A perfect soulful summer tune, late nineties 'US garage' style (OK, so it's actually German...)

Quite why this little gem from Boris Dlugosch never saw a commercial outing remains a mystery, although the main riff is unerringly similar the Masters At Work mix of Be Be Winan's 'Thank You' which came out around the same time. Regardless, some would argue the ultra-rarity of this Peppermint Jam promo just adds to the charm.


Driven along by a sublime live fretless bass and Fender Rhodes chords, the understated production complements the song perfectly. Although uncredited there's little doubt that the distinctive lead vocals (most probably backing vocals too) come from long-time collaborator Inaya Day.

Good luck finding a copy - took me nine years from it's release, but well worth it!

Still a great tune fifteen years on, 'Such A Good Feeling' is one of the finest examples of early nineties piano house you will hear.

The Inspirational Delight mix is where it's at - forget Italo House, this is the Brits showing how it's done! The ingredients are simple: a 909 drum line, huge piano riff and a cheekily-sampled vocal hook (from Charvoni's cover of 'Always There' by Side Effect) and that's pretty much it.

The short percussive intro makes an interesting challenge for any DJ to mix in the track before it drops quickly into the instantly-recognisable 'hands in the air' piano breakdown.

From there on in, the track is immaculately constructed and produced, and yet at only five and a half minutes long (almost radio-edit length by today's standards), will leave any dancefloor with a smile on it's face and itching for more.

The Phil Kelsey mix and 'Peace and Harmony' B-side on this release offer little, other than to showcase how well the main mix stands up today in comparison to other contemporary efforts.

A classic in every sense! Timmy Regisford's "Underground Mix" (ironically, the version that crossed over to mainstream chart success) is inspired - it's duelling pianos and Stingily's soaring falsetto vocal are as spine-tingling today as they must have been back in the Summer of Love in '89. House music just doesn't get any better than this!

Well, the Loop da Loop mixes are pure late-nineties 'speed garage' cheese. Fine if you like huge synth basslines and time-stretched vocals but it all sounds horribly dated these days. The original mix (Tee's remix), on the other hand, is a timeless, soulful masterpiece. One of the first vinyl's I bought back in '97 and still a favourite - such a pity the UK release didn't include the Preacher acapella though!
