The Art of Acid Mixed By Justin Robertson

The stabbing bass & piano grooves and firing snare rolls of Derrick May's Mayday mix of Neil Howard's It's Now Or Never, is followed by an appearance from House music's original wunderkind, Marshall Jefferson, with On The House's Ride The Rhythm which slips effortlessly into Rhythim Is Rhythim's The Dance which originally appeared as a B side to Nude Photo. Hot Mix 5's Mickey Oliver weighs in with In-Ten-Si-T and Canadian purveyors of Hi-NRG, Lime's The Grid pave the way for early British pioneers Unique 3, with their ubiquitous bleep masterpiece The Theme which was recently voted the number 1 track ever played at the Hacienda and Renegade Soundwave, with the oft-imitated bassline classic The Phantom. Derrick May makes more welcome appearances retooling Dee Lite's Wild Times and his own collaboration with Darryl Winn, R Tyme's R Theme with deft touches of early Detroit Techno. Justin then unleashes another 303 tour de force with one third of Phuture, DJ Pierre's Got The Bug under his Pierre's Pfantasy Club guise and the flip to Frankie Knuckles' Your Love, the deep and sexual Baby Wants To Ride. Laurent X's pulsing Machines and Virgo's fresh and futuristic In A Vision lead into the final track Larry Heard in his Mr. Fingers hat with the epic Can You Feel It.

Accompanying The Art Of Acid is an exclusive set of bonus edits of classic House tracks rubbed down by a veritable who's who of dance music new and old, including Boys Noize, Plump DJs, Greg Wilson, 808 State, Laurent Garnier and Justin Robertson himself. Collecting together the cream of early Acid House tracks that were central to the formation of Dance Culture as we know it today, The Art Of Acid, is a blistering tribute to the last great cultural revolution of the 20th century.page << 1 2 >>
