San Trancisco (Air Tattoo Reconstruction)

Posted February 5, 2011

Track: San Trancisco (Air Tattoo Reconstruction)

Artist: Punchunella

Year: 1994

Label: Global Grooves

The Air Tattoo Reconstruction mix of San Trancisco was a popular floor filler anthem overseas and a superb piece of progressive house.  This well-balanced track features a stomping beat, soaring snyths, and a masterful piano breakdown at the midway point.  Nathan Joseph, who produced this remix under the Air Tattoo alias, commented on YouTube:

"...back at the start of my music career I made this remix at Crib Studios for Global Grooves in 1992.... I think they paid me the princely sum of £150 to do it, then calmly flogged about 30,000 copies over the next year countrywide and coined it in. I never got another penny. That's life."

It's too bad he wasn't compensated fairly, but having a classic house track under your belt has to be some consolation, right?

ABOUT

This site profiles my favorite classic house tracks. Most selections are from the 80s and 90s with a strong - but not exclusive - deep house, progressive and old school Chicago influence. I could never fully warm up to acid house, overly ambient tracks, or anything that bumps >135bpm. Since many have asked, there's no single definition of classic house music, but Ishkur has an excellent guide to electronica music that can serve as a primer for anyone interested.  I know some of the videos get pulled due to copyright issues - just search on YouTube since most stuff gets re-upped anyway.
