Tyree - Acid Crash

[lrhodes936]

Damn! dancing outta my pants! lol! ahhh... the memories

[Stephen19671967]

Acid at it's finest

[gilinnc]

Damn, I remember this track back in da days @ the Red Zone w/DJ David Morales in NY.

[spinradiofm]

Yeah I remember this track. Played it over and over at Mars, The Octagon and The Palladium (RIP). Those were the days. I also remember how hip-hop DJs jumped on and didn't play it right but they had the rooms so...this still stands the test of time. Most people didn't know this was a cleaned up rip of Lil Louis more raw "Acid Crash." I didn't find out myself until about a year later (1989).

[elsunn]

@spinradiofm The Octagon, haven't heard that name in a longgggggggg time!!

[rafaelsoyyo1981]

Roooooooooots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[koolzainski]

1989-1990 THE TUNNEL - NYC - dj Roman Ricardo...

[Frizinho]

When they played this at Tracks, DC you knew the house music period of the night was starting. Everyone went apeshit, for lack of a better word!

[spinradiofm]

Wow. I remember this from my party with Roger S. (now he uses his full name). Our party was called "Ego Trip" at the Octagon in NYC. True underground. We broke so many records in NYC. I know a lot of DJs were playing them but when the guys who produced these records show up to the booth with a reel to reel of these tracks and say "play this" you KNOW you are viewed with respect. Miss those days...but we can bring these tracks back to remember "that feeling." :D

[grfranco122177]

@spinradiofm

i had tapes from those ego trip parties, i wore them out!

[taskzulu]

i love this song  !! it use to turn the house parties out!!!

[nubient]

I have this as well, but the Lil Louis version is much better

[hgvneil]

If its getting serious into a racist homophobic discussion,its makes me laugh that the modern club music we have now would not exist if it were not for black or gay people.

[FlamingFairy]

Fuck, but this is FEROCIOUS. I remember chucking myself about the dancefloor to this in Heaven with my boyfriend at the time. There were straight boys, gay boys, straight girls, gay girls, black white and every other colour, all dancing together - fab times.

[2turbo4u]

What did this DJ Desciples favorite do to you guys huh? Shout out to WNYE 91.5 f.m Broooooooklyn yuh heard! This needs Robert Owens "Far Away" mixed into it woot woot!

[tillyferrari]

Great track Rob :) 5 Stars :)

[flygirlmom]

I'm on the ground!!!!!!!

[prie71]

shiiit,this is where it starts for me,i was too young 4 the partys,but already infected..and still looking for the perfect beat...this is one of them

[multistylisticmann]

A classic House O Matic track..., we were the greatest ever..., 1986 stand up!

[MoeMoeMedia]

LET UH REAL DANCER TAKE U BACK!..SOUND FACTORY,MUSE,MARS(14thst)THE UNDERGOUND,HOUSE NATION,BENTLEYZ !HOUSE MUSIC WUZ THE SHYT B4 IT WENT GAY(VOGUE)

[Mikailnyc]

Man there was/is so much gay influence in House Music for years. From DJ's to artists.

Don't you think those queens who had the balls were doing it to house music before it became main stream????

Well they were at the paradise Garage and even before it..

FYI from another dancer who also went to most the clubs u mentioned and to a lot more even before Sound Factory. PD Garage, Choice, Loft, Nickle Bar, yadda yadda yadda.

It just got shitty when Madonna tried to tap into it.

[cavaleer]

House didn't become House until MEN got hold of garage/disco and transformed it in Chicago. They transformed the sound itself. They masculinized it. Garage was girl/gay music. It's a muscular thing bro.

If it had been gay then Garage would have transformed into House without it going to Chicago. All the elements were there...the club, the dancers, the drugs.....except the main ingredient MEN.

It was the same thing with Funk being anti-Disco.

[manclaudy]

b4 it went gay?? i thought it was black/gay gay then went black/latino str8 then turned for the worse when it went white gay/ british str8? Even my white friends agree with me...oh well homophobia will never die i guess

[cavaleer]

As far as "black", well no so-called "black" people outside of Chi-NY-NJ-DET have even heard of it. So since we know race is an invention, the better way to describe it would be urban. Latinos just happened to be around, no offense but that's the fact.

House is a strictly American phenomenon in terms of its creation. The fact that the entire world listens to it is no surprise because that's what always happens with OUR creations.

