There were plenty of good house records in the charts in 1988 and it's been quite difficult to pick one, but have gone with "Let's Get Brutal" by Nitro Deluxe.
There are certain house records from this era that always get into Top 10 dance anthems type countdowns and on many compilations and as good as they are, I find myself getting quite sick of them after a while. Although anyone who knows a thing or two about the history of house music should know this, it isn't quite one of these anthems you'll hear a million times.
It was actually from 1986 and was released in the UK in 1987 as "This Brutal House" but didn't make the Top 40, but then a remixed version made the charts in 1988.
This was the only Top 40 hit for Nitro Deluxe who's real name was Young Manny Skretching Jr. He went blind and had kidney failure later on in life and sadly passed away in 2012.
