Kind of an offshoot of the Disco thread.
I'm interested in checking out some good House/Acid tracks but don't really know where to start. Any recommendations?

Thanks, that was a really helpful post.
Favorites were Cassius, Junior Jack, and the 2nd Justice track. The video for "Receiver" ruled too--I'm gonna have to watch that again.
I really like the 1st Daft Punk record, so it's cool that you recommended that Bangalter remix. I hadn't heard it--it sounds like a mix of the styles they used on Homework and Discovery. I've read that their early music was heavily influenced by Chicago House. I don't know too many Chicago House guys, but I like Lil Louis' "French Kiss," and also have heard and liked Phuture's "Acid Trax."
Do you know any other late '80s/early '90s Chicago House/Acid producers? Who are the seminal artists?
Thanks again.

Word JUKE

Don't forget ma boy Joe Smooth

Acid thunder, takin me under, it's a miracle!

Yo csmealer if you want to get the good stuff on vinyl, the Soul Jazz Acid compilations are very nice (nicer than originals)

By csmealer Sun Dec 02, 2007 1:39 am
Thanks for the help. That list will keep me busy for awhile.
I'm listening to "Can U Feel It" right now--it's great. I'll have to check those Can You Jack comps out pretty soon, seems like prices on the originals are pretty steep.
Thanks again.

There are loads of vinyl chicago compilations (Chicago trax, Jack trax etc.) They're usually pretty cheap.

The yellow Sharevari on Cappriccio or the grey RFC? I scored on the RFC one at one of my spots, love the b side too (Skitso). I've never even seen a yellow one though, that's money.

yeah this one, if i'm not mistaken thatyellow one sounds a bit different, this was the one i was looking for , i researched this record for a while till i came upon it for 75,but with bidding and all it came out to 95-100bucks


what did you pay for it?

i'm looking for another copy aswell

By GrantB Wed Dec 05, 2007 7:17 pm
I found it diggin for 99 cents I believe. This was years ago though.

The yellow one is the OG Detroit, but only a few hundred were made (until it was booted).

The RFC is the one to have for me because the yellow one doesn't have Skitso. It's amazing to think what year this came out.