[masonts]

[As far as "black", well no so-called "black" people outside of Chi-NY-NJ-DET have even heard of it. ] Tell that to the many black people who reside in England where Chicago house music was in heavy rotation on the London club scene in the late 1980s.

[So since we know race is an invention,] I'll not get pulled into an off-topic tangent discussion on race.

[the better way to describe it would be urban.] Your opinion. I prefer the description I already gave, my opinion.

[cavaleer]

The entire world has been tuned into American music for the last 100 years. Brits in particular, have studied and striven to emulate American music more than any other group. So what is your point about some Brits continuing to do this?

Many Americans don't know who Charlie Parker or Thelonious Monk are but Euros know both of them quite well.

This fact only proves our creative wealth and it shows that foreign-thinking parasites have been in control of our musical/cultural education.

[masonts]

[So what is your point about some Brits continuing to do this?]

Reread the thread...my 'point' that black people in London have heard of Chicago house was in response to your inaccurate statement>>>>"As far as "black", well no so-called "black" people outside of Chi-NY-NJ-DET have even heard of it." It wasn't hard to follow. You even contradicted your own statement with a subsequent post>>>"The entire world has been tuned into American music for the last 100 years." Point proven...again.

[cavaleer]

I must have read another post or misread yours. Obviously Brits have heard House. And all this talk of "black" Brits is just comical. Unless they Just Got Off the Boat, they're just as corny as the rest of y'all.

[rejjiphonik]

Not Just London, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham & Bristol to name a few. Nice post BTW ;-)

[koolzainski]

@manclaudy it was always mixed actually: gays & straights, but in the mid-90's it got super gay with the shitty "super-dj's" like Junior Vasquez...

[masonts]

"B4 IT WENT GAY(VOGUE)"

House has ALWAYS had a gay/black/male influence (artists esp.). Who the hell do you think made up the dances to the music? You couldn't find a club in Chicago (including The WareHOUSE) that played house music that wasn't half-filled w/gay black men (even if most were in the closet). House was ghetto, bourgeois (bougee), gay, str8 and black. Agree w/manclaudy - it went downhill when Euros got their hands on it and made it 'mainstream'...it lost its soul.

[cavaleer]

The reason HOUSE became House was because of MEN, not gays. Respect to Larry Levan and all but House wasn't born until a bunch of MEN in Chicago started changing and transforming the music that was garage/disco into something harder, stronger and masculine...THAT THING IS HOUSE.

So while gays were always around the scene, the scene was male-female, not gay.

[masonts]

You imply that gay men aren't 'men'...no - I take that back. You clearly state that gay men aren't men. What is this 1950? And my response took into account my own relationship with the house music scene as I personally experienced it while growing up in the 1980s and 1990s in inner city Chicago. And from my own experiences, House music (and the scene) was HEAVILY influenced by gay, black MEN (yes...I use the word "men" deliberately).

[cavaleer]

I state it clearly because the forces that transformed and created House music were men. It just upsets you because I don't use these irrational words like "heterosexual".

Listen, gays were definitely a part of House. I partied with a lot of cats who were gay. But if you think for a second that being gay is something as superficial as just a "mental" choice, YOU'RE A FRIGGING FOOL.

It fundamentally warps the way you see the world, right, wrong, good, bad, and all the subtleties in between.

[masonts]

[But if you think for a second that being gay is something as superficial as just a "mental" choice, YOU'RE A FRIGGING FOOL. ] You're the fool for making such an ASSumption, as NOTHING in my response indicated my thoughts on that topic. A single internet post on the topic of house music suddenly clued you in to 'the way [I] see the world'?? Give me break. You must be quite the awful clairvoyant to be so off the mark.

[masonts]

[Listen, gays were definitely a part of House.] Thank you for your confirmation and for rendering the rest of your 'speech' useless, as this was pretty much the whole point of my , mikhailnyc's and manclaudy's posts...

[cavaleer]

And yes, Americans in the 1950s had enough sense to know the difference between irrational and reality, between nonsense and sense.

You fools think that Life works just by some fucking accidental choice. And I don't care if you're gay or call yourself heteroasexual.

You fools try to take the reality of LIFE out of the conversation, so that ANYTHING GOES AND THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANYONE.

Men and women are all the same, right? Gender is just a "social construct"

GETTHAFUKOUTTAHERE!!

