Me, Spank, and Herb made ACID Track in Spank's mom's living room while we were still in school, and at that time none of us had yet to have ever met Marshal. When I did finally meet Marshall Ron Hardy had already been playing Acid Track for months and Marshall even said that he had knew about the track and even heard Ron drop it. But now he's saying that he produced it? I'm very very hurt and disappointed that he would say such thing, I thought that we were friends and I also looked up to him as a mentor. So I'm totally lost and utterly confused right now and not at all sure what the motivation would be for him to even make such a claim. I've reached out to him and my management are in the process of reaching out to Electronic Beats about this situation and the inclusion of such an obviously fraudulent claim by Marshall Jefferson in this video. Just a little research would have put them onto the falsities of his statement. This is the history of a music and a movement, let's please get it right.

@Telekom Electronic Beats The context term of the use of producer (like in this case), was traditionally the role of an ‘executive producer’ to finance sessions and bring the artist in the studio. (even though it was TRAX Records who paid for the session and asked Marshall to be there with us that day to re-lay Acid Trax, nothing was added or taken away and nothing was performed on the track by Marshall either) These days in dance music the writer, engineer and producer are all one, hence the term and meaning of producer is used to mean the artist, or the one who created the work. My only point here is that most people who will view this video based on how Marshall explained things will think that Marshall Jefferson was the person made/created Acid Trax, specially by his blatant deception in the description that he laid out. Sense you sited Wikipedia as a reference let me also do the same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Pierre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phuture All I seek to do here is make a very concise clarification on the creation of Acid Trax as this song is one of the most pivotal and influential releases to the foundation of what sparked the rave/ festival scene. Acid house started the biggest youth movement since Rock & Roll. This story is so vital to the history of the house music/edm/Club culture as a whole and needs to be protected and portrayed correctly. btw thanks & big respect @ElectronicBeats for the pin. and hearing me out. I also want to apologize for being triggered. Let's all continue to push this movement forward!!

Ahhh, revisionist history at its finest. Even attempting to change the definition of producer to fit your ridiculous narrative. So, after having my name as producer of the record for 35 years, NOW you have a problem with me saying I "also produced Acid Tracks" when the discussion was about I've Lost Control. Well, I DID produce Acid Tracks and I'll CONTINUE to say I produced Acid Tracks. Acid Tracks was PRODUCED in a basement of a church and engineered by a pastor, who's never done a house record before or since. NOBODY in that session knew how a record was going to come out of it except me. There is no "new definition of producer."

@pierre; Every single release of “Acid Tracks” has me as producer, so exactly what “research” are you talking about? 1. When we were in the studio doing “Acid Tracks”, did you or anyone from Phuture even touch the console? 2. How was the engineer, a preacher with no knowledge of House music, able to EQ the record perfectly not only for the Music Box, but for dance floors all over the world? Did the record just magically record and mix itself? 3. I’ve had production credit on Acid Tracks for 35 years now, are you saying you didn’t know that? Because if you DID know that, it would mean you’ve resented me for 35 years over a production credit when I loved you like a brother. Would’ve been better if you told me from the start.

Gigantic, benchmark record. Heard played by a ton of folks, from house crews like DiY to US and British garage bods over the years

If I ever go out to the hills for an outdoor bash again, a track on that level opens up a collective psychic porthole to bliss. 14 hours later, atoms rearranged, shuffle home

Miss a messy knees up
