"I do you, you do me"!!!
Another fantastic track from that man Rollo, who was responsible for some superb tracks and some great remixes. He was also part of Faithless which people may be aware of, but probably fewer people are aware that he is Dido's older brother and produced many of her tracks.
Enough said the man's a bit of a ledge!!
About this track, well it's typical Rollo production, very simple, but very pounding and energetic and very very good.
Be patient as it builds, but prepare yourself for one of the great piano breakdowns in club music.
Simply awesome - I love this one and I'm sure you will too!!!
Plus you can't beat lyrics like "I do you, you do me"!!!

This was the Future!!!
This was the track which Oakey used to open his sets with at Future every week.
Spectrum and Shoom were the 2 legendary London clubs which kicked off the Acid House culture. Spectrum then morphed into Future and these nights basically laid the foundations for the clubbing scene we all came to love. The Hacienda was also leading the way "up North".
The track is a superb piece of electro dance, very dramatic and very very effective.
Oakey also remixed the track in 2000, which is basically the same as the original but much speeded up.
In my mind you can't beat the original which will always remain a true PCC.
Enjoy!!!

It's all about Survival!!!
Beautiful, beautiful house music the way I like it, great vocals, lovely piano chords mixed to a great 4/4 beat.
This one dates back to 1992 and is a real house music classic.
You may not remember it by the title, but as soon as you hear those lyrics
"It's all about survival, I'm talking about survival" and the beautiful piano chords.
Wow - House Music Heaven!!!
Enjoy.
Machine Orchestra - Survival

A little bit of Acid House goes a long way!!!
It still sounds bloody ace though.
Lots of fantastic squelchy acid, mixed with some lush piano. I still love this track to the day.
DJ Fast Eddie did some great stuff back then and was one of the best on the scene at that time.
A bit of a blast from the past this one, but I'm sure you'll agree - a total PCC!!!
Enjoy!!!

And the Bit Goes On....
Snakebite - The Bit Goes On
GOOD LIFE!
Staying with 1995, i dont think this has been posted here yet! a classic from the new power generation, remixed by Dancin' Divas, the breakdown with the vocal got everyone singing, and then the beat kicks in. Enough said....... Enjoy!The New Power Generation - Good Life (Dancin' Divas Club Mix)

Common People
Not sure if this track is everybodys taste but hey i love it! Remixed by Motiv-8, who still remix to this day and seemed to do loads back in the day, again another track that when played would bring a smile to your face. Again fom 1995, seeing as PCC posted a Blur track i thought this would fit the bill too. Hopefully you will enjoy, leave a comment let me know.Pulp - Common People (Motiv-8 12" Mix) www.mediafire.com/?ljmyzucto32
Set You Free
The original mix of this track never really doen it for me! The amsterdam remix on cd2 is only what i could call an absolute belter. Again played in a club close to home many years ago, i could drop this track today and still get as good a response as it did in its prime (15 Years ago). I am also posting a link to the Time Frequency Mix, another good remix. EnjoyN-Trance - Set You Free (Amsterdam Remix) - www.mediafire.com/?md3ymzjrzjm

Here's the latest mix from Drew G!!
While the scene has changed hugely and there now appears to be very few new quality house tracks, but lots of clever remixes of commercial pop tracks, it's refreshing to hear that there's still lots of real quality out there.
This is typified by Drew's mix sets which are always absolutely spot on.
This one is no exception.
Get on it - you know you want to!!

Last one for tonight - Just "Say My Name!!!!"
The track is trance heaven, very melodic, slightly commercial, but tinged with some beautiful piano and some great vocals. A bloody belter IMHO. Another one hammered by Oakey back in 1997.
"We two are one, no space between"
What we've become, I see in my dreams"
Beautiful trance music!!!
I'd welcome some different mixes of this, if anyone has them. Cheers!!!
Enjoy!!
Zee - Say My Name
(Eddy Fingers Midnight Epic Mix)
http://www.mediafire.com/?ilkgynjezjh
This one is pretty huge - don't resist the Change!!!
There a lots of different mixes of this about, but this is the one.
I love the intro to this, very dramatic.
The track's got some great vocals and some excellent driven piano.
As you'd expect hammered by Sasha back in the day and IMHO one of his best remixes.
A top track!!!
"Everything is Gonna Change, Everything is out of place"
"Everything is Gonna Change, Giving it another face"
Nice!!!
Rusty - Everything Is Gonna Change
(Sasha's Full Vocal Mix)
Now for something completely different!!! - Bassline!!!
This is a track which I absolutely used to love.
Very different to my normal taste, but it has a synth riff to die for.
It was a track more accustomed to the "rave/hardcore" scene than the clubs I used to typically frequent, but what a riff and what a bassline.
A bit of a monster!!!
A big shout out to the boys from http://oldschoolhousemusic1990-2000.blogspot.com/
Check out their blog it's one of "the" best out there!!
Gordon Edge - Compnded
Call My Name - I'll Be Right There - Oh Yes I Will!!
This one was another big Parky track hammered at the Hac.
Simply a brilliant piece of house music.
Love it, love it, love it!!!

