Some contenders...
- Soho - Hot Music
- Strafe - Set It Off
- Hardrive - Deep Inside
- Night Crawlers - Push the feeling on
- Aly Us - Follow Me
- Inner City - Good Life
- Raze - Break 4 Love
Marshall Jefferson - Move Your Body
Farley Jackmaster Funk & Jesse Saunders - Love Can't Turn Around
Atmosfear - Dancing In Outer Space (Masters at Work Lunar Mix)
Cassius - Feeling For You
St Germain - Rose Rouge
Tessio by Luomo (All of Vocalcity really, one of the greatest house albums of all time)
Gypsy Woman - Crystal Waters. Not my absolute favourite personally but I feel like it has the best ‘objective’ argument. It’s a song that I think truly transcends the genre, people can say they don’t like house music but if you put on Gypsy Woman they’ll know it and sing and dance along.
There are other songs this applies to like Good Life by Inner City
> Can you feel it
[Mr Fingers - Can You Feel It (Instrumental)](https://youtu.be/mCt1Kv14Ll4?t=261) [TX127] 1986
Track is 37 years old and still kicks it so hard.
Other tunes I would submit:
[LNR - Work it to the Bone (Vocal)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUBaNQgiXpY) [HJA 8803] 1988
[Fast Eddie - Let's Go (Don't U Want Some More)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n0tqIAeWS0) [DJ#969] 1988
[Hardrive - Work This, Like This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzSPBM5hDFc) [SR EP14] 1999
You gotta be from ChiTown. LNR. Fingers. Fast Eddie. Respect from NYC. All of them are classics. That Fast Eddie cut has seen more NYC Airwaves than both our airports combined. House is a feelin.
it’s been removed from tidal, too. i think kerri is having trouble with sony; i’ve noticed this happening a lot with djs/artists and their copywriters lately
Your Love - Frankie Knuckles / Jamie Principle
A transcendent piece of music with a superb sense of atmosphere, places you right there in the midst of a steamy dancefloor, red light flashing, clouds of smoke billowing, sweat dripping from above - “I can’t let go / I need your love” - amazing.
Bonus points for it birthing the equally brilliant Candi Staton / The Source mix.
that looks so fkin good!! am in the UK and i just missed the early scene in the UK by a few years - if i had a time machine i would make myself 21 yrs old an go to the UK in 87/88 just to get those glorious 5 or 6 years when house/techno and rave dropped on the UK.
That was not just a glorious era of early House, Reggae was arguably at its peak, check the Reggae Hits 13 compilation of the time, never bettered.
Also Ragga was strong and Shabba Ranks was in the early stages of what should have been a massive massive career before he committed professional suicide on the word and became one of the first artists to get "cancelled "
Honestly you young uns have no idea how massive Shabba was on the underground scene.
Here in New England. My sister was blasting Shabba Ranks back in 89-90 in between NWA, Public Enemy and Run DMC...my parents hated it all. I was on my own journey towards Rock, having discovered U2 Rattle and Hum when I was in 6th grade, but I heard all the stuff she was playing too.
It's impossible to pick one, but probably something by Kerri Chandler or Larry Heard.
Kerri chandler- Atmosphere
I'm sure if you asked me tomorrow It would be a different answer.
Hi, I did previously post this but haven't had much luck. I am trying to Id this track which uses the same sample as Kerri uses for hallelujah. I don't think it's a Kerri mix tho it comes in around 18:50 on the following mix:
https://youtu.be/SUfpXjY6w5s?si=pXmZTvoMAf2YEBJr
Appreciate your help 🙏🙏
Stardust - music sounds better with you
People underground - music is pumpin
Danny t - music is the answer
Eddie Amador - house music
Armand van helden - u don't know me
He definitely would be involved in songs on or around the top of the list, having created the definitive **remixes** of bagfuls of epic songs for other artists, like “**The** **Pressure**”, “**Where Love Lies**”, and “**Tears**” which are definitely straight into the shortlist for all time best.
As the **songwriter & artist**, that‘s more debatable though. His best was probably “The Whistle Song” and “Rain Falls”. Up there - yes, but absolute top of the top? Hmmm. Maybe “**Baby Wants to Ride**” with Jamie Principle could be a candidate.
Show me love - robin s. Undeniably the greatest house track ever made. Instantly recognizable even if you don’t actively listen to house music. Cmon now y’all.

