Deep house masterpieces. Recommended popular tracks (11–20)
White TuskMark Alow
A best hit from 2018.
The percussive beat loop feels great.
On top of the endlessly repeating short organ loop in a major key, it blends highly ethnic vocal samples and shakuhachi tones with an Afro-inspired sensibility.
A spiritual track that conveys a mixed sensibility of deep house and minimal house.
Tears (Classic Vocal)Satoshi Tomiie
Satoshi Tomiie—born in Tokyo and based in New York—is a world-renowned DJ.
With a background in classical piano and a path that led him from jazz and funk to hip-hop and other forms of club music, he made his global debut in 1989 with the house classic “Tears.” The track, produced by house music legend Frankie Knuckles, who was quick to recognize Tomiie’s talent, features Robert Owens—active as both a DJ and producer—as its vocalist.
Its outstanding quality remains undiminished even today.
The refined production and Robert’s beautiful vocals strike a perfect balance, making it a must-hear not only for house music fans but for anyone interested in great music.
It’s YouE.S.P.
A house classic released in 1986.
A masterpiece by E.S.P., the production unit consisting of Daniel Ellington and Tom Adams.
Even today, single phrases from this track are sampled and used in other songs, and its chords are often used for leads.
There probably wasn’t a definition of “deep house” at the time, so this must have been a fresh, innovative approach back then.
Brighter DaysCajmere
A vocal deep house classic.
This is by Kashmere, an alias of Green Velvet, a legend of the Chicago house scene.
Among the biggest hits of his career, it’s a track that faithfully follows the rules of early house.
It went on to be highly acclaimed, spawning numerous reissues and remixes.
A deep track whose organ chords evoke classical, standard house music.
Psychotic PhotosynthesisOmar-S

Smith, is a Detroit-born house producer highly regarded in the underground.
While running his renowned label FXHE, he has also worked as an engineer, breathing life into tracks by producers including Theo Parrish.

His background was shaped by his brother—who was friends with Derrick May—and he grew up immersed in Detroit and Chicago dance music from an early stage as the scene matured.
