My Top 10 House Music Vinyls - Part 3 !
Artist : Lisa Shaw
Track : Let it ride (Remixes)[Single]
Label: Naked Music Recordings [NMN1029}
Release date: 2004
Go to track: Speakeasy Remix
Remarks : Old school house monster and future classic IMO. I remember when this track blew up in South Africa many years ago, it was a track that sort of blurred the lines between deep/soulful/tech house . This remix brought all three of these genres together and it all fitted into a perfect gem.

Artist : Paul Johnson
Track : I wanna play with you [Single]
Label: Yellow Productions [YP193]
Release date: 2005
Go to track: Vocal Mix
Remarks : I remember exactly how this track used to go down at the clubs. I would mix it in and all the crowd would hear was this kick drum at 123 bpm , and then as soon as the guitar riff would come into the track everyone in the club would go insane . The ’damage’ that this track used to cause was amazing. Nice classy and simple vocals …. I’m still loving this track today .

Artist : Sharon Phillips
Track : Touch me [Single]
Label: Wave Music [WM50071-1]
Release date: 2000
Go to track: Tiefschwarz is Touched Vocal Mix
Remarks : When this track was released I remember how hard it was getting my hands on it. I would have to call my local record store begging and pleading them to hold onto a copy for me. For those who don’t know, ‘back in the day’ when a track was sold out on vinyl it was GONE. I couldn’t just simply go online and buy the MP3 or get it on Itunes. We only used to DJ on vinyl so the digital age of DJing had not come out yet. So getting your hands on a precious vinyl like this was so hard. Till this day getting ‘Touch me’ on vinyl was the most gratifying moment I had ever gotten from purchasing a vinyl. I remember it so clearly, I went straight after school (in my school uniform no less) to Camino Records (a record store that was hidden behind a building) who kindly kept me a copy of this record. Upon returning home I think I must have played this track about 10 times in a row
