Big Fun. So much energy and memories in this song by Kevin Saunderson's project Inner City released on KMS / 10 Records / Virgin Records in 1988.

The 12" btw. can be heard in the end of the 2nd hour of my Classic House Special for Deeper Shades of House show #100.

While checking out Discogs for the usual link for more info on the record, I came across this great review with a lot of inside by Alain Patrick.

This right here is House before it was called House. 1985 - MCA Records, Colonel Abrams was 'Trapped' and all over the Radio singing how he's confused. Anything but, I would say. And yes, if the gig's the bomb, I pull this song out every once in a while. Sweetness... btw. the Colonel never stopped being active in House Music. I have quite a few 12"s in my collection.

More info as always on discogs.com. Check out the flipside. Two mixes by Timmy Regisford (Shelter, NYC).

h yeah. If you are ever in a bad mood and just can't get out of it, watch this video and things will get better. Frankie Knuckles' "Whistle Song" was released on Virgin Records in 1991 and swept the nation (the US that is). Soon after, this gem - written by Eric Kupper - could be heard in every club all over the world and is still guaranteed to put wide smiles on peoples faces. I believe there were new mixes or edits about 2 years ago, but I'm still sticking with the original mixes. Thank you Frankie!

This song can also be heard on the Deeper Shades of House Classic Special #100 . More info as always on discogs.com.

Masters at Work ft. India. In my eyes a magic connection of a great production team and singer with a very distinctive voice. "I can't get no sleep" was originally released on Cutting Records in 1993 but very soon licensed to many labels and then brought back in '95 with several new versions. This is one of those tunes that makes me wanna go out at night.

More info on the song can be found on discogs.com .

Time for another classic house music video. Lil' Louis & The World - Club Lonely released 1992 on Epic and licensed by FFRR in Europe. The amazing vocals are by Joi Cardwell (who later also sang for Towa Tei, Frankie Knuckles etc. and recently for Quentin Harris & Steal Vybe).

The intro of this song alone kills it everytime but if you hear the whole thing in the middle of a set you can't help but let loose on the dancefloor.

Thinking about it, I will definetely include this song in the classic house special for the upcoming 250th Deeper Shades of House show.

uju & Jordash are two very talented Deep House producers whose hometurf you'd expect to be Detroit rather than the Netherlands.
Their new 'Time Slip EP' is dropping soon on the british Real Soon label. This will be their second outing on this imprint after the Blue Plates EP. I've been bangin' (if you can call it that with tracks ranging from 101 to 108bpm) both tracks of this upcoming EP during the earlier parts of my sets and each time I hear them, they're sending me somewhere else.

Now they're doing what many more Deep House producers need to do - they've introduced a video for the title track of the EP, directed and edited by Finnish clip director Gnowp Ants.
