Delightful!

A pretty spectacular track from 2004.

Oakey sprinkles his usual magic dust.

The intro is just sublime with the piano and then the guitar, which then both kick in again mid way through.

Pure class!

Carlos Vives - Como Tu 

(Paul Oakenfold More Vocal)

We had such a fine time together!

One of my all time favourite vocalists, just such a fantastic singer.

Her album "And Still I Rise" is one of my all time favourites and I spent many a Sunday chilling out to it in the 90's after a long clubbing session the night before.

Alison is of course most known for the fabulous "Where Love Lives" which although a bonafide club classic, it has been so overplayed that it has now lost some of it's original fizz.

This is a great track which fully emphasises Alison's vocal power accompanied by a great remix from the Oakey/Osborne - Perfecto duo.

We had such a fine time together!

A top notch PCC!

Alison Limerick - Come Back (For Real Love) 

(Perfecto Mix)

One of the all time greatest!

One of the greatest tracks ever produced.

I remember when I was first introduced to it I just played it over and over again as I was just so blown away by it.

Donna (and Giorgio Moroder) were probably more well known for the ground breaking "I Feel Love", but as good as that was this is in my opinion was the real pièce de résistance.

The fact that the track is nearly 18 minutes long, but never at any point do you want it to finish.

It is just an epic, epic monstrous track.

A big thanks to my good friend Ed from over the pond for introducing it to me.

This one's for you Ed!

Donna Summer - MacArthur Park Suite 

(Original Extended Version)

We ain't got no hope!

Another fantastic reworking of a disco classic by the highly prolific Dave Lee (aka Joey Negro).

Dave's work is always amazing, always keeping the essence of the original but just updating and tweaking things to give it a more modern feel, yet keeping enough authenticity from the original to create a new masterpiece.

He is most certainly one of the very best disco/house remixers.

This is a fabulous track with some great lyrics, great vocals and just such a fabulous disco-tastic rhythm, not to mention real instruments.

Disco music perfection.

Eddie Kendricks - Going Up In Smoke 

(Dave Lee fka Joey Negro Big Smoke Mix)

Going back to your (Soul) Roots!

This is hot off the press.

This is a superb reworking of a superb original by "Edward's World" which was a major track for us back in 1994 and was posted on the PCC blog as far back as 2012 (check it out).

It is of course piano-licious from start to finish and this reworking is exactly the same.

Joe Ventura is most certainly one of the best producers/remixers about at the moment and without question "Big Speaker Music" is currently the best label out there.

Pretty much everything they put out is top notch, so check out their stuff.

Hope you enjoy the track, it's a belter and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Joe Ventura - Soul Roots 

(2024 Extended ReSpray)

Feel the inside!

Another amazing track from &ME (one of the Keinemusik guru's) and a mainstay of many of their great sets.

It's just a luscious piece of chilled laid back deep house.

The whole vibe and atmosphere of the track is electric and the vocals are just delightful.

When the "French Kiss" section kicks in it reaches heavenly status.

Feel the inside!

Simply gorgeous!

Röyksopp & Alison Goldfrapp - Impossible 

(&ME Remix) 

Come on, come on in!

Before his TV celebrity and fame, RuPaul had a few pretty decent house tracks.

This was probably the pick of them (although Supermodel was great also) courtesy of a great remix from Eric Kupper which was probably the one most played in clubs.

It sounds a bit dated now, but it always went down well on the dancefloor back in 1993.

RuPaul - House Of Love 

(Eric Kupper 12" Mix)

Because I've nothing else here, for you!

Get your Balearic boots on, this heavenly.

Possibly the slowest track I've ever posted on the PCC blog in view of bpms.

However, the lack in speed is made up by the sheer quality of the track.

Ok, probably not one to drop at the peak of a set, but what about an end of the night track?

Without doubt the best track Spandau ever produced - it always amazes me that it wasn't a bigger hit.

The piano, the vocals, the sax, the harmonies and oh that chorus.

Heavenly!

Enjoy!

Spandau Ballet - I'll Fly For You 

(Extended 80s Multitrack Version) (BodyAlive Remix)

Talking 'bout creation!

I always though Stereo MC's were a bit overhyped at the time.

However, this is a quality remix by JR which creates a top notch house track.

Always been a big fan of JR and he has produced some fantastic tracks and remixes over the years.

A DJ that was there from the start and deserves legend status.

This remix takes all the good bits from the track and houses them up big style.

Just how we like 'em!

