I know you will!

A quality house track from 1999 with a corking David Morales remix.

Great vocals, great groove and great piano.

What more could you want?

Charlotte - Someday 

(David Morales Extended Mix)

Girl I'll house you!

 Fantastic deep house remix by Mr Morales with some great piano.

A deep throbbing groove with very little Brother Beyond, just lots of great piano and some good sax thrown in also.

House music doesn't have to be complex to hit the spot and this one certainly does.

Girl I'll house you!

Brother Beyond ‎– The Girl I Used To Know 

(Red Zone Mix)

Are you tired of your life?

 Quite surprised I've not posted this before as it was a huge track back in 1992.

It was like one of the first mash ups (before there were mash ups) combining Bizarre Inc's - Playing With Knives, with Blue Pearl's - Naked In The Rain, which were in themselves both big tracks.

This always went down a storm and never failed to lift the roof.

Are you tired of your life? Why don't you change it?

Great memories of great times!

Blue Pearl - (Can You) Feel The Passion 

(Zen Mix)

We made it!

Another great track which I first heard on Parky's radio show a few months back and I'd finally managed to track down.

This is a superb piece of house music thanks to a great remix.

Any track which has piano from the outset usually grabs my attention and this just further complements some great vocals and some excellent production.

Just an all round great groove which creates such a postive and upbeat vibe.

Annie & The Caldwells – I Made It 

(A Musclecars Production)

Every single night!

 Enjoying this at the moment which has been out a few months but is relatively new.

A touch commercial for my tastes but with enough dancefloor credibility thanks to another smashing PDM remix.

PDM is just both so prolific and always very much on point, maybe slightly overground for some of the house purists, but for me always creates dancefloor music which hits the sweet spot.

The co-labs on this tracks work really effectively with all the different elements combining really well to keep you fully entertained throughout.

Get on it!

Lisa feat. Doja Cat & Raye - Born Again 

(Purple Disco Machine Remix)

My friends say I'm lucky!

This is new and pretty tasty and has been getting plenty of air play by the legend that is Mr Park.

It starts off as a Ru Paul type voice over under a throbbing bassline and then the vocal kicks in and it starts to gain momentum, then it builds further and the piano kicks in and it really starts to take off.

It then rocks throughout and no doubt will be huge in clubs and especially Ibiza.

You heard it hear first (well actually you didn't hats off to Parky!).

Enjoy!

Juiceppe - If I Had A Choice

Oh yeah, oh yeah!

Yet another barnstorming remix by Pete Bones.

That guy simpl,y doesn't do timid remixes, they are always of epic proportions.

This one vibes and fizzles gradually building to the piano explosion that you know is going to come.

Progressive house at it's very finest here.

Oh yeah, oh yeah!

Fade - All I Got 

(Pete Bones Shaker Remix)

And I want you!

Another piece of quality from our Aussie friend Sgt Andy.

Just tinkling and tweaking an already stunning piece of pop music.

Annie's voice is just so heavenly and Dave's music arrangements and production was always close to perfection.

Eurythmics - Love Is A Stranger 

(Sgt Slick's Melbourne ReCut)

Free for you and me!

Yet another sensational TE remix.

This one from 1998 creates another epic track.

Great vocals (as always) from Sarah Washington who was a real talent.

My love for all things TE never waivers and this is very much reason why.

Joy is free, free for you and me!

Dive feat. Sarah Washington - Joy is Free 

(Trouser Enthusiasts Broken Circle Mix)

Come on!

 Many house purists marvel at the genius of "Little" Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez under their Masters at Work guise.

For me they've never really appealed and for one main reason, most notably the distinct lack of piano in most of their production and remix work, which tends to leave it dull and uninspiring for me.

This one is an exception and the added piano alongside their great house production with Mick's distinctive vocals creates a really quality piece of house music.

Does it thrill me, not quite but it is very good and certainly a PCC!

Simply Red - Thrill Me 

(The Masters At Work House Mix)

Dance; a little closer!

Classy bit of solid goal disco.

You can be pretty sure that anything Dave touches is a stamp of quality.

