90s Classic House Music Volume 3: Groove Is in the Heart

While our last outing chronicled the foundational bricks that laid the 90s Classic House Music landscape, this installment promises to dig beneath the surface. This time, we unearth lesser-known tales and unheard vibes from a decade that, much like the collapse of the Soviet Union, marked the end of old orders and the burgeoning of the new. So, without further ado, let's delve into some unforgettable tracks that framed club culture, influenced lifestyle, and are still absolute bangers. Deee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart (Ultimix) Emanating from the artistic hub that was New York City, Deee-Lite's "Groove Is In The Heart" blasted through the airwaves, gaining traction in 1990. While Nelson Mandela was freed that same year, signaling the end of apartheid, "Groove Is In The Heart" became an anthem for personal liberation on dance floors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J22gr56fl4 Livin' Joy - Dreamer (Junior Vasquez Sound Factory Mix) It was 1994, the year the U.S. hosted its first FIFA World Cup, when Livin' Joy dropped "Dreamer," capturing the blissful ignorance and idealism coursing through society. Junior Vasquez's Sound Factory Mix added a touch of urbane sophistication to this naive optimism. Billie Ray Martin - Your Loving Arms (Soundfactory Vocal Mix) "Your Loving Arms" by Billie Ray Martin wove its musical threads into the fabric of 1995. As the Dayton Agreement was being signed, bringing a tenuous peace to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Martin's soulful rendition stood as a testament to the healing power of music, amplified by the Junior Vasquez Soundfactory Vocal Mix. Bizarre Inc. feat. Angie Brown - I'm Gonna Get You (Original Flavour Mix) If there was a single word to describe 1992, it would be 'transformational', from Bill Clinton's electoral victory to the commercial release of the first Nicotine patch. "I'm Gonna Get You" by Bizarre Inc. featuring Angie Brown, invigorated clubs, proving that house could be as politically assertive as it was catchy. Tori Amos - Professional Widow (Armand Van Helden's Star Trunk Mix) Fast forward to 1996, the year that saw the introduction of the DVD format. Armand Van Helden transformed Tori Amos's "Professional Widow" into a garage house phenomenon, highlighting how technology and art could marry into something ground-breaking. Inner City - Good Life (Magic Juan's Mix) In 1988, right at the threshold of the 90s, Inner City released "Good Life." This track embodied the universal desire for happiness and freedom, perfectly encapsulated in Magic Juan's Mix. The song has become a staple in 90s Classic House Music and frequently sampled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztd__xu1YGA 90s Classic House Music was more than just a genre; it was the pulse of a generation wrestling with change, exploring new freedoms, and laying the groundwork for the 21st century. This anthology of tracks offers not just a nostalgic trip but an understanding of the social and cultural transformations of the time. Until the next time...ENJOY! Donate and keep the party going!
