Errol Jones - Dont Lose The Groove

Review by Natália Santos

Album Review: Don’t Lose The Groove by Errol Jones (1990) If you’re into that late ‘80s, early ‘90s house vibe with a pop twist, Don’t Lose The Groove by Errol Jones is one of those albums that just sticks to your soul. Released in 1990 across Denmark, Scandinavia, the UK, and Italy, this record feels like a passport stamped with pure groove. With labels like Mega Records and Equinox Phonographic Recordings backing it, plus Bruce Forest on mixing duties and John Girvan producing, it’s no wonder this thing still gets spins at underground parties. The album leans heavily into house music but keeps things accessible for pop fans too. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel—it’s more about keeping the energy alive, which honestly, works perfectly here. And let’s not forget Zylan Daroya’s photography; the cover art has this retro-cool aesthetic that screams “dance floor.” Now, onto the tracks. There are quite a few remixes of the title track “Don’t Lose The Groove,” but two really stand out to me. First up is the Jonestown Mix—man, this version slaps. It starts off slow, teasing you with these lush synths before dropping into this deep bassline that makes your shoulders move without even thinking about it. You can tell Errol put his heart into writing this one because every beat feels intentional, like he knew exactly how to keep people locked in. Plus, the vocals? Smooth as butter. I swear, if you play this in any setting, heads will nod. Then there’s the Instrumental Dub 12". This one strips everything back to basics—no frills, just raw rhythm. For me, this track reminds me of those nights where you’re lost in the moment, surrounded by strangers who suddenly feel like friends. The way the percussion builds and fades throughout gives it this hypnotic quality. Honestly, it’s the kind of song that could make someone fall in love with house music all over again. What’s wild is how timeless this album feels. Even though it came out in 1990, it doesn’t sound dated at all. Maybe it’s the simplicity of the production or the fact that good grooves never go out of style. Either way, listening to Don’t Lose The Groove feels like stepping into a time machine that somehow lands right back in the present. Oh, and here’s something random—I bet Errol Jones would’ve killed it making TikTok videos today. Can you imagine him breaking down dance moves to the Jonestown Mix? Iconic. Anyway, whether you’re a house head or just looking for something funky to brighten your day, give this album a shot. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
