The 15 Best House Tracks of May 2025
May 2025 sets the stage for what’s to come this exciting Summer season all across clubland. Soul Clap’s collaboration with Haven Star is an endearing story of when the weekend can get the best of us. Of course, in the package of a whimsical house tune that’ll find its way into a lounge or beach bar near you. Nic Fanciulli’s “Hold on”via Defected is another that transcends the nightclub and embodies the sound of the Summer. Alan Dixon’s “The Underground” on DFTD is one for the later nights but definitely more than just the flavor of the month as we’ve been hearing it since early this year. Clearly, it’s here to stay. Brazil’s DJ Meme has his own Summer anthem which is just as good as the rest. Scroll down and listen for yourself. It’s a vibe. Then there’s the bouncy, DJ Tennis revision of Röyksopp’s “What Else Is There?” Just, wow.
