deep house , what can I can say, such a sexy vocal…”sex appeal” and out of the plentiful mixes around at the time the murk strikes again was and still is my favourite…loved this label btw…possibly the first label I obsessed over.

Progressive Trance , this is top 5 of all time for me…till this day whenever I hear it,…..it rocks me every single time…this a real barn burner …top top track.

Techno/Big Beat , I have fond memories of this piece of vinyl when it seemed I was the only one to have it in Melbourne …it would obliterate dance floors , my go to atomic weapon and became a real signature tune for me at a club called Sub-Club in the early noughties.

Yay…not too late to add some!

Title: Stand By Me (Jumpin’ Dub)
Artist: Julian “Jumpin” Perez featuring Valentino
Label: DJ International

Genre(s): House
Year released: 1988

At first listen, you would think this is just a sample of Kraze’s anthem “The Party”, but the Jumpin’ Dub became an instant hit all over Chicago when this vinyl came out…even more than the straightforward vocal house sound of the original version. It’s one of my all-time favorite old school anthems.

Here’s one of the tunes that educated me on trance after I experienced “Insomnia” by Faithless:

Title: Rock Da Beat
Artist: Electric Fruit Orchestra
Label: La Maison Grande

Genre(s): Trance
Year released: 1997

I mentioned Faithless, as it was the first time I had been enlightened by the sound of trance. In the late 90s, I had started frequenting a night in a large Chicago club that dabbled in happy house, techno, and these new sounds of trance that had only been known to ravers for so many years. The resident DJ had worked in a local record shop, and I would dig through her section, usually favoring tunes that carried that Faithless vibe. The La Maison Grande label fulfilled much of that need.

Electric Fruit Orchestra were a trio of German producers who went by many aliases, but I picked up much of their releases as EFO. Even listening to this tune now brought back so many memories… always a good thing. It is interesting how trance sounded in the 90s versus today.

One more to celebrate the diversity of the 90s:

Title: Echo Chamber
Artist: Beats International
Label: Go! Discs

Genre(s): Reggae, Dub, Leftfield
Year released: 1991

I’ll admit I totally missed this one in 1991, but fell for it much later. When electro house was blowing up (before the EDM explosion), I had become a big fan of Fatboy Slim’s style of blending electro house, breaks, and big beat. I ended up picking up a compilation of tunes he produced or remixed, among them some of his work as part of the group Beats International. I just liked that distinctly British acid sound in this tune. While I never DJed with Echo Chamber, it’s a favorite on my own personal shuffle playlist.