The beauty of the instruments and production of disco tracks still beats anything that's produced today and that's why everyone just pilfer samples and very rarely create anything new and unique.

The original of this track dates back to 1978 and it's hard to believe that nearly 50 years on most dance music production (and the distinct lack of originality) is miles away from those lofty heights.

Enjoy the pure gold!

Saturday Night Band - Come On Dance, Dance 

(Dave Lee Disco Mix)

Blowing my mind!

This is brand new and one I heard on Parky's fantastic radio show recently.

From start to finish this piano driven groover has you bopping along nodding your head and just itching to get those feet moving.

This will be massive in clubs and could well be a big track in Ibiza this year.

As funky as hell.

Vibe on!

Elado - Funk Machine

Ok, why not, one more try!

 Another fantastic track from Reznik & Mikesh and the Keinemusik stable.

This one is a couple of years old, but is totally stunning.

The track is vibing along nicely, but then just wait for the epic piano drop, truly beautiful.

Those Keinemusik guys have completely elevated the current dance scene with their Afro House genre.

In my opinion it is the most exciting new dance genre since the euphoric days of trance in the late 90's.

Get on it!

Reznik & Mikesh — One More

Show me the way!

Yet more musical delight from the Keinemusik stable.

This one is still pretty new and just a couple of months old.

Very unique and encapsulating all the same.

It has Turkish vibes and uses a hook which sounds like a sitar.

The piano breakdown is just heavenly though.

"Show me the way"

Quality!

Reznik & Mikesh - One And Only

Stuck in the middle!

Cracking classic house track from 1994 which still sounds great.

Great vocals, superb piano, infectious house groove, what more could we want.

Even a great bit of sax.

Classy!

Ambassadors Of Swing Feat. Peter Hall & Antonia Lucas 

- Feeling good  (Original Vocal Mix)

Love is you, you're it's smile!

 A smiply beautiful disco track from 1976 almost 50 years old, wow!

You can hear where Spiller's - Groovejet pilfered all it's material and hooks.

Amazing production, amazing vocals and just exquisite musical instruments, they certainly don't make them like this anymore. I think there's even a glockenspiel in this one!

Great remix work by Tom Moulton just refreshing it and giving it a bit more edge.

A true disco classic!

Carol Williams - Love Is You 

(Tom Moulton Mix)

Reach for the skies!

An absolute trance masterpiece by the Belgian trance producer Laurent Véronnez better known under his Airwave persona.

This is delightful piece of quality trance music which takes you on a journey with lots of builds and breaks.

20 odd years on, it still sounds pretty epic.

Enjoy!

Cape Town - Touch The Skies, Talk To The Stars

If you want it, you gotta go....

Latest release from the Keinemusik stable and a main stay of many of their recent mix sets.

Sublime as usual with beautiful piano chords and some great male vocals.

Just quality all round, only slight criticism being it's a touch short for a dance track and could do with at least another couple of minutes.

Great track though!

Keinemusik, Boys Noize feat. Vinson - Crazy For It 

 

Sweet but different!

Great fast paced remix of the Eurythmics classic.

Rob Searle always creates some really energetic and vibrant remixes and this is one such example.

Possibly a bit cheesy for the purists, but catchy all the same and I could well imagine it popping off nicely if dropped in a club.

Open your mind and enjoy!

C & A - Sweet Dreams 

(Rob Searle Vocal Mix)

Old vs. New?

Two very different remixes of this Moby track.

The Perfecto remix from 2000 is classic Oakey in his Goa trance vibe and is a really great remix, which still sounds superb 25 years on.

Then there is a very new remix from BLOND:ISH, and Kiko Franco which is very much in the current Afro House vibe, which contains some great piano.

Both great and just examples of the art of remixing using the same base but creating completely different vibes.

You don't have to choose, just enjoy them both.

Moby - Natural Blues 

(Perfecto Remix)

Moby, BLOND:ISH, Kiko Franco - Natural Blues 

(Extended Mix)

There's only one thing left for sure!

Heard this track on a Purple Disco Machine mixset recently and just had to post it.

