”Everything” - DJ Professor
Heartbeat
1992
Produced by Gianfranco Bortolotti – Remix artist DJ Professor takes the 49er’s house track and remixes with a trance-like feel.



”Are You Ready” / ”Never” - Center Stage
Prelude Records
1980
Produced by Christine Wiltshire - Exciting full-on disco production from 1980 produced by Christine Wiltshire, vocalist from Phreek, Musique and Poussez! “Are You Ready” is the closet to the latter part of disco magic.



“Free To Be” – Gioia
Gioia Inc
2001
This one is one of the best from the millinenum dance period – featuring Gioia from the 80’s band, Expose. She became a club sensation during this time with “Free To Be” – it is still a great dance track and outlines a wonderful ominous keyboard arrangement.

”Good Vibrations (Havin' Fun)” - Those Guys
First Choice
1993
Produced, arranged and mixed by The Basement Boys – I have included the “Classic Club Mix” and “Deep Dub Mix” to give you an ear-full of just what The Basement Boys was all about. They created some great underground tracks that pulled a whole new emphasis on dance music during the early 90’s – they are it!



”In The Year 2525” – The Act Feat. Clinton III
ZYX Music
1992
Produced by OPT and The Wild Boys – Bringing back the sound of Haddaway’s “What Is Love” genre along with a pop classic from 1969 by Zager and Evans. I have included the “1992 Mix” and “Club Mix”.



“Scandalous” - 2 Puerto Ricans, A Blackman And A Dominican
Capitol Records
1989
Written, produced, mixed and arranged by Robert Clivelles and David Cole for Cole/Clivilles - House fun with C&C Music Factory developers with a touch of ecstasy and lots of pump!

”Stand By Me” (Dance Mix) - Jam Tronik
ZYX Music
1992
Produced by Charlie Glas – Clever version featuring beats from Raze’s “Break 4 Love” and vocals that are similar to Kim Carnes – this one was another favorite of mine that I closed the club with many nights.


”The Only One” - State Of Mind
Next Plateau Records Inc.
1992
Produced and arranged by Lee Rodriguez and Steven C – Another early disco-fied house track using Loleatta Holloway’s “Love Sensation” again as the sampled vocals.

”Waterfall” - Atlantic Ocean
Eastern Bloc Records
1993
Produced by Van Coeverden and V/D Weyde – ambient dance track with a great techno feel.



“Weekend” - DJ Dick
TSR Records
1991
Produced, written by DJ Dick, Klaus Jankuhn and WestBam - early techno track with manic feel. Early forerunner in the techno period. Classic among many ravers.
