## What we say

### No. 6 in [Acid House](https://waxonia.com/genre/acid-house/)

The moment the underground became a novelty hit and got itself banned from daytime radio for a chant. Cynical, effective, and genuinely the sound of a scene losing control of its own name.

## Analysis

3 sections, no single moment the energy jumps to.

- **Tempo:** 123 BPM — holds throughout
- **Key:** A minor
- **Dynamic range:** 1.2 dB — compressed hard — very little between the quiet and the loud
- **Length:** 2:12

- `0:00` A · **intro**, instrumental — opens the record below its own average energy — playing: drums, bass, other
- `0:50` A · **peak** (bar 26), sung — sits at the top of this record's range — playing: drums, bass, vocals, other
- `1:35` B · **outro** (bar 49), instrumental — the closing fall — playing: drums, vocals, other

**What is playing.** Separated into parts by a source-separation model, so each lane is the instrument it names.

- **drums:** the drum kit, separated from the mix
- **bass:** the bass part, separated from the mix
- **vocals:** the voice, separated from the mix
- **other:** everything else — synths, guitars, keys, strings

Measured from the YouTube master on 2026-08-29. Section labels describe how the energy
moves, not musical form. Anything we were not confident enough to state is omitted
rather than hedged.
