HOUSE: Spiller feat. Sophie Ellis Bextor - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)

ANTHEM TIME!!!! Today's "takin' it back" track is uber amazing! The year 2000 was a great year for dance music, and an even better year for exquisite club ANTHEMS, Groovejet is in the Top 5! With the lovely Sophie Ellis Bextor on vocals and Italian based producer Spiller, this track became an instant monster in the clubs, radio, Ibiza, and festival circuit! Fresh off infamous UK dance label, Positiva which distributed a number of big club hits in 2000.

I wanted to post the original full length club mix for you, but I found this fuckin' fresh reworking on YouTube by The House Moguls which we wanted to spread. Seems as if they've put their own spin on a few other classics from the year 2000. Check out their YouTube channel after the jump for some auditory pleasure!

No big introduction for this one, it's the definition of a club classic. One that sounds as if it could be released today, or in another 10 years. Enjizzoy! -- MikeeGB

HOUSE: Green Velvet - Flash (Danny Tenaglia's Nitrous Oxide Mix)

Where do all the bad little kiddies come from? The ones that do such bad little things?? A place where camera's are prepared to FLASH! HA! Such a classic track this one is! Back in the day the hottest tracks were naturally the ones where the lyrical content was completely about doing drugs. What? It was an era where just about everyone was on drugs!

Green Velvet is absolutely notorious for his comedic lyrics that make some of the BEST dance songs around. I can't name one Green Velvet release that I am not infatuated with. Flash is definitely THE BEST, and Tenaglia's re-work is just superb. This was totally a CLUB BANGER in the year 2000! I think I might even recall a few parties I heard this at with very BIG balloons!

Just another tasty treat from the gang at Funky Brewster! Enjizzoy! -- MikeeGB

Got any E???: LIVE SET: David Padilla on Groove Radio (2000)

Hiya kids! Have we got a TREAT for you! From deep within the vaults, we have located a LIVE mix from SoBe disc jockey royalty, David Padilla! Now, you must excuse the not so fantastic quality as this mix comes from a cassette tape recording from back in the day pirate station Groove Radio.

Groove Radio was established sometime in 1999, picking up where Power 96's "Late Night Labratory" left off. The popularity of trance music would carry well into the 2000's, but Power 96 felt it be best that they feature a new genre of music on their airwaves (we all know what happened there).

The station would only appear in the evening's and would feature live mixes from Miami's big name electronic DJ's back then, along with a full length play of the most popular trance compilation CD's being sold in stores (i.e. Gatecrasher, Cream, Euphoria...)

The station which we believe was owned by resident DJ Concept even went on to throw their own parties in and around town, the best ones taking place in seedy warehouses around Hialeah! We appreciated Groove Radio immensely, as they were the ones who helped us discover one of my top 3 trance songs of all time, Groovezone's Eisbaer! This track was a regular in the station's rotation, and we called every other day to request. So thank you Groove Radio for continuing on in the airwaves for as long as you could! (check out some flyers after the jump!)

We won't go into detail on Mr. Padilla here, if you're reading this then you know one word sums it up best...LEGENDARY! We're still hoping for that proper The Mix Afterhours reunion we've been promised! tsk! tsk! Enjizzoy -- MikeeGB

FLAVORED BEATS: BT - Never Gonna Come Back Down (Hybrid's BreakTek Remix)

Ahhhhh yes, it has begun! First track in our year-end "takin' it back" feature is a fab one! BT owned the early part of the 2000's, Never Gonna Come Back Down was one of his biggest hits featuring one of the best lyrics of all time, "Donde estas los digits to DJ Rap!". I kept repeating that one day when I hung out with her at Pawnshop. That is quite possibly the reason why she asked me to leave. =X

Hybrid was infamous for their trancey breakbeat esque remixes in the late 90's/early 00's. Their rendition of this track was one of their best! It's got their unique sound, and melodic breakdown built up all around the dark and gloomy male vocal. This track was featured on the Gone In 60 Seconds OST, and was also given love in The Mix Afterhours 2 compilation.

The year 2000 was a GREAT one, with some fucking AMAZING tracks! Tracks that we are just thrilled to post for our beloved readers! Enjizzoy! -- MikeeGB
