Danny Tenaglia (circa '97 - '99)
Agree with that Dave. So many times I’ve thought of playing it when I am mixing on my vinyl and I just can’t bring myself to play it any more

Sure, familiarity breeds contempt and all that (not least Tim Deluxe/Love story) but it’s undeniably a proper HOUSE classic and great record. Tenaglia’s mix is perfect feel good vibes.

…that’s a PQM edit and is fantastic

jb_808 Sounds like a great night out, not often you see DJs on the dance floor. Cool tune.

His KOT mix shows the two sides of the same coin which made him unique for a time. Proper feel good house alongside, dark trIbal madness. Morales is the only other that can combine the light and shade to such good effect (with his red zone stuff) Morales though is still producing some top records.

I was going out clubbing frequently that year and I’m pretty sure I heard everyone from Dave Seaman to Kerri Chandler, and all points inbetween, play that track. Even heard it in my local shit Ritzy nightclub - not that mix though.
I don’t know the Tim Deluxe story, though.
I can’t listen to any of that “classic” house if I’m honest, certainly not any mixes anyway. I mixed with a crowd during those days who wouldn’t listen to anything else. Frankie Knuckles music all night. And they thought anything Prog related was low brow and would never last. Now they’re all bald, mortgaged up to their eyeballs and I’m about to tune into Nass lay them straight. Go figure.

The only dance music I can’t listen to ‘all night’ is drum n bass (can do about two hours - three if there’s a decent mc) and Swedish House Mafia style shite (can do about twenty seconds).
Never really seen a classic house/prog split. Most people I’ve hung around with in clubbing circles, from Cream to Fabric to Beijing days, have been as comfortable going to a classic house night as a techno night, so long as the music is decent.
LT42 I came in with Rave, moved on through proto-prog but always went to the house rooms at raves to “Chill Out”. Sunday mornings was always ceiling patrol listening to classic House but know what you mean about the snobbery of the original ‘heads’.
Bluebird Records used to stock Limbo back in the day and you’d go in there and they’d say “you don’t want more of that skag head shit, do you?”
I love listening to good classic house mixes, but struggle funnily enough with up to date House mixes.
In otherwords, I’m kinda glad there was a lockdown of sorts over Xmas as I would’ve been back at some house party listening to 30 different variations of Robert Owens - I’ll Be Your Friend.
Lol. That’s one record I never understood the hype around. I just don’t get it
I’ll be your, I’ll be your, I’ll be your, uh uh uh, I’ll be your….
Funny enough, I haven’t actually heard it in ages.
Never understood the snobbery of House. But it certainly existed. Like, don’t they realize to most people it all sounds the same? I love it as much as anyone but Joe Claussell isn’t exactly Beethoven here.
Lol Joe fucking Claussell. The biggest tool to ever step behind a set of decks
I think its an ‘originals’ problem. In the UK the 2nd wave of clubbers were Teds because they followed were people led. Almost stepping on their holy land they wanted to keep to themselves.
It was their secret.
I’m of the opinion that everyone has to start somewhere, just the journey is going to be different. Help them along the way, don’t give them shit as to how they start the journey. Eventually, you’ll all be on the same plain.
Lol, he’s a right old clown isn’t he.
Joe Claussell that is.
