Simon Caldwell gives us a selection that moves through house music's rich history, from Chicago's foundational sounds to modern deep house explorations that still honor the genre's roots. Each track represents a different facet of what makes house music endure, whether it's Moodymann's masterful sampling or Joe Claussell's jazz-infused remixing prowess.

I Can't Kick This Feeling When It Hits - Moodymann

The track that introduced me to Moodymann, thanks to an excellent Melbourne DJ. I was pretty obsessed with this for a while. Taking Chic to new places.

Soul Motive - Into The Night

A lovely, overlooked, release on the great Nuphonic label. The synth solo is a jam.

Cassandra Wilson - Run The Voodoo Down (Joaquin Runs The Voodoo Down Vocal Mix)

Joe Claussell mixing awesome jazz vocalist Cassandra Wilson. The whole double 12" is a gem.
