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

Underground Resistance - Electronic Warfare
wild that this is 30 years old. sounds as fresh as it ever did. impeccable record.
produced solo by former Parliament / Funkadelic bassist 'Mad' Mike Banks after Mills and Hood left the collective in the early-90s

heard this on the radio earlier and thought "that sounds like Frankie" and "that sounds like Jocelyn", and of course it was
from 2012, but a new one on me:

goodness, this is so good:
Frankie Knuckles presents Director's Cut starring Inaya Day - Let's Stay Home (A Director's Cut Classic Club Mix)
Inaya's vocals are absolutely gorgeous
today i learned she's the singer on the classic 98 hit Horny
but this is on a whole other level as a vocal performance, more like r&b or something, just fantastic, the way she makes the melody from her voice, magnificent ❤️

during the first lockdown, 2020, Vinyl Fanatiks put out a free album. Hardcore Lockdown.
whole album is worth a listen, like a snapshot of expression in those dark days. don't think it's free anymore though.
this is probably my favourite track from it:
Silver Fox - Gunman
just sick, so good. hard breakbeats, filthy synths, pure raving energy.
from darkness into light...
Tone Def and Ci Ci Hunter - You Got It
probably my second favourite from the above Hardcore Lockdown compilation. bit slower, much more uplifting, pianos raining down...
turn of the century this was big
got loads of play, felt like it was everywhere for a while
Tiga & Zyntherius - Sunglasses at Night
youtube description says 2002, Discogs says 2001, that feels more accurate, can remember where i was living
this one too, around the same time
Fischerspooner - Emerge
destroyed everywhere
oh God, and this one too
Vitalic - La Rock 01
not sure this was as widespread but yeah. did some real damage in the old discotheques of the day 😎
that electro kind of sound was really big around 01
last one for now, bit earlier release but got loads of play around 01 / 02 where i was
Umek - Lanicor
five minutes, no intro, straight up banger from the moment the needle hits the record
turn of the century, what a time
nice new release
Pastaman - Strictly Dubplate
always love this kind of reggae-infused sound, this is a good one, fantastic bassline, just feel when it kicks in with the breaks 🤯
classic from 96
Hollis P. Monroe - I'm Lonely
not heard this for best part of 30 years i guess at this point, not even sure where i know it from
absolutely fantastic record, though
just beautiful ❤️
there's a new Casanova remix coming soon that's really nice, why i remembered about this, don't see it anywhere yet though
all time classic
Pete Heller's Big Love - Big Love
epic ten minutes of joy
remember this from the 90s, reminds me so much of summer, i guess 98, feels like the same summer as Stardust
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1i5D2_XNSw
#PeteHeller #PeteHellersBigLove #BigLove #HouseMusic #House #Music
listening on a loop could have been written for me
Nia Archives - So Tell Me...
I get so stuck inside my head
This overthinking sends me west
Obsess 'bout everything you said
And what I could've said instead
❤️
Glastonbury version because why not
gorgeous song
Louie Vega feat Audrey Wheeler & Cindy Mizelle - You Got Me Dancing
real disco feel to it
Wheeler was in late disco band Unlimited Touch
Mizelle worked with greats including Mariah, Whitney, Luther, Aretha
Vega got the (surviving) members of Unlimited Touch back together for his album Expansions In The NYC, from which this is taken
such a lovely, catchy song, joy

Just... sublime:
Toni Braxton - Un-Break My Heart (Frankie Knuckles Franktidrama Club Mix)
so good
Sophie Lloyd feat Dames Brown - Calling Out
gospel vibes, just so uplifting, lovely organ, absolutely *fantastic* piano and vocal work
some songs just really hit deep
so good
posting that Toni Braxton song up thread reminded me of this one too
The Braxtons - The Boss (MAW Remix)
The Braxtons were sister group Toni was in before she went solo. think she'd left by the time they released this though
MAW - Masters At Work - produced this masterpiece, cover of an old Diana Ross hit
just an absolutely *gorgeous* song, like absurdly good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMKyPJpNszo

❤️

heard this on the radio the other day but failed to get the id
just heard it again
Michelle Shellers - Rise (DJ Spen & Thommy Davis Vocal Reproduction)
omg
CLASS remix, fantastic uplifting vocal performance, what a record
SO good ❤️
there so much good new music these days it's wild
original by Soul Providers back in 99
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUXmU0LLvFY
#MichelleShellers #DJSpen #ThommyDavis #SoulProviders #HouseMusic #House #Music
one of the records of the year for sure
Mau P - The Less I Know The Better
melancholy, catchy, hits hard
extended mix where it's at
finally got a release, record i been hearing for months:
Rocket Dubz - Goosebumps In The Winter

classic trance track from back in the day
absolute banger
easily one of the best tracks from back then
that second breakdown... 😭
DJ Hitch Hiker presents Lunatic Asylum - Cabal (Energy Flow) (Hitch Hiker & Dumondt's Gom Jabar Mix)
keeps getting taken down off youtube, so i guess the link will probably break but it's there for now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_uTz-xW0PI
#DJHitchHiker #LunaticAsylum #Dumondt #Trance #ClassicTrance #Music

