Wink - Are You There... [acid house, breaks] [1996]

303 heaven. Sick breakbeat. Classic.

Are You There is great!

One of my other Wink favs is his own remix, Winx - Hypnotizin' ('96 Remix). It's so 1991 instead of 1996.

This wicked gurgling acid breakbeat number goes back to 1993 (the single was released approx 2 years prior to the album referenced here):

303 never did much for me. I like subtle acid effects and basslines but not when it dominates the whole track as in higher state. I've heard 303's while completely wasted and it still didnt do it for me. I guess its not for everyone

D'uh! And how do you think all the acid flavoured music differs from any other music without the acid to appeal to each and everyone? You don't need to like everything you know.

This from the guy who praised Acid Trax, which is one 303 pattern and a beat.

The only track of Wink I like a little bit.

Wink's discography goes beyond Higher State, you know. Do check out "Funky Elevation" if you want something more subtle and hypnotic...the spacious melodic stabs are delectable.

wink is pretty much hit or miss for me - usually the latter - but 'are you there' is pretty damn good, despite sounding heavily commercial. i rather reluctantly played the vinyl i found in a discount bin and was rather surprised. i like how the 303 grows more distorted and growls after the middle, something rare coming from wink, and something which he hasn't done with many other tracks.

The Crusher - Redlights / Kill Me features one pretty good banging acid track as well.

I like the cowbell and the kick drum in that track. I've never been able to listen all the way through it because the 303 makes my ears hurt. I like it for the first 4 to 5 minutes then time to mix out.

^I implore you don't ignore my suggestion...it will be a good history lesson for ye'.

First time hearing this. Solid [insert 303 smiley ]. Dark and evolving.

Posted by vinnie97 on Oct-03-2009 23:59:

^nice one...dark but it becomes quite uplifting in a subdued way during the climax.