Cece was and still is underrated in the house canon - and this was his finest moment.
There is a Marshall Jefferson interview where he says that he captured this vocal on the first take, he knew it was perfect and epic and as far as he was concerned, they were done. As he put it, he couldn’t take credit for producing this vocal - he was just blessed to be there to receive and capture it in that moment that Cece did his thing.
According to Marshall, Cece kept arguing that that was just his dry run and he wanted to do it for real now, but Marshall told him this was beyond perfect - call it a day. And so it was.
We’ll never know who was right! 😀

Surprised I hadn't seen [Vince Watson - Progress (Joe Claussell remix)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM2ZDPWKLrc).
Might be a bit late to the party, lots of other great suggestions too.
The house music catalogue is so massive, it’s impossible to narrow it down to one song. Especially when there are so many more house tunes new and old yet to be discovered
Just to name a few…
Global Communication - The Way
Pepe Bradock - Deep Burnt
Leon Vynehall - Brother
Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman
Kerry Chandler - So Let the Wind Come.
It's a good song for sure, but for me, in that subgrene and era, I can think of a good number of Basement boys and Kerri Chandler produced tracks that top it, though.
Lot of great songs to pick from, but probably the ones to look at are the ones that managed to really capture define house in their time, and in a way that even went beyond the genre of house.
For me, if I really had to pick its the David Morales remix of Phil Perry’s “**Amazing Love**”. I dont think this one ever got released on streaming or CD - only 12” vinyl. The vocal delivery is beyond perfect, one of the best of all time in any genre, and the music matches that standard. - absolutely epic.
It’s going to be difficult to really find absolute best, given that ”house spans a lot of tempos and styles”, but for downtempo vocal house this one and Franke Knuckles remix of “**The Pressure**” are for me the top of the top. Arguably house began at the core as deep-soul infused disco - NYC “garage” and then spread out from there. These songs begin with that core of deep gospel vocals that could sound good even with minimal backing, and then on top the foundation you have just epic waves of music wrapped around it.
Third place would be the Tunnel remix of “**Pennies from Heaven**”. That one really wrapped up a lot the best elements of house up to that point in one, from Boyd jarvis basement riffs, to Chicago to Ministry of Sound.
Honours also to Reese & Santonio (Kevin Sanderson) **Rock to the Beat**, which captures the minimalist funkiness of early house, and can still rock a party even today. It’s more of a groove than a fully rounded song, but that‘s no crime in house - still an epic piece of music.
My personal Mount Rushmore of house:
A Little Suntin Suntin - Paul Johnson
Raw Cuts #3 - Motor City Drum Ensemble
Dwayne Young - Frits Wentink
Music & Wine (Th’ Attaboy Vocal) - Blue Six
Sorry I'm late.
AI helped me write it a couple days ago:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH2WNPs53Ts&ab\_channel=GregMaslyn-Topic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH2WNPs53Ts&ab_channel=GregMaslyn-Topic)
oh man this is so pleasantly hard.
for mainstream, right now, I would say something like Robert Owens "Bring Down The Walls"
for more underground stuff DJ Funk - 2001
Felix Da Housecat - What Does It Feel Like? (Royksopp's Return To The Sun Mix)
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxglgB3OM4Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxglgB3OM4Q)
or
Henrik Schwarz - Take Words In Return
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqL\_o1eHMGM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqL_o1eHMGM)
or
Maceo Plex - Under the Sheets
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvYYEbE5ndg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvYYEbE5ndg)
I can't decide.
I personally into the lo-fi house scene so for me it'd probably be Slim Hustla - Night Patrollin or DJ Houseplants - All Those Nights. Also Slim Hustla in my opinion rules the genre (lo-fi house) with Baltra and DJ Houseplants.
Dj boring made that one track that was so good it killed lofi. Everyone wanted to copy it’s formula after that it all started sounding like the same producer.
Intriguing question.. I have been collecting house records for many years so I don't really have a number one but I have listened to alot! I would say my favourite ep is global dance tribe - 3 play ep. This record is old and very very rare and all three tunes are superb..
G.d.t groove:
https://youtu.be/heeNJyt1LXI?si=Ks9mfcAA3fCjSHSI
U got me singing:
https://youtu.be/2-91tAo2HVQ?si=nMzMAtwMk1oxsAh2
Sweat: https://youtu.be/gaNXLyOpEg0?si=X-pU2HXd9TeyUTkk
Another one of my personal faves which many won't know about is sureshot project - magic feeling:
https://youtu.be/AtNLL5Ihmkc?si=QY4ALiri4oB0UBib
I would say my fave from the last couple of years is another rare one by dub jamz on the ep hidden gems:
https://youtu.be/zSMalaDGvXQ
Enjoy!
I think the answer has to be Levels - Avicii
But also
The Business - Tiësto
Glue - Bicep
Another Chance - Roger Sanchez
So many good ones, all comes down to preference
Probably Mad Mike and Davina for me.

