## Appears on

### [Washing Machine](https://waxonia.com/track/phuture--washing-machine/)

*1987 · Trax · No. 2 in [Acid House](https://waxonia.com/genre/acid-house/)*

The B-side to the record that named the genre, and arguably the better one. Twelve minutes of a machine being tortured, released because Ron Hardy kept playing the tape.

### [Acid Trax](https://waxonia.com/track/phuture--acid-trax/)

*1987 · Trax · No. 3 in [Chicago House](https://waxonia.com/genre/chicago-house/)*

DJ Pierre misused a Roland TB-303 and accidentally created acid house. Twelve minutes of squelching, mutating bass that spawned an entire British subculture two years later.

### [Acid Trax](https://waxonia.com/track/phuture--acid-trax/)

*1987 · Trax · Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — On a Machine](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-chicago-on-a-machine/)*

The accident that became a genre. A bass machine nobody wanted, misused by mistake and then misused on purpose, and thirty years of records came out of the difference between the two.

*1987 · Trax · Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-the-hundred/)*

A misused bass synth, released because Ron Hardy would not stop playing the tape. One record invents a genre and names it in the title.
