I'm actually on a similar tune gathering mission.
A+H DB4, Technics 1210's x2, F1, X1MK2 x2, MaschineMk2, Akai LPK 25, MF3D, XDJ-1000 x2.
Don't mean to self promote, but the first half of my mixes might be a good place to look

I've also been digging these recently
Hope that helps.
Seriously dig for the tunes yourself.
Yeah it's easy to ask for suggestions, but it's much better to hunt for them yourself.
So you posted Ejeca, so find out what labels they have released on, check the releases on those labels, find more artists you like and keep repeating.
A word of warning, there is a lot better to be found that was actually released in the 90's rather than now, there some good producers putting out that revival house sound, but a lot of it is very generic, seems people have forgotten how to look for new samples.
But there is still a lot of good stuff to be found, you just have to dig for it.

Every recommendation thus far on this thread is an avenue I have very much explored previously. I don't want to be a dick and say, "That's not what I wanted BRO!" So yeah, I wanted to hopefully hear material I have yet to discover. Hasn't happened probably because I spend 10+ hours a week listening to stuff. Thanks for the tips though.![]()
Check out artists like:
- Move D
- Vakula
- Iron Curtis
- KiNK
- DJ Jus-ED
- Mr G
- Anton Zap
- Fred P (Black Jazz Consortium)
- DJ Sprinkles

AND labels like Underground Quality & Rush Hour (basically 80% of the sound coming out of Holland)
Happy hunting![]()

True, good point, can't argue with that, 94-96 were some of my favourite timesAlthough they tended to more of a UK reflection of the mid 90's US House/Garage sound IMHO as opposed to a more distinct UK sound bubbling up from London/Sunday Scene circa 96/97 etc - conversely it could be argued MK/Todd Edwards/MAW/M&S/MoodIISwing et al were already doing this with cut up vocal/dubs etc.
Not sure what other people think but for me; a lot of what is popular and deemed 'Deep House' at the moment tends to be erring more on the bass/sub bass driven House, hence my suggestion to look at the UK Garage side of things.
I think it's difficult to break down the 90's decade (let alone 25 years of House Music); the Dance Music scene, for want of a better phrase, changed so much in that time and a huge amount of high quality tracks were released, it's hard to make recommendations. Traxsource is definately the first port of call I would say.
