Andy Norman’s Favourite Ever: Disco Kandi cd.



Disco Kandi 4 HEDK020 Released: 2001

Disc 1

1. Thunderpuss feat. Latanza Waters - Stand Up (E Smooth Soul Revival Remix)
Kandi opens up with storming reworking of the old Love Tribe classic.

2. Deep Sensation - Somehow, Somewhere (There's A Soul Heaven) (Cleptomaniac's Ghetto Anthem Mix)
Real soul meets house music head on and blends together like strawberries & cream. A dream.

3. Jon Cutler feat. E-Man - It's Yours (Original Distant Music Mix)
What else can you say about this, Cutler finest moment of sexy soulful house.Modern house classic.



4. Negrocan - Aquela Esquina (Grant Nelson Club Mix)
Can Mr Nelson make a bad record? Don’t think so! Still one of my very favourite Grant tracks.

5. Warren Clarke feat. Kathy Brown - Over You (Main Mix)
Dynamic vocals and a whole lotta soul, just real good house music.



6. Don Carlos feat. Taka Boom - Music Of Your Mind (Original Mix)
Chaka Khan’s sister lets rip with big vocals together with Italian legend Don Carlos.

7. Kenny Bobien - You Gave Me Love (Degrees Of Hysteria Mix)
One of US house music’s unsung heroes, unique voice on a track produced by the great Eric Kupper.



8. Full Intention Presents Shena - I'll Be Waiting (Gray & Pern Club Mix)
This was one of those tracks slap bang in the middle of Gray & Pern’s peak. Wonderful production and sweet vocals.



9. Soviente - Copacabana (Escape From Rio) (Maurizio Nari *Rio* RMX)
Solid house music from the Subliminal stable, big room pleaser.



10. Mixmaster feat. Isabel Fructuoso - Latin Session (Así * Así) (Mixmaster & StoneBridge Mix)

11. Class A - Streetlife (Original Mix)
The Crusaders Jazz funk classic gets a fat funky house rework. Chunky, driving and sing-along all rolled into one.



12. Soul Providers feat. Michelle Shellers - Rise (Bini & Martini Vocal Mix)
When you play this the floor always goes OFF! Rousing vocals and such an infectious groove, real funky house does come from America and those Italians Martini & Co, well they just put the cherry on the top .


Disc 2

1. Bastian - You've Got My Love
Seemed a bit of a strange one but this track really grows on you. Slightly poppy but hear it a few times, you won’t stop singing it. If you ever see the music video, it’s really cool and original.

2. Spice 69 - Overdrive (Timo Maas Mix)
Timo makes it sound funky! Straight out of Peppermint Jam stables, unfortunately it came around the time as Horny - Mousse T, need we say anymore.



3. Roger Sanchez - Another Chance (Original Mix)
Global house anthem. Another fine moment for Roger, this is still played now and every time it gets a spin you gotta say, ‘Ooooooh what a tune’. It’s very close to filter house perfection.



4. Bel Amour - Bel Amour (Vocal Mix)
This is one of my most played tracks from the album, still comes out from time to time. A true example of real great modern disco house music. Everything works, groove, melody, filters, you really can’t beat this one.



5. Agent Sumo - 24 Hours
Very simple track, with all of the right elements and Gladys Knight’s voice sprinkled in there as gold dust. Another with a super drivin hook.

6. Mutiny UK - Secrets (Rhythm Masters' Club Vocal Mix)
Now when I first heard this I searched high and low for this. Couldn’t believe it came out of the UK. We were banging on Record label’s door to have this one.
This is Disco house music’s buried treasure! Fine as great wine.



7. Static Revenger - Happy People (Original 12* Mix)
Big in Ibiza and wasn’t long before it blew up here in UK. Infectious grooves and such a catchy vocal hook line. Makes you smile sing and raise your hands all in one go. Still fav Kandi anthem.



8. The Ones - Flawless (Club Mix)
Talk about catchy tunes! This was played time and time again at Kandi in Ibiza. Using a classic late 70’s Gary’s Gang sample and later reworked by none other than George Michael, this is cheeky sexy fun house music in the true style and meaning of Kandi.



9. Jakatta - American Dream (Club Mix)
Dave Lee recreates Hollywood magic for the dance floor! Reworking the American Beauty theme to make heavenly house, this worked for us wherever there was sunshine.



10. Clubbers International - I Love Clubbers (Club Mix)
Uber cool Chillout dj Chris Coco joins up with StoneBridge to produce quirky bouncy fun house music we all love.

11. Future Force - What You Want (Mark!'s Epic Vocal)
This is another one of those special house music tracks that had to make it on to the end of the album as a future classic. Hands in the air, uplifting gospel house vocals that hit the spot. As sweet a golden syrup it leaves you wanting more, Long live AM:PM records.

Do yourself a favour, find a copy and love it to death.
