Today's mix:
Classics by Judge Jules 1997 House / Garage House / Diva House / Acid House
Obviously you couldn't possibly fit a proper history of house music from the mid-80s to mid-90s onto just two discs, but if you want a good lesson in some of this glorious stuff that makes sure to not lean too commercial, one of the UK's most beloved authorities on the genre, the one and only Judge Jules, has a robust set of tunes here that's sure to please, entertain, and educate. Interestingly enough, while Chicago is the root of where house music first started, a lot of the most popular UK DJs, including Jules himself, actually saw the vision for what they could do with this music thanks to visits to Larry Levan's famed Paradise Garage in New York instead. And it's Larry's own garage sound that he helped to nourish and inculcate—smoother house music that was more rooted in R&B, soul, and gospel, and often with a female lead vocal too—that Jules helped to familiarize the UK with as well.
Often, you'll hear about the country's fixation with acid house—named so because of its frequent use of the squelchy sound one can create with the Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer as well as the youth's dalliances with psychedelics such as LSD while dancing to it—but while house music may have offshot into even harder and ravier directions afterwards, it also found its less intense, less druggy, and more mass-appealing sound in the garage stuff too, which also tended to cater towards a queerer audience. And that's the brunt of what Jules serves up here on this terrific mixed slate of Classics.
So while disc 1 bookends itself with A Guy Called Gerald's "Voodoo Ray"—the first ever UK-made acid house record, which is timelessly brilliant—and beloved alternative band The Stone Roses' "Fool's Gold," which shows the far reaches of where acid house had managed to wind its way into, most of the rest of this program is just high-quality, happy, fluffy, soulful house stuff. Best known are Marc Kinchen's iconic remix of Nightcrawlers' "Push the Feeling On" and the piano-rich "Choice Mix" of Ce Ce Peniston's "Finally," but those are essentially the surface-level exceptions to the rule. Jules' selections here appear to come from a place of authenticity—his own experience with garage in the UK and how he himself was able to shape its acceptance with his own sets. Some of these tunes may have ascended to a significant level of commerciality at some point too, but on their way up there, they also formed part of the fabric of this side of house culture in the UK, and Jules was there to guide it, before progressive house and trance rose to dance music's forefront.

Power of Love by Deee-Lite Elektra 1990 House / Dance-Pop / Deep House / Pop / Diva House / Garage House / Italo House / Funky House / Psychedelic Soul
When a listing says “As you enter the newly painted home you'll be greeted by red carpet side walk to start the diva experience,” I knew I’d be obsessed with this house.
The home, built in 1992, is in Indio, California and priced at $1.199M.
When they said it’s a diva home, they weren’t kidding.
It’s a large open concept house, so the main floor is one big room- the living room & the dining room.
They said it was freshly painted, so did they just do these murals? There’s an everyday place to eat beside the living room and kitchen.
This is quite the colorful kitchen.
Notice how they painted the bottom moldings gold and the top black.
I don’t think I’d want Cher over my bed though, I never cared much for her music.
Not sure who this even is.
They labeled this one.
Not sure I like the gold paint.
Not sure who this is, either. Maybe the muralist isn’t that great.
Out back is a big covered porch and a pool. Like the yellow umbrellas.
