ACID HOUSE A Chicago derivative built around the Roland TBR303 bassline machine. Hard, uncompromising, tweaking samples produce a hypnotic effect. 1985 Phuture's "Phuture Trax" is the pioneering song and Roland's TBR303 the machine behind the sound. Sleazy D ("I've Lost Control"), Adonis, DJ Pierre and BamBam define the acid sound in Chicago. * Acid house goes across the pond, to be transformed forever. [see New Beat; Techno; Rave-Hardcore] 1987 Maurice's "This Is Acid" is released to become the major "crossover" acid house hit in North America. |
