B1. Mystery Girl (Set Me Free) - Seiji's Bassrub
"There's Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy, Marshall Jefferson, Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, Ralphie Rosario, Kenny "Jammin" Jason and Mickey Oliver. There's Maurice Joshua, K Alexi Shelby, Chris "Bam Bam" Westbrook, Hot Hands Hula and Larry Heard.
There is House Music and then there is ACID House Music, and when you hear the names Phuture, Phantasy and Creator you are talking about DJ PIERRE. He had three girls… Dream Girl, Phantasy Girl and Mystery Girl. They could all be the same girl as far as we know and if that's the case then she must have been a handful.
The contribution from Pierre to this thing we have, this global phenomenon that has never been equalled in impact or cultural relevance, is incomparable. DJ Pierre and Spanky, however unwittingly, laid down the blueprint (together with Marshall Jefferson) for what was to prove to be the biggest thing since rock n roll. The tracks were called "Got the Bug", "Dream Girl", "Fantasy Girl", "Slam" and "Spank Spank". They ensured that when they said "We Are Phuture" they weren't frontin'. The acid house revolution is still as relevant and real today. In the same way that fashions and music repeat themselves in cycles, it's not that acid house is going to come back… it has truly never been away.
The re-release of Pierre's masterpiece "Mystery Girl" on Numbers doesn't hark back to the good old days, it isn't trying to recreate a glorious age that's gone. It simply emphasises that Pierre and acid house, just like they did in the 80s, are still as important as ever.
The truth of the matter is that however many derivatives and sub-cultures come out of it, whether it be UK Funky, Techno, Dubstep or whatever the people are wearing and however they are talking… acid house music will never die."
