Higher In The Sky

Posted November 7, 2011

Track: Higher In The Sky

Artist: The MacKenzie

Year: 1990

Label: MacKenzie Records

Before they teamed up with Jessy De Smet in the mid-90s, Belgian group The MacKenzie consisted of Patrick Fasseau and Patrick Degraeve.  Higher In The Sky is arguable their best track - a slow and uplifting trance tune - reminiscent of Djuma Soundsystem's Les Djinns (which came out 13 years later in 2003). Though the slower chords belie a brilliantly layered composition, the sax element reminds the listener just how masterful and well-balanced the production actually is.

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.
