  1. 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.

  2. 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.
