Am I in heaven? I think so!

One of my favourite tracks of recent times. 

I came across it about 12 months on a LuvDup mix set (thanks Adrian - you are a ledge!), hunted it down and have played it so many many times since. 

It has everything I need; emotion, fantastic female vocals, delightful piano, lots of key changes, tempo changes and then that delightful skippy little banjo riff, in essence simply awesome.

Great remix by Ray Mang who is one of the best about nowadays!

Quite simply one of the finest tracks of recent years, no question!

Mari - Free 

(Ray Mang's Extended Version)

"Party People" - Yeah indeed!

 A proper old skool track this one.

Very fond memories of Carl Cox ripping the club apart when he dropped this at the Breakfast Club in Leeds.

Just such a huge and gripping track.

Possibly a bit heavy for some tastes, but boy did this rock.

A great piece of classic techno from 1993 (before techno got a bad name for itself).

This track will never date.

"Party People" - Yeah indeed!

Problem House - Vol. II - Party People

Why Go? Well you've just gotta!

 You've got to hand it to the Boy (George), he's had one hell of a career.

Pop Star, Club DJ and maker of some many fabulous tracks and remixes.

Talk about staying power.

This is pretty epic as you'd imagine from the combination.

Just a sensational track from 1999.

Faithless feat. Boy George - Why Go? 

(Ferry Corsten Remix) 

Pure genius!

 Although there are many remixes of these including some good ones by Rollo, Ferry Corsten and ATB, none of them IMHO quite capture the emotion and beauty of this original version.

Moby is true genius and has produced some real ground breaking tracks.

This is right up there with his good.

From that very first piano chord, you're in heaven.

Just lush!

Moby - Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad? 

(Original Version)

It's all, it's all, it's all over!

 Another quality old skool classic.

This one dates back to 1989 and was pretty unique at the time as one of the first tracks to have break beats in it, that would become very popular in the early 90s.

Some quality piano sprinkled in now and again, give it that "hands in the air" touch.

The old skool hip-house rap just adds further to the track's appeal.

Jazz & The Brothers Grimm feat. Baby D - Casanova 

(Original Raising Hell Remix)

I would soar like a dove in the sky!

Grace were Oakey and Osbourne's sensational band fronted by lead singer Dominique Atkins.

They produced some absolute gems and this is one of them.

The fierce production combined with Dominique's gorgeous vocals were just heaven in the mid 90's.

Shame that they didn't produce more material, but Oakey was usually too busy with his hectic DJ schedule.

Still good while it lasted!

Enjoy!

Grace - If I Could Fly 

(Oakenfold and Osborne Trance Mix)

Reach for the Elevator!

Love this track from 1996 and yet another fantastic remix by Biff and Memphis, who were mighty fine remixers.

It starts off slow and dreamy but is nothing but endearing.

It then builds into a true epic, with some quality piano.

It has a very Saint Etienne, World of Twist vibe, just lovely.

Enjoy!

Dubstar - Elevator Song 

(Biff and Memphis Club Mix)

Oh we felt it (the music that is)!

 This was the other side to the amazing "Dance with Me" which was a huge Northern classic.

This one isn't quite as monstrous, but it is still a more than nifty slice of old skool.

Laden with some great piano throughout.

A cracking little tune, that should have been bigger!

Control - Feel The Music (Music Is The Drug) 

(Feel A 12' Mix)

I know you're going to want me!

 Surprised that I haven't posted this before now.

This was always a big track back in 1991 and was a regularly a part of Sasha's set.

Great vocals, piano to die for, just a good track which was the epitome of that era.

Enjoy!

Bowa - Different Story 

(Original Mix)

If you're not gonna give me!

 More classic house music.

This ones from 1993.

Great piano throughout.

Top Notch!

Andrea Mendez - Real Love

(Flip Mix)

Whatca Gonna Do - just dance!

 Did Inner City ever produce a duff track?

Not in my opinion.

This is another classic, courtesy of a fantastic remix by the two house legends that are Frankie and Morales.

Just a fantastic piece of classic house music from 1989.

Enjoy!

Inner City - Whatcha Gonna Do With My Loving 

(Knuckles / Morales Def Mix) (Fist fusion)

Hot - you bet!

 A great pianotastic remix by the Cotton Club who did some great tracks back in the day.

