Earth People - Dance

Both versions are awesome pieces of house music. Those incredible tense beats that instantly grab anyone's attention on the dancefloor and the vibrant club version with a perfect use of a sample (Motown's classic, Carl Bean - I Was Born This Way), one of Pal Joey's trademark. When the tracks comes in a mix, the hook is immediate. The mood is obviously happy but also surrounded with a bit of nostalgia.
The most memorable and effective house tracks are often the most simple ones. Thank you for your contribution mr Joseph Longo !

The Kerri Chandler mix is very good. Great subtle FX and edits lift this track even higher than the original IMO. It basically edits the track into a more stretched version of the original. This is a good thing since the original was always a bit too short for me.

Most definitely one of the first "Disco Loop" house records. A favorite in underground clubs in cities such as Chicago, "Dance" was completely unique at the time.

"Disco" was still a dirty word in 1990-1991. Dance songs were either piano driven House (CeCe Peniston's "Finally", Blackbox) or moving towards Rave and Techno (Joey Beltram's "Energy Flash"). A song that dared to sample a disco bass vamp was boldly referencing a time that was still thought of as embarrassing, and yet anticipating developments that House would make a good five years later.

Abstract, yet compellingly danceable, "Dance" can be heard even today in the playlists of more discerning and knowledgeable DJs. "Classic" in every sense of the word.
