Jean Jacques Smoothie – 2People (Louise la Roche Remix – DJ Kevin-E Edit)
Jul 19th
I bought this remix from djdownload.com but only discovered afterwards that it’s only 2 mins – not long for DJ use, so I decided to loop it a bit to make it 4 minutes+. Nothing special here, just a bit of intro/outro looping to play it at gigs.
Trance Classic – Veracocha – Carte Blanche
Oct 6th
Veracoche, the alias of top Dutch Trance producers Vincent De Moor and Ferry Corsten produced this timeless classic in arguable the best era of the Trance genre – the late 90′s.
“Carte Blanche” reached number 22 in the UK singles charts and it’s synthetic melody, plus the added piano notes together with that uplifting beat make it an unforgetable trance track.
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.
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.