This ones from 1995.

It's hot!

Majick Village - Hot 

(The Cotton Club's Piano Affair)

Sheer quality!

Absolute classic track with that classic F.S.O.L magic.

I was never a big fan of Prefab Sprout although they were quite big in the 80's.

This remix is sensational though and has you encapsulated from start to finish.

Top class.

The Future Sound of Prefab - If You Don't Love Me 

(F.S.O.L. Deep Field Mix)

Come on! Yaaaaah!

Hard to forget just what a monstrous track this was on the dancefloor.

It was like a pneumatic drill, pounding away blowing the dancefloor to bits.

A huge Sasha fave and a big part of his sets in the early 90s.

Still sounds amazing today.

Simple, hypnotic and just immense!

 D-Shake - Techno Trance 

(Paradise is Now)

Feel the wave of Euphoria!

Some fantastic tracks came out on the Guerilla label in the early 90s and this was definitely one of them.

Deep, dark and dangerous.

This captures that typical Guerilla progressive house sound.

Euphoria - Mercurial 

(Euphoria V's Ernie & Bert Travelling At The Speed Of Light Mix)

There's something inside you!

As per usual a fantastic remix by the Freemasons.

I think I've evangelised enough on the PCC blog about the talents of Mr James Wiltshire.

This track is superb with some lovely powerful vocals.

"There's something inside you!"

London Grammar - Nightcall 

(Freemasons Pegasus Club Mix)
 

Music is my life??? Maybe!

 A high octane old skool belter from 1993.

A tad cheesy, but always got a great response on the dancefloor.

Great energy!

Chase - Music Is My Life 

(Original Mix)

Feel the inspiration!

 A delightful old skool classic.

Capturing cool vocals, with great piano and a seriously catchy vibe.

This track rides, the Italian House, Balearic, Old Skool vibe all in one go.

A great track which certainly captures the spirit of the scent in the early 90's.

Enjoy!

Alfredo - Inspiration 

(Pacha Vocal Mix)

It's just the sun rising, it's shining!

The Beloved were one of my fave dance acts.

Jon Marsh's vocals were just on another level and of course they were heavily involved in the whole Acid House scene.

This is one of their most famous tracks, but with a great remix by the main man Danny R.

Danny for me didn't get into the studio enough, as most of his remixes were class and just hit the spot.

In a nutshell "class!"

The Beloved - The Sun Rising 

(Danny's Love Is Mix)

Are you a Sungod?

Fantastic trance track which totally encapsulates you from beginning to end.

Not one of the better known trance tracks which is surprising due to it's quality.

This is very typical of the Goa trance era back in the late 90's.

The piano in this when it kicks in is sublime.

Enjoy!

Sungod - Ancient Forest 

(Yantra Mix)

God bless the world!

Inner City were one of the few dance groups who  made high quality tracks on a consistent basis.

The genius of Kevin Saunderson and the fantastic vocals of Paris Grey were a combination only matched by the likes of M-People.

Here's another great track from Inner City.

Not there best known, but still top notch.

Inner City - Praise 

(Reese Re-Spiritual Mix)

There must be music, come on, come on!

Totally epic track, that I must admit I missed when it first came out in 1995.

I can't understand why it wasn't played more as it is truly epic.

Glad I discovered it though as it is a true PCC.

It takes you on a journey from first minute to last touch with some lovely subtle piano.

"There must be music, come on, come on!"

A superb track!

Enjoy!

Justin Garrett - There Must Be Music 

(Emissary Remix)

Say it yo!

Quality remix's of fantastic old disco track.

The original came out in 1983 and the acapella is fabulous and very much used and sampled.

These are 2 great remixes with some luscious piano.

I'm not a big fan of the male vocals, but the rest of the track is on it.

Sure Is Pure were one of the top remixers in the early-mid 90's and were very prolific.

The Disco Brothers were also excellent remixers and also created some great dancefloor anthems.

I'm not sure which remix I prefer as they are both great.

Enjoy!

Sinnamon - I Need You Now 

(Sure Is Pure Mastermix)

Sinnamon - I Need You Now 

(Disco Brothers 12" Remix)

Taste the experience!

Surprised I haven't posted this one until now.

This was a huge Oakey track and a mainstay of many of his mix sets in the late 90s.