Kim Wilde was pretty hot stuff in the early 80s and although this wasn't one of her big hits, it was probably one of her best tracks and still sounds amazing today.

Hats off to a cracking remix here by Moreno J he has done a brilliant job of enhancing the original version.

Love Kim's vocals very earthy and captivating.

Pure class!

Kim Wilde - Cambodia 

(Moreno J Remix)

If I could turn you on!

12 minutes plus of pounding TE bliss.

My penchant for TE remixes will surprise no one who follows the {CC blog.

They were simply marvels at grabbing tracks by the throat of their necks and turning them into momentous pounding trance classics.

It is another fine example and you are fully absorbed in the track for the full duration.

Some great Kylie-esque vocals and some tasty lyrics also to boot.

When I kiss your salty lips!

Rochelle - Mouth 

(Skynet Vs Trouser Enthusiasts Mix)

Dolly can dance!

Love this remix sticking close to the priginal and retaining that raw beauty which cames from Dolly's great vocals, but making it dancefloor friendly.

Todd has produced some very fines remixes and this is certainly one of them.

Hard to believe this track is now well over 50 years old and came out in 1973, the remix is from 2017.

Dolly Parton – Jolene

(Todd Terje Mix)

Definitely a contender!

 Always loved this track.

It was featured on a Cream Summer anthems CD from 1997 which I played to death at the time as it was a great mix of summer tracks.

It still sounds great and has some great lyrics as well as strong vocals and a really great summer vibe.

Go on be a contender!

Reverend & the Makers — 

Heavyweight Champion of the World 

(Club)

All stand up!

Back in the day when everything seemed simple and anything seemed possible, even the tracks were simple and straightforward.

Here's a listen old skool belter from 1992 which couldn't be simpler and pretty much uses the same piano riff throughout.

Still a little cracker though and cheesy lyrics aside remains a solid little track.

Rave Nation feat Juliette - Stand Up

Oooh what an intro!

The intro to this track is so amazing that it really has nowhere to go from there and the rest of the track somewhat disappoints as a bit of cheesy rave track, but that intro is just heavenly and hence well worth it.

If ever a track needed a remix, because some of the piano in this is absolutely top notch.

Love the bit that slows down and then kicks back into life also.

Old skool never dies.

Enjoy!

Rainbow Zone - Vol 1 - The Rainbow Walls 

(DJ Roy Silver's "Only Smarties Have The Answer" Mix)

I feel so extraordinary!!!

One of Oakey's finest remixes and an iconic New Order track.

It's hard to explain the influence New Order had on modern day music as they were so immense and were a huge part of my musical diet as a youngster.

Great to see that they are still going strong.

I saw them in concert at Wythenshawe in Manchester last year and they were still absolutely on it!

Respect!

About the track, just genius and Oakey adds some sublime touches of piano to give it that dancefloor vibe.

Two class acts!

New Order - True Faith 

(Perfecto Remix) 

Unsung hero!

 Superb trance classic from 1999 and one that totally slipped under the radar.

This track had it all for me and was totally underrated and not that widely played.

Still sounds amazing over 25 years later and should be up there with the true trance classics.

Love the build in this and those beautifully subtle piano chords.

Classic trance as we know and love.

Enjoy!

Spectre - Spectrum 

(Original Mix)

Old vs New?

Which is best? 

Original or new?

The original was a big track for us when we were out but I remember more from 1992 than 1991.

It had that hypnotic groove which was really mesmerising and great to dance to.

The remixed version from 2024 adds some extra piano and in my opinion trumps the original, although all my memories are attached to the original.

Both great tracks and will stand the test of time.

UBQ Project Volume II - When I Fell N Luv 

(Original Version) 

Terry Hunter - When I Fell In Luv 

(Gerd Janson Extended Remix)

Masters of their trade!

When two trance guru's co-lab you know you are going to get something special. 

Ferry Corsten and Tiësto working together under their Gouryella alias creating some of the standout tracks of that great trance era in the early 2000s.

This was a true classic which still sounds great 25 years on.

A monster of a track.

