These songs all take me back to my childhood when I first really got into dance music, I remember how big all of these songs were at the time and in my eyes these songs are so iconic when it comes to reflecting back on one of the greatest if not the greatest eras in Ibiza when it came to dance/trance music. This in my eyes was Ibiza at its best.
Graham…good picks. I always had a soft spot for that Safri Duo tune. Always fascinating to see when someone’s “classics” are not from the 70s, 80s, or 90s.
Gerd…you always have some interesting and obscure crate diggers. Very funky tune. Was this from the same album as when they covered Take Me to the River?
Graham is making me think of the late 90s, so I’ll pop this one on:
Title: Feeling For You Artist: Cassius Label: Virgin
Genre(s): House, French House Year Released: 1998
Ah, the late 90s. When France suddenly flooded the clubs with their own funky brand of simple, but sophisticated house. While Daft Punk is probably the biggest success story to come out of that time, Cassius made quite an impact on the deep house community with their album release 1999 and this wonderful single.
Cassius is made up of producers Philippe Zdar and Boom Bass. They actually started their work all the way back in 1988 with hip-hop, but increasingly became enamored with the growing electronic dance music scene that blossomed globally into the early 90s.
I honestly think their whole album 1999 is a work of art, but Feeling For You has always been my favorite single from it.
Yes that is an absolute classic D-JAM, nothing beats 90’s EDM for me.
Was thinking as well, it would be great to get more people involved in this, set an era/genre for the week and do an end of week mix around all the selections recommendations by everyone involved (if we were able to get these into a mix all in key!)
Not too sure what your thoughts on this would be or if it has been tried and tested before? May be a great way of getting all forum members/djs invovled in a great project!
Here’s another from that time when the Daft Punk sound was filling the scene:
Title: Popcorn (Likebutta Mix) Artist: The Boomtang Boys Label: Virgin
Genre(s): House Year Released: 1998
The Boomtang Boys are a Canadian remix group who mainly saw a lot of love in the late 90s with some of their remixes and reworkings of classic tunes like Hot Butta’s Popcorn.
I received a 12″ EP containing Popcorn back when I was in a record pool. While most DJs pumped the Euro-poppy Microwave Remix, I found the Likebutta Mix more appealing in it’s French/Daft Punk style of sound. It just had a good bounce that carried me.
