My Love Is Deep

Wow!!! What a FGC from 95 this is. Amazing stuff with fab vocals, pianos and bassline. Oh, and here's a flyer from the bank holiday weekend years back from DejaVu in Hull.
Keep your ears peeled folks because this has had a tasty update due for release in the next month.

'I know you're the man,
you know that way you wanna treat me like I'm your baby.'

French Affair

Here's a choon I ripped off of a single sided vinyl on Italian label Sound Division. It samples a cheeky little riff from De La Soul. See what you think. Enjoy.

Ride On The Rhythm

Back to 91 for some pure class. Quality choonage!!!

'I wanna ride on the rhythm,
and groove to that nasty funky beat,
and when it comes, I go crazy,
I'm gonna make you get on up and move your feet.
'Cos when the rhythm's right,
It'll make you move all night,
It's gonna keep you coming back for more,
And when the beat is strong,
You'll party all night long,
You'll party till you can't take anymore.'

Spread Love

FGC from this year. I think this is great and with the vocal talents of Michelle Weeks and Richard Earnshaw on the mix you can't go far wrong imho. Chooon!!!

'Spread love around the world,
For the children of the world.'

Another Stevie

Another old Cream flyer from the early days. Here's a white label I've got simply entitled 'Another Stevie'. It's a remake of (unsuprisingly) Stevie Wonder's 'Another Star' which I'm sure I heard Roger Sanchez play around 93/94.

When I've had a look on Discogs though I can't find it. However, what I do see is that there was a Kathy Sledge version in 95 so I'm guessing that they couldn't get the go ahead from Stevie's record company to use his vocal. Anyway, it's a FGC. Love it.

'La la la la la la la la la la.
For you there might be a brighter star,
But through my eyes, the light of you is all I see.
For you there might be another song,
But all my heart can hear is your melody.'

I Feel High

Another FGC from 93.
This track by Slo Moshun, who are probably better know for their Bells Of NY, was written and produced by Altern-8 who were frustrated with the scene at the time, Altern-8 falling out of fashion and the percieved bias towards US released house tracks. They then fooled the US house followers with what is a belting track, packaged and imported to look like the real thing. Lol.

You're all gonna go.
Haaahahaha.'

A couple of belting mixes off the vinyl of a track which I'm sure you'll all be familiar with as the original (no pun intended) was played to death and charted quite high back in 94 ish.

Music Makes Me Happy

FGC from a Slovenian house duo in 2001. Came out on Distinctive Records.

'The music makes me happy, you know, in my soul.
And I'm about to lose my control.'

Give It To You

Oh yes!!! The now legendary Cream opened in late 92 and this early flyer was from Jan 93. I fookin loved this place in the early days and went regularly. I don't think you can beat the quality UK and US house music they played at the time. Great stuff indeed.
I'll post 2 mixes of this track off the vinyl, David Morales and Maurice Joshua, although if anyone wants the dubs let me know.
Also the quality at the start of the Morales mix (a few crackles and pops) isn't the best but there you go, it is 17 years old and been hammered after all, lol.

Jus Fookin Great Choonz!!!

Hot and Wet (Jamies Acid Rain Tornado)

I noticed that over on superb 'Wonderful World Of Dance' blog that the original of this FGC had been upped this evening. I've had the vinyl ripped and lined up ready to post sometime but got beaten to it. Well no worries, here's the quality flip side which is equally as good in a pumped up acid kinda way.

Come on!!!

To The Rock

Here's a FGC from a few years back, 06 to be precise, although I've only just heard it myself for the first time recently. It's a wonderful piece of groovy vocal soulful American garage house style of music, the kind that was played at Hard Times. I only visited the club once when it was in Mirfield around 93. After that it moved to Huddersfield and then onto Leeds.

Sweeeeet!!!

Promised Land

A true classic. Amazing. One of my all time favourites. Possibly one of the best records ever made imho. When you hear this FGC drop at 6am as the sun is about to rise and after having danced all night it is the ultimate sing along anthem. It can overwhelm you awesome feelings of joy, puts tears in your eyes and makes you want to hug strangers.

If house is a feeling, this is it.

'When the angels from above,
Float down and spread their wings like doves,
As we walk hand in hand,
Sisters, brothers, we'll make it to the promised land.'

Crisis A Gwan

And now for something completely different from 95. I reckon this is gonna be a marmite moment... you'll either love it or hate it.

I've always been open minded when it comes to dance music and although I obviously do have my prefered genres, I have been known to be partial to a bit a cheeky techno now and then.

I've had some amazing nights out listening to crazy acid techno shit at free parties, raves and club nights like The Orbit at the Afterdark in Morley and where this flyer is from, Voodoo at Le Bateau in Liverpool.

Let's Fookin Have It!!!
Woooooohoooooo!!!

In My Bed

Back to the future...

This is out today so get it while it's hot!

Heard this out at Federation a couple of months back now and the crowd reaction was very positive indeed (mine included). The place went right off (with the help of a large, spark shooting, dancing globot appearing). It's a great big FGC and it's been going round my head for ages. Love it!

I've been trying to get hold of a copy ever since. Enjoy.

Q

FGC from 91. This is a dreamy, atmospheric, futuristic, bleepy, beautiful trancey affair.

It is also one of the best tracks Mental Cube (aka Future Sound of London) ever made imho.

The flyer comes from a huge event from Vision established in 89, and along with the Tribal/ Universe/Fantazia events, these were a pre-cursor to the festival dance events we see today such as Global Gathering and Creamfields.

Chooon!!!

In Your Dance

FGC from 1994 along with this flyer.
Maximes, for those who don't know, was another club in Wigan where they used bang out the old skool vibes. Many an enjoyable evening was spent within it walls.
It was a proper classy joint including sticky carpets, lol. Oh the memories.

'Ahhh yeah, yeah...
Woohoohoooo!!! Yeah!!!'

R-Theme

Wow... What a FGC and a half this is. Back to 89 for this one. It's a collaboration between Daryl Wynn and Derrick May which is just ace.

If you don't know it then check it out and enjoy.

Woohoo!!!

Hypnosis

Here's a flyer for 'Dreaming A Dream' from Wigan Pier circa 92. I had some amazing nights over there with the old skool massive larging it, lol.
It was such an exciting time for me as a young man going out and discovering new clubs, music, people and experiences.
This FGC was originally released in 1990 but this is the superb SL2 remix from 92.

C'mon!!!

I've Got The Real Feel

I dug out some flyers from my old stomping grounds the other day which I've scanned and will share with you all. Hopefully they'll bring back some happy memories for you as they do for me.
Here's a FGC from 92 and it's superb track with all the right ingredients to smash any dancefloor with its uplifting piano and oldskool rave groove.

'Hey, I got the real feel.'

Fookin right... Chooon!!!

Let's go back to 91 again. This, again, is simply awesome stuff. Very atmospheric.

Another FGC I remember Sasha hammering.

Woohoo!!!

Sexy Lady

Whilst were on 2010 here's another recent track. I really like the way this one grooves and chugs along.

'Let's get this party started.
Sexy lady, going crazy
Got that rhythm, come on baby,
Get down.'

Respect

This one goes out to Reffa. Respect fella.

You've helped me out finding some FGC and I've really enjoyed the mixes you've posted in the chat box. That last one was right up my street and and when this classic dropped I thought I'd post a tasty 2010 update. Check it out.
