French Kiss
1989 · Diamond / Epic
Ranked No. 7 in Chicago House
The tempo drops to a near-halt in the middle and then climbs back. A structural gimmick that should not work, executed so confidently it became one of house music's defining moments.
French Kiss
1989 · Diamond / Epic
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — Looped and Filtered
A record whose entire architecture is one filter sweep held past the point of comfort, and then held longer. Every filtered house record of the next decade is downstream of it.
