By nintey seven out went piano and in came new and interesting programming.
Layers and layers and layers of effects, vocal stabs.
In Baby Boom you aint got the standard high hit tssssss sound. What you have is short bits and peaces, with, _____ it, I cant descripe what Baby Blue aka Tin Tin Out do with there tunes. This team, a bloke and a woman really did make some great nineties tunes and remixes. Original and vibrant, really kept house going with new ideas and approaches to solid clubbing house tunes.
A Little Love what could be termed hard house, with an elastic bouncy bassline, that was quiet dominant in house from ninety seven too ninety nine.
Almost seemed like it bounced around every single surface when you heard it in the club.

Lolz at this tune. Its campy trashy care free house, that dont take it self to seriously. I mean >>> "I dont want your boyfriend, I just want your man". Mambo Remix is just a straight up cheeky non-offensive chirpy tune you drop, usualy in Ibiza during the summer.
Original mix sounds like a J Vasquez remix. Tribaly, hard and camp.
Sweet Machine has some nice acid 808 riffs, that makes it more techno sounding and less trashy camp, while more serious in affect.

Everybody Party is one hell of a rip roaring summer house tune.
I mean you drop this in Ibiza during the daytime expect dance floor devastation. The culture of 1994, the times of 1994, the youth of 1994. This tune was made for 1994.
Rhode organs lighting this tune ablaze. Stunning programming and user of vocal stabs, basslines the lot. Everybody Party was a triumphant tune reguarly dropped bang in the middle of a summer Ibiza house set.
Flip over and you get two outstanding minimal techno bombs, that couldnt be more unlike Everybody Party.
Space Zone and Wave Zone are the types of minimal tunes Carl Cox used to drop after the sun had gone down and Space was crammed to the rafters at 11pm.
The two tunes are serious "on a mission" house tunes.

Summer house tunage was kinda invented accidentaley by Alex P & Brandon Block at Space Terrace on Sunday mornings mid 90s. All they wanted to do was bring a cheery raw shuffling stompin hands in the air vibe to weary clubbers.
Dropping Sceince EP delivers a floor ripping fiesta house disco sampling extravanganza.
Latinos On Parade pushes forward a nice simple piano riff, thens blows it up with a driving bassline and uplifts it with spritely vocal stabs. All round top summer tune.
No Troubes provides more of the excellent bassline programing with some stand out disco samples and vocal stabs.
Droppin Science is a well crafted clubbing tune with nice keyboard programming making it a nice little basic house groover.

Rave had died a death. It was segragated to buggery with a million different sub sub sub genres. The party in the warehouse was over. A new sound with the same high energy was emerging at a stable house beat, which was being played in Ibiza and new UK clubs.
On Ya Way by Helicopter delivers a chirpy good vibe on attitide which starts of this happy togetherness house set.
The set carrys on with some high energy feeling house instrumentals. The high point of this set has to be Ibiza Get Wild and Feel So High which really truely delivers the good time feeling free attitude of mid 90s clubbers. Very unlike today.
The last few tunes bring a trance balearic spirit to this mix encapsulating a spanish style which is echoed by the flamigo guitars on That Piano Anthem. DJs at the time kept true to the Spanish style in there mixes, when doing gigs in Ibiza.
As with all good mixes, this ends on a complete high with two high octane tunes Love Fever and Everybody Party.

The idea of getting down in the sunshine never ever occured to me in 94/95. I thought of house, in dark clubs with boomin sound systems along side good looking, well dressed klub heads.
Bam Space! Those piano anthems sure had a new lease of life in the middle of the afternoon.
I loved the idea of a house set/tunes for the mid afternoon sunshine. This mix cd is so good I cant imagine any other time of day for these tunes to be heard.
For me this mix was the introduction to dancing in the open air clubs in Ibiza during the day.
Even today the Piano line in Happy Clappers - I Believe just crys out summer sunshine avint balaeric hedonistic good vibes.

I immediately bought this mix after enjoying Volume 2 and 3. I bought 3 first.
Mixed much differently to volume 2 and 3. Giving only ten - twenty for tunes to be mixed in. Tunes felt alien and so did the mixing technique. A little before my time so to speak in style and in tune selection.
But it was cool listening to this mix.
I have been a big clubber and fan of house since 94 too 00.
A great six years. Sorry to see the Sessions go down the pan.

Awesome deep garage, raw as you like house mix here.
The strength in this mix is the talent of the female vocals on all of these tunes. Combine that with the disco elements crafted in these classic house tunes and you have a Paradise Garage inspired house set.
The vocal talent here is the exact same as the ones found on the Masters At Work mix Volume Five, so standing this test of time, these tunes have, and this entire house set has.
This mix is warm with sizzling vocal talent on offer.

Uplifting as can be, with bang to earth dubs thrown in.
Not as deep as volume three, but more UK housey sounding with lots more vibrant catchy vocal tunes. To uplifting for me, I prefered the dubs in this mix. But because I bought Sessions 1 - 9 i thought I would review this.
Nicely mixed. Weaves in and out of big room vocal tunes and short sharp dubs making that perfect saturday night at the club mix.

The very first Ministry Of Sound mix CD I bought in 1994.
This is quite a deep dubby mix in places,with upstep vocal sensations thrown in and around the divine Agora - Montayo track.
Lots of nice drums in these tunes, but never tribal, always deep with latin samba flare.
Sweet sweet mix for a dark 90s club.
Needless to say I went out and bought Volumes One and Two.
Ministry were on top with these underground house Sessions mix cds.
Cds mixed by the worlds finest at that time.