Next was indeed the E!!!
Hold that Sucker Down!!!
You may know this track, but probably remember the horrible vocal version which was probably ome of the most annoying club tracks ever and ended up on every crappy dance compilation going.
However, this was the mix which rocked the clubs back in 1994 and still sounds great today.
So don't be put off by remembering that horrible vocal version.
You may recognise that it's Rollo behind it and is typical of his style - very pumping!!
The chords and build up in this are different class and then it lifts a level and kicks in again - Top Drawer this one matey!! You'd better believe it!!

Let's Push again!!!
Now I know that this track maybe in some people's eyes a bit cheesy and the lyrics are certainly naff, but I can honestly say I've always absolutely loved this track.
It's just so bloody catchy!!
Now come on sing along
"In the forest, there's a monster
and it looks so, very much like me
won't someone, hear me singing
please save me, please rescue me"
Sorry, but I love it!!!!
P.S. I've been after the Jimmy Gomez remix of this also for some time and hence would appreicate it if anyone can find it for me. Cheers.

Time for some quality Trance - Oakey Stylee!!!
I was (and still am) a huge fan of trance, especially the type of tracks which Paul Oakenfold was banging from about 1996 to 2000.
This is one of those Oakey classics. An absolute stomper that builds and builds.
This one was a huge feature of his sets in that era. It simply rocks - just wait for the "ooh".
I never get much feedback on trance tracks but IMHO they don't come much better than this.
This is absolutely huge - turn it up as loud as your speakers will allow and then tell me you're not feeling it??
Huuuge!!!
P.S. Forget the Ferry Corsten remixes - this is the one!!
Push - Universal Nation
(Original 12" Mix)
Question - What do you get if you cross Sasha with BiR??
But hey, you knew that anyway.
This track was IMHO one of Sasha's best as an artist (except "Be As One"), couple it with a BiR remix and you get a truly fantastic piece of dance floor classic.
Excellent vocals from Sam Mollison, it's one that builds and then explodes in true BiR stylee.
Be patience with it, as the peak at the end of the track is quality.
Enjoy.
That's 3 BiR tracks on the trot, no more for a while I promise you.
I've also added the Main Club Mix which was also pretty good!!
Sasha - Higher Ground
(Big Brother's Mix)
Go on then have another BiR classic remix!!!
This one takes a while to build so be patience, but as soon as it kicks in, you'll know that famous riff.
Come on, BiR must be great if they can turn a Blur song into a club classic.
Now that's real talent.
Do you likey???
By the way if you own this on vinyl, keep hold of it as it is v.rare, there were only about 6 copies ever made.
Blur - Song 2
(Brothers in Rhythm Mix)
http://www.mediafire.com/?muznl3nmw2j
It's official Brothers in Rhythm are the greatest remixers!!!
What a close run competition is turned out to be with Brothers in Rhythm just scraping home in gold medal position, beating Morales by just one vote, with Mr Knuckles close behind in 3rd place.
In my mind there is no doubt that BiR are the best of all time, the magnitude and diversity of the artists that they have remixed and the style in which they have remixed them makes them untouchable!!!
Well it's been a while since I posted a BiR remix, but don't worry there are still plenty in my bag.
This one is very subtle, very soothing and just very nice. It's probably not as anthemic as some of their very best stuff, but it's still a very good remix. BiR remain the true benchmark of remix excellence!!

Something a little bit Stompin!!!
I used to love this back in the day, it's a real quality track with some great drum rolls and a great pounding beat throughout.
There were loads of tracks around at that time in 1996 with a similar feel to this one, but many were not as good in my opinion.
Bring on the Blondes!!!
Digital Blondes - Antheum

A big Sasha tune from back in the day!!!!
Just a quick post to keep the excellent flow going; created by my new blogging buddies Russ and Trev.
This one was a huge Sasha track back in the day and was one of those tracks that you used to hear played out virtually every week, for weeks on end back in 1991.
It's just a real quality tune with lots of great piano chords.
You'll know it as soon as you hear it and think - "Oh yeah Love this one"
Enjoy!!!

we will work it out
Let the "Magic Fly"!!!!
Can you "Feel it in the Air"???
Here's a real old skool classic. Perfect for those of you who like the Italian House "hands in the air" classics.
This one dates back to 1991 and still sounds great even today.
I love the line below - quality!!
"Pacify me (passion), pacify me (emotion), pacify me; (obsession), pacify me; (devotion)"
This one goes out to my old mate Steve O - who I know is a big fan of this track.
Enjoy buddy!!

