Baeka - Right At It

One of those tunes that I've known and loved for ages, yet only just worked out what it is.  A very summery house track but full of quality.

Ralphi Rosario - You Used To Hold Me (Kenny's Mix)

A proper old school track with elements that wouldn't be dreamt of nowadays yet I just want to get up and dance to it.

Master C & J - Don't Let Love Pass You By (D'Julz Edit)

It's a bit gloomy but has an important message within the dark house beats.

Theo Parrish - Friendly Children

I've been searching for this track for about two years - a percussive element with a very catchy la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la la la over it.  Necessary.

Lil' Louis - Clap Your Hands (DJ Q Re-Groove)

This is a minor re-edit of an absolute stone-wall house classic from the 90's, which makes you feel good and with a slight tribal sound will make you want to dance.

Naeem Johnson & Koffee TheFirstFloetress - Zanzibar Days

This is a bit of a grower, a house track with a woman singing over the top about how good the old days were - yet this track is good enough to replicate the classic house sound.

Groovy.

Einzelkind - 808 Rhythm Traxx 3

A really stripped back piece of percussive house - back to basics in more ways than John Major managed.

Eman & Doc Link - Not 4 U

House track with a hip-hop attitude to it, and a nice bass-driven beat.  Not on Youtube at the time of writing.

Matrix - Get Out (Kerri Chandler Remix)

You've heard the back-drop before, you've heard the beat before, you've heard these kind of spoken vocals over the top.  But it just works.  You got a brand new VCR for Christmas and now it has a peanut butter jelly sandwich in it.

Sterling Void & Paris Brightledge - It's All Right

Classic house track that has such a good feeling and such recognisable vocals - this will put you on a high if nothing else does.  Often very overlooked.

Has a lot of meaning to me right now.

DJ Koze - XTC

This track is everywhere.  A spoken-word prophesy about the drug, ecstasy.

Shan - Work It (Piano Mix)

Old school house track that just makes me want to jump up and dance.  I'm just having a little desk boogey instead.  Except it was released this year.

Released in 2015 on Running Back.

Chris Carrier - Street Talk

Chris Carrier makes really reliable solid house tunes, and this just tickles me that little extra with the tiny little 80's snippets

Released on the ever-popular OFF Recordings in 2012.

Seuil - Do The Left Thing

A very deep subtle sub-bass undercuts this simple underground house track.  Do you love me?

Released in 2015 on Eklo.

Burnski - The Hours

Burnski is always a reliable producer straddling the house/tech-house line, and this flits between piano-based highs and a really dependable chunky beat.

Released this year, 2015, on Holic Trax.

The Black Madonna - Exodus

I am becoming such a big fan of this Chicago-based lady.  Not just musically but reading her intelligent output through interviews - she isn't afraid to touch issues many leave alone.  Many people will recognise this - a very piano-based remake of a soulful classic.

This is just an exceptional piece of work and exceptionally feel-good.  Released on Stripped & Chewed last year.

DJ Rush - I Like It Like This (Rush Classic Mix)

Proper old raw sounding house and they just don't make it like this any more.  Pumping.

I cannot find much in the way of information about it.

Stephanie Cooke - Holding On To Your Love (Mood II Swing Dub)

An odd mix of soulful house with electronic stabs of urgency.  Would be a really good way to insert some soulful house into an underground/tech house set - or vice versa.

Released in 1996 and the vinyl is just £1.26 on Discogs.  Surely not for much longer.

DJ Qu - SS1

What a brilliant track this is.  A driving house track, with suspense built up, and shuttering claps.  I was hoping the Secretsundaze record label was going to match the quality of the night and this surpasses expectations.
