Considering the somewhat dire climate dance music is currently in (I have to say, 2008 has been a shocker!), what better time is there then to look back on the classics from yester-year.

 

The theme is to share those tracks from years gone by (ideally, pre 2002 atleast), but the lesser known tracks, those hidden gems you still adore to this day (so please, no Faithless, N-Trance, Baby D, ATB, Energy 52 etc).

 

My first choice is Afro Medusa 'Pasilda'. If memory serves, this is sung completely in Portugeuse! A minor hit in 2000, when Knee Deep supplied the remix and created that thunderous piano breakdown! Still a great track, hasn't been overly exposed, so still sounds fresh and especially when exposed to direct sunlight!

Basstoy "Runnin" is a titantic sized choon! LOVE that riff, I can't not move to that when I hear it (which doesn't happen often, sadly...). Cevin Fisher 'Freaks' is also a bloody great track aswell.

 

Skizzo, will more than agree with you on Solid Sessions 'Janeiro', along with 'Nights of the Jaguar'. I remember Radio 1 hammering that to death at the time, but it flopped big time if I remember rightly.

Radio 1 A-listed it for ages in 2000, but it flopped in favour of other dance songs at the time (which were loads). Its still a huge club hit over here

Loving some of the songs you guys listed, especially Afro Medusa and DT8 Project.

 

I want to add to the long never-ending list:

 

Stellar Project feat. Brandi Emma - Get Up Stand Up

Jaydee - Plastic Dreams

Junior Jack feat. Robert Smith - Da Hype

Basement Jaxx feat. JC Chasez - Plug It In

Oceanlab - Satellite

Agree with all of these. Outstanding :heart:

One that comes to mind is 'Santa Maria' by Tatjana - one of the most summery, uplifting tracks ever made! It was released in 1995 but excluded from the chart due to allegations of bulk-buying, but when they were cleared it was re-issued and just sneaked in the top 40.

 

Samantha Fox did a version of it a few years later which charted slightly higher, but the original's best!
