House Family - Honey I Feel So Free

video

Doncaster Wharehouse 1991

video

The club scene was different for everyone involved. I like to think that 1988-94 was a fun time for all and the above vid acts as a snapshot of a carefree time. Faces a wash with deep joy. People either swaying with their hands held up to the lasers or jumping up and down like they are on a pogo stick.

White gloves and Stussy hats all over the place. Girls wearing all in one catsuits and the lads all looking like painters and decorators in their white dungarees. You can't buy memories like that. To anyone who was there, you will know what I am talking about.

Special times.

Colourblind - Nothing Better (1992)



a driving house tune by the hands of the fantastic Pete Bones under his Hand And Spear pseudonym.

Colourblind - Nothing Better (Hand And Spear Club mix)

Dilemma - In Spirit (1991) (1996 rmx)



been recently playin this & after all those years,still is a fine chooon, an Italian production, an hammering electronic sequencing melody created by the trio Moratto-Colino-Sabadin, names seen in a lot of Italian dance stuff with vocals by Scarlet, is a magnificent odyssey that make a clever use of the Rondo' Veneziano's "La Serenissima" oboe sample.

The Menz Club - Burn Down The House (1988



the first examples of piano-house made in Europe, dangerously upliftng, supported by very inspired vocals, it still sound as refreshing as the when it was released, in my eyes one of those track that made history!! minta.......

asha jj tribute 1990




When, at the begin of the nineties, the "samplemania" exploded and a lot of dance act were using (who borrowing, who plainly stealing) from old tracks vocals from the likes of James Brown, Loleatta Holloway and First Choice (To name a few), this Italian band stand out for originality
using the "Ball And Chain" vocals from Janis Joplin on this Euro House track, at the time there were a lot of mixes around, my favourite is always been this one by Milan-born Joe T Vannelli,
where the electronic drums and keyboards melt with an anthemic acoustic piano and a more reserved saxophone: Class!!!!

Tori Amos-'Professional Widow' 96



Classics don't come much bigger than Armand Van Helden's storming remix of Tori Amos' 'Professional Widow'. Originally a b-side the track soon gained more support than its A-side and became a massive Ibiza hit in 1996 before getting re-released the following year and going to No1 in the UK charts.

Reach 94



Judy Cheeks' 'Reach', became an instant classic back in 1994 as one of the true original vocal hands-in-the-air anthems. Produced by Dave Seaman and Steve Anderson (AKA Brothers In Rhythm) and caned on all releases by Pete Tong, this track has been a hit 3 times. Although the Brothers In Rhythm Mix remains the true anthem, the later Dancing Divaz and even more recent Friday Night Posse remixes bring new life to the track and its sheer brilliance

The Italian onslaught came in 1993, when Cappella hit the clubs and charts with their singles 'U Got 2 Let The Music' and ' Move On Baby', bringing their unique sound with remixes from Mauro Picotto. Both tunes went top 3 in the UK and started the Euro invasion of dance tunes

Dreamer



Originally overlooked on its 1994 release, this Italian anthem soon gathered momentum and hype to be re-released a year later when it became an anthem for a generation and a no.1 UK hit. Visnadi, who wrote the track, was also responsible for Alex Party.,,woooo

Included here is the now legendry Three 'N One Mix as well as mixes from 1998 by Oliver Leib, Nalin & Kane and Hybrid

In 1994, Slo Moshun's 'Bells Of NY' was an absolutely HUGE track in the clubs. This piano led monster has been remixed for 2008, updating it for a new generation,ere is the

Josh Wink




I first heard this in a club called Blueberries Nelson ,a friend ..dj Jacko asked me wot i thought about this choon & i said its foookin shite. I still can remem from this day,, ha ha anyway.. Josh Wink's 'Higher State Of Consciousness' was a strobe classic in 1995 but it took until 1996 for it to become a massive hit record. Its use of 303 made it stand out and stick in your mind. Remixes came from Judge Jules and Dex & Jonesey

Together - Hardcore Uproar & I Wanna Come



This classic from 1990 still sounds as good as it did then. Some bleepy tunes will certainly be showing signs of age now but this one doesn't which proves that a good record is a good record. Very well put together and such a shame that one of the guys who made this was tragically killed upon its release. Hope he rests in peace and we thank him for his outstanding contribution towards house music. Together-Hardcore Uproar-classic.

gat decor - passion 1992/96/97& mashups



The original progressive house anthem! This got a nasty vocal remix some years after it was originally released but this original version is the absolute bizness. Just about everything in here, a bit of piano, a few gorgeous pads, a driving chunky bassline and classic piece of percussion work. One of the best house tunes ever made IMO and I'm not alone on thinking that. A timeless tune which is still played out in clubs to this day!

2funky2 - brothers and sisters 93/96rmx




As you might have guessed by now I do love my piano tracks! This is the sort of tune that will send you through the roof, totally euphoric oldskool house which has been sampled by just about everyone since it was released. A similar version was done by JJ Tribute, it got re-released for '94 and had several hardcore tracks use the main piano break. The version by Liquid Crystal called 'You Got Me' is even better if you like your breakbeat.

mint choon to start the nite off.....

sneak transforms the classic in a loopy disco bisquit, mashed with heavy filter use in his retro boogie mix. on his rub a dub dub he chopped the vocals into small bits and turns the melody hook into a acidic loop. german wunderkind mousse t creates a more jazzy trip with his mixes - both are equally good. and yes: the original flava is the original this time - as on the 12'' release "heller 'n' farley project - from the dat vol. 1'', the very first heller & farley release from 1995.

Liberation2



1993

The mighty follow-up to the quirky yet contrived ‘Liberation’ released in ’92. Even better than it’s predecessor this one is a serious house anthem from ’93. Cool piano breakdowns and energy fuelled synths coupled with a catchy sample from the famous speech by Martin Luther King make this tune one to be remembered. I first heard this on a wicked oldskool dance music TV programme called ‘BPM’ (remember it?) and also @Angels ,,,,,Wicked

Pierre Feroldi feat Linda Ray Moving Now (Disco Magic) 1994




The Italians quite literally raped Salsoul's entire back catalogue to produce some great piano house tunes in the early 90's. This one was one of my personal favourites although ironically I don't know what samples are in this..if any. Anyone who was into old skool back in the 90's will know this as one of the finest.


S Bam Take Me Away Now (RA. RE) 1990







This one is my personal favourite from all the Italian piano house 12"s. Was also released on Disco Magic UK in 1994. The usual samples from Salsoul, namely Loleatta Holloway's fantastic 'Love Sensation' and a nice piano riff made this a wicked tune. Stonecold classic..

Dream Frequency Feel So Real (Bull & Butchert) 1991




Classic piano screamer from back in the old skool!

playin this at moment & its a mint


S.L.D. Gettin' Out (Creed) 1990





This was a massive piano anthem back in the day and rightly so. The vocals are cut and paste from Gwen Guthrie's Getting Hot and also Raw Silk's Do It To The Music and they work so well over the piano on this. If you're into old skool piano tunes then it doesn't really come any bigger than this..

1992/96/06 & Bootleg rmx






Typical of these early 90's bootlegs, a well known tune and a well known accapella virtually pasted together and hey presto, you got a cheeky white label. This is in my opinion one of the best, perhaps at the time one of the most sought after piano tunes (Hyper Go Go - High) with the excellent vocals from the jungle brothers - I'll House You, making the tune a dancefloor killer at clubs all over the country circa 1992.
