Revisited House Chapter 7 - House Classics 1996-1997

I was a quite short on time this month so i finished this mix a bit later than expected. I'm trying to get back to the rhythm of releasing about 3 mixes a month...

So, it was about time to continue our trip of re-visiting some great House Classics. This mix contiunes where the last one ended and shows you some of the hits and stomper of 1996 and 1997.

I can remember vividly when i was at the Loveparade in Berlin 1996 for the first time and Daft Punk's track blew my mind - and ears of course :) This was the time, when House Music started to get popular and got played even on television (just to name a few shows: Housefrau on VIVA TV or MTV Partyzone). A lot of people i know discovered this kind of music at that time and they still love hearing their favorite tracks.

Erick Morillo's track "Jazz it up" is still one of my alltime favs, it makes me smiling and start grooving everytime i hear it - for me it's one of the most underrated records from back in the days, DJs didn't play it much - but i remember Erick himself playing it in the Move Club here in Cologne in 1996 while the Popkomm was held.
