Does anybody know who some of the biggest names in house are these days? I'm starting to feel the need to diversify my CD collection. Just wanted to get some ideas about the names I should look out for. Any names would be welcomed.

You should check out Olav Basoski for instance. He hasn't released a compilation album lately, however. Check for this the latest cd from Eric E called Solos Session 1. This containes some nice underground house. Other major House DJ are Roger Sanches(!) and Harry 'Choo Choo' Romero. These last 2 are somewhat the biggest names in house lately. All American.

grtz,

if you really want to get some nice house mixed CD that been made altely go to the CD shop near you and ask for:

Motivation mixed by Frankie Knuckles [CD]
Underwater Episode 1 mixed by Darren Emerson and Tim Deluxe [2CD]
Subliminal Records : The Story So Far mixed by Richard F, Jose Nunes and Melvin Moore [3CD]
Subliminal Sessions 3 mixed By Erick Morillo [3CD]
Hooj Presents Further mixed by Red Jerry [2CD]

and if you'll wait a while theres a new 2CD mix collection by Danny Tenaglia out in Azuli Rec. this october. his all favorite classics.

Thanks guys

Try and find something by Danny Rampling too.. he rocked at Impulz Outdoor.

The Underwater compilation is great too (especially CD1, with Vitamin D - That Latin track.. great!), check it out. It's more tech-house than house, though.

Also, try and find Terry's Cafe vol. 5 (by Terry Lee Brown jr.), or Soma Anthology.. Both good mixed house CD's.

early Sasha & Digweed? I'd say their recent style is more housey than it was back in the day. But maybe I'm wrong...

In the Mix, NonStop and Total Insanity are all crazy funky house compilations. Love 'em.
