
Trance had never been so good.
Almost perfection!!

The Sneaker - Scatterbomb
(String Mix)

Can I Touch You There???

Never thought I'd have Michael Bolton on the PCC blog, but stick with me it's a corker.
Very much thanks to a superb remix by the legend Frankie K.
A top house music track with some delightful piano.
Love it!!
Can I touch you there? Bit forward innit??

Michael Bolton - Can I Touch You There
(Classic Club Mix)

It's a cold world!!

Now, as followers of the blog will know I'm not a big fan of male vocalists, however Jamie Principle is a big exception, he has a stunningly haunting vocal talent, that just gets you right there!
Some of the tracks and music he put out in the early days of house were outstanding and so good they have totally stood the test of time and still sound great today.
This one is now 25 years old and it still sounds brilliant.
Big respect to Steve "Silk" also for a cracking track, but it's Jamie's vocals that make it.

Steve "Silk" Hurley featuring Jamie Principle - 
Cold World (Extended Mix)

Apologies, apologies!!

Sincere apologies for denying you the pleasure of not posting this one sooner.
This is an absolute corker of a track and completely sums up why Chris & James were my all time fave DJ's and one of my fave remixers.
Everything about this track is just top notch and IMHO it just epitomises the C&J style.
Banging piano, big build ups, huge breakdowns, great samples, it's got everything.
Totally, totally love it.
Big up fella's!!

Chris & James - Shakermaker

Get ready for the Master Blaster!!

This was a big old fave back int'day.
This Matthew Roberts (aka Bottom Dollar) remix makes it even better.
Top drawer track!!
Love the piano!

Gongo - Master Blaster
(Matthew's Master Mix)

This'll take you to Parra Dice

Sometimes tracks are just so good that they warrant posting twice.
This is one such track, I had a recent request to re-up, so here it is.
Quite simply one of the greatest "hands in the air" piano choons of all time and featuring pretty high on the PCC list of all time faves. The track has everything, a pumping rhythm, amazing piano, great vocals, it's just tops!!
Enjoy!! (And if you don't like this track, then get off my blog - because this is what we're about!!)

Parra Dice - Can You Hear Me

This one's.. Just for you!!

What a combination the fantastic M-People, the wonderful vocals of Ms. Small and the delightful remixing skills of the legend that is Mr Frankie Knuckles.
A match made in heaven.
Top, top, soulful house music.

M-People - Just For You
(Knuckles Classic Gospel Mix)

S Club on PCC blog shocker!!

I know I post a touch of cheese now an again and usually (justifiably) get a bit of stick for it.
Well there could be some more for this one.
However, I'll defend it as this is a cracking remix.
Very reminiscent of his Xanadu remix, this is tops!!
Steve Anderson is a musical genius - pure and simple and will always be one of my all time fave remixers.
Top man, top track.
Enjoy!! (or not??)

S Club 7 - Reach
(Steve Anderson Remix)

Feeling great!!!

Staying on the Oxy vibe!! I couldn't resist it.
I know it's been posted on the blog before, but the file was deleted by mediafire, so here's a new upload, you lucky people.
This was simply a monstrous "hands in the air" tune back int' day.
It was certainly a track which had us "feeling great".
Love the lines;
"You've got just what it takes, you make me feel wanted , you make me feel great"
"You've got just what it takes, you make me feel wanted on a cloudy day"
"You've got just what it takes, you make me feel wanted , you make me feel great"
"You've got just what it takes, you make me feel happy on a cloudy day"
Love this big time and still do.
Even the dodgy techno/cheese bit halfway through doesn't spoil a belting track.

Oxy - The Feeling
(Vocal Version)

Another rock to the beat!!

Now you'll never beat the Reese classic version of this track (Mike Hitman Wilson remix), which is one of my fave tracks and a true house music bona fide classic (previously posted on the PCC blog), but this nonetheless is an excellent reworking.
I love the audience participation vibe which creates a great atmosphere.
All in all a great working of a house classic, but the Reese version will never be topped.
Enjoy!!

Oxy - Rock To The Beat
(Audience Vocal Mix)

Dream time... oh yeah!!

Dream time indeed.

About the music - two great remixes of a stunning laid back trance classic.

A massive Oakey track back int' day.