Beautiful chilled trance, that never dips and always keeps you fully engaged.

The operatic vocals are heavenly,

Pure class!

Tastexperience - Summersault 

(Original Mix)

How do I feel this good sober?

 Great track and great remix.

P!nk has proved to be one of the most talented of her generation and her longevity is testament to this.

Some of her tracks have had superb remixes.

This is one of them.

It captures P!ink's bad-ass attitude and adds the essential dancefloor elements.

Quality from Bimbo Jones, yet again!

P!nk - Sober 

(Bimbo Jones Club Mix)

Here's where you kiss me!

Another corking track by Dina Carroll.

She was a great vocalist and great at belting those anthems out.

This isn't quite in the class of "Ain't No Man", but is nonetheless a fine track.

Enjoy!

Dina Carroll - Here 

(West End Mix)

Pay attention Little Sister!

Huge house classic from 1994 and another big Hacienda favourite.

It's got some great piano and lush vocals and yet another fine remix by K-Klass.

Still sounds great all these years on.

Great track!

Remember, "Better listen to your Mama!"

Enjoy!

Carleen Anderson - Mama Said 

(K-Klassic Mix)

Make me feel good!

Quality house track from 1991 and an old Hacienda favourite.

Great vocals, great piano, great house vibe.

"Make me feel good". 

Yes indeed!

Anambi - Our Love Climbs Higher 

(Extended Mix)

Don't have a hope for you right now!

Totally love this track.

Jonathan Peters created some sensational remixes and very much in line with that Sound Factory style lead by Junior Vasquez.

Those guys were rocking it in the US when the scene in the UK had become a little jaded and uncreative.

They had a great habit of turning naff pop songs into dancefloor epics.

Just like this one!

Enjoy!

Jessica Folker - To Be Able To Love 

(Jonathan Peters Club Mix)

Feel good - most certainly!

 Another absolutely stonking track from The Delorme.

You can very much feel the Chris Day influence in this.

It has his classic touch mixing in a bit of Balearic guitar with some amazing piano breakdowns.

His tracks and remixes were always absolutely on the button.

Most certainly, one of the great remixers of our generation as all his work still sounds amazing and stands the test of time.

Also one of the most unsung heroes of our time. DJ and Remix legend!!

P.S. Worth noting that James Wiltshire (aka Jimmy Gomez/Freemasons), also engineered on this track.

The Delorme - Feel This Way 

(Club For Life Mix)

I won't take second place!

I've always been a huge fan of all things Diana.

Her vocals are second to none and her longevity is testament to her supreme talent.

Her vocals on this are stunning!

Totally love this remix.

"I won't take second place"

Top Notch.

Enjoy!

Diana Ross - No One Gets The Prize  

(AC Re-Edit)

Reject all the values of society!

Absolutely fantastic remix by Biff N' Memphis.

Probably not the sort of track you'd play in front of your Mum and Dad, but what a track!

(You have been warned!!)

Completely different to the E-Smooth remix of the same track which is more of a house classic.

This is pumping, pounding, stomping epic monster of a track.

Reject all the values of society!

Jimmy Somerville - Heartbeat 

(Heartbeat II Mix)

I despair, I despair?

Huge track hammered by Oakey back in 1997.

Used to love this one and still do.

I used to think it said "I despair" until I found out the title of the track!

Trance music at it's very best.

Timeless classic.

Groovezone - Eisbaer 

(Extended Mix) 

Big in your town?

 I loved Deacon Blue, they had some great pop hits.

They were however, not really dancefloor fodder.

This is a great remix though from Oakey and Osbourne.

Quality track from 1992, progressive and pounding!

Get on it!

Deacon Blue - Your Town 

(Perfecto Mix)

She going to take everything I own!

Superb remix from Freemasons and of course delightful vocals from the delightful Beyonce!

The Freemasons produced some brilliant tracks and remixes and this is right up there with the best of them.

Top notch.

Beyoncé - Ring the Alarm 

(Freemasons Club Mix)

We've got to move this beat going on!

 Superb track and a huge Hac anthem hammered by Mr Park.

Great vocals, great house groove and superb piano and great remix from Stonebridge.

Top class from start to finish.

We've got to move this beat going on!

In fact I can't believe that I've not posted this until now.

Top track.

