Haha what an eclectic mix of tunes inside one genre so far! I listened to all these on my commute, absolutely banging.
Here’s another whopper, I defy you not to have at least one part of your body moving to the beat whilst listening to this! 😉

I’d finished my raving/clubbing by 92 so my fav tunes are from 90 – 92.

Anyone go here….
Njoi @ Quadrant Park

Love the nostalgia of this thread, even some new tunes to me.

There are times I wish I’d learned the art of DJing, this being one of them to do an STW classic house mix.

No, but I was at uni with a lad who was a regular 90-92 and and it sounded amazing, had a quality tape collection and taste in tunes. And that clip’s so good!

Another classic.

The 7 minute mix on YouTube is how it should be of course.

I love house music and it contains lots of memories of good time.  Only issue the memories don’t include many names of tracks.  I suspect some of you were not trying hard enough if you can remember names 🙂

Also I can never keep track of all the sub genres 🙂

You know when somebody does a retro cover of a classic tune and manages to pull it off… In this case Joe Smooth’s Promised land.
Not too bad imo

That would fit right in on Jools Hogmanay… nice enough to hear once, don’t see the point though. Original has so much more humanity squeezed into it. So much hope. Proper leave your troubles behind as you hit the dance floor vibes. That cover evokes very little in comparison.

Brothers! Sisters!

You’ve got have balls to try it though.
I listened to the original not so long ago and nostalgia asides, it didn’t have the oomph that it once had. I wonder why? 😆

You need bigger speakers. 😉

And few hundred hot people with their hands in the air.

Promised Land… Legends Warrington.

Original has so much more humanity squeezed into it. So much hope.

+1 for the original. A stand-out tune.

Along those lines this is a more recent-ish remix not the original, but it’s a good one. The original was another tune from Legends days.

Very good, but they’ve only rewound it a few years to disco (and to be picky, it doesn’t need the Moroder bassline that comes in just before 3mins IMO).

Was hoping for a Motown-style version.

Another Legends anthem and a great cover.
Was a long time before I realised it had a full 4 1/2 mins before the sample and the 2nd part that got played out in the club.

Cool, and deadly!

Oh, if we’re looking at “updates”… Foxbase Beta is essential. The whole album touched up by Richard X.

Spotify Album

Legends again, downtempo classics. Didn’t know what to make of it when I first went there because it was so much lower BPM than most places. Loved it in the end.

Some good memories here….

Legends, Quadrant Park.. Happy days.

I started in 89 with the Blackburn Warehouse parties then migrated to clubs… Shaboo, Shelleys, Hacketts, Monroes, Zone.. the NW rave scene was immense.

Didn’t know what to make of it when I first went there because it was so much lower BPM than most places.

Classic Gay Traitor (downstairs at the Haç) track that one.

EDIT: That 808 State track even more so!

FPI Project!
Classics.

Rich In Paradise too. Legends used to play the Richie Haven’s version, such a tune and way ahead of it’s time. That club introduced me to so much great music beyond the house rave and techno of the times.
I have a well-looked after Legends tape with Sister Sledge ‘We Are Family’ dropping onto the end of Back to My Roots, straight cut, perfect timing.

And Brass Disc, classic that was over so many tracks, Daz Willot used it a lot. Like Chuck Roberts.. “In the beginning there was Jack”
Sampled on so many tunes. Used to go nuts for this one –

I was a bit late, 1995 ish.
Liquid, Sweet Harmony

And, a bit cheesy, but Set U Free by N-trance

Or, even more;

The Joey Beltram and Laurent garnier tunes are monsters!
How about a bit of Bizarre Inc!

Woo, that downtempo stuff is weird, I just cannot get motivated by it. You must come out of a rave feeling refreshed, lol.

Thanks for sharing though, never heard any of that before.

JX – Son of a Gun! TUNE!

They used to play that tune at the night I went to (life@Bowlers) and I loved it.

One week we travelled all the way into Manchester from Barrow and that tune was on the shopping list and I did manage to buy it.

2 weeks later it came out as a single and I could bought have the CD single in Woolworths!

yea, saw JX live in Blackpool, 1997.
Another tune, I love – Greece 2000 by Three Drives:

Love the way it fades away, then comes back even harder. Dynamite!
Also, more recent, I’m quite liking the Hideaway/Kiesza video:

Top choreography

On the subject of choreography, this is hilarious. Utah Saints – Something Good:

I heard Bowlers was amazing but I was a classical brass player back then!

Being a Southerner, it was hard as a kid to choose what music to follow, Metal, pop, rock, dance rave etc….
So we just went to what ever was on each weekend.
About the only one that sticks in my memory is Slo Moshun, Bells of New York 🙂
Then I moved to Holland and forgot everything!!! LOL

Lovin that utah saints remix, couple more to keep the party going;

This used to pop up occasionally at raves, even before Corporation of One stuck that Queen sample on top of it.

Liam Howlett did his best work trying to sound like this 😉

This requires no comment whatsoever!

@jameso – nice to see another Legends regular. I loved that place

Have you read the Vice article

The Small Town Nightclub That Quietly Changed British Clubbing Forever

And let’s have another absolute banger

I’m really enjoying this thread, so many tunes that I’d forgotten about but instantly remember! 😄

How about this oldie….? Bass Construction “check how we jam”

Young Marco destroyed Dekmantel festival last year with this, its been living in my head ever since…you have been warned.

Well, someone had to post this
A Guy called Gerald – Voodoo Ray:

I seem to be stuck in 1991 tonight!

1991 was a bloody good year though…

😃

Wheeling out the big guns
Awesome 3 – Don’t Go:

A Wigan Pier classic…

Gentlemen strap yourselves in.

Candi Staton

Paying homage

Forgot this classic.

Is this house or acid? LOL!

Neither sounds like Techno to me.

1988, I’m fourteen. I’m catastrophically unfashionable, but this:

Summer 1990, I’d finished my GCSEs. At a house party full of metallers:

Nothing made sense.
1983. I have the coolest big brother going. This is what he’s playing on his turntable:
