“House is a feeling,” goes one of dance music’s principal mantras. In fact, it’s all the feelings; house music’s four-to-the-floor thump makes room for bliss, sorrow, lust, melancholy—you name it. But no emotion is more synonymous with the time-tested genre than joy. Euphoria is coded into the DNA of house music’s most timeless songs; you can hear it in cascading piano riffs, celebratory vocal runs, and heart-racing drum programming. And decades since house first took root in underground clubs in Chicago and New York, that same elation fuels floor-filling anthems around the globe. Old and new, these ecstatic tunes are the tracks propelling open-air festivals and intimate backrooms alike. This playlist is updated regularly, so if you hear a track you like, add it to your library.
