DJ/Producer virtuoso Josh Wink, who most recently released the highly celebrated Profound Sounds v2 (the follow-up to his 1999 smash, Profound Sounds v1), brings you 20 to 20 - an Acid House movement-inspired CD of all original material on Ovum Recordings/System Recordings - October 21st, 2003. Motivated by the Acid House sound that emerged in Chicago in the 80s and later exploded as the biggest youth culture movement on the UK club scene since Punk Rock a decade earlier, the collection of Wink tunes on 20 to 20 span a five year writing and DJing period, and serve as a musical homage to Wink's roots and muses.

The celebrated artist, whose productions have moved dance floors and influenced producers world-wide, says Acid House has never left his consciousness: "People often ask what I think about Acid House "coming back"and I tell them that for me it never left. I have continued to incorporate acid house in such recent productions as Superfreak, Evil Acidand my remixes for Dave Clark's Compassand Bodyby Masters at Work."

Created using a Roland TB-303 analogue bass synthesizer, the Acid style began as an accident, when Chicago House pioneers Phuture were trying to figure out how to use their equipment early on. The nascent Acid House sound took over the clubs, and left a huge impression on the then teenage Wink in his hometown of Philadelphia.

Considered one of dance music's legends, having remixed the likes of Depeche Mode, Paul Oakenfold, and most recently, Sting (Wink's remix of Sting's new single Send Your Loveis slated for release on Interscope/A&M in September), Wink refuses to rest on his laurels, continuing to push the envelope with his ground-breaking productions. The 20 to 20 EP is a treat for the heads, for DJs who play on CD, and for die-hard Wink fans alike. Tune in; Turn on; and drop the Bass! Wink calls it Acieeed!
