Trance Classics – Nalin & Kane – Beachball
Sep 11th
The second Trance Classic in the Series. Nalin and Kane’s fantastic ‘Beachball’ track from 1997, the perfect song to listen to when relaxing at the beach.
It has that constant progressive house melodic beat, with gentle balearic sounds and superb vocals. It’s a timeless classic, it’ll be never be forgotten or ignored, even 12 years on, it still gets remixed and sampled today, but the original is the only worth listening to, ever.
Trance Classics – Energy 52 – Cafe Del Mar
Sep 6th
The first Trance track in the series of Trance Classics is Three N One’s Remix of Energy 52 – ‘Cafe Del Mar’, released in 1997. One of my favourite all-time trance tracks, that defines what trance really is.
Giuseppe Ottaviani – Go Album
Sep 6th
Giuseppe Ottaviani, the Italian producer, famous for his productions along side Andrea Ribeca under the Nu-Nrg alias, has just released his debut album ‘Go’, and considering he’s one of my favourite producers, I was very much looking forward to it.
He’s one of the most consistent producers out there in the scene today, with some superb tracks and remixes such as No More Alone, Until Monday, Through Your Eyes plus remixes of The New World, Follow Me and Streamline to name a few.
Hardly surprisingly then, that his album is excellent. It’s got a blend of typical uplifting tracks like White Empire and Our Dimension together with some vocal tracks such as Fallen and No More Alone and more techy numbers like Thermopile.

Classic House – Jamie Principle – Your Love
Sep 4th
Another House Classic, Your Love by Jamie Principle (and Frankie Knuckles) one of the earliest House records from 1986.
I believe Jamie Principle picked up the hook at the beginning after hearing a small sample and he looped it continuously. Back in the day, “It was THE Shit” according to Derrick May – who produced “Strings of Life” – one of my favourite house piano melodies ever.
Classic House – Mr Fingers – Can You Feel It
Sep 3rd
House Music started in Chicago in the 1980′s, before I was even born, inspired by Disco music with Soul and Funk sounds. DJ’s began to use the sounds of disco to develop a new genre, using samples and using a bass beat (kick drum) to create a new sound. You really have to go back to when House was first being produced to appreciate proper 100% Classic House.
The First Classic House song I ever heard was Mr Fingers – Can You Feel It, released 22 years ago in 1987, same year I was born. I can’t imagine the amount of times this song has been sampled since then!
I believe Larry Heard aka Mr. Fingers, sampled Chuck Roberts words of “In the Beginning There Was Jack…” in his track.
These Geniuses in Chicago, developed a new genre that has inspired dance music of today.
