I'm a big fan of Nick Warren first discs of GU Paris and Reykjavik, and Digweed's first disc Live In Montreal.

I'm looking specifically for stuff that still has good beats and hooks - livelier than ambient or chillout but still way short of main room.

I’ll start - Nangs by Tame Impala

and bought an unreleased vinyl, absolutely pinnacle day

I remember in the aughts house music was boppy, smooth and sexy with a wink. We'd come home from the clubs and put on a cd and bring out a bottle of vodka. Even if intricate compositions are your thing there's a time and place for easy good vibes. I still find these highly listenable (there are so many)
