Looking forward to it!

40. Waveform Transmission - V2.0-2.1

39. Lee Pearson Jr. Collective - Love's A Secret Place As a former coworker put it to me, this song is when you're chatting up a girl at the bar, things are going great, you start talking about plans, hopes, and dreams...

38. America - Horse With No Name It's weird that a Neil Young rip off has way more dancefloor potential than anything actually by Neil. This one's actually cosmic.

37. GQ - Lies (Theo Parrish Edit) One of two disco edits in this list. It deserves its place especially because of how bad the original needs an edit, the part he cut out is silly and kills the mood. This version brings out the soul, it's like what a jeweler does to a diamond.

36. Digi-Trax - Gonna Get You (Factory Mix) Perfect example of shuffly yet deep sample based mid 90s house. One where the musicianship of the drum machines, samplers, sequencer really comes out.

35. Nostalgic - Going Home Hard to pick, but I think this is John Beltran's best record, which is saying something for someone with a catalogue like his.

34. Incognito - Givin' It Up (Uplifting Club Mix)

33. Rhythim Is Rhythim - Icon (Vince Watson Remix) Loving, wise, dramatic take on a classic.

32. Fleetwood Mac - Dreams

31. The Tone - Feeling Free Ooh la la, la lalalalala

30. Deep Sensation - Somehow, Somewhere (There's A Soul Heaven) The first record to bring tears to my eyes in a club.

29. Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence (Timo Maas Remix)

28. David Axelrod - The Warnings This entry is for the entire side of this album, but I couldn't find a youtube video with all of them together, so here's part 1.

27. Donald Byrd - Wind Parade Funnily enough, you can generally find the two 12"s with the three essential tracks from this album for a better price than the LP itself, and guess what, they sound better too!
