Dance to iconic house music hits! Timeless anthems that continue to captivate the world

You Don’t Know MeArmand Van Helden

[Armand Van Helden] You Don’t Know Me

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.”

Deep EndJohn Summit

John Summit – Deep End

It’s a track with a minimal yet highly addictive sound.

The creator is American DJ John Summit, who has the unique background of transitioning from certified public accountant to music producer.

There’s even a story that this piece was completed in a single night.

Its groovy bassline and sensual vocals intertwine to create a world that feels like it draws listeners deep into the city at night.

Released in June 2020 on a prestigious label, it topped the overall Beatport chart for several weeks and is said to have been a turning point in his career.

On a night when you want to feel a bit more grown-up, listen to it with your favorite drink in hand, and the everyday will turn into something special.

I Took A Pill In Ibiza (Seeb Remix)Mike Posner

Mike Posner – I Took A Pill In Ibiza (Seeb Remix) (Explicit)

This is a song by Mike Posner, a versatile artist from the United States.

Posner is also known for his unique background, including completing a cross-country walk across America.

Set to a breezy tropical house sound, the track explores the loneliness and emptiness that can lie behind glittering success.

Perhaps this contrast is what resonates so deeply with listeners.

Originally a quiet ballad, it was remixed and released in March 2016, becoming a worldwide hit.

It was even nominated for Song of the Year at the 59th Grammy Awards.

It evokes that feeling of suddenly coming to your senses at the edge of a dazzling party.

Give it a listen when you want to sink into a slightly bittersweet night.

VIDEO CRASHTyree

Video Crash

There are many different styles of Chicago house, but this is a classic that leans toward the crazy ghetto house sound and later connects to ghetto tech.

Its hallmark is a thunderbolt-like synth that crashes in like sound effects.

It was produced by Tyree Cooper, a central figure who sparked the hip-house movement that exploded in the early ’90s.

This track has a notorious backstory: DJ Funk, a pioneer of ghetto tech who lived next door at the time, copied the entire track data and released the same song.

Incidentally, the later release “VIDEO CRASH” is labeled as the original.

Deep InsideHardrive

Hardrive ‎– Deep Inside [1993]

Featuring a sensual groove that draws you deep into your heart and vocals that speak directly to the soul, this track leaves a lasting impression.

Created under the Hardrive moniker by the legendary New York–based duo Masters At Work, it brilliantly captures inner passion and unspoken emotions.

Included on the Deep Inside EP released in June 1993, it later drew attention for being sampled in Kanye West’s “Fade.” It’s the perfect song for nights spent reflecting far from the bustle of the city, or for moody moments with someone special.

The Whistle SongFrankie Knuckles

The Whistle Song (Re-Directed – 2019 Remaster)

The late legend of house music.

The resident of Chicago’s legendary club The Warehouse—the very place that gave house music its name.

From the earliest days he supported the scene and helped build the foundation of today’s dance music: Frankie Knuckles.

He didn’t release an especially large number of records compared to other DJs, but this work is truly a masterpiece that represents house music like no other, before or since.

Spinal ScratchThomas Bangalter

Thomas Bangalter – Spinal Scratch

A raw track that sounds as if it were influenced by Chicago house.

The regularly dropped scratch timbres and endlessly repeating loops give it a techno-like approach.

No wonder—the track was produced by one half of Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter.

He has had a varied career, including releasing hard techno tracks.

While he’s now a top producer who helped reignite funk, I’ve also heard that the very first band he started was a punk band.
