Best of House, Vol. 4 (CD - 2004)

With its annual Best of House series, the Robbins label consistently puts together a batch of marginal (at best), semi-timely singles from the progressive house world. Labeling the majority of these tracks "the best of house" is a very dicey move; if this is the best of house, then house might as well be considered dead. Despite this, some of the tracks in the series have had moderate success on the dancefloors of trendy (albeit out-of-it) clubs. The fourth volume, released in 2004, includes Junior Jack's "Da Hype," Narcotic Thrust's "I Like It," Reina's "If I Close My Eyes," Danzel's "Pump It Up," Dave Armstrong's "Make Your Move," and Amuka's "Appreciate Me." ~ Andy Kellman minimize
