This is Acid! A history of 80's Chicago Acid House 

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

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.

I never get tired of acid house. This music makes me want to have a rave in my bedroom.

Let's not Forget Spanky ,a truly Cool Brother founding Member of Phuture !Man I miss that Brother....

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!!

fist acid party I went to ('89) the DJ was playing the "Jaws" theme and people were going mental

Much respect to acid traxx* I'm still playing them, enjoying till I die- #acid4Life

Great times and great music, in the hacienda, stuffed olives and the kitchen Manchester. Mayday, phuture, bambam yessss👍🏾🙏🏾

This guy knows exactly what he is doing, it's a pleasure to watch and listen

Oh for such a club now for this 50 something man! Christ I was 20 when this was around!

ACID HOUSE FOREVER 🙂🇧🇷

Hallo Bro).🤜🤛😁🍀❤️Peace.

Great stuff. Impossible to just sit and enjoy. Caught myself dancing Love the shape of the arm also. Similar to my 1975 Sony ps2350.

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!!!

It's beyond my comprehension how you're able to stand so peacefully still with all these HOT acid party tracks :O

Nice Smoove transitions old school style man. Playing the mix.

Acid house is the best house music of ever

This makes me happy

Trip down memory lane literally..Thanks for that special session!

Finally a video with REAL acid! Thank you.

BAM BAM WAS BEAUTIFULLY DEVIOUS

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

timeless music!

So many questions have been raised about this new dance craze called acid

Got goose bumps , the good times ❤️

Good lord, some of those cuts, i can SEE the cue burns

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.

Yeah, spot on man 👍

I Guess my Acid house collection from back in the day maybe worth a few £ by now, 🥰🥰🥰

15:24 BAM BAM where is your child is a awesome track

Wicked mix.

No other era like that one! Thanks for the video this shit took me back..

Quality tracks

My Music in the 80's👍

Banging! What was the bass frequency modulator they used to get the ‘acid ‘ signature sound? A ds3?

Modell Traumwelt/Essen, irgendein Samstag, 1988.....

Good job here.

Nice

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.

Yesssssssss..

👌👌👌

kudos for Knight Action, Bam Bam and Phortune

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.

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

If you know what Windows, jokers, batmans, purple ohms, were. Hiya

Great tunes! I can I borrow your records so that I can burn them onto my Serato!? Lol

Jodyolridge the house head from the factory 😅❤

Awesome job!

Я не знаю, вы понимаете, Aside house - это круто.

hey i'm trying to understand the differences between house and acid house, can someone help?

🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

WHERE IS YOUR CHILD
