"Ways Of Making Music" single from the MAN RAY - summer 88 - EP

Band Members:
Peter Hook
Phil Murphy

Man Ray - summer 88 - EP, Peter Hook and producer Phil Murphy creating acid house tracks evoking the style & euphoria felt during that epic “Summer of Love” at The Haçienda nightclub. Revisiting the staple sounds of the period with a modern twist, the duo used analogue technology to recreate precisely the sounds belting through the summer of ’88. A mixture of classic Roland synths & drum machines were employed to simulate the early acid house vibes with samples only being used for sound effects, making both tracks feel naturally timeless.

“Ways Of Making Music” contains a Hook voice over and mixes in classic breakbeats, rave sirens & floor shaking electro bass, displaying a harsher, more abrasive acid style. Reminiscent of middle of the dancefloor Haçienda action from way back, the whistles, Todd Terry-esque keyboard stabs and sense of musical adventure recall the euphoric freedom & passion of the acid house revolution at the Haçienda.
