Vinylmore Rips: New Order - Acid House Mixes by 808 State (1988)

October 4th 2008, 8:29 AM | by Greg Szeto | |

This is the inaugural edition of a hopefully continuing feature, our Vinylmore Rips series which brings you random vinyl-exclusive releases as MP3s.

Set to be an irregular column, it will only appear when something on vinyl-only release has truly piqued my interest.

This week we get some elegant New Order mixes from electronic legends 808 State (Wiki).

Today’s release:
New Order - Acid House Mixes by 808 State (1988)
UK 2004 12″ Single; Rephlex: CAT 806 EP [Also as limited white-label promo 12" Single]

MP3: “Blue Monday” So Hot Mix by 808 State (07:46)

MP3: “Confusion” Acid House Mix by 808 State (04:55)

Remarks: Remixed in 1988 by Graham Massey, Gerald Simpson and Martin Price. Never really intended as a proper release. Release date: 27 September 2004

For the uninitiated “acid house” refers to a genre of house music that developed in Chicago, but spread world wide. It featured the Roland TB-303 synthesizer/sequencer, which created the “acid” sound.
