    I played the original from War a lot back in the 80s.
    But this is an excellent cover, which I like even more than the orginal from War.

    Was listing to an old school mix I did and it made me want to share this one:

    Title: Keep Groovin’
    Artist: T.D.C.
    Label: PWL America

    Genre(s): House, Hip-House
    Year released: 1990

    While Chicago has been more known for hip-house, NYC did have a few good rappers lending their talents to the sound. With the group name meaning “Totally Damaging Competition”, the trio of Kool Mel, Kurt Alert, and K. Smooth only made their fame with Keep Groovin’, despite a follow-up that never went far.

    For me, I mainly remember one night when local Chicago TV personality Jerry Bryant took over a UHF station for one evening and played dance music videos for a few hours, mixed like a DJ would. Bear in mind this was long before the DVDJ or any kind of actual DJ video gear. Plus Bryant had been more known for rock and alternative on his mainstay show, JBTV.

    I just liked the flow and movement of Keep Groovin’. Loved it so much that it was among the first records I bought when I got serious about DJing in the early 90s. Still one of my favorite old school anthems.

    This one was a surprise when I first heard it, as it didn’t sound like most of the house I was being exposed to in the early 90s:

    Title: Waterfall
    Artist: Atlantic Ocean
    Label: Pegasus

    Genre(s): House, Trance, Progressive House, Happy House
    Year released: 1993

    I remember when a DJ mentor I had pulled this one up. He had been going to college in central Illinois and thus connected himself more to the European dance music scene through various sources. He called this kind of music “Happy House”, but you can see it’s more the early sound of trance in it. I just liked its positivity, energy, and how different it was from much of what I had been hearing at the time.

    Atlantic Ocean is a Dutch duo of producers Lex van Coeverden and Rene van der Weyde. They had a few hits in the 90s, but Waterfall remains their most popular track, usually being pulled into many European old school compilations. Many have tried making modern remixes of this tune, but I always felt they failed to capture the magic the original had.
