It's all gone four to the floor as Pete celebrates the early, formative days of house.

House music is one of dance music's oldest genres and is still a mainstay today. In the first of two episodes on the genre, Pete Tong shares some of the biggest and best formative house tunes and celebrates some essential figures.

The Blessed Madonna provides her House Music Starter Pack and the legendary Marshall Jefferson chooses three tracks to put in the house music history books.

Plus, Pete delves into the Radio 1 Dance archive to rewind a slice of a classic Essential Mix from the Godfather of House, Frankie Knuckles - recorded at Pacha Ibiza in 2000.