another classic trance track:
Katcha - Touched By God (Alfie Conn Mix)
it's just so beautiful. stunning. can just imagine it: lasers, strobes, glowsticks. incredible.
if i remember right the vocal sample is from some random meditation tape they found in a second hand shop or something

posted this before but not in this thread, totally worth a repost 😎
M&S presents The Girl Next Door - Salsoul Nugget (If You Wanna)

i guess i am in a classic trance mood today
first up for no real reason but got to start somewhere
Delerium - Heaven's Earth (Matt Darey Remix) (2000)
vocals are just stunning, whole production is a masterpiece
don't think it's as well-known as the Tiësto mix of Silence - i don't remember it at all from back in the day... but i think it's stronger

and may as well have that Tiësto mix of Silence up next
Delerium - Silence (DJ Tiësto In Search Of Sunrise Remix) (2000)
so many great memories from this track, was huge

next up:
Sonique - It Feels So Good (The Conductor & The Cowboy Amnesia Mix) (2000)
Sonique was one member of early acid house band S'Express, she went solo late 90s - this was one of her first tracks, but this remix is just so much better than the original, like it's wild what they did to it here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3TEi8T8iAA
#Sonique #SExpress #TheConductorAndTheCowboy #Trance #ClassicTrance #Music

The Conductor & The Cowboy released (as far as i know) only one original track back in the day, mostly doing remixes
it's pretty good though
The Conductor & The Cowboy - Feeling This Way (Original Mix) (2000)
there was a Solar Stone remix of this that got played a lot as well, but i prefer the original

this has to be one of the best from back then:
Freefall feat Jan Johnston - Skydive (Original Mix) (1998)
just incredible really

Lange was one of my favourite producers in those days, loved almost everything he touched
this is a later one:
Lange feat Skye - Drifting Away (Original Mix) (2002)

well
first new track of the year i'm posting
Soneec & Soultizer - In Your Eyes
it's... pretty special
yes huge understatement, this has got to be a contender for one of the best records of the year and it came out on the second day
big time disco / funk / soulful vibes
incredibly lovely, joyful sound
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63zt-blaRfU
#Soneec #Soultizer #HouseMusic #House #Disco #NuDisco #Music

ended up on a bit of a Louie Vega mini-binge this evening
Louie Vega feat Anané - Cosmic Witch
don't think i posted this before (with his wife Anané), but it's fantastic. another one from his album Expansions In The NYC
really nice laid back vibe to this one, great strings, vocal snippets

SICK
DJ Flash - Pulp Fact
volume up so you really feel that bass 😎
such a minimal sound too
how is this 30 years old

omg
no words
just a sick sick tune
Lewi Cifer - Heat (Lewcified Remix)


The DJ Producer - Make Me Feel
classic Loleatta Holloway Love Sensation sample

is it summer already?
Dusky - Percy Veering
LOVE this mid-90s style piano vibe

this from 92
Davina - Don't You Want It
classic Detroit record, UR sound, topped with some lovely vocals
Underground Resistance (Mike Banks) on production, originally out on Happy Records
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1iY-vO4QJE
#Davina #UndergroundResistance #UR #MikeBanks #HouseMusic #House #Techno #Music

Octave One feat Ann Saunderson - Blackwater (Full Strings Vocal Mix)
just beautiful

and this is Octave One's first single, from 90
Octave One feat Lisa Newberry - I Believe
featured on the second wave Techno compilation back then

this is fantastic, 93 rave sound:
Inta Warriors - Your Love Is Yours
sweet, bright vibes, but also some darkness creeping in, somewhere between hardcore and jungle
Inta Warriors is an alias of Grooverider

and this was on the flip side:
Inta Warriors - Aqua-Pura
also class, real bright vibe again, but takes a much darker, rougher tone

last two were from Inta Warriors Volume 1 EP
same year he put out Inta-Warriors Vol.2
on this side:
Inta-Warriors - Dreams Of Heaven (The Silence Mix)

and on that side:
Inta-Warriors - Dreams Of Heaven (The Chance Mix)
name of the mix there refers to the classic bassline...

this classic bassline:
Reese - Just Want Another Chance
Kevin Saunderson... just blows me away how influential this guy is
like this record is from 88 and people *still* using his sound almost 40 years later

and this is like top five records of all time for me honestly
Inner City - Pennies From Heaven (Kevin's Tunnel Mix)
didn't do quite as well in the uk singles charts as Big Fun or Good Life, but yeah. this one hits harder for me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5_bgOh_TH0
#InnerCity #KevinSaunderson #Techno #HouseMusic #House #Music


A Guy Called Gerald - Silent Cry
another from Black Secret Technology. could probably just post the whole album, incredible.

A Guy Called Gerald - Survival
really am trying not to just post every track from this album but it's so difficult when they're all this good

1993 sound:
4 Horsemen Of The Apocalypse - Drowning In Her
mind blowing how good this is
goosebumps all over
just 🤯

@picard this is 30y old??? damn
love that classic bass sound
