## What 3 lists say

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.
