Maybe it's just me, but when I listen to these tracks I think of ways to use some of the techniques in my own beats. Transitions, basslines, drum patterns, melodies, etc.

It's not just house remixes but it's a mix of Soul, Neo-Soul, Dance, R&B. Here's some:

Also, this video is weird. The voice sounds like one of those speech-to-text...
