I’ve been trying to discover new music lately, so I started searching for what the best house music playlists are. Most of the results were simply links to house music playlists so I decided to do more research and write about it for you.
The best house music playlist on Spotify is the official Housewerk playlist created by Spotify. This playlist has over 1.4 million listeners, is officially made by Spotify’s editors and algorithm, and Spotify’s AI actually auto-mixes the tracks between each other similar to how a real DJ does.
But here is a big catch here…
Although Housewerk is one of the best house music playlists you can find in terms of popularity and the expertise in which it is created, it may not be exactly what you are looking for.
Are you in search of more underground styles of house music like Deep House, Lofi House or Classic House? Or perhaps, you are in search of a different mood of house music like the more laidback Chill House or the more upbeat Jackin’ or Tech House?
If you are looking for not just the best house music playlist, but the best house music playlist for you then read on my friend!

Best Underground House Music Playlists
Ah, the sweet, sweet underground. In my humble opinion, this is where you are going to find the best house music playlists. These forms of underground house music are less poppy and less about the stereo typical “boots and cats” basicness of house music.
There is a lot more substance here and I think you will really enjoy these underground house music playlists quite a lot.
One thing to remember: this music is a lot more rare and is made by smaller, more independent playlist curators. Because of this, most of these are generally updated less frequently.
