The Last Days Of House: 'Sunny' by Boogie Pimps (2004)

Now for another edition of The Last Days Of House, and today we have German-electronic/house group Boogie Pimps and their 2004 release hit track Sunny. Boogie Pimps is a collaboration between DJs Mark J Klak and Mirko Jacob which began in 2000 out of Erfurt, Germany. Sunny was a cover-version of the original 1966 song by American singer/songwriter Bobby Hebb, and the Boogie Pimps version would reach #10 on the UK charts, and #23 on the Australian charts. I was surprised to see that the original radio-edit of this song isn't available as a digital download on either ITunes or Amazon, but their hit house-cover of Somebody to Love is, so you can check that out, although it will probably appear in a future post here. Til next time, and lets hope for some more sun too!

The Last Days of House (Weekly): 'Pictures (Tonite Only Remix)' by Sneaky Sound System (2006)

This issue of The Last Days of House features Australian dance/house group Sneaky Sound System and their 2006 single Pictures (Tonite Only Remix). Now the house songs features in The  Last Days of House are you going to be all over the board, some new, some old, some really old, so expect that, and if you have known about these songs for years, great, and if not, brilliant! That said, Sneaky Sound System are a Sydney-based trio consisting of Black Angus (Angus McDonald) (songwriter, producer), Connie Mitchell  (vocalist and songwriter), and MC Double D (Daimon Downey) who actually left the group in 2009, but was still in it when this song was released. Pictures was released on the groups debut self-titled album Sneaky Sound System in 2006, and the Tonite Only Remix (featured here) can be found on the Pictures EP.  I highly recommend checking out their other tracks as well, and you can get more info on them and their music at their website found HERE.

The Last Days of House Weekly: 'My My My' by Armand Van Helden (2005)

Armand Van Helden hails out of Boston, Massachusetts, USA and has been active in the music biz circa 1990.

The Last Days Of House Weekly: 'Toop Toop (Reggae Rock Mix)' by Cassius (2006)

This weekly house track goes to French house-duo Cassius and their 2006 song Toop Toop (Cassius Reggae Rock Mix). Cassius is a French-duo from Paris, France; they've been active on the house-scene since 1988; and the duo consists of producers Philippe Zdar (Philippe Cerboneschi) and Boom Bass (Hubert Blanc-Francard). I am specifically featuring the Reggae Rock Mix here, and by that I mean the 3-minute version of that mix as opposed to the 10 minute one. The original track comes off of their 15 Again album (released September 2006), and this particular mix can be found on the Ministry of Sound Annual 2007 (Australian import). Check it, woot woot!
