THIS ONE HOLDS A LOT OF MEMORIES ❤️

One of the first nightclubs I ever went to was Emotions on Seel St and I remember this being played in there.

Fast forward a few years and it became mine and Debbie’s song from our days at Mode Training. I know she loves it just as much as I do.

Funny how one tune can take you straight back to different points in your life.

Miss ya Deb x ❤️

K-KLASS KNEW HOW TO DO A REMIX 🔥

This one was a proper weapon of choice back in the day.

One of those records you could pull out of the box, drop at the right moment and know it was going to work 🙌

Who remembers this one?

COCONUT GROVE HEADS WILL REMEMBER THIS ONE 🔥

This was absolutely massive in there back in the day.

Soon as this came on you knew exactly what was happening on that dancefloor 🙌

Who remembers hearing this in the Coconut Grove? 👀

KATY SMASHING IT ON THE DECKS 🎧🔥

Working on timing and phrasing today, mixing Strings of Life into Dr Pressure.

Love seeing the progress every time Katy comes in for a lesson. Confidence is growing and the mixes are getting tighter 👏

Keep up the good work Katy 🙌

GOURYELLA ❤️

A powerful slab of trance from when, for me, it was at its very best.

Those melodies, those breakdowns and that feeling when it kicked back in. I really do miss these days 🙌

Who else remembers this one?

YOU KNOW THIS ONE ALWAYS GOES OFF 🔥

Some tunes you can drop and you already know exactly what the reaction is going to be.

No messing about with this one. Soon as it comes in, the dancefloor knows 🙌

Who remembers hearing this one out?

PROUD COACH MOMENT ❤️🎧

Ruby’s absolutely smashing her gigs lately and I couldn’t be more proud of the work she’s putting in.

It’s great teaching someone the skills, but even better seeing them take those skills out into clubs and make it happen for themselves 🙌

Keep going Ruby. The hard work is paying off 👏

If you were there, you’ll know this one. 👀🎶

DJ A used to play this acapella in a nightclub, then follow it up with a big piano track. 🎹

DJ B was inspired by DJ A to come up with his own version, followed by another big piano track.

This acapella will only mean something to the generation who were there, whether you were in Club A or
Club B. 🙌

My question to you is…

What track would always follow this acapella? 🤔

Tell me the club and the track in the comments. 👇

MICHELLE LOVES HER CLASSIC TRANCE… BUT THEN AGAIN, WHO DOESN’T? 😂🙌

There’s something about those old trance records that still hits every single time.

Big melodies, proper breakdowns and tunes that bring back some serious memories.

What’s the one classic trance tune you’ll never get bored of? 👇

**ME AND MY MATES WERE ALWAYS UP DANCING TO THIS ONE 🕺🔥**

Some tunes just take you straight back to the dancefloor.

You might recognise the vocal for a different reason though… **Schak – Jumpin & Pumpin** brought it back the other year and gave it a whole new life.

Who remembers the original? 👀

HOW TO TURN THE CROSSFADER OFF IN REKORDBOX 🎚️

If you never use the crossfader when you DJ, you can disable it completely.

Go into Rekordbox, find the crossfader assign settings and switch each channel off. No more accidentally
knocking it mid-mix and wondering where your music’s gone 😂

Simple setting, but one worth knowing.

JUST KEEP ROCKIN’ OR STREET TUFF? 👀🔥

Who remembers The Rebel MC?

Two proper tunes, but if you could only pick ONE to play…

Which one are you choosing? 🎧

I already know this could split a few people in the comments 😂
