Reviews & Discussion

Review by Alain_Patrick Aug 18, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
A personal friend and huge name in House history, Tyree Cooper reminds with great respect his mate Lidell Townsell, also an essential House producer from the old times: "I fist met Lidell at a party in our neighborhood - it was at a church called St. Visitation. I think I was DJing the party with he and William Stover (also known as Williams S), but we called him "chubby". They introduced themselves to me and the rest is history", said Tyree. "I think I met them like right before or in between all that. I'm not for sure of the time, so bare with me", confessed Mr. Cooper about the exact period it took place, around early 1987. "Lidell and I used to hang out always.

According to Tyree, Lidell gave a huge contribution to his friend and borrowed the equipments used in 'Acid Over': "I asked Lidell Townsell if I could borrow his 303 and 909, so I could make this acid track for my record company. Then, he lent me his machines".

Townsell produced some of the amazing & primarly influential Acid House tunes from the golden era (1987-1989). He was behind "I Gotta Big Dick" with Maurice Joshua with Hot Hands Hula, "This Is Acid" by the same Maurice, and "I'll Make You Dance" featuring the rapper Kool Rock Steady (another musical partner and friend in common he had with Tyree).
