CHARITY SHOP CLASSICS (37b)


Second part of of House hits from 1988 - according to K-Tel that is.

Continuing, the sleeve says "...Nightclub DJs who instinctively knew wat their audiences clamoured for, were set to take centre stage in the evolution of House music. Coldcut emerged from the London club scene to spice up Eric B's 'Paid In Full'. Bomb The Bass produced an infectious groove in 'Beat Dis', whilst S-Express captured the spirit of London's nightlife and its vogue for the styles and sounds of the 70's in 'Theme From S-Express'. House is now exploding in all directions. There's the conventional sound in the House Doctors, the nagging synthesisers of Nitro Deluxe's 'Let's Get Brutal', and the fiery beats of the Criminal Element Orchestra's 'Put The Needle To The Record', the production of New York's Wally Jump Junio. Sampling plays a fundamentla role in some hits like the DTI's 'Keep This Frequency Clear', which derives its hook line from a phrase in 'Beat Dis', whilst Gene & Jim combines original music with movie soundtracks for 'Shake'. The major record companies are falling over themselves to jump on the bandwagon, eager to cash in on the phenomenon just as they did a decade ago with disco. Limp pop tunes are being beefed up with House mixes to give them more exposure on the dancefloor. House music has demonstrated its univeral appeal by dominating the pop charts and the nightclubs alike. The Hits of House are here to stay."

That Steinski track really is a blast from the past! I had totally forgotten about it (which might not be such a bad thing ;)

The video for Rok Da House was an absolute classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9eg5nuhoi8
