Classic anthem by Bruno Sanchioni, ⅓ of B.B.E ("7 Days and 1 Week"... which you can very easily tell if you play the 2 back2back)& Giuseppe Chierchia, a guy better known for that much sampled disco tune (the one in "Getting Jiggy With it" and "Don't call me Baby"... Ring a bell? Don't ask how I know that ... just... don't ok? ???).
Classed as *"the first trance tune ever made",* which it pretty much is, from way back in 1990. It sounded great then; great in 1992 when Jam & Spoon 's "Watch out for Stella" remix updated for the millions of new ravers (which I included because many ravers aren't aware that's not the original version), it's been great all the times it's been remixed, whether the old skool or the new versions (the only thing out of sync is the description of THIS Particular "age".
More "the age that needs love".

3. OPM remix
4. Boeng remix
Mark Skelton (no relation to Les...so they claim haha!) a more technical DJ. I'm officially on a bittersweet Niche Nostalgia-fest...And it's led me to this gem of a tune I've been searching for at about 48:00 I only heard it 3 times in my life 1996-2000, whenever I asked it was "IGA feeling" or more informatively "White label" by "Unknown". I apologize for the sound quality in the others, this ain't bad & the Danny Walker mix sounds great .
Harthouse, sub label of Sven Vath's Eye-Q recordings, that delivered the most cutting edge, acidic, intelligent, deep, and hard trance throughout the 90's. The only thing that would make this compilation series better is if it was mixed. But then again, being un-mixed made it a must for DJ's collecting this superb series on vinyl.

4 tracker from Wildchild's Classic series if E.P's, I think this is a remix of "Can I get a 'ho", those rave stabs almost out of place, yet somehow not. The other 3 trax are all so deep, dark & funky, with ideally used vocal samples it's hard to pick a winner, "Find a Way" & "Wanna Do Right" maybe joint 1st, with their Murk inspired depth & toughness.
Find A Way
Open Up
Can I Get A Ho
Wanna Do Right
Just a little something for the followers since I've not been as active for the past week, and this week is shaping up to be another with zero free time.
So a super old skool EP from Detroit Techno Godfather Derrick May, the lesser known but imo far better, follow up to "Strings of Life". "It Is What It Is" laced with funky acid, warm deep symphonic strings, & catchy bassline, as simple and effective as it comes. "Feel Surreal" is good too, but "Beyond Dance", is the clearcut winner by copious orders of magnitude...Let me know if you want more late 80's House & Techno, I try to include all eras & genres from '88 onwards but possibly neglect some more than others due to the "back in my day" bias lol!
1. It Is What It Is (Majestic Mix)
2. Feel Surreal (Subconscious Mix)
3. Beyond The Dance (Bizarro Mix)