The Quiver remix was probably the most widely known and widely played.

Top class chilled trance.

Zee - Dreamtime

(Quivver Vocal Mix) 

Zee - Dreamtime
(Shaker's Full Vocal Mix) 

Just a little more time...I'll wait!!

Everything E-Smoove remixes is pure gold.
This was huge track in clubs back in the early 90's.
Fond memories of Mr Park dropping this at the Hac!!
Taylor Dayne had a superb unique vocal.
Cracking!!

If you really want to indulge yourself then check out the New Anthem Mix, almost 15 minutes of E-Smoove magic!

Indulge and enjoy!

Taylor Dayne - I'll Wait
(E-Smoove Anthem Vocal Mix)

Taylor Dayne - I'll Wait

(New Anthem Mix)

So good, it's posted twice!!

Now there are not many tracks which get posted twice on the PCC blog.
However, this track stakes great claims for two reasons;
1) It's a top, top old skool piano anthem
2) It was actually released under two different titles.
Originally released under this moniker, it was also released called "Perfect Love" (as previously posted on the blog).
Two titles - one corking track!!!
This was a huge "hands in the air" track back int' day.
"We are so in love"!! (with this track!!)

DJ Pierre Feroldi featuring Linda Ray - Movin' Now
(Extended Mix)

Perry good indeed!!

Great remix by Freemasons!!

James Wiltshire is one of the finest remixers ever without question!!

The Freemasons stuff is never quite as good as his remixes under the Jimmy Gomez moniker, but this is still a very fierce remix.

Love the bit when the piano kicks in!

Top stuff!!

"Look at me I'm sparkling"

Katy Perry - Part Of Me

(Freemasons Club Mix)

Silence in the house!!

A beautiful chilled piece of laid back house.
It sounds a little East 17-Boy Band-ish, but nonetheless it is a top track.
I love the smooth chilled undertones which it creates.
It's a very Balearic vibe.
Enjoy!!

Bad Boys Blue - The House Of Silence
(12" Mix)

Can I get, can I get, get, can I get, get!!

Totally love this track.
You just can't beat a steel drum, it just brings out that sunshine happiness feel.
A lovely laid back track, perfect for Summer - we can only wait in anticipation!!
"Can I get, can I get, get, can I get, get!!"
Yes, you can!!!

Tensnake - Coma Cat

Oops sorry 'bout this one!!!

Every now and then I like to shock you (disappoint you) with a piece of absolute cheese!!
Well, I've well and truly blown my cred here!
It's almost bubble gum pop, but at the same time very infectious and just gets the PCC nod of approval.
Apologies in advance (but I like it anyway!!).
Enjoy!! (or not??)

Sarina Paris - Just About Enough
(Extended Version)

Back to bangin'!!

Ok after that beautiful bit of laid back ambience in the last post, we are back to what we know and love.
Another big old skool favourite.
Nothing fancy about this one, just a piano driven stomper.
Get on it!!!

Infretta - Something About The Music
(Original Mix)

Feel the Mushrooms!!

Quality dance music doesn't always need to be banging!!
Totally love this track, beautiful ambience.
Just right for the mushrooms!!!
You know the score!!

Infected Mushroom - Elation Station

Now give me all your love!!!

God, I forgot how good this track is.
I absolutely used to to love this on back int' day.
An absolutely top notcher Italian piano screamer.
This just epitomises the spirit of those piano tracks back in '91.
Those days will never be forgotten!!
Love it!!

Mimmo Mix featuring Valerie Etienne 
- All Your Love
(Club Mix)

Gotta be number 1!!

One of the greatest vocalist of our lifetime, the magnificent Loleatta Holloway. R.I.P.
Totally love this track, all those Salsoul classics were brilliant, but this is one of my faves.
"Gotta be number 1"
Love the "huh hoo" bits like at 30 secs in. Divine!!
Classics, just check the vocals as well.
Amazing remix by Walter Gibbons also.

Loleatta Holloway - Hit And Run 
(Walter Gibbons Mix)

That's just the way it is!!!

Quality house music once again.
Anything that E-Smoove remixes is always pure magic.
Lisa Moorish was a superb vocalist I've always loved the tone of her vocals.
All in all a top piano laden house belter.
Rock on!!!
"That's just the way it is!"