[masonts]

What is this drivel you're spewing? Go spam a messageboard on opinions of gay life as your post has NOTHING to do with the topic at hand. It sounds like the rantings of a madman...

[cavaleer]

You fools don't talk about LIFE, you talk about "reproduction."

Listen, I was once as laissez-aller as anyone could be about this nonsense. Back then I fell for this talk of "choice" and "rights" and "equality". This was back when I was in undergrad partying to House music, with men, women and some gays, having a ball.

But as I matured and truly examined reality, that is Life, and listened to the logic of you fools, I realized how fundamentally WARPED your entire logic is.

Here's something..

[cavaleer]

When was the last time you heard someone use the term "heterosexual Queen Bee?" When was the last time you heard someone say a "heterosexual Bull?"

NEVER. Why?? Because the CONCEPT IS IRRATIONAL. Nonsensical. But you think you can say that about humans because you think humans exercise this myth called "free will". You also never hear it because people don't think humans are really animals.

Gay/Lesbian and whatever other nonsense people call themselves are merely SUPERFICIAL WORDS.

[masonts]

You really are a dim bulb. The term 'heterosexual' has nothing to do with my post or this discussion on house music. Schizophrenic much?

[conversenorgasm]

this is so jersey!!!!!

[MonkeyBarz179]

WOW.....I remember when this would come on in Red Zone or Sound Factory a big circle would form and each person would take turns dancing in the center........GOOD TIMES!!!!

[johnnypooh3243]

Sure you can, use the search function on Discogs..

I just checked for you, you can get this on a great compilation, 2xCD

Acid: Can You Jack? (Chicago Acid and Experimental House 1985-95)

£15-£20

Hows that?

Excellent, enjoy. :)

[dlightcrew]

Ok Thank You very Much!!

[DjDedan]

this cut took over NYC underground dance scene then it was co-opted by hip hop dj's such as clark kent and got even more exposure... shows you that music is music - to hell with the genres!

[6robski8]

Yep, originally an underground tune, probably on cassette and could have been as early as '86, played in Ron Hardy's Music Box, Chicago, which in itself was an alternative to the Frankie Knuckles disco/NYC Chicago house sound.

Whatever way you want it,and however it got to you, it's all good, we got it when it hit the clubs and parties of London in '88

Peace brother.

[elsunn]

@DjDedan Sound Factory Bar on a Wednesday night back in the days, this track got played, place went bananas!!!

[cashmoney110]

If you don't dance to this...you're dead and/or you suck...period.

[hyedrin]

This song single handedly turned me from a mild-mannered party goer to a house dancing what you-may-call-me

[nyscene1]

wow i havent heard this song in years one of the best house songs ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GrappleBanger]

Listening to SimonUK (ComeUnity) spin this classic house jam at a Full Moon Party (by Vision and Wicked Crew) at Panther Rock (north of Santa Cruz, CA) back in 1993 was almost sublime. He followed it with "Funky Guitar" and then "I Want My Planet Back". Incredible set, and I just had to find out if this Acid Crash was available here on youtube. Thanks 6robski8- you're a fricking star!

[6robski8]

Thanks man, this is what it's all about.

We got a community here based on our memories and shared belief.

The revolution continues. :)

Peace man.

[Swagrifik]

Classical Shit,loved it then love it now!

[abhcvn72]

Ahhh man. These were the good ol' days of housin' in NYC.

[elcerrado]

sounds totally future till today.

[hart70]

This used to jam at The Underground N.Y.C. And on my tables. Fantastic!

[RealFreshBlog]

Nice upload, Rob! I was gonna upload this track but you beat me to it lol. I'll probably upload a rare Tyree acid track instead.

Great, great track! This is Tyree's take on the Lil Louis track called Video Clash.Mike Dunn also did a version.

btw-this track also came out on Rockin' House Records with more mixes.

Anyway...keep up the good work m8!

[6robski8]

If I was you I would just upload your versions anyway, none of us are in a competition here and there are other channels with the same tunes as me that get a completely different set of 'users'.

I'm gonna keep posting until all my best tunes are up and then leave it as an archive.

I've never seen your channel before but now I have I'm glad I've made another friend that wants to keep old skool alive and pass on the vibe to younger generations, peace and much respect. Upload away!!

[RealFreshBlog]

Ok m8.I'll do that.Cheers.

[DutchBlondje]

You know Rob, your songs do sound way way better than mine!!! I like this tune...:)
