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.
Tune of the Week – Gabriel & Castellon – Soul (Muzikjunki Mix)
Aug 9th
At last, a tune of the week! I thought it was about time I posted a new tune of the week but I’ve been lazy with the site lately!
After a break in Spain, I returned and download about 25 house tracks and I found this new release on beatsdigital (i think). A great funky track, an uplifting beat with good vocals.
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.
