![H2SO4 "MELTY & GROOVY" [acid house & disco mix]](/img/n.gif)
Just celebrated my wifes 60th. We put this through the speakers last night. Our legs our wrecked. Great night. Our daughter played a funk, disco, house set as well. Reminiscing on the night. Thanks mate.
This music led the way for modern dance music... I was there in 88 89 waiting at the phone box for the location of the next rave.. shocking statistic crime dropped by 60% because people worked mon to Fri and raved all weekend...there was never any trouble no alcohol no violence £5 for a bottle of Evian.... wish I had a time machine (thought I was on one after a tab or 2) what an era
Join the club my friend we were running some of the phone lines 😂😂😂😂 as worked with some of the biggest promoters in them days before we started and you know what's mad im still very good friends with Wayne Genesis and Jarvis Biology was actually out with Jarvis the other week at Masquerade at Tobbaco dock old soldiers still living the life 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳great mix by the way 🙌
The Best era
I remember leaving a friend's bachelor party at a university bar one night and going directly to the location i knew was throwing a rave. Walking in and hearing acid house, smelling cloves, and patchouli incense was one of the most comforting feelings i had experienced in my 21 years. This had to have been around 1995. Chicago. What a time to be alive
I never get tired of acid house. This music makes me want to have a rave in my bedroom.
Go 'ead & get that rave on 🙂🕉
I got a newer acid track on my page to add to your collection 🎉😅🥳
Respect...Great tunes & Great mix :-).
God bless oldskool 89 💯😎✌🏼
This guy knows exactly what he is doing, it's a pleasure to watch and listen
God THIS takes me back to the house parties two 1200s a newmark mixer and an amp and two big speakers !!! Acid /house music will NEVER die they still spin house music on Friday and Saturday night here in the chi WHY?? because us house heads will never get enough of it and remember house ain't giving up house ain't going to stop we will keep reaching for reaching for the top!!

Amazing LL track. B side of the French Kiss 12". Wargames on that vinyl is also great.

My Music in the 80's👍

Epic year!
15:24 BAM BAM where is your child is a awesome track
Awesome job!
Great tunes.
I thought this was gonna be a documentary. I enjoyed it though. I even had my lil bounce going like back when I use to spin.
Modell Traumwelt/Essen, irgendein Samstag, 1988.....
Phuture Acid Tracks has always been one of my favourites. Sleazy D just used to frighten me haha
*edit* Just finished that mix, that was awesome, many thanks for doing that.
That copy is beaten up to death and yet playable. I think because even the needle is scared of that track. Thanks for listening!
Thank you for the mix
Thanks for listening!
Thanks very much Basement Tracks for putting this mix together. I thought I knew a fair bit about some of the earliest Chi Town records but in all these days (since clubbing from 1985 in the UK) I never heard of the first track Knight Action before. It blew my mind to hear a (new for me) very early track as good as that. Like finding out what preceded the big bang or who shot JFK. :-) An excellent track with an element of acid 303 bassline interspersed in a house track rather than a pure acid tune. (The bassline seems to be the same as Living in A Land so maybe it was one of the default ones that came pre-programmed with the 303 machines. Rickster Night Moves is one of my very fave earlier house tracks but not sure if it was made using a 303. You seem to know your stuff so I guess it was. The Cool J Trax is also not very 303 but your mix version seemed to contain a short squelch segment. So many of these early acid tracks I think were spoiled by adding (too many) vocals. I've Lost Control, Where's Your Child, This Is Acid, Rebels (less so perhaps) would have stood the test of time better if they'd been more instrumental in my humble opinion. What an impressive collection you must have, no wonder you don't show your face or home in the vid so no one steals it. :-) Thanks for the education lesson with R-Trax D-Rail's Knight Action. All the best, Dominic
Thanks for listening :- )
Some tracks are less acid, yes. At some point I should create a follow-up to this one with pure acid tracks.
THANK YOU 😊 SUCH MEMORIES YESSSSSSSZ
You missed one big tune
Denise Motto - XTC
I was mixing at Medusa in that time. Some of this came in for me to understand and mix. The most far out stuff (sh#t) ! Some of the b-sides were much more fun to play with. I miss the old games and days 😢
There are some great jams there. Thank you for this journey.
Thanks! Yeah, some sick Acid classics A few tough ones to get.
“Jams” or “gems”? 😎
@@heindaddel2531 Both!
@@BasementTracks first one
not acid
@@robinsss Yeah, it's one of those things debated on the interwebs. I would tend to agree with you, since this one is from 85 and technically speaking Acid Trax (tape from 85, released on vinyl in 87) was the first one. I did include it, however, for three reasons. It does use the Roland TB303 and as such it definitely qualifies as proto acid at least, it is considered Acid House on the discogs firums and tagged as such, and finally because I think Duane Thamm is an unsung hero of the house scene. We always hear about Jesse Saunders, DJ Pierre or Marshall Jefferson, but people like Duane Thamm, Marcus Mixx and James Jackrabbit were true pioneers and don't get that much credit. Thanks for listenting!
Banging! What was the bass frequency modulator they used to get the ‘acid ‘ signature sound? A ds3?
It was done by altering the filter resonance and cutoff frequency on the Roland TB-303.
tremendous mix, thank you and respect
Anyone remember an Acid house song from this Era named "Freedom"? I think it something like "Freedom...that's what's life's about".
Dope mix! Nice
Superb mix!
Wicked mix.
👌👌👌
Nice
class mix!
If you know what Windows, jokers, batmans, purple ohms, were. Hiya
Purple ohm's yeah that was nice acid 90,91🕉️
Hiya!! 🕉's and 🍓's were just the best in the very early '90s, had many good times with good acid and good people. Although my first experience of tripping was around 1000 liberty caps and half a carrier bag of amanita muscaria between 4 of us, I was a novice but my three friends were a lot more experienced. I remember them debating the difference between the libs and the flys when we were coming down, a proper serious discussion and I was like 'what the fuck just happened? When we doing that again?' 🤣🤣🤣 Loved it 🍄🤯😜
@@divinewind6767 never ever took acid, but man, how i loved to dance to this music those days...it was so good i didn't have to take pills ;)
Purple ohms😵💫
kudos for Knight Action, Bam Bam and Phortune
Yesssssssss..
Great tunes! I can I borrow your records so that I can burn them onto my Serato!? Lol
I was about dance clubs from 87/88 - 94 and I dont recall many of these tracks being played maybe a couple not sure about the rest .maybe do a mix from say 88 - 91 that should be cool plenty of Chicago/Detroit hip house acid to go at from that era
