Dilated Choonz: houseDilated Choonz is brought to you by the Dilate and P*Soul crews - an international collective of music-lovers and friends who (in one form or another) have been putting on parties since 1998. Expect to enjoy many different styles of all good music.Classic, maybe a little bit cheesey, house 3- April 30, 2008 Black Sheep &8211; Strobelight Honey (Morales Def Mix -Joey Negro re-edit) The final in my mildly cheesy triumverate of assorted housiness from yesteryear, and on that brings us full circle from Frankie and Dave, to Frankie and then back to Dave again. Ah, the much maligned and somewhat short-lived, hip-house genre &8211; I never knew why it has been retrospectively re-touched out of the picture of house history, although maybe this is one of the better offerings.. And yes, he&8217;s...http://dilate.choonz.com/index.php?id=1607 Completely Cheesy House- April 26, 2008 Ce Ce Peniston &8211; Finally (12&8221; Choice Mix) Following Kevvk K&8217;s posting of The Pressure I can&8217;t resist coming with these two which slot nicely into the cheesy house theme. The Pressure is inextricably linked in my mind with these two tracks, which I had on the same tape. First up we have the David Morales mix of Finally. This is a true classic. It&8217;s impossible not to sing along and share Ce Ce&8217;s joy at meeting Mr. Right, and just check the amazing piano...http://dilate.choonz.com/index.php?id=1611 More Completely Cheesy House- April 26, 2008 Kym Sims &8211; Too Blind To See It (Hurley&8217;s House Mix) Produced by Steve &8220;Silk&8221; Hurley and released in 1991 (the same year as Finally), right from the opening piano chords you know this is cheese of the highest order. I know someone who thinks this is the worst record ever made. Listening to the rap that kicks off at about 2.30 I can almost see where he&8217;s coming from, but somehow the pianos and Kym&8217;s great vocal save it for me.

This is another classic Frankie Knuckles remix of a classic house tune from 1992.. I love the lazy, soulful intro, the boompty beat when it kicks in, and the uplifting gospel vocals. Like the Alison Limerick tune, it encapsulates that sort...http://dilate.choonz.com/index.php?id=1596 Classic, maybe a little bit cheesey, house 1- April 23, 2008 Alison Limerick &8211; Where Love Lives (12 Inch Classic Mix) This is something I had intended to post during the Double K&8217;s piano-house week but never got round to. The chunky piano chords of the intro are guaranteed to have me hauling my meaty blarts on the floor quick time.. almost twenty years old, and still sounding pretty daisy fresh to these jaded ears. I actually have a couple of older housey, not necessarily so piano-fuelled things I may take the opportunity to post with...http://dilate.choonz.com/index.php?id=1595 |
