Club 69 Future Mix 1: The Collected Remixes of Peter Rauhofer

Amazon.com
Billboard darling Peter Rauhofer presents this opener to a two-part compilation of extensive remixes. Most of the mixes here have been stripped down to track form, which only serves to demonstrate the immensity of the Club 69 sound--utilizing spacious keyboard riffs and thunderous drum programming. Rauhofer adds simple bass lines and sound effects to create a relentless groove that spans the 13 selections, incorporating pop-dance megahits like Boris Dlugosch's "Hold Your Head Up High" and the Funky Green Dogs' "Fired Up." Other highlights include an irreverent refashioning of Falco's "Der Kommissar" and a nearly identical cover version of George Kranz's German beatbox classic "Din Da Da" performed by Kevin Aviance. That Euro-dance fascination keeps on. --M. Eugene Lemcio

Customer Reviews:

Defeats the purpose of making Rauhofer's mixes available... .......2005-05-13

Sure, it's a GREAT idea to put a whole load of Club 69/Rauhofer hard to get remixes on one disc, and they even found 2 volumes worth, and I'll even accept that the tracks are continuously mixed, but to have most tracks falling short of 6 minutes is just ridiculous. They rave in the liner notes on the back of these discs that some mixes are available for the first time ever on CD, but they didn't even bother to put a small print pointing out that only HALF of each mix is what you're getting. Get this out of desperation to have at least a portion of the mixes in your collection. Track times:

1. it's no good (7:30)
2. Der komissar (6:00)
3. Music (5:30)
4. House on fire (5:29)
5. Nightmare (5:29)
6. my urban soul (6:20)
7. Shout to the top (6:49)
8. Meet her at the love parade (5:40)
9. ohno (4:44)
10. Live in unity (5:49)
11. Hold your head up high (5:33)
12. fired up (4:47)
13. din dad da (4:15)

by the way, you can now get the FULL length mix of Depeche Mode's "It's No Good" on their Remixes 81-04 3 disc boxed set.

excellent compilation!.......2000-07-10

This is an excellent selection of peter rauhofer mixes. It's the only chance to get some very rare mixes like the wonderful Depeche Mode's "It's no good". He's a great producer/remixer. This compilation is perfectly mixed! CAN'T WAIT FOR VOLUME 3!

Decent throughout.......2000-05-21

This compilation was not so bad, Peter is not a good dj though. His style of spinning has and always will remain weak, regardless of where he is spinning.

I remember hearing most of these cuts spun at the Tunnel, back when it was actually a decent club, and full of life. It brings back very good memories of a good period, under the once held reign over Manhattan, by the Tunnel.

Great House Music.......1999-08-13

Peter Rahoufer is a phemononal DJ and some of his greatest mixes are contained right here. What he does with a song like Depeche Mode's "No Good" is just brilliant. He has a knack for turning a song that has no right to be remixed into a dance anthem, no small feat. He also does really well with the dance tracks especially Brainbug's "Nightmare", one of the best house songs ever. Falco's "Der Komissar" has never sounded better and the same goes for "Din Da Da." This collection flows organically and is some of the best house music around. If you like Junior Vasquez Live Vol. 2, this is a must-have.

this is rauhofer music.......1999-02-25