Lisa Moorish - Just The Way It Is
(E-Smoove Mix)

All be, all because of me!!

Top top drawer house music.
Great vocals, great rhythm, great piano - what more do you need.
Exceptional E-Smoove remix as per usual.
Love the bit at the end when it changes tempo and speeds up!!
Classic house music!!

Georgie Porgie - All Because Of Me
(E-Smoove Mix)

Shine like a star!

A top track this one, which was a big Vertigo track.
Vertigo was a top DJ and bridged the gap perfectly when the rave-house scene split.
He was one of the very few DJs that stuck to the vibe of playing proper old skool piano tracks, like the ones we used to love back in '91.
This is a proper tinkly little piano number with a cracking vibe to it.

Varied Lily - Star
(Piano Emphasis Mix)

I'm the one the only one!!

Yes, it's all about me. Lol.
Here's a massive, massive track for me old mate Velvetpants.
We started our blogs at a similar time way back.
Mr Velvetpants can be found every Sunday on http://www.reelhousefm.com/ 2-4pm or d/l the free app for smart phones.
So make sure you check him out, as I guarantee he'll be playing some top tunes and probably a few PCC gems chucked in there for good measure.
Enjoy the track fella!!
About the track, well it's an awesome remix by Paul Gotel and I mean massive - check it out, you'll know what I mean!!

Eternal - I Wanna Be The Only One
(PG's Dark Skies Mix)

An epic of humongous proportions!!

I can't believe I've not posted this track until now.
It totally epitomises the Goa Trance sound which Oakey created in the mid/late 90's and was a key feature of his legendary Goa Mix.
This caused serious dancefloor devastation when dropped.
Cracking remix by Man With No Name - he was certainly on it back then.
Just massive in every instance.
Enjoy!!

Marmion - Schöneberg
(Man With No Name Remix)

Utilise the power within!!

This track is many things, but one of the things it certainly isn't is boring.
Yeah, it's a tad cheesy at times, but pumping, exciting, anthemic and mental at others.
It was a biggie when dropped out and always got a big response.
I'm on it!!
Can you feel it??

Liquid Crystal - The Power Within
(Remix)

Coming on strong, oh yeah!!

Used to love this track and still do.
Beautiful laid back house music with lush chilled vocals.
Feel released!
Perfect!!

Alabama 3 - I Shall Be Released
(Vocal Mix)

How to say goodbye!!

A cracking track this one, very diverse.
It contains a bit of everything, but it still remains a bloody corking track.
It'd still sound great dropped in a club today, that heavy synth breakdown is just tops.
You know it!!

Jimmy Somerville feat. June Miles Kingston - 

Comment Te Dire Adieu
(Mix Commercial)

Happy New Year to you all!!

I've posted this many times before, quite simply because it is the greatest dance track ever made, bar none.
It was always huge on New Years Eve and if there are any budding DJ's out there wondering what to play tonight as your "Killer Midnight tune" then look no further.
I never tire of hearing this, it is truly immense.
Whatever you are doing tonight have a good one and here's wishing you a great New Year.
All the best from PCC!!

Digitalis - Accepting and Giving

Happy Christmas 2013!!

Happy Christmas to one and all.

Here's giving you a little Christmas present. 

One of my all time favourite tracks which I never thought could be remixed anywhere near as good as the original.

There have been loads of attempts to remix this track, many of them awful.

This one though is delicious.

Enjoy to the max and have a great Christmas!!

And remember 

"Cause we are going to be, forever you and me"

"You will always keep me flying high in the sky, love"

Lighthouse Family - High

(Inner City Mix)

Waiting for tonight - yes indeedy!!

Quite probably the best track J-Lo ever produced given a fantastic re-working here.
This used to get hammered by Oakey back int'day in 1999.
Top Class -Ms. Lopez isn't too bad either!!

Great remix, great track, all from the delectable uber talented Ms. Lopez!

Jennifer Lopez - Waiting For Tonight
(Hex's Momentous Club Mix)

Hands in the air people!!

Love this track.
Massive piano tune, which takes you through many pace changes.
Starts off with some great dinky piano and then ramps up to a real piano "hands in the air" stomper and then drops back into mellow mode.
Tops!!!

Hyena featuring Ricky Trauma
- I've Got To Dance
