Washing Machine
1987 · Trax
Ranked No. 2 in 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
1987 · Trax
Ranked No. 3 in 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
1987 · Trax
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — 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.
Acid Trax
1987 · Trax
Picked by The Waxonia 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.
