Fantazia presents The House Collection Volume 1

Product Information

Graham Park was bang on form on this one, Luvdup spinning some corkers and working those decks to the max. By late 1987, DJs like Paul Oakenfold and Danny Rampling were bringing the Ibiza sound to UK clubs like the Hacienda in Manchester, and in London clubs such as Shoom in Southwark, Heaven, Future and Spectrum.

It’s been a while since I listened to both of these discs back to back in full and it’s been an enjoyable couple of hours. Highlights for me are track 8 ‘Bumper’ a moody trance track that got a lot of car time, track 13 ‘Legends Of The Dark Part2’ the best remix of ‘Renegade Master’ ever! Jeremy is good for ,guts to do something different to most of the mix CDs around at that time by sticking his neck out with his experimental mixing style even if sometimes it didn't work out too well. These clubs, fueled by their distinctive sound and Ecstasy, began to have an influence on the British scene.

The Phoenix’ just because it has this big room filling sound, then opens up into a beach party all of its own, it’s like dark chocolate with a strawberry fondant centre. One of the earliest and most influential UK house and techno record labels was Network Records (otherwise known as Kool Kat records) who helped introduce Italian and U. Track 1-6 is Castle Trancelott - The Gloom until around 2:00, then the remainder of the track is 88. Track 1-5 is given as "Degrees of Passion (Bootleg Mix)" with a footnote crediting it as "Do You Want It Right Now (Biti-pella Mix)" by Degrees of Motion plus "Passio" [sic] by Gat Decor; it's almost (but not quite) identical to the commercially available "Do You Want It Right Now Mix" of Passion. Starting off with anything by Leftfield is OK in my book and from there things change direction so fast I can’t keep track, from vocal house with ‘Who Keeps Changing Your Mind’ to dub rap with ‘Pump Up The Volume’ to tech sounding ‘La Luna’ this is a rapid fire set if ever there was one!

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. P. • March 88 Previews • Soul Daze • The Guitar Dance EP • The House Sound Of Chicago - Megamix Vol.

His set builds and builds and most of the tracks on this are acknowledged house classics and would still rock a dancefloor today. The limited edition version originally came with a and spiky black PVC armband with the Fantazia Logo in the middle.
