Well it has been sometime since the last update due to a number reasons. You may have noticed at the end of September The Acid House was shut down for over a week by the housing authorities for accommodating artists works within The Acid House that allegedly did not have permission to be hung on the walls there. This was a real shame and a blow to all the work and effort over the years that have gone into keeping a flame alight and re-uniting the rave soldiers of yesteryear with the sounds they marched too. The allegation was completely non specific and did not identify which musically produced art was “illegal”; it was just another scatter gun approach by the authorities to close another site that shares music whether is has copyright or not. Yes the music industry needs to protect itself, but why attack a site that is helping the scene by keeping it alive and therefore keeping an interest in “old Skool” music that will inevitably lead to the industry issuing releases of commercial dance anthems and yet another 100% Old Skool compilation that can be released. If information centres like The Acid House did not exist, then older music would fall into the distant memory of misspent youth. The music found shared here are mainly from white labels, or small defunct independent labels and is as far away from the profit making main stream commercial music as it can get. The industry is does not discriminate, they try and roll the bull dozer through The Acid House, but the foundations are good and The House stands for another day. However cracks in the walls are apparent, and the repairs are becoming more and more difficult to deal with. Let the music be the light that will lead the way and repair the soul.
