See I wouldnt really call this House. Regular ass Club music.

It sure aint that Deep House shit.
 
House music sucks. It's not even music. It's the Techno of people that don't do drugs.

Girl, I see you
Do what you do
Go on, girl, and act a fool
Theres no need to play it cool
Everybody, shake your body
(we gots to make this a real house party)
Come on, come on and stick with me
Ill keep things the way they should be
Keep your house until you sweat
cause you aint seen nothin yet
House is food and you need it
If I feed it, you should eat it
Say, house your body, house your body (2x)
You know, mike g wont steer you wrong
House music all night long
(say what? ) house music all night long (2x)
House music all night long

Maybe some top ten lists?
As for the most recent ish, this is what I got. This is usually what I will play on the weekends. To each their own.

Anything on the Dirtybird label...well almost anything. Some of it can get to be too rave-like for me.
Especially Claude Von Stroke is the best bet.

FreeRange records are always nice as well. It can go from deep to funky.

-Chris Grant - Slow Your Roll (Odds and Ends)

-The Martin Brothers - Stoopit (Christian Martin Remix) (Dirtybird)

-Santiago & Bushido - What's Your Name EP (Robsoul)

-Inland Knights-Come With Me (Drop)

-Bioground- Outstanding Emptiness (Plastic City)

-Subjekt-Stepback (Freerenge)

-Kerri Chandler- Back to the Raw (Deeply Rooted House)

-Del Costa and Pedro Goya- Fuck Yo! (Music For Freaks)

-Bionic Bump Band- Chiggle (Dotbleep)

-Jesse Rose- A-Sided (Dubsided)

timeless acapella
 
to name a few of my favorite soulful house artists:
julius papp
vikter duplaix
lil louis vega
anything on naked music (i.e. lisa shaw)
quentin harris
larry heard
kenny dope
of course mark farina (though i like his mixes better than tracks he actually produces)
 
Regular ass Club music
=
house

its got the beat, thats all it needs
i guess he's also classified as 'garage'
I disagree. You mean to tell me the club music that guidos play in their jeep is that same as Body & Soul stuff.

i mean yeah you got megatrance clubs or whatever but house is still a big enough tent to represent the 'standard' for dance clubs pretty much across the world. it covers everything from roy davis jr. 'gabriel' to deep dish remixing stevie nicks to german minimal but its still 'house,' its still the same beat and its still the common denominator for clubland.

my impression (possibly warped by living in chicago but i get the impression that its this way in much of the rest of the world too) is that the default non-rap club-dance genre is house music to this day
 
the Respect is Burning mixes are nice... Besides the obvious A Night at the Playboy Mansion, especially Vol. 1 and the one DJ Deep did are worth checking out. Although I'm not really op un their new stuff, Cassius' debut album 1999 is a personal fav of mine... the Foxy Brown flip on it is

Etienne de Crecy's Tempovision is a must too.


French house was/is the shit

Armand Van Heldon was huge right around 1997-'98 with his "Professional Widow" Tori Armos remix that tore up the clubs, or in my case rave parties in Chicago as I was "too young to party" legally. I know he had a few more big remixes and helped spawn the bastard "speed garage" subgenre.
Actually it was Todd Edwards from New Jersey that really helped spawn Speed Garage with a few tracks he did at the right time. Armand did that shit after the Speed Garage scene was already growing. I guess he did it early enough for people to think he may have helped spawn it though. He did help give it some attention. Who cares though, Speed Garage is the worst crap ever.

My copy has cue burn. This got played alongside many an Ashley Beedle/Black Sciene Orchestra record.

This is definitely before 1997.

Todd did some great choppy sample arrangements especially with his remixes, and never got much recognition did he?
 
Moodymann! So many of his tracks, but there are some that stick out like: JAN, Shades Of Jae, Tribute To The Soul We Lost, Forevernevermore, Black Mahogani, In Loving Memory and The Thief That Stole My Sad Days. Some of these 12"es can be a little hard to find though, but the albums on Peacefrog shouldn't be that hard to find.

Also Theo Parrish stuff like Summertime Is Here and Falling Up and Andr??s' self titled debut album.

yeah yr right on that, my bad.
he kept up that sound tho - shit he's done since then is very 1 trick, but what a trick it is.
