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

Great Cuts! 80s and 90s I was all about Energy 88.7 FM and CRX 88.1 FM who played All the Underground Acid Jamz!!!
Great stuff. Impossible to just sit and enjoy. Caught myself dancing Love the shape of the arm also. Similar to my 1975 Sony ps2350.
This makes me happy
Acid house is the best house music of ever
Great job! Thank you
Finally a video with REAL acid! Thank you.
Nice Smoove transitions old school style man. Playing the mix.

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

Sick mix. You can't beat a bit of acid to get the party going.
Very solid- damn!!!
Great Chicago House Tunes!! Thank you Vinyl
Love this music, believe it or not the origins of rave are from the dark streets of Blackburn. Such is life, we all love aceeeed!
Unbelievable mix goes straight to my core the absolute best .. transports me right back to the start...
Fucking amazing. London, Summer '88 for me. Thank you. :-)
"Night Moves" I listened to this track in loop! ❤❤❤
Pure Goodness
Great track selection and still provides ID. Top class G. 👏
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.

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 🍄🤯😜

Banging! What was the bass frequency modulator they used to get the ‘acid ‘ signature sound? A ds3?
@BasementTracks
9 ай бұрын
It was done by altering the filter resonance and cutoff frequency on the Roland TB-303.
Anyone remember an Acid house song from this Era named "Freedom"? I think it something like "Freedom...that's what's life's about".
There are some great jams there. Thank you for this journey.

@@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!
Wicked mix.
Nice
kudos for Knight Action, Bam Bam and Phortune
Jodyolridge the house head from the factory 😅❤
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
wicked
Great mix. Included some classics not often included in other old school acid mixes. Particularly enjoyed the transition between Rebels and Dream Girl. Was there a hidden track in the transition. I didn't recognise some of the elements.

Thanks! I don't think there is a hidden track, although I mixed two different versions of Rebels. I prefer the UK edition on FFRR, but had to also play the original, maybe that was the confusion. Thanks for listening!
