Sample the godfather of Acid House!

You probably don’t remember 1987. If you do, then you might have hazy memories of wearing aviator sunglasses, big leather jackets and fingerless gloves.

But away from the mainstream the first seeds of acid house were being sowed by four house music lovers in Chicago: DJ Pierre, Marshall Jefferson, Spanky and Herb Jackson. Together, under their alias Phuture, they created the world’s first acid house record called ‘Acid Tracks’, an 11 minute 17 seconds-long house trip based around a sound that has become synonymous with electronic music ever since, the bassline of the Roland TB-303 synthesizer.

Besides being a crucial DJ and the production wizard partly responsible for the development of Chicago acid-house, DJ Pierre later influenced the sound of New York’s more disco-fied house with his tenure as an in-house producer for Strictly Rhythm Records.

Now Loopmasters have teamed up with the godfather of Acid House himself to bring you a collection of inspiring sounds and samples from the very machines that created the genre which brought the UK and USA closer together through a love of Acid House music.

In this collection which sees DJ Pierre return to his creative roots you can expect to fine over 380MB of exciting content, including 330 Samples, 300 loops and 30 ready to play patches for Reason NNXT, Halion, Kontakt, EXS and SFZ samplers.

DJ Pierre has recorded over 70 Drumloops (expect 808/909 and classic Beatbox samples), 46 Bass Loops (suitable for Electro and Tech House), 46 Classic Acid House Basslines (The signature licks), 16 Grooves, 31 Keyboard Loops, 23 String Parts, 24 Synth Loops, 15 Pad FX and 52 Single Sounds.

This exclusive collection of samples cover the genres of House, Disco, Acid House, Tech and could even be worked into some progressive Techno.

First Release on Soso Deep label.

The dawn of the first Soso Deep release is soon upon us Phonograph’d Pheelings, Randy and I and the rest of the crew @ Soso Deep hope for a nice and smooth transition into the world of independent music making. This Ep consist of 3 songs or should i say 3 heaters… we hope you will enjoy, here’s the rundown….

- hypnotic
is a song that will hypnotize you to the fullest extent. With a very deep and afro minimal vibe, the synths meld with tribal percussion as the pulsating bass line compliments the bulgarian vocals all together in a beautifully composed track sure to set the dance floor afire…..

- Roads Traveled (isolatoraffairmix)
is a song that needs no introduction as a masssive synth solo takes you on a journey thru percussion rhythms and a tribal drum groove, reminiscent of a time wen improvisation was the standard. a sure fire song you can Twist those eq knobs too… (isolators watch out)…

and finally

- My Soul Will
Boast mad deep vibrations. This song will be the missing link for the three, the completion of the tri-force. Vocals from head honcho of Soso Deep Stephen Rigmaiden complete this tracks as the baritone pitch of chants statingmy soul will move you add the perfect amount of mystery and groove. With a crescendo of synths, perc fills, and strings we reach the climax….. ahhhhhhh was that deep enough for you ?

- Max pela (afrobeta bodega/ uhuru afrika)

the man needs no introduction. stephen rigmaiden hooks us again w/ the phonograh’d pheelings ep on his so so deep imprint..My Soul will is a well balanced gem featuring a chunky bassline alongside african percussive elements, moody chords, and catchy key work. definitely put ur sneakers on for this one. Dancefloors about to ignite. 10/10. Congrats – Soulscience (Open Canvas / Deeper Shades Recordings)

more musical madness from the mind of Mr. Rigmaiden. I’m feeling it and can’t wait to play it out LOUD!-Jose Marquez (Inspiration LA)

i love hypnotic, i will play , – Edground (BSC/ Grooveland)



Phonograph’d Pheelings is Soso appealing! Soso Deep gives bright life to 3 very deep tacks. My personal favorite is Hypnotic – a hard polyrhythmic beat iced over with a soft and meditative like vox. The combination of the two gives me lots to play with in the dance cypher.
– Co FLO (FLO-ology / Soulshifters/ HDI Finalist 2009)

Stephen Rigmaiden is one of the producers to look out for in 2010 this ep will be graced by myself and im sure many others the Deepnes at its purist. – Halo (City Deep Music)

diggin the vibes..very much has the south african vibe but of course your own sound as well..lovely soul! – Osunlade (Yoruba Records)
