Pet Shop Boys very first released single. It came first as a more straight club oriented dance hit, with a more Hi-NRG, electronic disco or even early house influenced production by Bobby Orlando (Bobby O). That was in 1984. Then the track got a more radio and listener friendly mix by Stephen Hague - that's the version we hear nowadays in the radio and have been accustomed to. Without a doubt, the best Pet Shop Boys song. Great synth bassline, electro beats, soothing strings, deep vocals and chants all fitting together so right.

From Rivera's Groove Box #148: Unknown Artist - Benga Benga 1
Porridge Bullet PB005 - Afrobeat edits from Raul 'Ajukaja' Saaremets. Re-edit of Sampa Mapangala 'Yembele'. Got the repress. I didn't like the release that much at first, so I skipped this when it came out. But I heard it at the local parties in Tallinn, and it kinda grew on me. Give it a few spins if you're not feeling it right away! It's really simple edits with some lo-fi drum machine beats underneath the African funk tracks, but somehow it works!

From Rivera's Groove Box #147: Tanel's Hot House Trax - Autokuur
Whoo-eeee-dooo-deee-dooo. Some self promotion. Just another generic garage track I made the other day. I just love how a pure and simple garage groove sounds, it feels just so right. Comes with a download. 'Autokuur' means 'garage' in estonian. Ha, clever!
From Rivera's Groove Box #146: Saint Etienne - Nothing Can Stop Us Now (Kenlou Dub)
Remember when Little Louie Vega and Kenny Dope from Masters At Work used to do great remixes and house tracks? I remember. The rhodes chords have been sampled both by Carl Craig on 'Sub Seducer' and Paris Underground Trax 'Hardcore Deep House'.