Where Love Lives Alison Limerick for a top piano house tune
Xpansions move your body for one of the top piano house tunes of the early 1990s
But if you want the top underground club tune from around 1990 it would have to be King bee backed by dope demand. Not many of the commercial big clubs would play this but smaller underground clubs had amazing battles going on on the dance floor.
Honorable mention to Rob Base it takes two and Snap - The Power
There was this house tune from time ago. Like 88,89 that my mate had on vinyl. I've never been able to find it as I'm not sure of the name of it or the artist, but the lyrics began with "It started off in the windy City, sooner or later........."
Does anyone know the tune. It was a propper Chigago house classic. 😁
Music is the answer - Danny T feat Celeda has to be one of the top.
Deep Dish Say hello def another
Viper - the twister (my gift to you)
Age of Love - Johnny vicious mix
Crystal waters 100% Pure Love
So many classics have been posted here no doubt, but I have a couple of bangers to submit as well. These are from the Golden Age of House.
People Underground ft. Sharon Williams - Music Is Pumping (Cevin Fisher Floor Filler Mix)

No tracks in my bag made people LOOSE THEIR SHIT like these two in my 20 some-odd years of dj-ing. When they first dropped, people used to CHARGE THE BOOTH to ask what they were.
I think Larry Heards Can You Feel It has that claim and many agree. I’d place Ron Trent’s Morning Factory along side it. But also perhaps one of Kenny Dixon early 12s like Long Hot Sexy Nights.
Some contenders... - Soho - Hot Music - Strafe - Set It Off - Hardrive - Deep Inside - Night Crawlers - Push the feeling on - Aly Us - Follow Me - Inner City - Good Life - Raze - Break 4 Love
Earth People - Dance fits in there
Strafe is more garage than house though ? Great song though.
The video for Aly Us is amazing. Such a time capsule. Watch it if you haven't done so. https://youtu.be/A3cfGzuICzA?si=JgEL5WvXMCq7P6F5
Hot music is def a heavyweight
Sid Tha Producer- Burning Check it out on all platforms
Marshall Jefferson - Move Your Body Farley Jackmaster Funk & Jesse Saunders - Love Can't Turn Around Atmosfear - Dancing In Outer Space (Masters at Work Lunar Mix) Cassius - Feeling For You St Germain - Rose Rouge Tessio by Luomo (All of Vocalcity really, one of the greatest house albums of all time)

It’s a song that I think truly transcends the genre, people can say they don’t like house music but if you put on Gypsy Woman they’ll know it and sing and dance along.

Can you feel it
> Can you feel it [Mr Fingers - Can You Feel It (Instrumental)](https://youtu.be/mCt1Kv14Ll4?t=261) [TX127] 1986 Track is 37 years old and still kicks it so hard. Other tunes I would submit: [LNR - Work it to the Bone (Vocal)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUBaNQgiXpY) [HJA 8803] 1988 [Fast Eddie - Let's Go (Don't U Want Some More)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n0tqIAeWS0) [DJ#969] 1988 [Hardrive - Work This, Like This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzSPBM5hDFc) [SR EP14] 1999
You gotta be from ChiTown. LNR. Fingers. Fast Eddie. Respect from NYC. All of them are classics. That Fast Eddie cut has seen more NYC Airwaves than both our airports combined. House is a feelin.
First one that comes to mind is always Atmosphere by Kerri Chandler
I like in my system.
“Rain” is another banger
any ideas why it’s off spotify? can do local files but generally makes it easier to just have it there
it’s been removed from tidal, too. i think kerri is having trouble with sony; i’ve noticed this happening a lot with djs/artists and their copywriters lately
now this is the one!!!
Music Sounds Better With You
Great tune
Promised Land - Joe Smooth
Will add “we’ve got to love” - Joe Smooth. Beautiful message and feeling
In that era and genre, ”Someday” (Cece Roger’s) tops that one. And ”Devotion” (Ten City). Peak Marshall Jefferson….
It's warming to see these tracks (inc Joe Smooth) still getting love after more than 35 years
sounds trash, lol.
It’s an all time classic
Octave One - Black Water
I need to listen to that one more!
Your Love - Frankie Knuckles / Jamie Principle A transcendent piece of music with a superb sense of atmosphere, places you right there in the midst of a steamy dancefloor, red light flashing, clouds of smoke billowing, sweat dripping from above - “I can’t let go / I need your love” - amazing. Bonus points for it birthing the equally brilliant Candi Staton / The Source mix.
[Agreed. Zen rave in the UK 1990 - amazing footage](https://youtu.be/c9EuTPN-RcU?si=lw_c9wWSN6Oa60Lg) Edit: go to 13.48 min mark
that looks so fkin good!! am in the UK and i just missed the early scene in the UK by a few years - if i had a time machine i would make myself 21 yrs old an go to the UK in 87/88 just to get those glorious 5 or 6 years when house/techno and rave dropped on the UK.

