In the 1990s house music spread everywhere. New York and New Jersey gave it Masters at Work, Todd Terry and Kerri Chandler; Chicago gave it DJ Sneak’s filter house; Paris answered with Daft Punk.
Remixes became hits in their own right: Todd Terry’s “Missing”, Armand Van Helden’s “Professional Widow”, MK’s “Push the Feeling On”.
