The best old-skool house comp ever ...

[kyser_soze]

Sweet Sensation by Shades of Rhythm was a corker.

The SOR album is full of corker tracks.

Just thought of another too, Brother in Rhythm Such a Good Feeling/Peace and Harmony (Sasha's remix)

 

[foo]

so are you going to put this comp together and send it out to interested urbanites NVP?

 

[starfish]

Have been YouTubing half the suggestions on here. Got a mini rave on in my lounge.

 

[Voley]

I'd say 'yes' but I'd never get round to it and then everyone would be pissed off with me.

Being honest, like.

Yeah, that does sound pretty good. I didn't know they were the same people.

All that dust masks and Vicks stuff was a load of bollocks, mind. Imo, of course.

Agreed. Wouldn't be right to exclude him.

That's really pretty good. Might have to do a bit of U-ey here.

 

[sam/phallocrat]

Introsepctive of House vol. 1 is quite good, not all of it is strictly 'old school' though

 

[fractionMan]

La Luna - Bang! To The Beat of the Drum (one of my top 10 all time favourite choons)

they were a joke

and to me the criteria for proper old skool house means pre-1992

which means half the tracks on this thread red-carded!

I'm going to add Doug Lazy's "Let It Roll"...

 

[fractionMan]

I'd forgotten about this one:

Thanks for all the recommendations, everyone - Soulseek's throwing up a few gems thanks to this thread.

'Ozone Breakdown' particularly. Had an 'aah, that's what this tune was called' moment with that one. Thanks, pk.

LOL no worries, spent many a night back in the day dancing 'the running man' to that one, it was made for it. Filthy tune.

Glad that Love Can't Turn Around was mentioned, I remember Daryll Pandy doing it on Top of the Pops in 1987, before the phrase 'house' was coined, I knew I loved it but never expected to love it quite as much as I ended up loving it.

Fuck, 22 years of caning it to house and techno...

 

[purplex]

Nitro Deluxe - This Brutal House
TC 1992 - Funky Guitar
Rhythm on the Loose - Break of Dawn

how did you work that out then? whilst we could argue all day long about pre-92 etc etc, even if you do set that as a benchmark, then i make it that almost everything on here was 92 or before.

I remember that - him rolling around on the floor and stuff.

Listening to a load of OldSkoolChoonz & my cats just attacked the dancing blue guy.
