It is a downright beautiful day here today! Last week when up at the Woods, I did another set of selections for the pool tea dance with the camps DJ. I have always loved a good afternoon tea dance, with nice weather, men dancing in bathing suits, and fun music. Who knows, made I will learn next how to do the actual mixing. But I admit it is great fun to see how your sections make the crowd move, and watching him do the mix. This was the selections that closed up the summer. Now dance little monkeys!!
Love me some Gladys Knight. I had [have?] such a crush on Bubba. Oy, that man could move!
ReplyDeleteYou KNOW who's dancing up a storm to those videos in the Afterlife, yes?
ReplyDeleteSo many good choons here! (Except Megan Thee Stallion)
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued what vids #8 and #14 were, as they're "not available in your country"...
Jx
Im not a fan of Megan Thee Stallion either...but this one song remixed got me going and shaking it.
DeleteVery interesting.
ReplyDeleteI miss dance music like this. Damn. These are bangers then, now, and forever. You certainly gots me going tonight...and I mean it!!! I bet you had the boys sweating.
ReplyDeletehe will make men sweat, one way or another.
DeleteMistress...you tore that pool and deck the hell up again!!!!! A It was a great mix of house, disco and new all together! You had those boys this is how my man makes me feel.... uplifted, hypnotized extacy!
ReplyDeleteYASSSSSS! HENNY!!!!!! You got some nice old school house up in here bitch! H2O, Gusto, De'Lacy. and Jaydee's Plastic Dreams used to bring the Limelight and Pallidum to it's KNESS baby. You had this fat bear twirling tonight henny!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes! Long live HOUSE!
DeleteHe too had my fat ass moving too. Next year, let's go honey.
DeleteLOL!!! Back in the haze and loud thumping drug induced state, I wonder if we all ever met?!?! lol! These were the days.
DeleteThe memories these song brings back!! Im sweating to these and now want to go out! I can see why your set would be popular...a little something for everyone...and it all works so nicely together
ReplyDeleteI have to have me some disco mixed in.
DeleteMany of these still gives me goosebumps in the opening seconds. I feel for those who never experienced the big club scene. You had me right off with Bed with Raye....love her voice and the scorching hot Sophie Ellis Bextor!!!! You got us lesbians moving tonight.
ReplyDeleteThis is one damn good feel-good, "heading out on to tea dance" song list.
ReplyDeleteClub and house transends.....some of these are groundbreaking pieces of music.. and totally infectious 18 years or more later. Plastic Dreams use to get that dance floor PACKED with voguing, ball and runways. Some damn good times at the Roxy. LOVE the Ring My Bell.
ReplyDeleteDamn I wish I could have been there!!! After 25 years , and tonight, I still have this urge to dance....
ReplyDeleteThat is quite an intresting list. Some popular and some real obscure. But the Faith Evans will always BE MY SONG. It was the first time when moving to Philly I went to Shampoo and danced my ass off. Mesmerized was the first song I heard that night and danced my ass off. It still get me going.
ReplyDeleteOh yes...Shampoo was a REAL GOOD TIME!
DeleteThis mix selection is fire Mistress, Im surprised you didn't burn the place down.
ReplyDeleteI'm impress with Adel voice.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
This made me smile for it reminded me of Ann Marie's Saturday dance party.
ReplyDeleteLove the house, and I am in love with the newer also. I am a huge fan of Raye, Jess Glyness, Sophia Ellis Bextor!!!! I am far from a Megan Thee Stallion fan. Have yet like any of her music...BUT IM IN LOVE WITH THAT SONG!!!! You got me pumped tonight!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis simply Magic!!😂 Im not a fan of Megan Thee Stallion either, and I loved that remix too.
DeleteI love you!!!!!! You need to do this somewhere! I love your sections. I went nuts when I heard Speed Garage's Sing a Song, H2O, Snap and Gusto!!!!! Yas dear!!!!! Wonderful times in the mid to late 90s, aged 16-20. When there were no cells, so we had to meet at a set club, and 11pm and 2am closures meant being out at 6 or 7 am after parties where the real shit spun! There was an air of fun and church. Brilliant fun, good times! Go on DJ Mistress Borghese!
ReplyDeleteNothing like these good memories right? Almost make me feel sorry for the new genration...for they will know get to experience the fun and camp and church of the club scene. They must be bored on their social media and sex apps.
DeleteGreat timeless classics here, that will always fill the dance floor. I can see why the boys were sweating. Next year you need to blow the doors off Crown and Anchor!!! And I love anything by Sophie Ellis and Raye. I got some good memories here from the huge club days.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to blowing the doors off the Dick Dock!
DeleteOh wow. A time capsule! Many were a little before me, but I've said, you had the best house and club music in your time compared to now. Many of these songs pulse along with a threnody of energy. It's euphoric. The whole damn magical list of it. And the boy loved the newer artist. Damn you put together a great set list.
ReplyDeleteThese are such a good, wonderful tunes, and so going on my gym playlist. After all what is a club these days???
ReplyDelete2020 still loving many of these club tunes, Still get us going. Just when are you coming back to Rehoboth Beach??? Diego's Hideway need Tea Dance help
ReplyDeleteI really like and always did love this kind of music, which brings us such a melancholic, and at the same time, an uplifting vibe! A bittersweet symphony! Lord, I miss a good club anymore, even here. And I loved the addition of the disco touches too, love me some Anita Ward.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!! LOVE! You got my before kids and married life, inner club kid, ass up and moving. I haven't heard some of these in YEARS!!!! One of my favorite Madonna remixes. I remember it like yesterday.
ReplyDeleteAnd love Sophie Ellis, She's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Your blog is like a delight for many senses my Mistress.
Many of these songs are like fine wine .. keep getting better over time, and still sound excellent and get me going. Ah, those were the days...Palladium, Limelight, Tunnel, Club USA, Twilio, View Bar........
ReplyDeleteIf I might it to the Woods next year, I hope your do this again.
Now, see... If I went to a club and you were spinning, I would never leave the damn dance floor. Why isn't there a club with a DJ like you, my dear? I adore all this. You hit on so many faves. Jess and Sophie and Martha and Donna and Jocelyn and Gladys and... you even picked a Bananarama that's terribly overlooked... and I adore. Thanks for making my Monday, hon. You da best.
ReplyDeleteI probably would love it Upton! And Bananarama's Pop Life is one of my all time favorite cds. Oh man "Preacher Man" "Long Train Running" –"Only Your Love" ...........
DeleteBack when I used to go clubbing, it was the music that would keep me there for an extended period of time. Nowadays, I love listening to that music while driving.
ReplyDeleteYou're great at this!
Where are the oldies, but goodies, that should be played at a tea dance - Memories are Made of This, the Last Rose of Summer etc.. That's not to say that I don't like some of this music; maybe I'm old-fashioned but it really doesn't go with ladies in floating organza dresses and the gentlemen in flannels, blazer and boater that are de rigeur at tea dances.
ReplyDeleteSomething like this, Helen..? Jx
DeleteUnfortunately my creolins, hoop shirts, and bustier are in the shop for such high brow social events.
DeleteExcellent list! I have been hearing the first one with Joel Corry and Raye and loved it. It hasn't even been out that long yet. I love anything Raye does.
ReplyDelete"I gotta a bed, but Id rather be in yours tonight"
ReplyDeletedon't you have that on a tee shirt?
Love it!
ReplyDeleteWe should have a party!
You made me think of Anne Marie.
XOXO
