I reckon there's plenty of house music out there which fully deserves to be discussed here (hmm... deserves? Am I implying this list is worth aspiring to be dicussed on? Anyway...) I know that many people on this list have some sort of chip on their shoulder about "stupid" dance music but when you start dissing Mark&Tom GC for creating some of the most sublime house music money can buy... Well I dunno. House Music is the SOURCE. (hell there nothing like a recent convert is there :)

No, you can't just use the word house as an insult. I love 76:14 and PM as much as anyone and the way/the deep isn't really all that different in style and production values to these releases. Looks like someone just can't get past the 4/4 beat. If it had a break beat in it like much of 76:14 I bet you'd lap it up. Try the modwheel's (another GC alias for those that don't know mix of Espiritu's Man don't cry. Its house - with a break and is beautiful. To anti house types - may I suggest a remedial course of Herbert, Motorbass, DJ Sneak, Green Velvet, The ModWheel, PaperClip People (that's Carl Craig btw, technoheads), Super Discount and many more... And while I'm at it - stop looking down your noses at jump up jungle. All you drill'n'bassers take the new CD from Aprodite Recordings, or anything from Urban Takeover (especially Mickey Finn's Drop Top Caddy) stick it up your arse, and see how long you can sit still.