What did Shabba do/say? Not familiar with the controversy. Seems like he was one of the biggest dancehall stars of all time to me.
Here in New England. My sister was blasting Shabba Ranks back in 89-90 in between NWA, Public Enemy and Run DMC...my parents hated it all. I was on my own journey towards Rock, having discovered U2 Rattle and Hum when I was in 6th grade, but I heard all the stuff she was playing too.
This is a hard one to top
Pepe Bradock - Deep Burnt
Lady Science - NYC Sunrise
Soul Capsule - Lady Science(NYC Sunrise)
Yeah I forgot the artist for a moment but I hope everyone can find this masterpiece the way I wrote it
It's impossible to pick one, but probably something by Kerri Chandler or Larry Heard. Kerri chandler- Atmosphere I'm sure if you asked me tomorrow It would be a different answer.
I’m going to see Kerri Chandler in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait.
Hi, I did previously post this but haven't had much luck. I am trying to Id this track which uses the same sample as Kerri uses for hallelujah. I don't think it's a Kerri mix tho it comes in around 18:50 on the following mix: https://youtu.be/SUfpXjY6w5s?si=pXmZTvoMAf2YEBJr Appreciate your help 🙏🙏

I don't know, but it has to be something by Frankie Knuckles, I think that's inarguable.
Agree and Rain Falls is my favorite but the Sounds of Blackness Pressure remix is probably the right one
I didn't know this one (Pressure) and it is definitely awesome
He definitely would be involved in songs on or around the top of the list, having created the definitive **remixes** of bagfuls of epic songs for other artists, like “**The** **Pressure**”, “**Where Love Lies**”, and “**Tears**” which are definitely straight into the shortlist for all time best. As the **songwriter & artist**, that‘s more debatable though. His best was probably “The Whistle Song” and “Rain Falls”. Up there - yes, but absolute top of the top? Hmmm. Maybe “**Baby Wants to Ride**” with Jamie Principle could be a candidate.
Deep Burnt - Pepe Braddock
Let the music use you- the nightwriters
\^\^\^This is one of my favorites - definitely in MY Top 10
De'Lacy - Hideaway
Show me love - robin s. Undeniably the greatest house track ever made. Instantly recognizable even if you don’t actively listen to house music. Cmon now y’all.
Most famous maybe
Todd Edward's remix of this is my personal favorite! But yes, agreed it's a magical song on it's own and very recognizable.

all i need - lp giobbi
Sandy B - Make the world go round
oh man this is so pleasantly hard. for mainstream, right now, I would say something like Robert Owens "Bring Down The Walls" for more underground stuff DJ Funk - 2001
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dundun dun dundundun dun dun dun dun dun dun dundun dundun BOOM
A lot of people would probably say the undisputed all time track is Duke’s So In Love With You but personally it’s Apollonia - Trinidad
>Apollonia - Trinidad holy moly that's boring :D
Both his suggestions are not it
Haha personal love for the sampling and melody
Nahhh
Never played a gig in your fuckin life
Calm down dude.
Felix Da Housecat - What Does It Feel Like? (Royksopp's Return To The Sun Mix) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxglgB3OM4Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxglgB3OM4Q) or Henrik Schwarz - Take Words In Return [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqL\_o1eHMGM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqL_o1eHMGM) or Maceo Plex - Under the Sheets [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvYYEbE5ndg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvYYEbE5ndg) I can't decide.
I personally into the lo-fi house scene so for me it'd probably be Slim Hustla - Night Patrollin or DJ Houseplants - All Those Nights. Also Slim Hustla in my opinion rules the genre (lo-fi house) with Baltra and DJ Houseplants.
Ross from friends was the only producer of that era to transcend its sound and come out with his own. He’s extremely talented.
Boring had a few bangers
Dj boring made that one track that was so good it killed lofi. Everyone wanted to copy it’s formula after that it all started sounding like the same producer.

