Move Your BodyMarshall Jefferson
A house music anthem.
Among house music fans, there are probably very few who don’t know it—it’s that famous.
Covers are still being released to this day.
Marshall Jefferson is an originator of Chicago house, and this masterpiece was released on the venerable Trax Records.
While the label has its share of edgy tracks, this one delivers a classic, accessible sound that appeals to a wide audience.
In recent years, it saw a revival thanks to a cover by Solardo, the unit that serves as resident DJs at the popular Ibiza club Hï.
Can You Feel ItMr Fingers
The legendary Chicago house label Trax Records.
Among its catalogue, this work stands out as an especially popular classic.
Partly due to the label’s policy, countless reissues, remasters, and digital distributions have been released, which tends to obscure the original—but the first release dates back to 1986, before house music had permeated the global market.
It was the dawn of the genre.
The “ecstatic, melancholic atmosphere” that later became a benchmark for deep house traces back to this track.
A quintessential masterpiece of Chicago deep.

This one’s an anthem that still gets played frequently today.
It’s distinctive, yet I don’t think anyone could dislike it.

This work is often considered a pioneer of filter house, where the main development is built around opening and closing the filter—a technique that led to massive hits like Daft Punk’s “One More Time” and Eric Prydz’s “Call On Me.” It was produced by street icon Armand Van Helden.
In recent years, his unit with A-Trak, the DMC scratch world champion, Duck Sauce, has gained popularity.
Even if the name doesn’t immediately ring a bell, everyone will recognize it when they hear “Barbra Streisand.”

This work by Peggy Gou, a DJ from Korea based in Berlin, was released in June 2023 as the lead single from her debut album, “I Hear You.” She has said the song expresses indescribable love, warmth, and euphoria to be shared with friends and loved ones.
Perhaps that universal feeling is the secret to capturing listeners’ hearts worldwide.
