Various: Do You Know House? (Vol One )

By GRAHAM REID

(Herald rating: * * * )

Those who know about house music will doubtless be familiar with Dance Tracks, a famous record store in the United States which has been a clearing house and mecca for international house tracks.

This seamless, 12-track collection of original and remix tracks — by the likes of Pacha, Club Ice, Norma Jean Bell and others who are probably house-household names — is a distillation of numerous styles and influences all woven around the distinctive vibe.

Some natty touches of quasi-psychedelic house should also keep the
at-home headphone listener smirking too, although clubland is where this will be best appreciated.
