Steve Mac‘s recent Bless This Acid House long player, released in May of last year, has received the remix treatment, with artists such as Bushwacka, ITHURTZ, Johnny Aux, Black Octopus, Jon Carter, Serge Santiago, Redraft Memories & Chip-E, Transparent Sound and more reworking the album’s tracks.
Bless This Acid House Remixed, which has been released on Jack Said What (check it out here), sees Bushwacka offer up his take on Steve Mac and Robert Owens’ Wish; Johnny Aux (aka Quinn from Paranoid London) remix Take You There, featuring the late Sleezy D; Serge Santiago take This Is Acid Mate in an almost Italo direction; Transparent Sound morph Go Bang into a dark electro beast; Jon Carter turn Acid House Guys into twisted techno, and ITHURTZ transform One Day (another Steve Mac and Robert Owens collab) into a tech-house stomper.
The Bless This Acid House album saw Steve Mac team up with some of the biggest names in house music history, including Marshall Jefferson, Danny Rampling, Robert Owens, Sleezy D and more.
Commenting on the album to 909originals last year, Steve Mac said, “One day I just woke up and went ‘ok, I’m going to write an acid house album‘, so I just started programming the 303 with lots of acid lines, programming the drum machines – 909 , 808 , 606 – and an MPC, and just started working it.
“Along the line I had my friends and all-round legends come to the studio: Robert Owens, Marshall Jefferson, Sleezy D (RIP), Raze, Alana. They were all at my studio at different times working on other projects, but for instance, I played Robert a couple of these tracks I had and he was like ‘wow, I’ve got something for this’ – so we recorded the songs there and then.
“I wanted to make an album that paid homage to the original Chicago sound, where this music came from, and these guys invented this sound. All I can say is that I am very lucky to call these people my friends. It has been an honour to work with them all.”
