5th June 2012

Posted by Gateway 97.8

Welcome to the Gateway 97.8 old skool dance show 6 blog, where you will find information on definitive cuts from the golden era of Club, Drum & Base and House music from 1986 to 2006.

This Track listing is from show 6 and follows along with some informative/trainspotting facts about the tunes played.

My first track Is a tribute to the late Donna summer. Whenever you hear this track, it is guaranteed to make you smile and I am going to break all the old skool dance show rules to play you the original full length re-eq’d 1977 original of I Fee Love, and I can even remember this getting to No1 when I was in my teens. This record though is absolutely timeless……. and priceless.

“old skool record labels” triple tracks – Deconstruction

It initially specialised in house anthems such as K Klass’s “Rhythm Is A Mystery” and Bassheads‘ “Is There Anybody Out There?”, as well as M People’s output, but also had a strong record in promoting underground dance acts such as Dave Clarke.^[3] Hits included Robert Miles‘s British number 2 “Children”.^[3]

It was home to Kylie Minogue in the mid-late 1990s, at the time when she had escaped from Pete Waterman and was looking to reinvent herself and explore her image by working with Saint Etienne, Brothers in Rhythm (who produced her single “Confide in Me”), and others.^[4]^[5]

Among the other artists to record for the company were Guru Josh, Black Box, M People, Way Out West, Sasha, and Republica.^[1] It also released recordings by Lionrock, Death in Vegas and Dub Pistols through its Concrete Records subsidiary.^[1]
