What is House?

Send us Fan MailEvery song you've ever screamed along to, dragged into the club and given a second life.This hour of Velvet Nation is Boy Joey doing what he does best: taking the records already living rent-free in your head and rebuilding them for the floor. It opens with his own remix of "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us" — because of course it does — then drops straight into the deep end with Rihanna, Kim English by way of John Summit, and Celeda asking the only question that's ever mattered on a dancefloor: what is house?From there it gets darker. Depeche Mode, Blue Monday, Gypsy Woman, Ronnie Spiteri's "Papi," Eli Brown — the stretch where the lights go low and nobody's checking their phone. Then Danny Tenaglia's Planet Tweak Mix of Circuit Boy's "The Door" cracks the whole thing wide open, Ultra Naté reminds you you're free to do what you want to do, and Queen, Faith Hill's Hex Hector club mix, and Michael Jackson take it home.And then, right when you're gassed, "The Boys of Summer." The lights come up. You feel something. That's the point.Sixteen tracks. Sixty minutes. Zero filler.
