Ranked No. 5 in 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.

Jack Your Body
1986 · Underground / DJ International
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — 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.