Subterrania feat. Ann Consuelo - Do It For Love 

(Stone's Essential Club Mix)

Come to the Holy Land!

Huge trance track from 1997.

Hammered by Oakey back int' day!

Still sounds great and so much better than the so call Trance which is churned out nowadays.

The Nomads ‎- The Holy Land Spirit 

(Club mix)

No matter what you say!

While "The Corporation Express Dub Mix" of this track was the one which was the most explosive in clubs, this version was still great.

Much poppier and commercial but still very catchy and endearing.

Still sounds great!

Enjoy!

The Flavour - 'No Matter What U Do (I'm Gonna Get With U) 

(The Tesko Development Vocal Mix)

I wanna be free!

Staying on the quality house music vibe, here's another.

Superb Steve Silk remix as per usual.

He always uses piano so well in all his remixes.

I wanna be free!

The Party - Free 

(Hurley's 12  Without Rap)

You're the only woman that I'm dreaming of!

Top track from 1989.

Great C&C remix.

Quality house music.

Timeless!

The Brat Pack ‎– You're The Only Woman 

(The Cole:Clivilles Club Mix)

Sometimes I feel like I'm going to explode!

Just adore this track.  

One that was amazing on the dancefloor and would certainly put you in another place.

Lush piano and delightful ethereal vocals.

"Sometimes I feel like I'm going to explode!"

"Can't you feel what I feel?"

A biggie with Sasha back in '91.

A definite PCC.

The Formula - Exploded 

(Original Mix)

Come into the Blue Room!

Fantastic track as per usual from T-empo.

They were always on the button with their productions and remixes.

This is slightly more trancey and progressive than their usual style and more akin to Way Out West.

A great track though, that takes you on a very nice chilled trance journey.

Love it when the piano kicks in - another level.

Enjoy!

T-empo - The Blue Room 

(Original Mix)

I want your love!

 

Can't quite believe that I haven't posted this until now.

This is one of the true house classics.

Totally timeless.

From 1988 but still sounding amazing.

"I want your love, I need your love!"

A true PCC!

Dionne - Come Get My Lovin' 

(NYC Mix)

Fiddle away!

Love Kinky Roland's work.

He's done some cracking remixes and made some great tracks.

Definitely doesn't get the acclaim that his work deserves.

This is a cracker - just wait for those fiddles, you could be in Ireland for a moment!

Ezee Posse - Deliverance 

(Kinky Roland Fiddled with Me Mix)

This'll put a smile on your face!

 Another epic remix by T-empo.

They really did some great "knob twiddling" back in the days and created many, many epic remixes, several of which appear on the blog and several more still to post.

Beautiful piano runs throughout this one and it builds, bends and curves.

It'll certainly put a smile on your face!

"Keep On Smiling!"

Black Masses - You Put a Smile On My Face 

(T-empo mix)

No more wasting all my time!

Just a great skippy little old skool classic from 1992.

Full of energy and always brings a smile to your face.

"Well every time it laughs in my face"

It does sound a little dated, but still very good.

B.F.I. - Why Not Jazz

(Summer Version)

I can feel it!!

Another big progressive house track from back int'day on Guerilla records, which was probably the hottest label around at that period.

This is a lush progressive journey of a track.

"I can feel it!"

Of course you can!

Dr Atomic - Schudelfloss 

(High On Hedonisim Mix)

Body, Body!

Proper progressive house from 1992.

Stick with it, it builds and then explodes with some lush piano.

Brings back some great memories of Back 2 Basics in Leeds downstairs in the Music Factory.

Good old days!

Acorn Arts II - Body 

(Zoom Snakecharmer Mix)

Balearic Bliss - Early Dream Music!

Love this track from 1993, just so smooth and slick.

It's like Dream Music years ahead of Robert Miles type tracks.

It's like being wrapped in a cocoon of Balearic bliss.

Heavenly!

I can never decide which is the best mix, so I've posted them both. 

The Guerillas mix is a touch more upbeat and lively.

Both are quality.

Enoy!

Bora Bora - Love Song 

(Supreme Trance Mix)

Bora Bora - Love Song 

(Guerrillas Mix)

Something a bit different?

 Love this track.

Such a beautiful chill out Balearic track.

Think Orbital - Belfast and you are not far off.

Lush!

Bleep Booster - Genki 

(Technology Remix)
