    In the early 80s a suprisingly slow beat became a mega banger in the clubs (called discotheques back then).
    Its an all time classic and still give me goosebumps when played on an high quality PA.

    Another classic from the early 90s with those lyrics that stick with me forever
    “The judgment: if it were to fall upon you today which flower would you be The Red Rose or The Black This is the warning”

    This was one of my favorites when it came out (’84). Both the 7″ and the 12″ were great for playing around with.

    I’m tossing in a goodie from the late 90s.

    Title: Can’t Get Enough (Jazz N Groove Nu Disco Vocal)
    Artist: Soulsearcher
    Label: Seems to be on a plethora of labels

    Genre(s): Smooth funky vocal house
    Year Released: 1998

    Most DJs I’ve known usually pump the Original Vocal Mix, but I personally love the Jazz N Groove version for how smooth it was. Such a great clubby urban sound that carries you from start to finish.

    Gerd, you ever hear the cover of Moments In Love by Noise Maker? Very cool uptempo version if you ever want to drop it. Also on Strictly Rhythm. The Logic tune reminds me of Photon, Inc. Just amazing how many hidden gems one could still find on SR’s archive.

    Pretty cool tune Vintage. It’s so 80s.

    Seeing as no one else has added, I’ll toss in a second. A polar opposite of my first:

    Title: Kooler Than Jesus
    Artist: My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult
    Label: Wax Trax

    Genre(s): Industrial, Electronic Body Music (EBM)
    Year Released: 1989

    Let’s see, how could I best describe this? Well, back in the late 80s when the UK was awash in E and much of Chicago was partying to the sounds of house and hip-house, there was this little subset niche of a scene that was an amalgamation of house, Detroit techno, new wave, varied forms of NRG, and of course, industrial. The infamous nightclub Medusa’s and it’s surrounding scene was the focal point of all this.

    My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult was a group based out of Chicago who, like many Industrial/EBM acts, would marry the notions of rock with electronic music. Kooler Than Jesus is a cult classic for Chicago, despite how their later single Sex On Wheels garnered TKK mainstream fame. I know that it seems whenever I drop my now coveted single anywhere in Chicago, the crowd simply goes crazy. That beat and bassline is just hard to resist.

    Ok, I got another one. It was one of my ‘secret weapons’ back in the 80s and it always worked. The crowd went crazy.
    But I have to warn you. Very explicit language is used.

    Hi Guys,

    here’s one of my other classics.
    i mentioned it on Tuesday last week already.
    cool song, still have the single lying around somewhere..
    crazy amount of remixes as well, some good, some splendid.

    Title: Good Life
    Artist: Inner City
    Label: Virgin
    Genre: eeeh, 80’s dance?
    Year Released: 1989

    here’s the link:

    Gerd…wow. Gangsta rap before its time.

    Snake, I’ve seen Good Life deemed as House and then as Detroit Techno. I think even the founders of Detroit Techno never really even thought of themselves as “something different”, but more wanted to make their take on Chicago House.

    In any case, it’s an anthem. Still love that tune to death. 🙂
