Ten City - Whatever Makes You Happy (New York City Mix)

- 1990. www.discogs.com... Gorgeous David Morales remix. First heard this on a trip to NYC at the end of 1990, got taken to Sound Factory for the first time where Frankie Knuckles was playing - it was a total revelation, I'd never heard or seen anything like it. Had a pristine system that sounded like the world's largest, loudest, bassiest audiophile hi fi and a thousand or so mainly black & latino gay men and women going off to tracks like this, singing along to the chorus ("whatever makes you...HAPPY!!") and whooping and hollering when it dropped down to the bassline. Space was a completely raw warehouse that was dominated by the dancefloor, big speaker stack in each corner and huge mirror ball in the center. No alcohol, just a juice bar, free fruit and water fountain. Amazing dancers and a fluid, rhythmic physicality seeming to flow through everyone on the floor (and pretty much the whole club was the floor!). Very distinctive metallic smell of joints laced with angel dust and just a little undercurrent of sex and danger; totally thrilling. Can only remember two other tracks from that morning: Underground Solution - Luv Dancin and Those Guys - Tonite. Hard to convey how different NYC was back then. One thing about the Factory system that's kind of hard to explain if you've not heard anything like it is that never, ever did it hurt your ears, and you could hold a conversation on the dancefloor despite the loudness, because the separation of frequencies was so pure. There really aren't words to describe how good tracks like this sounded through it.

It doesn't matter how sour your day is, something about house music always makes the day brighter and puts energy back into your body, mind, and soul.

This hits so hard...I miss my Sound Factory/Tunnel/Zanzibar days. Real house music forever!!!!
True there. Remember the fresh fruit at 6am? Zanzibar?
They showed up at club America, oranges NJ ...they blew the roof up and off, total kings.
Saves my soul and for decades....
Club Shelter New York City 🌃
Time passes, memory’s never go, people come and go. Music timeless and this song shall will always be there to be listened for future generations. TEN CITY!!!!!
Different strokes 4 different folks...whatever makes uuuuu happy.
Werk dammit werk
Yes Indeed
I miss the Zanzibar and Sensations!!!!! I am forever a club head. No other way for me to be.
This is arguably THE classic house tune that kicked off the 90's! The tune was done late 80's but not released until 1990. I literally remember the Saturday night that Merlin Bobb rocked this to begin the WBLS Dance party. House on major labels was a "thing" then. Vocals, songwriting, production values.....I'll leave it there.

Kinda sad how far this movement has fallen. It was a good time for house.
@@rickjason1786 😞😞😞
This is a great song for Pride. More people should hear it. It should be an ANTHEM!!!
Nobody else can start a song like that. It gets right in my spirit❤️❤️❤️
This is when I first moved to NYC....Great music people!
CLASSIC!!!!!! ❤️ Ten city, there’s no one like them!! In a league of their own!!
Do whatever makes uou happy This tune is an education both morally and musically tor us and future generations. Peace x
this is THE definitive version of this classic house track. the focus on the keyboard riff is epic, the expanded instrumentation is top shelf and that brass is for the ages. one of the great production cuts of the 90's.
Byron is Sylvester reincarnated, such a magical voice, still a great dance song in 2021, fuck COVID
Reminds me of my life In Newark Nj 1988❤️
House number one uno dei migliori pezzi della House fine anni 80 inizio anni 90 il top dei top
This is an excellent song with a great message. This should have at least a million viewers…. Share , share , share!! The world needs this song.
Im with you too P. A young one born in the wrong decade. This is where it was. The soul, the vibe and the culture. -House Lives On-

Wow, Ten City, I first heard this song and most of Ten City back in 1988 at The Tunnel Nightclub and the World on the Lower East Side in NYC,
wow!!! nyc!!! back in tha day!!!
wbls commercial : ALONG WITH TIMMY REGISFORD, WBLS WOULD LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS AND FUTURE DANCE PARTY'S TO THE PARADISE GARAGE, WBLS 107.5 IN A CLASS BY ITSELF, i can't help but hear that message and station call in my head, most people used edit that out during recording, it made the experience for me, i still have a few Saturday night dance party's on cassette, shout out Keith (brother in law) for giving me his few tapes, sometimes I listen to 4 to 6 cassettes back to back!!!

Wonderful, evocative description of the New York dance culture in those days. Thanks for the upload.
That description has me grinning from ear to ear. I miss those days and nights!
i acutually love this music, i love house aroud 91,from japan
Love that beginning
Reminds me of that Philly sound of the 70s.
YES THAT MIX!!!
Well God given a voice x all the way back xx and if you're mad ?? You're nuts
Late 80's/early 90's was the best era for music, todays music is horseshit, full of swearing and videos with sex references etc. Music back then didnt need it and still sold loads :)
Atlantic Records made it sound like it deserves 🎯
I like the lyrics are on this tune, I wish the population of my cuntry listened to them and then had a debate what they actually mean.
Chooon! Loved it then love it now x
Beauty !
Love this! Pure House Pulsation Pleasuredome/Club Universe '92-02 San Francisco

Wow... New York house is where it's at. Love my old skool 'Italian house' but this is the sound.... That wind instrument and bass line is epic. Next flight from Manchester to 80's new York rave scene.... Please
