In the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) scene, there is probably
no more popular sub genre than House music. Originating in Chicago in the early
1980's, it is now one of the most recognizable and enjoyed genres. It has
spawned many sub-genres such as Tech House, Deep House, and Electro House to
name a few. And, indeed, it has now firmly entrenched itself in the mainstream
Pop music scene.
As of September 2012, many of the Top 40 hits are
House-influenced: Feel So Close by Calvin Harris, Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae
Jepsen, and Lights by Ellie Goulding.
However, I want to talk about what I like to call
"real" House music (which might be incorrect to those purists out
there, but oh well), and introduce what I think are the top 5 best House tracks
out there right now. There are some tracks from the House sub-genres in here as
well.
5. Sunahama (Kazusa and Mango)
I discovered this track quite by accident while previewing
music on Beatport. Having spent some time in Japan, the name of the producer
caught my attention, so I gave it a listen. Although this is categorized as
Progressive House, it has a real deep feel and a nice laid-back groove.
Favorite Bits: The overall laid-back groove, and at 2:06.
Nice airy arps introduced here.
4. How Long (Kaskade & Inpetto with Late Night Alumni)
Originally released on Kaskade's Fire & Ice album
(October 2011), he played this track during his Freaks Of Nature tour as a
mashup with Eric Prydz' Allein remix.
Favorite Bits: Becky Jean Williams' vocals, of course.
3. Allein (Eric Prydz)
Released in May of this year, this track is a remix of
Allein, Allein, originally by Eric Chase. During Kaskade's Freaks Of Nature
tour, he mashed up this track with How Long. Wow. Fantastic.
Favorite Bits: The hook, and the use of the original Allein,
Allein sample throughout the track.
2. The Veldt (Deadmau5 and Chris James)
Although this track released in April of this year (2012),
it is still a fantastic track. Joel Zimmerman (aka Deadmau5) produced the song
as a tribute to Ray Bradbury, and is based on one of Bradbury's short stories
entitled The Veldt.
During a live streaming session in March, Deadmau5
introduced the song, and connected with vocalist Chris James the next day via
Twitter, impressed by James' lyrics that referred to events in the short story.
Favorite bits: Chris James' vocal delivery is fantastic, and
the melodic hook gets pleasantly stuck in your head for hours.
1. Shine (Late Night Alumni)
I'm actually glad I waited to finish this article until this
track released (today, September 18th, 2012). I originally heard this song
during Late Night Alumni's concert tour earlier this year, and out of a
remarkable set list, this one stood out as my favorite (closely followed by
Empty Streets). So, it makes it as my #1 track for September.
Favorite bits: Becky Jean Williams vocal delivery is always
divine, and, I love the break at 2:22.
I'm sure that there are many other tunes that deserve a
"top 5 best" status, but these are the ones that have my attention
right now.
