The Greatest Hit

Apologies for the quick post today, will be getting more up as the week goes on.

'The Greatest Hit' is a tune that sounds like it should have been made by Larry Levan or some other old disco guy, however it only came out in 2000. Perhaps its the cheeky Madonna sample but I can always find room for this in my disco sets. Here is the extended disco mix, dub and acapella so all you DJ's have no excuse but to do something great with it!

Annie-The Greatest Hit (Extended Disco Mix)

Annie-The Greatest Dub

Annie-The Greatest Hit (Acapella)

George Extended

'Give me the night' is a party/club/warmup staple that has pretty much never left my box. Here is a quick re-edit that I did to make it that bit easier to mix in and out of. George Benson-Give Me The Night (Rascale Extended Mix)

Where did they get that from?

House music has a long established tradition of sampling disco tunes. Anyone that knows me knows that I love old disco, so here are some choice cuts that have been sampled to great effect.

First up is this tune, which provided the memorable bass line (and therefor the whole tune) to Gusto's 'Disco's Revenge'

Harvey Mason-Groovin' You

Next a tune that saw Duane Harden (that dude that sang on that Armand Van Heldon track) telling someone he'd got what they had been looking for

Thelma Houston-I'm Here Again

Finally, Kid Creme used this tune to great effect for 'Austin's Groove'. All together now: 'We have the technology...we can rebuild him...stronger...better...faster....'

Sparkle-Handsome Man (Larry Levan Mix)

Hip-Hop was the element missing...

So that short lived movement known as 'Hip-House' is apparently back...and a good thing I say!!

First a classic. Perhaps THE Hip-House anthem:

Doug Lazy-Let The Rhythm Pump (Extended Vocal Mix)

Next up a more modern entry into this category. French wonders the Troublemen take on the Beatnuts classic 'Watch Out Now' (also knows as the beat J-Lo jacked for 'Jenny From The Block')




The Beatnuts-Watch Out Now (Troublemen Remix)

Finally a more novelty take on the Hip-House thing, but still guaranteed to fill a dancefloor at a party, definitely a guilty pleasure!

Double Trouble Feat. The Rebel MC-Street Tuff (12" Mix)

Big things start small...

So after a long time enjoying other peoples blogs, I thought it was about time i got my own going. So many people ask me to reccomend some music for them that I figured it would be easier if I could just tell them to go to one place. I will be posting some hot new tunes, many classics, remixes that I have done and the odd mix: The title at the top says it all really...

So to kick things off, here is one of my favourite jams in recent times. This tune works at all times, with all crowds. It is a great example of a remix taking a good tune, adding those extra touches and making it a classic! Enjoy!