Stereo MC's ‎- Creation 

(Justin Robertson Vocal)

Yeah come on!

An old skool classic which I used to loove!

A top track with loads of great little vocal samples and of course some delectable piano.

One of this tracks which just wasn't played enough and hence is IMHO always a bit underrated.

I think it's tops!

"Yeah come on"

The Ya Ya's - Loove 

(Piano House Mix)

Here comes the sun!

 Another track which I can't quite believe I've not posted before.

This was a real classic and the mainstay of many of Oakey's great trance sets back in 1995.

The fact that is still sounds amazing nearly 30 years on is just testimony to it's quality.

There are other remixes of this track,but none caompare with the Oakey/Osbourne classic.

Totally epic!

Virus - Sun 

(Oakenfold/Osborne Mix)

Are you sirius?

 I always loved trance and those halcyon years of 1994 to 2000 were just amazing with some many epic tracks and fantastic producers.

I probably don't post enough trance on the PCC blog, but don't worry I've got literally hundreds cued up to post.

This one was a belter courtesy of an excellent remix by that man Tiesto.

Pure quality trance music from 1999

Subtle By Design - Sirius 

(DJ Tiesto Remix) 

I'm in a spin!

Can't quite believe that I've not posted this before.

It's one of those tracks which I could have sowrn has already been posted.

It's a huge fave of mine, I just love the feel of it and the vocals are just exquisite.

There are non-vocal versions under the title "77 Strings", but that in my opinion is denying you the glory of these amazing vocals and lyrics which are the real essence of this track.

An absolute banger and a huge track for me.

Enjoy!

Kurtis Mantronik Presents Chamonix - How Did You Know

Chubby and chunky!

Used to love this track, it was one of those that used to get played all the time for weeks on end in the clubs back in 1993.

Great little groove with loads of squelchy acid and some sublime piano.

A track that still sounds great today.

Quality house music, just how we like it.

Chubby Chunks - Testament One

No need to be quiet - man!

Absolute banger of a track from 1998.

Man With No Name produced some fine tracks and equally fine remixes.

This is a quality slice of trance heaven.

An all encompassing track which gives you every thing you need.

Get on it!

Quietman - The Sleeper 

(Man With No Name Remix)

Trance heaven!

The Space Brothers and Lange two of the very best trance producers in that golden era of trance in the late 90's.

This is another perfect example of classic trance which has everything which made for such a fantastic and exciting scene.

Gorgeous vocals, thumping trance beats and rhythms, what can I say pure - Heaven!

The Space Brothers - Heaven Will Come 

(Lange Vocal Mix )

Feel there's no escape!

I've been playing this a lot recently also.

Much more on the dance tip, maybe a tad commercial, but very very nice.

Great build up, some great vocals and some excellent piano.

"Torn between love and hate?"

What's not to like?

Daddy Squad - A Habit I Can't Break 

(Reznik & Mikesh Remix)

You bought me some flowers.....

Heard this for the first time the other day and have hardly stopped playing it since.

Totally Balearic but absolutely fantastic.

Very raw and earthy with a great funky little vibe, wonderful lyrics and superb vocals.

I think Lola will be a big star (probably already is).

I'd say a cross between Billy Eilish and Adele?

Superb track which really kicks when the guitars and drums come in.

Top notch!

Get on it!

Lola Young - Conceited 

Can you control your pleasure?

One of the oldest house tracks out there dating back to 1986, but still sounding fabulous.

Not quite as catchy as "Give Me Back The Love" but still pretty tasty all the same.

Some great piano throughout and just a delicious raw house vibe, which almost 40 years later still sounds amazing.

Another timeless classic.

Get on it!

On The House - Pleasure Control 

(Long Version)

Dance to the soothing rhymes!

Love this little old skool belter from 1992.

A real mix of different vibes and samples, but some delicious piano.

A really great and very underplayed, forgotten gem.

Get on it!

Dance to the soothing rhymes!

Temple of Delights & Progression Session 

- Untitled

Together!

This one certainly escaped me the first time around in 2002. 

However, that doesn't surprise me, as I'd lost interest in dance music after the millennium as it just becoming notoriously bland.

Only heard this recently and grew an instant liking to it.

A tad on the commercial side, but very nice all the same.

Some stonking piano and some nice (if rather cheesey) vocals.

Great track - "Let's get together now!"

Chicco Secci & Robbie Rivera - Let's Get Together

(Main Club Mix)

Get down!

The original from 1992 was great, but this remix is just off the scale.

