One of house music’s most famous mutations came from Chicago’s DJ Pierre, who in 1987 under the name Phuture together with Marshall Jefferson, Spanky, and Herb Jackson, released the very first acid house track.
“We didn’t know what we were doing when we made ‘Acid Tracks’, we were just playing around with the 303 and thought ‘wonder what it would sound like if we put a beat to that acid wiggle’,” Pierre said about the track back in December 2008 (read our in-depth interview with Pierre about ‘Acid Tracks’).
As part of our Black History Month celebrations, we sat down with Pierre to find out more about those early acid house days, and decided to take a look back at some of the sub genre’s most memorable tracks.
