The kaleidoscopic landscape of Classic House Tracks! — 1996 – 1997 Volume 4

Volume four of the Ultimate 90's House Classics is more than a mere compilation; it's a vibrant narrative that paints the metamorphosis of Classic House Tracks into something more eclectic and robust. This final installment doesn't just shine a spotlight on a golden era of dance music; it showcases how the genre found new directions and reached new audiences. As we dive into the sounds of the late 90s, we encounter the bold explorations of Club 69 (a.k.a. Peter Rauhofer). Known for his sexy House Music songs catering to the gay community, Club 69 rapidly evolved into a new progressive sphere. The remixes like Funky Green Dogs' "Fired Up" and Kevin Aviance's "Din Da Da" not only hit big but set dance floors ablaze, turning peak hour into an electrifying experience. Simultaneously, names like Tony Moran, Junior Vasquez, Victor Calderone, Ralphi Rosario, and Hex Hector redefined the scene, bringing in a more accessible sound without losing the soul of House. The Classic House Tracks were no longer confined to niche clubs but were resonating with the mainstream, marking the start of a trend that would shape dancefloors for years to come. The era wasn't just about the music; it was about the DJs becoming stars, far beyond the two turntables and a microphone. Clive Davis of Arista records played a significant role in this phenomenon. Recognizing the potential of dance in the pop landscape, Davis pushed artists like Deborah Cox into realms of R&B and Dance, making them household names. As the creators of Party Favorz, our connection with House Music transcends the genres. From Trash Disco, 80's Dance, Eurodance, and Trance, our love is profound, but House Music holds a special place. The Ultimate 90's House Classics series is an emblem of this love, reflecting a comprehensive history of the genre, even though it's impossible to encapsulate everything deserving of recognition. The series is far from over, with 1998 - 1999 set to revive fond memories. Expect more classic house tracks in the summer or early fall. Additionally, the Ultimate Trance series is on the horizon, aiming to wrap up the year with a bang. Some notable tracks that embody the spirit of this volume include: Toni Braxton's "I Don't Want To," elegantly remixed by Franki Knuckles. Me'Shell NdegeOcello's enigmatic "Who Is He And What Is He To You" with Danny Tengalia's N.Y.D.C. Mix. Ruffneck featuring with Yavahn on "Move Your Body," graced by the Mousse T.'s Peppermint remix. Patti LaBelle's "When You Talk About Love," masterfully enhanced by Hex Hector's club mix. Cher's mesmerizing "One By One," taken to new heights by the Junior Vasquez remix.
