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

Acid House Playlist • #acid

[@coldwar1977]

DJ Pierre and Fast Eddie, those were my faves!

[@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.

Wooooooo!!!! Walls are starting to sweat 😅😅😅 can't move my body to this like I used too but my 56 year old mind and heart rate is up

[@mthomas1091]

God bless DJ Pierre 💁‍♂️

[@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]

[@klinger499]

[@gan9e]

[@Vicious-Spiral]

Yep!

[@ImSoOld2007]

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

[@chrisxrpeel2786]

This track changed the direction my life went. Very glad 🙏❤

Pure acid stomper which sounds as fresh as ever.

GOD, APHEX TWIN DID A GREAT JOB ON THIS

[@Spudcore]

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

[@s77uki]

boxenergy remix goes so fucking hard it's unbelievable

This reminds me of chewing a piece of gum.. You really get into the nom , nom , nom 😋 😅

I heard Pierre used a Behringer TD-3

[@DjordjeDPF2007]

It's actually a Roland TB-303. TD-3 is just a remaster of the TB-303

[@richdie72]

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.

[@bradkwiatek]

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

same here..... Box Energy that's for sale is not this version. Got a really crappy quality copy of this on vinyl and it just sounds terrible.

That’s because AFX is an actual producer compared to Pierre

I just heard this AFX version it sounds terrible it sounds like the music is having a seizure it sounds stupid.

[@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
