Pump Up The VolumeM/A/R/R/S

Released in 1987, this quintessential UK early house track by Colourbox and A.R.

Kane exudes a cosmic atmosphere.

It became a massive hit and is a historical classic that’s indispensable when talking about house music.

It’s high-energy yet somehow dubby; incidentally, it’s also very popular as background music for dancers’ battles and showcases.

Yes, this track is a crossover between old-school hip-hop and dance music.

A cheerful beat that conveys a wild Afro vibe within a mild, jazzy mood.

Acid TracksPhuture

This is a pioneering acid house track released in 1987 by Chicago-based house music veteran DJ Pierre, also known as Wild Pitch.

The name “Phuture” is the alias he uses when releasing acid tracks.

Unlike the flashy, high-energy “pew-pew” style of today’s heavily driven TB-303 sounds, the early tracks have a somewhat rounder bass timbre.

Many works from that era also had a deeper overall texture.

Bar A ThymKerri Chandler

Kerri Chandler, a heavyweight and originator of American deep house.

Active since the 1990s, he continues to exert tremendous influence on younger generations.

It’s still fresh in our memory that in 2018 he made his previously vinyl-only tracks available as free downloads.

The track we’re introducing this time is a classic released in 2005 that became a hit.

Fix My SinkDJ Sneak

It might be confusing for people who came in through EDM, since the spelling is so similar to DJ SNAKE that some might mistake him, but this is DJ Sneak—the master of jackin’ house.

He’s been active from a young age and has been around since the early days when Chicago house became a movement.

His sound is funky and stylish, yet carries a mischievous edge that puts you in a cheerful mood.

His work consistently has this vibe, with a cohesive, unified world of its own!

At nightShakedown

At nightShakedown

Known as a brother duo from Switzerland, Shakedown specialize in a sound that fuses disco and house.

What truly put their name on the global map, however, is the groove-house anthem introduced here.

The real allure of this track lies in its irresistibly smooth groove that makes your body move almost on its own.

A driving bassline, filtered synths, and soulful vocals vividly evoke the liberating spirit of the night.

You can feel the unfiltered rush of breaking free from the everyday and losing yourself in the music.

Following their 2001 album “You Think You Know,” this track topped the UK Dance Chart in May 2002 and led to an appearance on the BBC program “Top of the Pops.” If you’re tired of cookie-cutter dance music, surrender yourself to this groove.

Dance (Club Mix)Earth People

This is another house classic that remains highly popular today.

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

Many of its brilliantly crafted phrases were created 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 of all generations and has been reissued multiple times.

The kick rhythm is distinctive.

An addictive, melancholic classic tune.
