The Ultimate 90's House Classics [1994 - 1995] vol. 1

We've moved into the mid-nineties with the Ultimate 90's House Classics series which focuses on the years 1994 through 1995.

One of the things you'll notice is that the infusion of Hip Hop with House Music drops off significantly as each genre goes its own way. However, we start to see the emergence of Trance into the mainstream that moves from its infancy into mainstream but isn't quite there yet. Tracks by Opus III, Deep Forest and Josh Wink give us a hint as to what's to come while still incorporating all the elements of House. Oakenfold and Rollo & Sister Bliss are still knocking out big room House tracks before changing directions that elevate them to household status. While these tracks are included in this series — the full-on Trance classics will be preserved for a refresh later this year.

At this point, Soulful House (think MAW, Frankie Knuckles, David Morales C + C Music Factory) and more commercial House music (Love To Infinity, Stone(Bridge), Brothers In Rhythm, Roger Sanchez) along with underground big room tracks (Junior Vasquez, Tony Moran, Armand Van Helden) dominate this period. In the coming years, Big Room goes even BIGGER and takes over the clubs.

I really enjoy putting together these time capsules because it gives me the opportunity to showcase tracks that were massive back in the day but for whatever reason — have fallen into a blackhole of people's memories.

While this series is not the last word on House Music during this period — it's likely the closest anyone has ever attempted at curating and compiling this awesome era of music from which everything you listen to today has sprung.

I'll be back later this weekend with volume two of this series. Until then...ENJOY!
