inspired by the underground house scene in the 90s, Basement Records and Basement Sessions became renowned for their cutting-edge mix of soulful vocals, deep basslines, and infectious beats. Here are 20 underground house records from the 90s that describe the house scene in New York and London.
This track by Kenny “Dope” Gonzalez and Louie Vega of Masters At Work features a classic house beat and a catchy vocal sample. With its jazzy sound and Latin percussion, it became an instant club classic and a favorite at New York’s Sound Factory.
Known as the “King of House Music,” Kerri Chandler’s “Atmosphere” is a deep and soulful track with lush chord progressions and a hypnotic bassline. It’s a perfect example of the “deep house” genre that became popular in the underground club scene in London.
Considered one of the most iconic tracks in house music history, Lil Louis’ “French Kiss” features a seductive vocal sample and a pulsing synth bassline that became instantly recognizable. It was a staple at clubs like New York’s Paradise Garage and London’s Ministry of Sound.
Armand Van Helden’s “The Funk Phenomena” is a high-energy track with a funky bassline and samples from James Brown and Public Enemy. It became a hit in both New York and London and solidified Van Helden’s status as a leading figure in the house music scene.
With its infectious beat and catchy vocal sample, Todd Terry’s “Jumpin'” was a crowd favorite at New York’s Tunnel and London’s Ministry of Sound. Terry’s signature “hard house” style influenced many other producers in the scene.
DJ Sneak’s “You Can’t Hide From Your Bud” is a funky and playful track with a catchy vocal sample and a deep bassline. It became a staple at Chicago’s Warehouse club and was later popularized in the UK by DJs like Sasha and John Digweed.
DJ Pierre’s “Muzik Set You Free” features a sample from First Choice’s “Let No Man Put Asunder” and a driving house beat. It was a favorite at New York’s Club Shelter and helped define the “acid house” genre.
With its soulful vocals and uplifting lyrics, Robert Owens’ “I’ll Be Your Friend” became an anthem of the house music scene in the 90s. It was a staple at clubs like New York’s Palladium and London’s Ministry of Sound.
As one of the pioneers of house music, Frankie Knuckles’ “Tears” is a classic track with a soulful vocal performance by Robert Owens. It became an instant hit at Chicago’s Warehouse and New York’s Sound Factory.
Ten City’s “That’s The Way Love Is” features a powerful vocal performance by Byron Stingily and a catchy piano riff. It became a club favorite in both New York and London and helped define the “garage house” sound.
I´m going a little further back in time this time around. Here are some tracks that really defines my early friendship with club music. These tracks are still solid in every aspect.
You find them all on my IBIZA Classics playlist. If you are looking for current IBIZA tracks check out my current IBIZA playlist.
This is from a time when sampling really started taking part of mainstream tracks and Fatboy Slim was among one of those who pushed the bounderies. His tracks stand the test of time!
This classics might be one of these jams that might didnt get the attention that it deserves. One in spiring thing about this track is how the lyrics supports the music and the other way. Teasing sexy vocals upfront on a classic drum & bass track. “The bass line is shooting up my spine…”
Hall of fame kinda track this one. This track is checking on all boxes. Soulful vocals, organic production and a superb lyrical idea.
This part will not be complete without Everything But The Girl. This band has always been with me. It wouldnt surprise me if I know all their songs by heart. Pure love and that extra club magic added by Todd Terry.
The kings of UK house. This track is pure magic – a forever classic. Shame the Spotify version is has lost the magic. No idea why. This one is da shit!
Jesse Glynne build her entire foundation on the dance scene mainly driven by this track. Route 94 did a masterpiece with this one. Still works magic on the dancefloor.
Here is the first instalment on tracks that inspired me, are regulars in my DJ set or tracks tracks that I come back to over and over again for other reasons. Look out for Part 2, Part 3 etc.
All tracks in these articles are likely to be found in my playlists: IBIZA 2020 PLAYLIST , IBIZA Classics, TechHouse or Organic House
Here´s on of those magic classic tracks that always work. I have played this in a house set, in a tech setting and in lounge sets. It´s pure magic! It also points to another of my favourit artists Everything But The Girl with the smooth vocals and airy production.
Among the most playful tracks with a serious heavy beat that you simply cannot get away from. The Speedy Gonzales sounding vocal sample over a classic Morillo beat makes Djing a pleasure!
One of the finest house interpreations of the MJ track my biggest hero! 4 minutes of awesome groove giving prays to the big master Micheal Jackson
Forever in my Rekordbox. Simply a masterpiece
I wonder if they know how important this track was gonna be when they made it? To me this is one of the tracks that made me keep the faith in house music and despite overplaying by DJ´s this is one that will stand out forever!
I love strong emotional soulful vocals. This track has that. I love organic sounding beats. This track got it! Also this track has some special personal meaning that ties me to a very special person. I always try to finish the night with this one. Get the shiwers every time!
When Cola started rising to the surface, tech house finally got a name among the regular listeners. Thanks to this track people like Fisher could break through a year later. Cola is simply a masterpiece. It also points to the future; techy beats with sexy playful vocals – where we are still heading.
