Hey Mambo

Shaft - Mucho Mambo -Sway- (Eric Witlox Ft. Garuda)

Shaft & Eric stick the fun back in house music. There are tons of tracks like this and I confess, they get me every time. There is something grand about taking songs from a completely different era and slapping them in the face with a big hard bouncing house beat. This track has great energy, although I wish the vocal track had been worked in over the duration rather than just break the break downs.

You Don't Think You Pay? You Pay!

Zelma Davis - Free Love (Rafael M. Vocal Vibe Mix)

Several mixes of this track deliver but only Rafael's brings the dark dirty bass that is evident from the first note. Although this mix is a little less energetic than the (Barry Harris Club Mix), it's still my personal favorite.



Now speaking of Free Love, I'm, waiting for the day Daniel starts handing it out.

Let The Sunshine!

Denis The Menace Ft. Markus Binafl & Rachele - Sunshine In My Heart (Original Mix)

What do you get when you combine an iconic loop from the past, a simple catchy bass line, exceptional vocals and Denis The Menace? Well do yourself a favor and listen to this track to find out. I'll give you a hint... Sweet House Music.

Departure From Dance

Have you ever been at friends house and have them put on a record and in an instant you are like "What Is This?" I love finding little gems like this. That having been said, I'm roughly 20 years late discovering this gem in a sea of musical mediocrity.

If you have not already been acquainted, let me be the first to introduce you to STEREO TOTAL. A French German duo that has been churning out Atmospheric Punk Disco since the early nineties. This is some quirky super awesome stuff and I highly recommend it.

Below find a link to their 2007 recording Paris-Berlin. Don't be fooled there are many other records out there by this dynamic duo and a new one on the way. In addition is a youtube clip of their cover of "Drive My Car"

My Eyes They Can Look See

Analog People In A Digital World vs. Tim Deluxe Ft. Sam Obernik - Just Wont Do (ATFC & Warren Clarke Re-Vamp)

A touch of tribal combined with the original horn loops and vocals of Obernik really "WORK ME DAMN IT"!


Much like Chris Campanioni's ripped body.

This And That

Ralphi Rosario - Do This Thing (Ralphi's Soca Extended Mix)

Ralphi delivers again with this tribal bomb that contains vocal edits that remind me of early nineties bitch house.

Come On Do It

Nightrhymes Ft. Tasita D'mour - Keep On Pushing

Great vocal house! The original lends itself to mainstream soul/beach house sound. Then there is the Aaron Ross Vocal with it's deep bass and darker nature. Both versions are really good but I have to give the props to Ross. A real stand out in terms of proper deep/soul house.
