  1. Your Love

    1987 · Trax

    Ranked No. 2 in Chicago House

    A synth arpeggio, a bassline and a whispered vocal. The Godfather of House proved the form needed almost nothing, provided what was there was perfect.

  2. Your Love

    1987 · Trax

    Picked by Sung to Someone

    Jamie Principle wrote it as a bedroom demo: one voice, speaking to one absent person. Frankie Knuckles kept that scale intact when he turned it into a record a warehouse could hold, and it never once stops being addressed to somebody.

  3. Your Love

    1987 · Trax

    Picked by The Waxonia Desk — In the Room

    It circulated on tape for years before anybody pressed it. A city's music is a strange object when its most famous song exists first as a cassette somebody made you a copy of.

  4. Your Love

    1987 · Trax

    Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred

    It circulated on cassette for years before anyone pressed it, which tells you what it did to a room. Still the most romantic record house has.
