PLAY		YOUR LOVE - FRANKIE KNUCKLES - TRAX (TRAXT3)	DOWNLOAD
			On the mighty trax label later to become synonimous with acid house Frankie Knuckles brings us one of the all time house anthems. Completely ripped later for the big dance floor hit You got the Love by Candi Staton - all they changed was the vocals. Along with Tod Terry Frankie Knuckles is one of the all time house legends.

	PLAY		CAN YOU PARTY - ROYAL HOUSE - CHAMPION (CHAMP12-79)	DOWNLOAD
			Under the name Royal House this is produced by Toddy Terry the god of house music, innovator and creator right from the very beginning and still going strong. This is one of his best early pieces IMO. Strange to think that he produced black out in 2000 a deep and dark drum and bass tune - a man of many talents.

	PLAY		GIVE ME A SIGN - INDEX - EXIT RECORDS (LIN030765)	DOWNLOAD
			I love the driving b line under this tune - everything else about the tune is pretty soft, the vocals are smooth and uplifting - but the is Phat. Don't know if you can see from the scan but the label and the cover have a man running man on them - wtf that's all about I don't know. Produced by Komix and Len Grant, mixed by Linden C.

	PLAY		SUENO LATINO - SUENO LATINO - BCM (BCM323X)	DOWNLOAD
			This is a massive tune this one. A really smooth and uplifting tune, cleverly produced with a seamless, rolling progression throughout the tunes. Tore up the place espcially in Ibiza, like it says on the tin its got a very latin feel, I'm pretty sure this came out of Italy originally. Also check the jungle bird noises that seem to feature in a lot of later tunes.

	PLAY		SALSA HOUSE - RICHIE RICH - FFRR (FXDJ113)	DOWNLOAD
			A great piano riff makes this tune. I'm sure I've heard it on an old hip tune as well will have to check it out and see who ripped who. Bits of this tune were also ripped and used in Different Stokes by Isotonik (Ellis Dee) in 1991. A great tune although the guy who sounds like he's got hiccups thoughout the tune can get a bit annoying.

	PLAY		PROMISED LAND - JOE SMOOTH - DJ INT'L (DJINT6)	DOWNLOAD
			More top tuneage from Joe Smooth with vocals from Antony Thomas. This tune has got to have some of the best vocals in a house tune ever, they never fail to pick me up whatever mood I'm in - "let us walk hand in hand, sisters brothers, we'll take you to the promised land". This immediately got covered by some shite pop band.

	PLAY		AIRPORT 89 - WOOD ALLEN - BCM (BCM326X)	DOWNLOAD
			More obscure underground stuff this time - the club mix of airport 89. Wood Allen is Limoni, Davoli and Semplici - as to who they are, me have no clues what so ever. A lot of good stuff came out on the BCM label which is rather unspectacularly actually called Brian Carter Music, best stick to BCM I think.

	PLAY		WELCOME - GINO LATINO - HARBOUR LIGHT (HL1006)	DOWNLOAD
			This is produced by another group of very Italian sounding names (Jovanotti, Cecchetto,Cersosimo) although released on the New York based Harbour Light label. I guess the vocals to this say it all "House music all night long". This tune has a quite unique feel to it, electro house cross over? (or am I just making this up?)

	PLAY		BREAK 4 LOVE - RAZE - CHAMPION (CHAMP12228)	DOWNLOAD
			Break 4 love is one of the all time classic house tunes. Released on Champion which was right up thier as a leading UK label, the label was based in Harlesden NW10 just up the road from me (NW10 a hot bed of musical talent - including Production House - lol). The vocals, the main feature of the tune - are by The Sec of Ent?????

	PLAY		RICH IN PARADISE - FBI PROJECT - RUMOUR (RUMAT9)	DOWNLOAD
			More great piano riffs in this tune along with a wicked little scratching noise. All that coupled with the Whoa yeah vocals from Kid and Play it takes 2 and this is a winning tune. This is another tune from Italy which was quite a power plant of early piano based house music - where there music scene went after that I don't know - to peak with black box is kinda of sad.
