The 15 Best House Tracks of October 2024

Four of the fifteen tracks from the stacked fifth edition of Fabric Selects figure prominently here but the absolute star of the show is Joeski’s newest on Crosstown Rebels, which features Troy Dillard on vocals. Not only is it the best of the month, it might just be the track of the year. The impassioned vocals bring back memories of the golden years of house music. On Friday, Pete Tong said that it reminded him of the late ’80s. Perhaps, Joe Smooth’s “Promised Land” is what he had in mind.

1. “MUSIC IS MY HOME” – JOESKI FT TROY DILLARD [CROSSTOWN REBELS]

“This is a continuation of my collaboration with Troy Dillard from over 20 years ago when we worked on ‘Hold on to Your Love’, which went on to become my biggest record. Reuniting with Troy and working on this project has been special.” – Joeski.

2. “LAST E” – ENZO SIRAGUSA [FABRIC RECORDS]

Enzo Siragusa‘s contribution to the fifth edition of Fabric Selects is nothing short of outstanding. From the wall of sound euphoria to the old school breaks, this one belongs alongside some of the top tier trance from the very early ’90s.

3. “NOBODY KNOWS” – SOUND SUPPORT [TOY TONICS]

Sound Support’s “Nobody Knows” finds itself among greatness with “Strung Out” and “That Song.” Two previously released tunes on the Everybody Knows E.P. via Toy Tonics. Premium, unadulterated house music at its best.

4. “KARMA” – GUY J [NO DRAMA]

Roy Rosenfeld‘s newly minted imprint, No Drama kicks off a trio of tunes from a three-some owning the deeper, progressive side of dance music. Including, Guy J with his contribution he calls, “Karma.” A wicked, tension-builder from the Tel Aviv producer that is worthy of high recognition in late 2024.

5. “FABRICATION” – TRAUMER [FABRIC RECORDS]

Traumer’s spot on Fabric Selects is this deep and chunky business he’s likely titled as a dedication to the label.

6. “THAT RHYTHM” – CLIVE FROM ACCOUNTS [DIRT CREW RECORDINGS]

After a two-year hiatus, Clive From Accounts is back on Dirt Crew with a trio of frisky ones which remind us that house doesn’t always have to be so serious.

7. “WISH U (DEATH ON THE BALCONY REMIX)” – ILYA MORI, COTU [TIERRA SOUNDS]

Death On The Balcony’s expectedly ethereal remix of “WISH U” on Tierra Sounds is a warm blanket on a cold, Autumn evening which we’ve been seeking the comfort of all Summer long.

8. “FALLIN IN LOVE (FIERCE MIX)” – DUCK SAUCE [D4 D4NCE]

“Fallin In Love” gets revisioned this month with a touch of ’94’s “Witch Doktor” along with ’95’s “Give Me Luv.”

9. “EVERY CHAPTER” – ROBERT OWENS, CINTHIE [FABRIC RECORDS]

Cinthie‘s latest love letter to house music involves none other than Robert Owens!

10. “STAY HIGH” – NICK CURLY [8Bit]

Nick Curly‘s latest outing on his imprint, 8Bit is a double-sided weapon that features this dazzling one which goes for the jugular.

11. “SATELLITE” – NICK CURLY [8Bit]

Stay High‘s b-side is less upfront but the vibes are just as strong.

12. “HEAT UP” – TIGER STRIPES [KWENCH RECORDS]

“It was an incredible night playing soulful, deep house and to rejoin again with Kerri – we’d made a few tracks together years ago. I knew that I wanted to bring my music back to where it all started for me, back to my roots. I love what Cassy plays, the mood she creates, so it’s fantastic to be a part of Kwench Records and hear my tracks in her sets.” -Tiger Stripes
