[Recommendations] Let's List Some House Classics! #2

[Recommendations] Let's List Some House Classics! #1 November 23, 2017

I am writing this in March 2019, and alongside the momentum of Techno and Teach House, Deep House and what was called Major House in the 2000s—“catchy, uplifting” House—seem to be rising again.

Honestly, The Shapeshifters is a name I had not seen for quite some time, but London's huge Printworks is packed. House that is deep yet catchy is getting the crowd going.

This is also a party under the Defected umbrella, branded Glitterbox, and this year it appears set for regular events at London's Ministry of Sound and Ibiza's Hï Ibiza.

This trend will accelerate.

Here is an example of Glitterbox's acts.

That was a long introduction, but with that trend in mind, let's continue listing some House classics.

Derrick May – Strings Of The Strings Of Life

If I remember correctly, the original dates to 1987.

David Morales – Needin’ U

Riva Starr made a revival remix in 2018.

DJ Gregory – Elle

The so-called Balearic sound, evoking Ibiza.

Kaskade – It’s You, It’s Me

One of Kaskade's classics from the OM records era (before the turn to EDM).

The Shapeshifters – Lola’s Theme

This was the breakthrough track for The Shapeshifters mentioned earlier. It received substantial airplay on BBC Radio1 and elsewhere.

Lil’Love – Little Love

This was a hit too.

Michael Gray – The Weekend

I remember Pete Tong playing this frequently on BBC Radio1 as well. I liked its Ian Carey Remix.

In Japan, though, it was pretty much only the Daishi Dance remix being played, haha.

Dave Armstrong – Make Your Move

Many of you have probably heard this vocal line.

Incidentally, Junior Jack's “Stupidisco” came after this.

Also, Oliver Heldens mashes up this track's acapella with his own track “Bunny Dance”.

Axwell – Feel The Vibe

Personally, Axwell is not to my taste, but Axwell had quite a few good tracks before turning to EDM. This is one of them.
