House Selection One: Electro House That Still Kicks (2012, Italy)
Alright, let’s talk about House Selection One—a gem from 2012 that feels like a late-night drive through neon-lit streets in some Italian city you’ve never heard of. Compiled and mixed by Enzo Saccone under the Sinfonylife Records banner, this album is pure electro house energy, with tracks that slap harder than your morning espresso. It’s not perfect, but it doesn’t need to be—it’s got soul, grit, and enough beats to keep you moving.
First off, shoutout to "The Rain Day (Roby X Mix)" for setting the tone right outta the gate. This track hits you with those rain-soaked synths, like you’re standing under an awning while life buzzes around you. The drop? Oh man, it sneaks up on you like a cat in the dark, then BAM—your feet are tapping before you even realize what’s happening. There’s something hypnotic about how the melody loops without ever getting old. If I close my eyes, I can almost smell the wet pavement. Weird flex, but here we are.
Then there’s "Good Sex & Beat (The Houzelab Vs Dynatronic Mix)", which might just have one of the most hilariously straightforward titles ever. But don’t let that fool ya—it’s fire. The bassline grooves so hard it could make a statue shake its hips. And those chopped-up vocals? They’re cheeky little earworms that stick with you long after the song ends. It’s the kind of track that makes you wanna grab someone random at a party and scream, “THIS IS MY JAM!” Trust me, it works every time.
The rest of the album keeps the vibe alive too—tracks like "Break The Chains (Raf Marchesini Remix)" bring that rebellious edge, while "Love The Violin (Extended Mix)" adds a surprising touch of elegance amidst all the chaos. Even when things get a bit repetitive (because, hey, electro house), Enzo Saccone’s mixing skills tie everything together seamlessly. You can tell he knows his stuff; this isn’t just a playlist thrown together—it’s curated, crafted, and damn proud of it.
Looking back, House Selection One feels like a snapshot of a moment in time when electro house ruled dance floors worldwide. Listening to it now, it’s kinda wild how much nostalgia it brings—not just for the music itself, but for the era it represents. Back then, everything felt bigger, louder, and more alive. Or maybe that’s just me romanticizing the past. Either way, this album still slaps.
Final thought? If aliens ever invade Earth and ask us to explain human emotions through music, I’d hand them this album. Not because it’s perfect, but because it’s raw, real, and unapologetically fun. Plus, who wouldn’t want extraterrestrials vibing to “Good Sex & Beat”? Now that would be intergalactic diplomacy done right.
