Closing out 2025 with a classic. Phuture’s ‘Your Only Friend’ is an early dystopian house smash. Bam Bam’s ‘Where’s Your Child’ springs to mind as cut from the same cloth. What makes this so good is its minimalism. In the end we’re left with a drum machine and some off-key mournful crying. Sorry to over-simplify but that’s about it. Oh, the vocal of course, which is perhaps one of the most memorable in the pantheon of Chicago house. Pierre’s acid trademark isn’t present. It’s just a bassline, a handclap, some wailing and some rimshots, and that’s just about all that’s necessary.
