A real 88' classic if ever there was one. Absolutely massive back in 88' when the term 'Acid House' was not even known, heard of or common place...Real underground sound where this beauty when played was converting the die hard rare groovers, soul heads and reggae boys. Completely fresh and unheard sound like nothing before. And as for the clubs, well this ones a real strobe steppa to fall in love with when that 303 groove takes you to another place.. Nut House, Croland Rd, Echoes Nitespot in Bow, Dungeons etc  all spun this into the early hours of the morning where punters didn't want to leave just to get a rewind.... BIG TUNE!!

I first heard this in Dungeons Leytonstone east London. It knocked that E straight through the roof

This track has everything : acid riff, wobbly bass, freaky effects, pitch bend synth solo, breathy vocals, spoken word sexy bit, dreamy breakdown, whistles, cowbells I’m instantly transported to a land of ponchos, smoke machines and strobes etc etc

Love these late 80s - early house tracks, we gotta appreciate where it all came from. Never heard this before but in love, thank you!

[TheMortyvicar]

This is still a fresh track… would easily fill the dance floor. Feel so blessed to have been out dancing with this one blasting out on a proper sound system ❤

If your spine doesn't tingle when you hear this then you were not on the dancefloor in 88/89!

The main reason they stopped these amazing parties is because they didn't want different people to come together black white all nationalities coming together..since you haven't seen such a thing again ..what great days they were

Classy bit of House. I have it on the double 12" album, "North - The Sound Of The Dance Underground".

I was thinking were do I know this tune from...then it ALL came back to me...Confusion...SHAFTSBURY Av. LONDON...88...Kid Bachelor on the Decks!...Legendary...

I didn't start proper clubbing till 93' so missed a lot of the early stuff. Made up for it a couple of nights ago though at a 'back to 89' do in Coulsdon. Heard this for the first time, plus loads of classics from that time, so good to hear on a big sound system. 47 year old body aching a bit from dancing but loved every minute of it. Good to know there are more gems like this I have yet to discover.

[jayswain]

Still a really great tune now and i supppose in years to come. Minimal and so damn classy.

My new fave YouTube channel, absolutely banging. I didn’t start raving til I saw prodigy at island in Ilford in 95, so I missed all this.
Love seeing all the memories these tracks bring back, I can’t remember what I did last week, but I know where I was when I heard that track for the first time, 30 years ago 😂

Post boogie & electro, jackin sound. Peter Piper acapella used to drop in over this.

@tambian9130 "back in 88' when the term 'Acid House' was not even known, heard of or common place". In '88 the term "Acid House" was overpopularised to the extent, that UK national newspapers ran headlines with
