DJ Pierre - Box Energy (Original 12' Club Mix)

[@ReverendArkenstone]

Started listening to house music back in 1987 because I wanted to hear what all the fuss was about at the time, but the jury was still out. However, the moment I heard this track, I was hooked. Box Energy is the track that sealed the deal for me, and I've been a househead ever since.

[@hugoagogo436]

its the kind of music that if your on the bus listening to,then take your headphones off,you realize how dull everything is.

[@atefbenothman1737]

ur comment is so on point

[@klinger499]

u nailed it!

[@gan9e]

or even worse... you still hear the music ... even without headphones on... well I do anyway.

[@Vicious-Spiral]

Yep!

Didn't know this was so old? One of the first acid house tunes I ever heard! 🏆🏆🏆

I’ve been listening to and making acid since I was a teen and I just found out my gf has been calling acid “swamp music” since like 2009 lmao

Pure acid stomper which sounds as fresh as ever.

GOD, APHEX TWIN DID A GREAT JOB ON THIS

He certainly did. It's far superior to the 808 State remix in my opinion.

Is it any wonder why this music changed an entire generation in the UK? too bad I was only 7 years old, and 3,500 miles away.

anyone know where to find a digital download of this? Got this on an old acid trax vinyl but it's awful sound quality. All the "original" mixes of this that I can find are NOT this version.

If you can find a download of Terry Farley - Acid Rain (Definitive Original Acid And Deep House 1985-1991), it's on there. Can't seem to find it anywhere else www.discogs.com/release/4693509-Terry-Farley-Acid-Rain-Definitive-Original-Acid-And-Deep-House-1985-1991

[@d.bebfjcgfdfijhj]

What's interesting, moreover, is realizing how -- notable exceptions like Squarepusher or Aphex Twin notwithstanding -- tracks from every EDM style throughout the history of EDM contain certain concrete shared elements, such as e.g. the arrangement of snare hits in this track (currently listening, at 2:50), which are not only very distinct, but also notably absent from tracks produced in other epochs of the style. You are right, however; it sounds both spartan and pedestrian by today's standards. Nostalgia has its place, as long as it doesn't interfere with the perception of reality -- which is why I personally have had Planet Purge, part 2 (Midnight Tyrannosaurus/EH!DE) on continuous auto-loop ever since I first heard the track, myself.

[@housefood4418]

zszabo2000 What’s even more interesting is how it goes further back to artists like Kraftwerk and Raymond Scott who actually were the original and legit pioneers of electronic music.

[@Maxi3242]

I disagree, for me this is timeless music... 303 and a drum machine will always make people dance
