The source half of the pair. Every track here is the pre-2000 record that later producers went back to — the raw material behind Remix Rave — House, Garage & Acid Reworks. Same fourteen numbers, so original #8 (Robert Miles' Children, 1996) is the seed of that playlist's reworks labelled #8 (Tinlicker, Undercatt and Joe T. Vannelli).
Played in order it's a fast tour of dance music's spine, 1983 → 1999: New Order and Rufus & Chaka Khan open the set; Detroit and Belgium arrive in 1990 (808 State, Age Of Love); the vocal-house and Eurodance years fill the middle (Cajmere & Dajae, N-Trance, Livin' Joy, Gala); and it closes on the class of '99 — Fragma, Alice Deejay, Fatboy Slim — the newest sources the reworks reach back to.
Method. Each row links the Discogs master release (click "See all versions" there for any pressing), with the Artist and Track copied exactly as credited. The YouTube link is drawn from each release page's own community-attached videos where possible, and every video id was confirmed live before shipping. The Notes name the modern reworks and link straight to their rows in the sibling playlist.

- Numbers are shared across the two playlists: each original #N is reworked by the entries labelled #N in the sibling list. This list is sorted by the original's year; the reworks list is sorted by its own release dates (2017 → 2026), so the two won't scroll in lockstep — follow the number.
- Toca Me (#12) is the 1999 instrumental whose riff, joined to Coco's "I Need A Miracle" (1997), became Fragma's Toca's Miracle — the thing the modern reworks actually lean on.
- Where a track's most famous dancefloor form is a 1990s remix rather than the first pressing, that's the cut featured (still pre-2000, still the version the rework leans on); the master link exposes every other version.