Love the work Joe Ventura does without a doubt one of the best remixers out there at the current moment.

This remix respects the original superbly, but just some extra piano fizz.

Just lovely, "Get Down" indeed!

Enjoy!

Todd Terry presents the Gypsymen - Hear The Music 

(Joe Ventura Remix)

Be good to me!

A straight up house banger from 1995.

Lots of great uplifting piano as typical of Greed's remix work.

Jeanie has some powerful vocals and lets fly.

Nice.

Jeanie Tracy - Do The Right Thing 

(Greed's Euphorik Club Mix)

Sweet indeed!

A beautiful slice of Balearic heaven.

Just such a feel good song, perfect for a hot summer's day.

Roll on the sunshine.

Great lyrics, great harmonies and such a cool and chilled vibe.

Lovely!

James Yuill – This Sweet Love 

(Prins Thomas Sneaky Edit)

DJ's the man we love the most!

Love this track, quality bit of Balearic groove/Indie dance.

Of course it is inspired by the Stones fantastic original.

The chorus and piano on this is heavenly.

Most definitely a hidden gem and a much underplayed classic.

DJ's the man we love the most!

Pure class!

J.B.C. - We Love You 

(The Great Awakening)

Keep those fires - Hot!

A quality groover from 1994.

Some tidy work by Jon Da Silva.

This one was always a winner on the dancefloor.

Enjoy!

Ideal - Hot

Follow the footprints!

I believe these guys have a mention on the site already with "Right Here, Right Now". personally this is my favourite track from Disco Citizens. Originally released in 1996, it got the revamp in 1997 and this remix is fantastic.

A lot of the music i have posted here so far has featured from 1995 to 1997 and probably one of my favourite periods in dance music. every week a track seemed to come out better than the week before!

Anyway Enjoy. leave a comment let me know what you think!

Disco Citizens - Footprint 

(Sonic Original)

Very tangy and tasty!

 Great track from 1992 which was one of the early progressive house track.

This one was on a slower vibe and more Balearic in nature.

Lemon Interupt were of course a pre-cursor which then became Underworld.

To be honest. I prefer the Lemon Interupt stuff more than what they later did as Underworld.

Enjoy!

Lemon Interupt - Eclipse

It's more than alright!

 I can't help hearing this track and thinking Chris and James - Essential Mix set- still the greatest DJ moix set ever (no question). 

This was played just as Tongy voiced over.

It's a class tune and was absolutely bangin' in clubs.

A very typical Chris and James type track which just rocked!

It's better than alright.

It's slammin'!

S.A.I.N. - It's Alright 

(Nostalgia Freaks Remix) 

The spirit is strong!

Back in 1992 everything JR remixed was pure gold, with his famed trumpets.

This was another banger and just so trade mark his style.

Another great track which has retained it vibe and spirit despite being 30 years old.

His DJ sets from around that era were also pretty epic and I remember hearing him a good few times at Back To Basics in Leeds rockin' the gaff!

Enjoy!

Sly & Lovechild - Spirit Of Destiny 

(Justin Robertson Mix)

Keep on believing the dreams inside of you!

 K-Klass were always super consistent with their remixes and whether it was a house remix or a more banging track, they rarely missed the sweet spot.

This is no exception and combines the superb Michelle Weeks vocals with some quality house beats and of course the obligatory K-Klass piano.

A top notch house track from 1997, which still sounds great.

Klass is permanent!

Keep on believing the dreams inside of you!

Michelle Weeks - Don't Give Up 

(K-Klassic 12" Mix)

Do you feel alright?

 Totally love this track from 1988 which still sounds ace today.

Lots of squelchy Roland TB303 and lots of great vocal snippets as well as some quality piano.

A real mish-mash of a track, but much loved and very much a forgotten classic.

We were just Perfectly Ordinary People (having amazing and unforgettable nights).

Rock on!

Perfectly Ordinary People - Theme From P.O.P. 

(Club Re-Mix)

Let go, I can't let go!

Pretty much everything The Delorme touched was special and although this isn't one of their better known tracks, it's still a banger.

No Chris Day involvement in this one, but some quality tinkering from James Wiltshire (aka Jimmy Gomez/Freemasons).

Just a great groove which creates a nice moody house vibe, with sprinkles of piano and of course the unmistakeable sample.

Enjoy!

The Mack Vibe Feat. Jacqueline – I Can't Let You Go

(The Delorme Club Mix)

Epic and then some more!

Just forget how big of a legend Fabi Paras was and the pure excellence of some of the stuff he remixed and produced back in the day.

He really was at the forefront of that early progressive house era back in 1993.

This is one of his finest and is completely off the wall in terms of energy and just sheer explosive power.

This tracks just builds and builds with layers of piano and energy, then just when it peaks it goes on and builds some more, then more.

It is totally epic and although I don't recall being fortunate enough to hear it out in a club you could imagine it blowing the roof off.

Outstanding!

Not For Love - Dance Shooter 

(Fabio Paras Remix)

You're the only one!

Big fan of this track, just a slice of great house music, thanks to a cracking remix.

Just lovely in style, very relaxed but very catchy.

Bimbo Jones does some cracking remixes, with lush piano.

The amazing vocals of Loleatta are stand out also.

Nice job!

Lenny Fontana – Chocolate Sensation 

(Bimbo Jones Good Times Remix)

Oh, we close our eyes!

The genius of Moby has only really hit me in recent years as I've come across more of his amazing tracks.

I'd previously failed to appreciate his outstanding ability to create such unique and effective tracks.

Hence when you get the genius of the Guvnor, Lord Sabre remixing one of his tracks you just know it's going to well, create "The Perfect Life" (at least for 8mins 36 secs).

This is truly a wonderful track.

True Balearic brilliance.

Enjoy the perfect life!

Moby - Another Perfect Life 

(Andrew Weatherall Remix)

Take away my sorrow and this pain!

Love this track from last year 2023.

Just a fantastic track from start to finish, with great vocals, great lyrics and some really solid production.

Great to hear quality dance music still being produced.

You could say it's a touch on the commercial side, but don't let that detract for it's sheer quality and impact.

A really top notch track, which never feels to hit you where it matters.

Enjoy!

Rex The Dog - Change This Pain For Ecstasy 

(Extended Version)

Follow the light!

 Last track on the aforementioned Keinemusik mix set.

This is simply stunning.

Just an awesome piece of emotive piano-tastic dance music.

Another of those tracks which totally captivates you from start to finish.

Just heavenly!

Get on it!

Fahlberg - The Light 

(Original Mix)

Simply blown away!

Now it's very rare that I post mix sets on the PCC blog and there is a very good reason for that.

Mainly that there are many fantastic sites which have an amazing collection of mix sets especially old skool sets etc and hence the PCC blog was always about amazing tracks.

However, there have been a few notable exceptions over the 15 years the PCC blog has been running.

This includes the Chris & James - Essential Mix set from 1994 - it was then and still is the best mix set ever played even 30 years on. Other very notable sets were Oakey's ground-breaking Goa Mix set from 1994 and TWA's Essential Mix also from 1994 which was amazing.

However, recently I came across this mixset from Keinemusik - a collaboration for 3 amazing DJ's, producers and remixers namely Rampa, Adam Port and &ME.

This set totally blew me away. 

I liken it to the moment when Sasha was getting a little bit bored with the scene and then along came BT (Brian Transeau) and totally re-lit his passion and desire with the fantastic music he was creating.

Well this is exactly what Keinemusik has done with me.

The approach, the sounds, the sheer quality and the vibe they create is like nothing I've heard before and the tracks they make are just sheer perfection, which hit you deep.

There music is a mixture of Deep house, afro house and slow melodic trance with this gorgeous laid back chilled vibe and is usually underpinned by some gorgeous and subtle piano - it is simply mind-blowing.

I didn't realise they have been around since 2009 and their music seems to have developed over the years.

I'll be posting much more of their stuff on the PCC blog as so much of it is just truly outstanding.

I hope you enjoy it as much as me.

In the meantime sit back relax and enjoy 2 and a half hours of deep house music perfection.

P.S. The Burning Man event looks pretty good also, (but very different to the good old days!)

Been talking to myself forever!

An absolute monster of a track from those masters of trance Above & Beyond.

They were certainly up there as one of the very best trance remixers/producers.

This is epic, sublime and monstrous all in one go.

Lush vocals, pumping rhythm, pounding beats all crafted together and combined with gorgeous piano breakdowns.

Epic!

Above & Beyond presents OceanLab - On A Good Day 

(Above & Beyond Club Mix)

Leaving me again!

Not heard this for ages and it still sounds fantastic.

A house classic from 1992 with wonderful production from Larry Heard and an equally wonderful remix from Frankie Foncett.

Superb vocals combine with some great sax to give it that jazz vibe.

Classy.

