Starting a thread of random house and techno records which seem noteworthy to me.

this is lovely:
Louie Vega feat Unlimited Touch - I Hear Music In The Streets
Vega's cover / remix of an old 80s disco record. he released this in late 2020, a few months after original bassist Sandy Anderson died of covid.
Vega gathered the remaining band members who all perform on this version. a nice tribute to their departed.

another beautiful, hopeful 80s track:
Sterling Void & Paris Brightledge - It's All Right
released in 87, originally titled 'It's All Right' but later releases have it as 'It's Alright', another one produced (and co-written) by the legendary Marshall Jefferson
covered in 89 by the Pet Shop Boys

in the beginning, acid did not exist.
Phuture - Acid Tracks
imagine hearing this the first time in a dark club. when nobody had ever heard anything like it before. surely the roof would have been torn off the place.
mind. blown.
it's not a song, it's brutal, it's incredible. one of the most important records of the last 50 years.

on the flip of Acid Tracks was this:
Phuture - Phuture Jacks
much less well-known than Acid Tracks i guess. not even sure i heard it many times before. but this has more of a groove / funk than the rawness of the a-side.

also on the b-side of Acid Tracks was this:
Phuture - Your Only Friend
dark, frightening, melancholy. vocals imagine cocaine talking to the listener. "in the end, i'll be your only friend".

Maurice Joshua feat First Sundays - Fly Away (Tedd Patterson Organ Solo)
like, almost shockingly good. the funk, the organ, the hints of gospel. everything just sounds so good.
