Deep house masterpieces. Recommended popular tracks.

Burning BrightMaya Jane Coles feat. Kim Ann Foxman

Maya Jane Coles – Burning Bright Ft Kim Ann Foxman

Here’s a masterpiece of house music from 2010 onward.

It’s the debut and biggest hit by Maya Jane Coles, who has both Japanese and British heritage—her grandmother lived in Osaka and she herself lived there for a short time.

At the time, there weren’t many people connecting gothic fashion with house music, so it made a strong impression.

She’s said to have been steeped in dance music, going to London clubs from around the age of 17.

From 2012 onward, she played as a top DJ at numerous clubs and festivals.

I’ll Be Your FriendRobert Owens

I’ll Be Your Friend (Original Mix (2011 Remastered Version))

Fingers Inc., the legendary Chicago house project that produced numerous masterpieces.

Along with Larry Heard and Ron Wilson, they helped pioneer the history of house music.

This track is one of Robert Owens’ most popular.

It’s an anthem you’re guaranteed to hear at least once at any festival dedicated to house music.

Despite its highly spiritual sound, the way it simply and passionately repeats “I’ll be your friend” is, in its own way, spiritual all over again.

Rabbit HoleJosh Butler

Rabbit Hole

Released in 2018, this was one of the most popular floor hits in deep house.

The vivid piano rolls and soft synth stabs feel great.

I think its simple arrangement was also a key to its functionality.

Since it doesn’t build up dramatically from the break to the drop, it’s a track that can be adapted to a variety of moods.

Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless)Crystal Waters

Crystal Waters – Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless) (Official Music Video)

When it comes to deep house hits that took the world by storm, isn’t “Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless)” the one that comes to mind? It’s such a famous track that many of you have probably heard it before.

That “pa-la-lee la-oo-la” ad-lib really sticks in your head, right? It’s crafted with a very easy-to-listen-to sound, making it a great recommendation even for those who aren’t used to house music.

Crystal Waters has plenty of other classic tracks as well, so if you’re interested, be sure to check them out!

Dance-Club Mix

This is another house classic that remains highly popular today.

Compared to others, it’s so catchy that I hesitated to classify it within the deep house genre.

Many of its brilliantly tasteful phrases were crafted using samplers and produced by Joseph Longo, who was working at a record shop at the time.

It’s still played in clubs by DJs across generations and has been reissued many times.

Push The Feeling On (The Dub Of Doom)Nightcrawlers

Push The Feeling On (The Dub Of Doom)

If you like R&B, I recommend “Push The Feeling On (The Dub Of Doom).” It’s not heavy or aggressive; the recurring phrases have an R&B flavor, making it a smooth and appealing listen.

It offers a different kind of immersion than psychedelic trance, so it seems perfect for boosting your concentration.

Nightcrawlers’ tracks, including “Push The Feeling On (The Dub Of Doom),” are full of immersive vibes, so be sure to check them out!

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (OBSKÜR REMIX)Barbara Tucker

BARBARA TUCKER – BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (OBSKÜR REMIX) [STRICTLY RHYTHM]

Barbara Tucker, a New York–born singer known as the “Queen of House.” This piece is a reconstruction of her signature 1994 track by the Irish duo Obskür, set to a UK garage groove.

Brimming with positive energy, it showcases her powerful, gospel-rooted vocals and celebrates the joy of people coming together.

The original song is such a classic that Pitchfork named it one of the best house tracks of the ’90s.

Released in June 2022, the remix blends the original’s euphoria with a modern beat to stunning effect—you’ll find your body moving before you know it.

Give it a spin when you want to lift your spirits!
