### [Jack Your Body](https://waxonia.com/track/steve-silk-hurley--jack-your-body/)

*1986 · Underground / DJ International · No. 5 in [Chicago House](https://waxonia.com/genre/chicago-house/)*

The first house record to top the UK singles chart, which is how most of Britain found out this music existed at all. Stripped, mechanical, relentless.

*1986 · Underground / DJ International · Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — On a Machine](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-chicago-on-a-machine/)*

A record made of almost nothing, which went to number one in Britain anyway. The clearest ancestor of the idea that a loop held long enough stops being a loop and becomes a song.