 Gouryella - Tenshi 

(Original Mix)

Happy hours, golden showers!

 Surprised I've not posted this before now.

A quality pop track given some serious remix work.

Danny T produced some real work of arts and this is right up there with them.

Shirely Manson was a great vocalist and had such presence.

The lyrics are also fantastic.

Happy hours, golden showers!

Just such a great track - all 11 mins plus of it!

Garbage - When I Grow Up 

(Danny Tenaglia Club remix)

I'll always be his be his lady!

Another fantastic Freemason's production (aren't they all!), this ones from 2006.

I've run out of superlatives to describe the work of James Wiltshire and his greatest moments are woven throughout the PCC blog.

Here they use their amazing production skills to turn a very average track into a dancefloor banger.

Their ability to use one or two simple hooks throughout the track and overlay great piano was a key trademark and is a key feature here.

Heather Headley - In My Mind 

(Freemasons Vocal Club Mix)

Looking out for love?

Fantastic classic Fleetwood Mac track made extra special by a superb remix by the trailblazer that was Arthur Baker.

I first heard this track via the world famous Chris & James Essential Mix from 1993 which still stands the test of time as the greatest mixset I've ever heard. 

I've really grown to love Fleetwood Mac over the years and this track is pure heaven and just has everything.

The piano is to die for also.

Looking out for love?

Fleetwood Mac - Big Love 

(A Arthur Baker Extended Remix)

Til' you know I love you!

Another imperious remix by the legend that is E-Smoove aka Eric Miller.

The quality and consistency of his remixes were so good I'd put him righty up there in the same bracket as Frankie and Morales - no higher praise is possible.

Here he uses his tried and tested formaula to turn an average track into a dancefloor monster.

This ones from 1995 and should've been bigger than it was.

You can enjoy now regardless.

For Real - You Don't Know Nothin' 

(E-Smoove's Fever Mix)

Low down son of a gun!

This track has it all.

Great lyrics, gorgeous vocals by Rochelle Fleming, all those great disco instruments and a great remix by DT.

The original track dates back to 1979, but this remix is from 1993.

Classy all round!

First Choice - Double Cross 

(Danny Tenaglia Remix)

Fancy some more old skool?

An absolute belting old skool classic from 1991.

It appears to be jump bumbling along and then in comes the piano break and we are in heaven.

Another Nick Hussey production I understand.

Great tracks stand the test of time and this one certainly does.

DJ Roy Silver - Emotion

Don't let me go!

House music perfection from Mr Morales and some great vocals from Janice Robinson.

This is Morales at his most Frankie-esque with some delightful piano guided this track throughout.

11 minutes of unadulterated quality classic house.

Just heavenly.

Don't let me go!

David Morales, Janice Robinson - Father 

(David Morales Classic Epic Mix)

Never gonna fall for....

Bowie was without doubt one of the most influential pop artists of his generation and thoroughly deserved his legend status R.I.P.

Not many of his tracks were that dancefloor friendly though.

How Sgt Slick has a great knack of converting great pop songs into great club tracks with some gentle tweaking of the knobs, whilst always respecting the original track.

Here is just brings the piano, sax and percussion to the fore with great effect.

Bowie reborn for the dancefloor.

Nice.

David Bowie - Modern Love 

(Sgt Slick Multitrack ReCut)

Real love.....tonight!

 Latest from PDM and another one right on the mark.

A little more laid back than usual PDM tracks, but very catchy and definitely a grower.

Glorious vocals by Alison Goldfrapp.

Enjoy.

Purple Disco Machine & Alison Goldfrapp - Dream Machine 

(Extended Version) 

TE sublime yet again!

What I love about TE is that their remixes are always so consistently good.

Whatever track they selected to remix they transformed it into an absolute banger, no fail.

This takes a pretty average track and sprinkle some of the TE magic and it's right there once again.

Those guys were hugely underrated, but never on the PCC blog.

Rock on!

Alexia - The Music I Like 

(Trouser Enthusiasts' Dead Glam Mix)

The legend still has it!

Heard this recently from a mixset from Oakey a few months back and great to hear that the legend is still at it and selecting top quality material.

