Episode 97 – Back to ’97 Mix

Paul @ Retro House Mixtape — Fri, 09 Oct 2020 17:00:00 +0000

1997 was a huge year for House Music. Big tunes were dominating the dance floors before going on to further dominate the airwaves of radio and tv. Ibiza Uncovered debuted on Sky TV and club culture went mainstream as a result. This episode is a mix of some of the bigger tunes from that year along with some lesser known bangers from 1997. There are also a few nuggets that I picked up whilst on holiday in Ibiza that year.

All of these were HOOJ (A Hooj Choons playlist)

In the current era of streaming it’s easy to forget how much of a gamble record shopping used to be as a DJ. Before the days of Spotify, Apple Music and Youtube you had to rely on the Essential Selection or remember what you heard on the dance floor when it came to tracking down those most-wanted tunes. If you were lucky enough to be in a decent record shop you would be able to listen to records before you bought them but sometimes you just had to take the plunge and go with your gut feeling. In some cases however just the calibre of the record label alone would be enough to seal the deal and HOOJ CHOONS was one such label.

Home to countless uplifting house music bangers over the years, Hooj tunes was originally formed in 1990 by Alex Simmons and Red Jerry. It was in 1992 when things broke overground with ‘Don’t You Want Me’ by Felix (co-produced by Red Jerry and Rollo of Faithless fame).

From there things would continue to escalate as Hooj carved out an enviable legacy starting with post-rave house shenanigans before moving onto ‘hands in the air euro-screamers’, ibiza-fuelled trance bangers and finally evolving into an outlet for deeper, progressive tracks. As a vinyl buyer you knew that whenever you picked up a sleeve with that distinctive logo you would be sure that it was a worthy purchase.

Gotta love that Hooj Choons logo

And so I present to you a Spotify and Apple Music playlist built from the first 100 releases of HOOJ CHOONS (at least what I could find on both platforms), plus a few remixes thrown in for good measure. It’s like a real-time capsule that captures various genres of house through the nineties and into the early 2000’s.

Episode 96 – Back to ’96 Mix

Paul @ Retro House Mixtape — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 17:02:49 +0000

It’s another trip back to the 90’s as we bounce into 1996. A year that was packed with some huge anthems but for this episode I’ve tried to pick out some lesser heard tunes that still bang. Case in point being ‘Are You Ready For Love’ by Ultra High, that tune takes me back to me and my buddy Adam listening to the Essential Mix as Pete Tong would drop it during a live broadcast from a venue. Across the board the mix contains some of the big names in house music from 1996; Faithless, Tin Tin Out, Tall Paul, Mousse T, Terry Farley, Pete Heller, Full Intention, Lisa Marie Experience (aka D Ramirez), Kadoc and Sharp.

Tracklisting:

Faithless – Don’t Leave (Mix 2)
Tin Tin Out – All I Wanna Do (Bingo Boys Mix)
FYC – Johnny Come Home (Mousse T Musica Dub)
Heller & Farley Project – Ultra Flava (Pete’s Dub)
Love Tribe – Stand Up (Acapella)
Duke – So In Love With You (Full Intention Mix)
Naked Music NYC – I’ll Take You To Love (Nush Club Vocal Mix)
Helicopter – On Ya Way (Lisa Marie Experience Mix)
Kadoc – The Nighttrain (Aquarius Bullet Train Mix)
Candy Girls – Wham Bam! (Sharp White Limo Remix)
Transformer 2 – Just Can’t Get Enough (Goodfellos Mix)
