Skacid music

A sub-genre of house music, skacid is the blending of Jamaican ska with acid house (house music usually based on the TB-303 and TR-909). It is a close relative and predecessor of Jungle. The most famous artist is Longsy D who was popular in the late 80's and early 90's and likely coined the term "skacid." Skacid is also closely related to hip-house, like Jungle Brothers "Girl I'll House You".

9 Nuances of Skacid

Revl9n release SKACID remix EP

WetGossip.com says...

Just when you think a genre is dead, someone comes along to revive it.

I haven't heard the album yet, but Revl9n has released an EP entitled "Waiting For Desire: 9 Nuances of Skacid" which contains all skacid remixes of their song "Waiting For Desire".

This Swedish experimental rock/electro group has great taste so this is bound to be good.

Here's the track listing. (It appears they've also provided an accapella so you can do your own remix!)

1. REVL9N - Waiting For Desire (original)
2. Waiting For Desire (Joseph Garber - Art of Skacid Remix)
3. Waiting For Desire (In Flagranti - Electro Skank Mix)
4. Waiting For Desire (Sci-Fi SKANE - Sci-Fi 9 remix)
5. Waiting For Desire (Body In The Thames - Hydrochloric Skacid mix)
6. Waiting For Desire (Sampo & Dubdeck - Dreamscape91)
7. Waiting For Desire (Blublablo11 - Fixed Store version)
8. Waiting For Desire (Caps Off - Johan Bring of TSOFB - It_s Wrong mix)
9. Waiting For Desire (Nandor Hegedüs - Gravity Drop)
10. Waiting For Desire (Sizzler's - Surf n' Turf Version)
11. Waiting For Desire (accapella)

    Hello. If I could live my life all over again, I would choose to be part of Skacid - being President sucked donkey balls.
