  • UK dance music authority Terry Farley has overseen a five-CD compilation of classic acid and deep house for Harmless. Acid Thunder: More Definitive Acid & Deep House 1985-1991 is a follow-up to 2013's Acid Rain compilation, which was also curated by Farley. This collection touches on a load of remastered classics—58 in total—from the likes of E.S.P., Marshall Jefferson, Sterling Void, Blake Baxter, Bobby Konders and DJ Rush. (A healthy portion of the tracks come from the D.J. International catalogue.) Each disc has a different theme, with one CD presented as a tribute to house legend Frankie Knuckles, who died earlier this year. The sleeve notes for the compilation have been written by RA contributor Jacob Arnold. There's also a 32-page booklet with photos, flyers and other memorabilia.