Mr Fingers - Closer 

(Frankie Foncett Dude Mix)

 

How many fingers?

Fond memories of this one from 1994.

It was always one which went down a storm on the dancefloor.

Great nights at Cream hearing this.

Mike - Twangling (3 Fingers In The Box) 

(Club Mix)

For all you beautiful people!

A fantastic house for all you Beautiful People.

Glorious vocals by the fabulous Barbara Tucker and CJ spot on with another sublime remix.

House music heaven from 1994.

Enjoy.

Barbara Tucker - Beautiful People 

(C.J.'s Club Mix)

See the stars, they're shining bright!

Staying on the Depeche theme, possibly not the most dancefloor track, but I reckon dropped at the right time in a set or as an end of night track, it could be lethal.

Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again 

(Split Mix)

One of my all time favourite Depeche tracks and right up there with the best crowd participation track ever.

When I first saw the famous Pasadena Rose Bowl concert in 1989 video of this track I was blown away and it still gives me goosebumps even today when I watch it.

Epic in every sense!

Keep off the floor!

I'm a huge Depeche fan and saw them recently and they were amazing.

Dave Gahan was amazing and produced a stage routine like a man half his age.

DM didn't have many tracks which were really good dancefloor fodder, hence great to post this remix which is top class.

The lyrics are very much about David caught up in the middle of his well publicised drug addiction.

Enjoy.

Word of warning children, stay away from the dirty sticky floors!

Dave Gahan ‎– Dirty Sticky Floors 

(Junkie XL Vocal Remix)

Keep pushing me!

Madonna is unquestionably the Queen of Pop - nobody can contest that.

Her longevity, her chameleon like nature to transform into something totally different and still stay current will never be surpassed.

Many of her early tracks although great pop tracks, were never very dancefloor compatible.

Since then many have been remixed and this is one of the best.

A fantastic piece of work by Tom Moulton which like most good remixes keeps the very essence of the original but just adds those little bits which make it more dance-tastic.

Enjoy!

Madonna - Borderline

(Tom Moulton Mix)

Junior showing his true colors!

There's no doubting that in the late 90's Junior was one of the main jocks on the scene.

His residency at the Twilo club in NYC was legendary and some of his remix work around that time was amazing (there was also quite a lot of dross also, as he was almost too prolific and often chased the dollar).

This is one of the amazing ones. 

Imagine this being mixed in in the throes and a sweaty dancefloor with everyone going for it.

It starts slowly, then builds and takes off, then gets slower and then builds back up and really explodes.

A great remix of a fantastic song.

Enjoy - all 13 mins of it!

Cyndi Lauper - True Colors 

(Junior Vasquez Gay Pride Mix)

Old, but still a goldie!

Quite possibly one of the most overplayed tracks in clubland, but we shouldn't forget how big this was on the dancefloor when it first came out back in 1995.

Everyone and I mean everyone would just go crazy when it came on.

It really was a fantastic track.

Of course since then it has been hugely overplayed, sampled, pillaged remixed etc.

Despite all this, it still brings a smile to my face and reminds me of so many great nights out clubbing hearing it.

Gusto - Disco's Revenge 

(Mole Hole Dirty Mix)

Totally adore this!

Love this a big return to form from Bob Sinclair from 2023.

Beautifully chilled with some amazing piano tinged throughout, a really great track.

I heard it from a Keinemusik set and I have to say the music that Rampa, Adam Port, &me are creating is some of the best new music out there.

Their DJ sets are epic and a fantastic blend of African beats and melodic chilled house. Their best tracks usually contain some beautiful piano chords which just "put you in another place".

If you've not heard their stuff then check it out, there's loads on YouTube and to be honest it's blown me away recently and re-established my faith that there is lots of great new dance music being created in amongst all the absolute tosh EDM.

I'll post lots of similar tracks on the PCC blog in coming months, because many of them are epic.

Of course there will still be many of the old renown PCC's from yesteryear also posted.

Keep checking in!

Bob Sinclar - Adore 

(Extended Mix)

Here I come!

This was huge back in '94 and was especially widely played by the likes of JoPW and TWA.

There's not too much of Loleatta's actually singing, it just vocal snippets and samples, but it was very catchy and very much part of that "Glammer House" type era.

It always went down very well on the dancefloor in the likes of Cream, Back To Basics, Vague etc.

"Do you want me to come downstairs with rollers in my hair!

Get on it!

Loleatta Holloway - The Queens Anthem

(Cummin' In My Rollers Mix)
