Here it is folks, live recording from last weekend’s potted history of Acid House, featuring some (but by no means all !) of the things which had a big influence on me and were my early road map to House music . Whether pumping out of those 23rd hand tapes from Chicago clubs, or my strobelit, Acid fuelled nights at various dingy warehouses & Occasions in Sheffield, or Graeme Park’s impeccable selections at Steamer, Kool Kat and The Hacienda.
Trainspotters will no doubt note some glaring omissions, and a couple of more modern things thrown in (albeit heavily sampling or influenced by this era) . Plus there were alot of weird European electronic records which I later found out made up the component parts of much of what I liked in early House, but time was an issue and it wasn’t a sit down history lesson !
Might well do a ‘Chapter Two’ at some point, for all the ones I missed !
