JAY DOBIE - ALL TIME TOP 10<br />
Hysterix – Talk To Me<br />
(Sasha's Full Music Master) (1993)-<br />
[Deconstruction]<br />
The perfect example of a remix. If you've heard the<br />
original you'll know what I'm talking about. This still stands<br />
the test of time today, beautifully engineered alongside Tom<br />
Frederikse and of all the early nineties remixes he put his<br />
name to its easily the best. I was lucky enough to catch this<br />
on the dance floor at Renaissance when it was based in<br />
Mansfield. Truly magical experience.<br />
Harry Lemon – Tiga (2005)- [Bandung]<br />
I would never be able to put together a group of<br />
tracks without mentioning a production from Harry. Its<br />
difficult to pick a particular track as he has the uncanny<br />
knack of being able to sprinkle magic on just about every<br />
production. Tiga is a track of two halves, a different take on<br />
the same track both by Harry. Ive opted for the Lemon8 mix<br />
as Ive personally decimated dance floors with this version. I<br />
got friendly with Harry over the whole lockdown period and<br />
we collaborated on several live streams during the lockdown<br />
period. There are not many individuals in this game that can<br />
DJ to his standard and find their way around a production<br />
suite so effortlessly.<br />
Second Chance – In Paradise (1990)-<br />
[Music Man Records]<br />
Big Frank De Wulf fan. Whenever I get asked about<br />
tracks and artists that I feel inspired and influenced the<br />
sound that went on to be described as progressive house I<br />
always mention FDW. This particular b-side is a personal<br />
favourite that samples Linda Hayden – Thats my Paradise,<br />
also a big fan of Magic Orchestra and the first B-Sides<br />
release which features Compression.<br />
Finger Light – Heaven (1993)- [OUT]<br />
Italian classic on Discomagic UK licenced from<br />
OUT which is a super rare 12” these days. Its short<br />
and sweet but manages to capture the early nineties<br />
brilliantly with its its epic prog piano production.<br />
Features a melody cover from an Alan Parsons Project<br />
track and a vocal sample from Jocelyn Brown.<br />
Thelma Houston – Throw You Down (Down<br />
For The Count Dub) (1990) - [Reprise<br />
Records]<br />
Back in 1990 I discovered Tommy Musto and<br />
Frankie Bones, combined they worked under the moniker<br />
Musto & Bones and released a selection of house cuts at a<br />
time when the hardcore thing was going on, By 1991 Im<br />
pretty sure they went there separate ways after the PCP<br />
track 'People Can Dance' which has that mad infectious riff<br />
running through it.What they did with this Thelma Houston<br />
track is stunning and another I got to experience in the wild<br />
at The Eclipse in Coventry, hugely uplifting with a thumping<br />
bassline and gated chords it builds up to this amazing drop<br />
with pianos which back then would stick me to the roof.