A big welcome to my fellow PCC blogger!!!
Russ is a bonafide club DJ unlike myself who is just a dance music enthusiastic.
You will find Russ playing at all the top Club nights in Leeds and he shares the same passion for wonderful club music as I do.
So people you'll be pleased to know that they'll be more tracks than ever going up, but the same very high quality will most certainly remain.
So welcome Russ and keep on posting.
Not to be out done by my new recruit, I give you a huge old skool fave of mine from 1991. It's one of those tracks that I never get tired of hearing and rightly deserves the tag "old skool classic".
Great vocals, awesome piano and just a great old skool feel - what more do you want??
"Come on people, get on the move"

Cause you make me whole!
graeme park, allister whitehead,etc.
remix duty by joey negro & was released on the azuli records label, it has rocked many a dancefloor, and while not being a bassline/organ tune it crossed over into that scene & was dropped at most of the big nites (casa's/niche), and it's still getting plays now.

I need your help - Can you find this track????
Now people I need your help.After posting over 500 of the what are in my opinion some of the greatest tracks to ever hit clubland, I'm asking for your help to me find me a much sought after track. I (and many others) have been searching for this track for many months/years.
It was first brought to my attention by Mr Chris Day (from Chris and James), as a big track which they played out and always went down a storm.
I've managed to track down an edit from YouTube (thanks Starchaser for that).
However, I'd love to get hold of a full version. It's been on my most wanted list for the past 9 months. Someone out there must have a MP3 version??
Otherwise I'll have to beg Mr Day to get his records out of storage!!
The track is simply awesome - it's got an amazing kicking rhythm and although very much on a disco vibe, it is also incredibly fierce. It pulls the riff from Bumblebee United - Lady Bug - which has been posted on the blog some time ago. It takes that riff and absolutely electrifies it.
People I need you help. It's so rare it's not even on Discogs!!
If anyone can come back with a good MP3 version I promise them that'll post any track of their choice as the next post and give them a huge shout of appreciation.
The gaunlet's been well and truly been laid down. Can anyone step up to the plate???
The PCC challenge is on!!!

Time to up the tempo and Terrorize you!!!
Now this may not be for all of you and some may think, slightly cheesy and happy hardcore-ish?But there was never any doubt that these kind of tracks absolutely rocked.
Now I was never into hardcore and always thought that scene was pretty naff. But there was a time in the early to mid 90's (circa 1993) that clubs stopped playing all those classic Italian piano tracks, which us Northerners loved so much. While clubs liked Back To Basics, Hard Times, Hac etc were great, we still needed our fix of piano tunes now and again. Hence we'd throw in the odd night at Life, Bowlers or the Universe nights in Bradford and then come across tracks like this which were quality for the "hands in the air" posse.
Slaves to the "piano choons" we were!!!
If it sounds good then it is good - no matter if it's a bit cheesy.
Are you with me or agin me???
P.S. I can assure you, I never wore white gloves, blew a whistle or wore a flourescent jacket. Lol.
Terrorize - Feel The Rhythm
(Firing Remix)
http://www.mediafire.com/?mde4mzbmmyd
Some more wonderful house music!!!
Sticking on the house vibe people, get a load of this one.It's another huge favourite of mine and is a simply divine piece of house music from 1991. A superb re-working of the old Phyliss Hyman track.
Superb vocals, a delightful little skippy house beat and some divine piano.
It sounds very much like a Diana Ross track, but house-ified!!
It's probably no surpise it's so good when you consider who is behind the track.
Steve Anderson producing and Dave Seaman and Phil Kelsey on the remix - the perfect recipe for wonderful dance music.
I just love this one, beautiful laid back house music at it's every best!!
Don't you agree??

Yo people, "I know a place where we can go and get away from it all".
Some more quality, quality house music here for you.
Surprisingly after over 500 posts this is the first Kim English post, but it won't be the last as she did some quality tracks and is a great vocalist.
E-Smoove on the mix who is simply a fantastic remixer. always producing seriously good classic house tracks, tinged with just the right about of piano.
My favourite part of this track is the vocal when it goes
"Memories to share, air, air, air, air, air, air, air, air, air, air, air, air""
Love it!!

We're heading for some Heavy Weather!!!
Totally love this one, which is a great re-working of the Farley "Jackmaster" Funk classic.http://www.mediafire.com/?q1yw5dwglmm
Are you ready for The Anthem!!!
Now not many tracks could get away with titling themselves "The Anthem", but this one can certainly get a way with it.
A few nice samples of Grace Jones' - Slave to the Rhythm and some other samples I should know, but can't recall, blending with some pretty banging piano creating some "Anthem".
This one was a bit of a monster back in 1994 and I believe Dave Morales had a hand in it.
