Been on a bit of a UK Garage binge lately.
Just love some of those sounds from back in the day.
Such as this R&B-infused beauty:
Kele Le Roc - My Love (10º Below Vocal Mix)
1999 garage remix of a song for which she won a MOBO for best single.
Love the way her vocals are used in this. Really effective.
10º Below also released under the name Double 99 (of RipGroove fame).

ok so i heard this on the radio last night:
DJ Falcon & Thomas Bangalter - Together
not heard this classic for like 20 years, real blast from the past, French disco house style, so good
Bangalter was one half of Daft Punk, released a couple of tracks with DJ Falcon - this one in 2000
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTcwCWyuEP8
#DJFalcon #ThomasBangalter #DaftPunk #FrenchHouse #HouseMusic #House #Music
above track put me in a 'turn of the century French house' mood
such as this controversial one from Bob Sinclar and Bangalter, 1998:
Bob Sinclar - Gym Tonic (Thomas Bangalter Mix)
very tongue in cheek, sued by Jane Fonda for sampling her workout video - they settled for $75k
Bangalter also refused to release the track, Sinclar did so anyway, and they never worked together again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0r7rxX3xjE
#BobSinclar #ThomasBangalter #DaftPunk #FrenchHouse #JaneFonda #HouseMusic #House #Music
another classic from 2000:
Alan Braxe & Fred Falke - Intro
five minutes of pure funk. kind of surprised to see this one has so many views, did not believe it was so widely known. maybe the fact it was used during the Olympics last year?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nS0accElcA
#AlanBraxe #FredFalke #FrenchHouse #HouseMusic #House #Music
and of course, the other collaboration between Falcon and Bangalter - from 2002:
Thomas Bangalter & DJ Falcon - So Much Love To Give
this is incredible. epic. some records just sound like perfection. utter masterpiece here. the long intro, then when the beat kicks in - amazing. can just *feel* the sun, the terrace overlooking the sea, the joy, so powerful ❤️

Monday vibes:
Michael Gray - The Weekend (Original 12")

oldie on the radio last night:
Barbara Tucker - I Get Lifted
incredible, uplifting, soulful. love Tucker. this is pure class though.
also came on the radio last night, from 2021 maybe:
Louie Vega - Another Day In My Life
just fantastic, so groovy and feelgood.
really hard to put into words how good these last two are.
this is lovely:
Louie Vega feat Unlimited Touch - I Hear Music In The Streets
Vega's cover / remix of an old 80s disco record. he released this in late 2020, a few months after original bassist Sandy Anderson died of covid.
Vega gathered the remaining band members who all perform on this version. a nice tribute to their departed.

another beautiful, hopeful 80s track:
Sterling Void & Paris Brightledge - It's All Right
released in 87, originally titled 'It's All Right' but later releases have it as 'It's Alright', another one produced (and co-written) by the legendary Marshall Jefferson
covered in 89 by the Pet Shop Boys

in the beginning, acid did not exist.
Phuture - Acid Tracks
imagine hearing this the first time in a dark club. when nobody had ever heard anything like it before. surely the roof would have been torn off the place.
mind. blown.
it's not a song, it's brutal, it's incredible. one of the most important records of the last 50 years.
on the flip of Acid Tracks was this:
Phuture - Phuture Jacks
much less well-known than Acid Tracks i guess. not even sure i heard it many times before. but this has more of a groove / funk than the rawness of the a-side.
also on the b-side of Acid Tracks was this:
Phuture - Your Only Friend
dark, frightening, melancholy. vocals imagine cocaine talking to the listener. "in the end, i'll be your only friend".
love this:
Cinthie - Roberta Johnson
pianos like it's 1990 ❤️
this is cool:
Jamie Jones & Baby Rose - Rolling Thunder (Franky Rizardo 'Day' Remix)
Rose's vocals really give a hint of Nina Simone here, very nice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gSjjOz6H_I
#JamieJones #BabyRose #FrankyRizardo #HouseMusic #House #Music
this is glorious:
Soulsearcher - Feelin' Love (Soulsearcher Club Mix)
been loving this remix lately and it's now out:
Jonas Blue & Malive - Edge Of Desire (Jazz-N-Groove Club Mix)
(incidentally, one half of Jazz-N-Groove is Marc Pomeroy, who is also behind that Soulsearcher track before this one)
heard this on the radio last night:
Maurice Joshua feat First Sundays - Fly Away (Tedd Patterson Organ Solo)
like, almost shockingly good. the funk, the organ, the hints of gospel. everything just sounds so good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5nO0brVQWo
#MauriceJoshua #FirstSundays #TeddPatterson #HouseMusic #House #Music
wonderful new release:
Nic Fanciulli - La Luna
such a lovely sound. end of the night, sun rising as you look out across the ocean after dancing the night away - that's what this sounds like ❤️
another from 93:
The Anthill Mob - Black Rushin' (Anthill Remix)
🤯🤯🤯
top comment on there is from one of the producers coming across the upload 25 years later
epic:
Kathy Brown - Joy (David Morales Classic Club Mix)
love Kathy Brown's voice, she's a real treasure. and the uplifting lyrics ❤️
and Morales is just on it as always
wonderful, wonderful record ❤️
Robert Hood is the godfather of minimal techno
in the early 10s, awakened by a religious vision, he produced a few gospel-style house infused with his minimal techno vibes under the alias Floorplan
in the late 10s he revived the alias, along with his daughter Lyric
here's a new release:
Schiela - In The Morning (Floorplan Remix)
