Supernature was one that sits right in that boundary between disco and house and was a hit twice for sure but there are others I can’t remember. Cerrone was probably one of the first DJs that had hits in their own right that I remember – a much as I remember any of it 🙂 I couldn’t find the mixes I wanted tho.
Gorgio Moroder did some fabulous stuff and it was great Daft punk recognised him on random access memories
As someone mentioned breakbeat earlier on the thread, this just popped up on one of my playlists. A top notch Freestylers tune from a couple of years ago. Breaks with a very house feel to it and quite different from the old Freestylers stuff (which is still bloody brilliant!)
I must admit to liking this,
Mory Kante – Yeke Yeke;
That was good. Hardfloor had the big build up 303 down to a tee. Much more effective than more recent EDM ‘big drop’ dross.
A couple of other slightly formulaic but very effective remixes of theirs I liked,
Hot like the sun and wet like the rain.. the ultimate seduction
Is it time for the after party yet? some nice ambient / chillout music?
Any reason to post what’s probably my favourite electronic record of all time. I could lie back and drift to this or groove along to it popping speakers in a club. A genius track.
And one that always tugs at the heartstrings of nostalgia – so beautiful.
Saw Orbital live when they had this and Belinda Carlisle mixed over the top. Oddly good. Later they did it with added Bon Jovi, not so sure about that.
For anyone in the central belt , MFSB are doing an afternoon club with guest DJ and PA Robert Owens on March the 4th. Great wee venue and a friendly older crowd. Robert Owens
A NW club backroom classic with a follow-up that was just as good
Positive as you like..
Love the comments on youtube under these old classics. There’s a great article about that – https://www.vice.com/en/article/8gvy7a/rave-video-comments-will-restore-your-faith-in-humanity “If these comments are true—and why would you doubt that they are?—going out in those days was about unity and euphoria rather than wearing T-shirts that define your pecs and trying to compete in some kind of Moet-pissing competition. Maybe these comments comprise a history lesson that modern clubbers would do well to heed.”

Me too! If I find a ‘topic’ video with comments disabled I’ll look for another with comments. Have created a rave playlist trying to find as many of the tracks I played to death on cassette as I can.
Young people saying they weren’t born when track was released in 91/92 but they love it, or comments from people who shed light on the producers etc, opening up a whole avenue of investigation and suddenly finding other tracks I’d forgotten about.
Loving the variety in here. Still unsure what I’d class as house music – definitely not that High Contrast remix of Adele above (even though it’s an absolute banger of a D&B track though, as is their whole ‘Confidential’ album).
This is more at the disco/house end of what I generally listen to:
