Dilated Choonz: houseDilated Choonz is brought to you by the Dilate and P*Soul crews - an international collective of music-lovers and friends who (in one form or another) have been putting on parties since 1998. Expect to enjoy many different styles of all good music.The Bassmint System- May 27, 2008 D. Ramirez &38; Mark Knight &8211; System (Bassmint Mix) Bassmint are two up-and-coming Brooklyn DJs who got in touch with us recently and sent a few great remixes they have done. This is one of my favourites &8211; chunky house beats, big bass and a good dose of swooping synth sounds make for toe-tapping, booty-shaking stuff. It is worth heading over to their MySpace page for more of their remixes &8211; I can particularly recommend their remix of Claude Von Stroke&8217;s The Whistler for.http://dilate.choonz.com/index.php?id=1645 Pierre 1: The Original Acid Track- May 13, 2008 Phuture &8211; Acid Tracks Continuing the more-spurious-by- the-day Acid House tribute to Albert Hofmann (RIP), here&8217;s another trio of acid house tunes, this time all featuring DJ Pierre &8211; one of the originators of the genre, and master of the archetypal &8220;Just a 303 and a drum machine&8221; style of Acid House. This track is a must for any kind of acid house run-down. It is widely regarded as being the first ever Acid House track, put together in 1985 and played out (four...http://dilate.choonz.com/index.php?id=1621 "Lucky" Pierre 2: Pierre & Spanky- May 13, 2008 Luminous Lollipop &8211; Acid Pop &8220;Lucky&8221; due only to being the filling in today&8217;s Acid sandwich, here&8217;s more quality just-a-303-and-a-drum- machine action from Pierre and Spanky, who (as far as I can tell) make up Luminous Lollipop. This comes from Acid Trax Volume 3, a 1988 acid house compilation.http://dilate.choonz.com/index.php?id=1633 Pierre 3: More Straight-up Acid House- May 13, 2008 DJ Pierre &8211; Box Energy This third track is Pierre on his own, a classic that appears on many acid compilation LPs. I know Tommy Squeaker was a big fan of this one back in the day, in large part due to the &8220;sffss ssffffssffs&8221; sound in the intro, as well as the incredible acid squidge line that comes in later on.http://dilate.choonz.com/index.php?id=1632 Short But Sweet- May 10, 2008 Omar-S &8211; Day A little something from Detroit&8217;s Omar-S to put a spring in all our steps for the day. Omar-S has a great website where he sells his own records very cheap. You have to email your order. I think we should all get in touch and support the man.

Are you ready, Are you ready A trio of acid tracks here for you, to help kick off the weekend in fine style. Dip 1 is a classic from 1987: Acid Over, apparently so titled because by 1987 Tyree was already &8220;tired of acid music in Chicago&8221;, where Ron Hardy had been playing Phuture&8217;s Acid Tracks (amongst other things!) since 1985. Many thanks to cubikmusik for sending us a pure acid version of this track earlier in the week,..http://dilate.choonz.com/index.php?id=1629 Acid Reign- May 6, 2008 Joe Smooth &8211; Reign In digging round for acid tracks recently I&8217;ve come across some pretty dark and scary tunes, but given the sunshine today they just don&8217;t feel quite right. So instead I&8217;ve picked another track from Jackmaster Phuture Tracks &8211; a happy little house number with some Adamski-style pianos, flutey bits and a fantastic squidgy acid bassline; all together more in keeping with the summery weather. Blotter Art UK :: Because "Theres nothing better than..http://dilate.choonz.com/index.php?id=1626 The Return of "Fast" Eddie Smith- May 2, 2008 Fast Eddie &8211; I Can Dance Following on from Fast Eddie&8217;s Acid Thunder, let&8217;s hear a little more from the man Eddie Smith. This track comes from a fantastic 1989 acid house compilation Jackmaster Phuture Tracks. I love how Eddie uses the element of surprise in this track: it starts off all Chicago-housey with its uplifting synthesised string stabs and chirpy handclaps and then, just as you&8217;re really starting to feel the mood&8230; in drops a huge, filthy-dirty acid...http://dilate.choonz.com/index.php?id=1622 |