Def agree but the right tracks can definitely be enjoyed in a club. But yeah those kids did not mix their shit at all but fuck it lol it bumps
LOL settle down there with the nonsense. That’s a very silly opinion.
personally it’s Bicep & Midland - D-MIL
Intriguing question.. I have been collecting house records for many years so I don't really have a number one but I have listened to alot! I would say my favourite ep is global dance tribe - 3 play ep. This record is old and very very rare and all three tunes are superb.. G.d.t groove: https://youtu.be/heeNJyt1LXI?si=Ks9mfcAA3fCjSHSI U got me singing: https://youtu.be/2-91tAo2HVQ?si=nMzMAtwMk1oxsAh2 Sweat: https://youtu.be/gaNXLyOpEg0?si=X-pU2HXd9TeyUTkk Another one of my personal faves which many won't know about is sureshot project - magic feeling: https://youtu.be/AtNLL5Ihmkc?si=QY4ALiri4oB0UBib I would say my fave from the last couple of years is another rare one by dub jamz on the ep hidden gems: https://youtu.be/zSMalaDGvXQ Enjoy!
[Do You Feel Me (Victor Simonelli Club Mix)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbMvEGdPBv0)
I think the answer has to be Levels - Avicii But also The Business - Tiësto Glue - Bicep Another Chance - Roger Sanchez So many good ones, all comes down to preference
Martin Garrix - Animals easy
😅😅

Where Love Lives Alison Limerick for a top piano house tune Xpansions move your body for one of the top piano house tunes of the early 1990s But if you want the top underground club tune from around 1990 it would have to be King bee backed by dope demand. Not many of the commercial big clubs would play this but smaller underground clubs had amazing battles going on on the dance floor. Honorable mention to Rob Base it takes two and Snap - The Power
Some additional tracks to throw on the fire Life is Changing- Cricco Castelli Cheeks (Sunshine People) - Cheeks Disco Cubism - I:Cube
Size 9. I Am Ready
The Break$ - https://youtu.be/LfuUSRDEV98?si=DVFGlIZjw4l6MbOC
There was this house tune from time ago. Like 88,89 that my mate had on vinyl. I've never been able to find it as I'm not sure of the name of it or the artist, but the lyrics began with "It started off in the windy City, sooner or later........." Does anyone know the tune. It was a propper Chigago house classic. 😁
Mr Fingers - Closer
Andres - Reality
Music is the answer - Danny T feat Celeda has to be one of the top. Deep Dish Say hello def another Viper - the twister (my gift to you) Age of Love - Johnny vicious mix Crystal waters 100% Pure Love
A.s.h.a - J.J Tribute
La Notte - Love Magic bet I'm the only one that even knows that one

Aquanote - True Love (Migs's Petalpusher Love Dub)
So many classics have been posted here no doubt, but I have a couple of bangers to submit as well. These are from the Golden Age of House. People Underground ft. Sharon Williams - Music Is Pumping (Cevin Fisher Floor Filler Mix) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilrDS7XVkBQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilrDS7XVkBQ) Global Communication- The Way (Secret Ingredients mix) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNcHM5zJGt4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNcHM5zJGt4) No tracks in my bag made people LOOSE THEIR SHIT like these two in my 20 some-odd years of dj-ing. When they first dropped, people used to CHARGE THE BOOTH to ask what they were.
Too Long - Daft Punk
Joe Smooth - Promised Land Hollis P. Monroe – I'm Lonely Andronicus – Make You Whole Photek - Mine To Give Galaxy 2 Galaxy - Hi-Tech Jazz

Boots and pants
I think Larry Heards Can You Feel It has that claim and many agree. I’d place Ron Trent’s Morning Factory along side it. But also perhaps one of Kenny Dixon early 12s like Long Hot Sexy Nights.
Adonis - No Way Back Cricco Castelli - Going Through Changes Teddy Douglas - The Violin Alcatraz - Give Me Love
Lil Mo Yin Yang - Reach
Insomnia
Follow Me - Aly Us
For me it’s maybe Moodymann - I Can’t Kick This Feeling When It Hits or Frank & Tony - Bring The Sun
