Track: Moving On Up (MK Like A Man Dub)
Artist: M People
Year: 1994
Label: Epic
M People scored their biggest hit in 1993 with Moving On Up, successfully bridging the worlds of house, pop, and R&B with their colossal song. Marc Kinchen won the prize for best remix - another perfect execution of his vocal dub mastery, splicing syllables into catchy melodies. Laid down over a deep house bassline and you've got a killer track.

Track: Love Changes (Deep Mix)
Artist: MK (ft. Alana)
Year: 1993
Label: Charisma
Love Changes is a very solid MK production and worthy of inclusion on any collection of classic house tracks. The Deep Mix has a standout bassline, but still allows Alana's beautiful vocals to shine front and center. As always, MK's signature vocal dub mastery is still in effect.

Bonus: I don't remember any music video from back in the day, but one made its way to YouTube. Rare to see MK and Alana in front of the camera:
I created this site to showcase some of my favorite classic house tracks. Most selections are from the 80s and 90s with a strong - but not exclusive - deep house, progressive and old school Chicago influence. Since some have asked, there's no single definition of classic house music, but Ishkur has an excellent guide to electronica music that can serve as a primer for anyone interested.
