Earliest recording from the TB303
Let this sink in, this is one of the earliest recordings from the TB303 from 1982 and it sounds like you could spin this in a club. Just amazing.

Recorded in 1982 at HMV Studios in Bombay, India
Equipment: Roland Jupiter-8, Roland TB-303, Roland TR-808.

This is great. Unbelievable how fresh it sounds
Acccccccciiiiiiieeeeeeeeddddddd
I have been using Pure Acid a lot in my most recent music…something about that 303 sound has really been speaking to me lately .
This is a really good doc on the 303
Bomba track
Nice, thanks for sharing!

Orange juice also recorded and released rip it up in 1982 (album, single came out in 1983.) But it certainly sounds more like what we’ve come to know as a 303.
I vaguely remember a rumour going around that this was a hoax by aphex twin. I’m glad that’s been disproved, but it’s kinda testament to how good it is.
Seems like there is a credible reason to dispute the originator of acid house. This was very forward thinking and proved beyond the shadow of a doubt the use of the 303 as a bass guitar replacement.
Thank the gods I was able to see Charanjit Singh when he toured in 2014.
Cool short movie I just found
Finally had the time to check this out, and damn. What a great track! Definitely Indian in musicality, but sounds exactly like what people in Chicago and Detroit invented. Of course back then, there was no widespread internet, so Charanjit Singh didn't know who, say, Jeff Mills was and vice versa. But we as an audience get to benefit from listening to these great records.
Brilliant - I’m enjoying this immensely.
