Chicago house: jack, acid and Trax Records
The originators — Frankie Knuckles, Phuture, Mr. Fingers and the raw jacking tracks that started it all.
Deep and soulful vocal house
Warm keys, gospel-tinged vocals and New Jersey/garage swing from the 90s and 2000s.
Trip-hop and the Bristol sound
Smoky breakbeats, dub bass and haunted vocals from Massive Attack outward.
Italo disco and Euro synth romance
Arpeggiated 80s continental dancefloor pop, all neon melodies and accented vocals.
Balearic and sunset selections
Blissed, sun-warmed records built for terraces and the long drive home.
French touch and filter house
Compressed disco loops and Paris-shaped funk from Daft Punk, Stardust and friends.
Nu-jazz and Ninja Tune downtempo
Live-feeling jazz-inflected chillout from the late-90s lounge and coffee-table era.
Disco, funk and soul foundations
P-Funk, boogie, garage-disco anthems and the soul records house was built on.
The jazz canon and spiritual jazz
Blue Note and Impulse! landmarks, from Kind of Blue to Karma.
Instrumental hip-hop and beat tapes
Dusty sample loops and head-nod instrumentals in the Shadow/Dilla lineage.
Contemporary deep house
Present-day deep, soulful and garage-leaning house from newer producers.
Modern club techno: melodic and peak time
Big-room melodic techno and driving tech house made for main-stage hours.
Chillout, sunrise and new-age electronica
Soft-focus melodic downtempo, mostly recent, for comedowns and slow mornings.
