    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.

    My sort of era that

    For recent tracks check out:

    Simma Black Records
    Nu Panda Records
    Black Butter Records
    Large Music
    Local Talk Records
    Seven Music
    !Records - although check their back catalogue too, a legendary label
    Freerange
    Bobbin' Head Music
    Dftd
    Defected
    Lost My Dog
    Bump Trax
    Freeze Dried Records
    Adaptation Music
    Beatdown

    there are so many labels putting out good stuff, but that should get you started. Traxsource.com is your friend

    Now on to the original sound, blimey, where to start! It's definitely worth checking out some of the UK Garage labels from 97-99. Check out these labels/artists:

    Strictly Rhythm
    Ice Cream Records
    Swing City
    Wyze
    Grant Nelson
    Todd Edwards
    Masters At Work
    MK
    Pure Silk Records
    51st State Records
    Locked On Records
    Public Demand
    Azuli Records
    NuJak Records
    Salted Music
    Nervous Records
    Soulfuric Records
    King Street Music
    Nice N Ripe
    Defected
    Yoshitoshi
    NRK

    There's loads pretty much, I'll have delve through the vinyl later and pick out a few gems.

    Cheers

    With early uk stuff I'd go even earlier, around 94 thats when 24 hour experience were smashing it on Nice n Ripe. Towards the 97-99 mark is when it started getting a bit harder, 94-96 were good years.

    True, good point, can't argue with that, 94-96 were some of my favourite times Although 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.
