Me too JDJ gobsmacked then - gobsmacked now - how on earth do you create sonething this good???

[@undergroundsequence]

I heard this fine tune from Digweed’s JDJ Volume 4

[@franklinbaez71]

The only track I know that was equally loved by DJ Keoki of Limelight 90s NYC fame and Frankie Knuckles Godfather of House fame - OUTSTANDING TRACK!!

[@waynelittle646]

On John Digweed Journeys By DJ. Brought the tape around 1993/94. Brilliant

[@j5eaters]

I know this track is one of Frankie Knuckles fav at his party@Sound Factory Bar NYC Early 90's!!!!

[@bensearle7536]

John Digweed killer 👊💥

[@sevenwonders2080]

I had also been searching for a few decades for this song but unlike some didn’t know the title or artist. It’s rediscovery was a miracle really.

[@MXanderT]

It’s the opening track on John Digweeds Journey By DJs mix

[@sevenwonders2080]

@@MXanderT, thank you!

[@viccidoveybeale8382]

It’s the best!

[@ionsounds]

I was looking for this track for more than 20 years. Only had it on a recorded Frankie Knuckles Hot97 tape from 1995 and never heard it again somewhere else. So cool!

[@Audiokinstudios]

Ion - Can you share the Frankie Knuckles tape? I worked on this remix and would love to hear how Frankie used it!

[@ionsounds]

@@Audiokinstudios I'm sorry, it's literally an old cassette. I don't have it digital form. Also it's not really integrated in the mix. I think he played it as the finisher of his set and I got only 2 minutes of it on the tape, before it ends. Still, this tape opened my mind to house music really.

[@Audiokinstudios]

@@ionsounds now worries - maybe I can find it online. Could you shoot me a pic of the cassette? Any dates or names that might help me figure out when he made the mix? There's a lot of Hot 97 archives out there on the web - so I might get lucky!

[@ionsounds]

@@Audiokinstudios Not really. I was already trying to find as much of this Hot97 house nights as I could. But I've never found this specific one. I only know that it should be from 1995. Many of the tracks can be found on other mixtapes online, but I've never heard this specific track again. Only until recently when I've heard Maceo Plex on hudson river NY, here on youtube. He's playing it there and I was able to find a setlist and track it down. Hooray to the internet! :D My memory is like from an elephant when it comes to recognizing old tracks.

[@ionsounds]

@@Audiokinstudios kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqmUZKl4Z95-aZI That's the video, if you're interested. It's really cool how he is digging out those old tunes and integrates them in his sets.

Dj Shakra, underground legend and totally cool dude. He's still dropping dope tracks btw, a lot of fresh stuff under his Tranquil Elephantizer moniker, on the Wicked label and others.

[@Mongwad]

One of the few prog-house type records from the early 90s that I didn't sell. Still brilliant. If I remember correctly, mixes v nicely into Close Encounters by The Orb - one of my all-time favourite tracks.

[@solarwindsnoopy]

@Hannes- also an intro by Keoki, live in 1994, in Vancouver.

Does anyone remember another track (i think it was by power circle but definitely on the same M&G label) that had a picture of a bomberplane on the sleeve of the 12 inch? It was in this same progressive house style from memory.

[@jamesduncan2528]

I don't remember it - but I did find it for you: www.discogs.com/Power-Circle-Climbing/master/181611

[@auranaut3769]

The track was called Climbing... I think it was on M&G records.. Such a long time ago..

[@powercirclerecords4204]

"We'll keep Climbing, til we reach the sky"! It's called "Climbing" and there's a snippet on the Power Circle Records channel. We'll put up all the mixes shortly.

@@zm4232 They should definitely re-release this. I love how the Love Mix transitions into the Shakra Mix.

This is basically Pete Lazonby's "Sacred Cycles."

[@backtobasicsrtepulse2539]

What? Even though 'Sacred Cycles' came out a year later?

[@schtuss]

Backtobasics Rtepulse You are right! I forgot that "Sacred Cycles" was only released in '94. In my opinion, "Sacred Cycles" is essentially elements of "Garden of Peace" and "Gravitational Arch of 10" (both releases in '93) with some additional samples. That being said, I still love Lazonby's discography.

[@shaquondobelmondo2198]

Completely different. But loved as equally as each other!
