## Source Notes

The Acid Tracks reference identifies the record as a 1987 Phuture single produced by Marshall Jefferson and released by Trax Records.

The same reference connects Acid Tracks to Ron Hardy, the Music Box, the Roland TB-303, and its later role as a foundational acid house record.

Pitchfork's DJ Spank-Spank obituary identifies Phuture as a pioneering Chicago acid house group and describes Acid Tracks as widely seen as one of the first songs to birth the acid house genre.