This has lots of female chanting and builds in slow but powerful manner and then really kicks some.

It was for me the highlight of his set and a track which hits deep.

Love the bit when the synths really explode.

Rock on Oakey!

Argy & Goom Gum - Pantheon 

(Extended Mix)

Welcome to our little gathering!

Stone cold Acid House classic from way back when it all started in 1988.

Still sounds amazing with that awesome jacking groove and that annoyingly good piano, combined with the effective left/right speaker switchbacks.

A house masterpiece that has totally stood the test of time.

House music doesn't have to be complex to be immensely impactful.

Enjoy!

Neal Howard - The Gathering 

(Club)

Feel you, breathe you!

 Staying on that NYC Twilo vibe, here is an absolute monster of a track from those Thunderpuss boys.

Using Celine's amazing and powerful vocals to great effect this is a cracking remix.

Lots of changes in speed and tempo, with some great key changes, but the pièce de résistance is the moment on 5.15 - just wonderful.

What a touch of class!

Celine Dion - I Want You To Need Me 

(Thunderpuss Club Mix)

Skin deep!

That whole New York Twilo period of the late 90's early 2000's where Junior Vasquez, Peter Rauhofer, Hex Hector, Thunderpuss ruled the roost with really long epic remixes of pop songs was very exciting.

Here Peter Rauhofer goes to work under his Club 69 alias creating another club banger from a pretty standard pop track as was his style.

Long epic journeys, with lots of peaks and builds were his thing, creating making an epic track.

This probably isn't one of his very best, but still pretty epic.

Charlotte - Skin 

(Club 69 Future Anthem Club Mix)

Man has come to his bliss!

 A piece of quality from 1992 which still sounds edgy and on it.

The piano and skippy little vibe work very well together.

Man has come to his bliss!

Capricorn - Love In London 

(Piano Mix)

Respect Diggers!

Huge track from Diggers which still sounds amazing all these years on.

To be honest I wasn't a huge fan of Diggers and really thought the music him and Sasha played was overrated and a bit boring.

Don't get me wrong, I can understand why they had the adulation they did, but it just wasn't my bag.

Too much of their stuff was 10 mins long tracks with no real peak and often tracks which sounded ok in clubs, but pretty dull out of clubs.

This is a huge exception and is a superb piece of Progressive house at it's very best.

Respect to you Mr Digweed, this one did rock!

Bedrock - Heaven Scent 

(Original Mix)

Let's go back....

Back to some proper house music and a track from 2012 which feels very much like something from 1988.

Proper old skool house classic vibes, very raw and very in your face, but very good.

Lots of great piano help to make this a sure fire dancefloor monster.

Enjoy!

Alden Tyrell ft Mike Dunn - Touch The Sky 

(International House Mix)

We only said goodbye with words!

As the Afro House explosion grows at pace, it now seems that there is an Afro House remix of virtually every great vocal track out there.

Lots are tosh and very formulaic, this however is a cut above the rest.

It uses Amy's wonderful vocals to great effect and builds into a delightful crescendo of piano.

I'm pretty sure this would be sensational on the dancefloor.

Very tasty!

Amy Winehouse - Back To Black 

(EBENE Remix)

What is wrong in my life?

 A brilliant piece of pure pop music which could still cut it on the dancefloor.

This is over 40 years ago and was when bands made proper music using proper instruments.

If you just look at all the instruments used on this song you can really appreciate the sheer craftsmanship of creating a pop song in those days.

There are quite a few dance remixes of this track, but none compare to the sheer and raw beauty of this original version.

A timeless classic and worthy status as a PCC for maybe a set opener to warm up the floor.

Enjoy!

Fine Young Cannibals - Johnny Come Home

You didn't have to cut me off!

Love this remix, the whole Afro House scene has become music since Keinemusik kicked it off.

This is a pretty well known track which was pretty decent when it was first released, but this remix lifts it to a complete different level.

The piano in this is top notch and just sets up that perfect Afro House vibe.

Another beauty!

Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know 

(ALUR Afro House Remix)
