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.

Tune of the Week – Breakfast – Remember
Apr 27th
Tough one this week, a few trance tracks to decide over (mostly Reverse – Distant Destiny) but in the end I went with Breakfast’s new track – Remember. It has a similar sound to “The Sunlight” but it still has a different and uplifting melody and it’s sure to feature in a lot of mix-sets and radio shows, Sied Van Riel played it during his ASOT400 set at Godskitchen, Birmingham.
It’s out now on Flashover Recordings together with “After Midnight” but that’s a track I’m not very keen on.
Gareth Emery – Exposure/Metropolis
Apr 23rd
Gareth Emery is set to release another amazing double Trance EP – Exposure and Metropolis on Garuda Records. Exposure has had a lot of plays at gigs on the trance radio shows and looks set to be huge while Metropolis is equally as good and was the first track in his set at ASOT400 – Birmingham. Can’t wait ’til this gets a release around mid May.
Other good tracks from Gareth Emery: This is That, More than Anything, Another You Another Me (Vs Lange), Soul Symbol.
