Wink – Higher State Of Consciousness ( [Colored Vinyl] (Red) (Wht) LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Josh Wink's "Higher State of Consciousness" hit at a pivotal moment when American techno and acid house were crashing into each other, and Philadelphia's underground scene was punching well above its weight on the global dance floor. That hyperventilating, pitch-bent vocal hook became one of the most immediately recognizable sounds of the entire decade, landing equally hard in Detroit warehouses, London superclubs, and late-night radio sets. Three decades on, this pressing gives the track the physical format it deserves.
More Strictly Rhythm GOLD right here. An all-time, hands down, unstoppable CLASSIC record from way back - 1995 to be precise. If you don't know this record it's possible you've been in a coma, living in a cave with no electricity or have literally just arrived here on planet earth. Either way, once you hear 'Higher State of Consciousness' you certainly won't forget it. Produced by Philly's legendary Josh Wink and released by the forward thinking A&R team at Strictly Rhythm. At the time there was very little to nothing that even came close to this release. The 'Tweekin Acid Funk' mix being the highlight and the version that caught everyone's ears and captured minds worldwide across radio-waves with endless rewinds on MTV and in the clubs. Foreseeing the impending 'Breaks' boom that came around in the mid to late 90's 'Higher State...' was one of those rare moments where a record truly transcends genre boundaries and found it's way into DJ's boxes and bags on every scene. A mighty, evergreen slab of wigged out, acidic, breakbeat chaos. Essential. This 2026 repress on iconic red & white splatter vinyl includes the essential 'Tweekin Acid Funk' mix on the A-side and a laid back 'Deep and Slow Chill Edit' on the flip that will ease your way back to reality after your trip.Tracklisting:A.
