The very first recording of Acid Breaks was back in 1987. There was a white label floating around in Florida and I got a hold of it. It was completely different from anything going around at that time; it had a breakbeat and this crazy bass sound being filtered through the whole track.

I was deejaying at some of the clubs in Miami and South Florida and I remember droping this record in my set one night. The dance floor got so quite and people just stood there. Right about then, I knew that no one was ready for this track yet. But after I played it, I remember so many people kept coming up to me and asking me what was the name of the track. Since it was a white label, I didn't have any clue so I had told them it had no name. Well, that was a big mistake because after that every time I play at those clubs, people kept asking for that song with no name.

About 3 months later, another track came out.This time it had a name on it - Acid Break by Ralf Baney.When I listened to it, I realized it was the same track that I got a few months ago. The white label with the crazy bass sound and the breakbeat!

Now finally I had found the name of the track. I was really happy and excited. I went back to the record store and asked the clerk if he knew where I can get a hold of some more of this kind of music. He told me that what I had in my hands was the only track of that kind. Then I asked him what record company the record came from, he started to giggle and he told me it was not a record label but a 15-year-old kid brought those test pressings in. From then on there were new test pressings coming out every 2 or 3 months. They had different names like Ralf Baney, Ralf B, Ralphie, reb, Z1, Z7, Zak Baney or Zak B - later I found out they were all done by the same producer. I am happy to know that me and a few other underground deejays helped bring acid breaks to a level of understanding.
