The revolution began in the early 80s in Chicago.
From its humble beginnings at The Warehouse in Windy City, it spread east to New York’s Paradise Garage, jumped the Atlantic to Europe, and had a Summer of Love in the UK in 1988.
By 1990, house music had engulfed the world, and so began its glory days.

With this in mind, we present to you 20 tracks from the 90s that every house fan should know. Originally we hoped to bring you 20 all-time classic house tracks, but with so much early house lost to the digital space, and tens of thousands of house records to choose from, we decided to focus in on the 90s, a magnificent decade for house.

This list is a rich hodge podge of house music, that includes underground anthems and obvious chart toppers, US classics and European club destroyers. It’ll make you smile, it’ll make you dance, and it might even make you cry. It’s time to get nostalgic.

(As an added bonus, we picked tracks that can still be played today. And like all ‘best of’ lists, you’ll probably find it hard to agree with all of this selection, so join in our celebration of house by listing your anthems in the comments section below).
