Maurice - This Is Acid

A cornerstone of Chicago house music, "No Way Back" by Adonis is a seminal track that helped define the genre and pioneered the acid house movement. Originally released in 1986, this iconic track was crafted by Adonis M. Smith when he was just 19, using the legendary Roland TR-808 drum machine and the now-iconic TB-303 bass synthesizer, affectionately dubbed "The Jackulator." With its relentless, hypnotic bassline and raw, minimalist production, the track became an anthem at Chicago’s Music Box, championed by DJ Ron Hardy, and sold over 100,000 copies—an extraordinary feat for an underground release.

The Greg Wilson Edit, breathes new life into this classic. Renowned DJ and producer Greg Wilson enhances the track’s infectious energy, preserving its gritty, futuristic vibe while adding subtle modern flourishes that make it a dancefloor favorite for new generations. The edit maintains the track’s dystopian vocal edge—“Too far gone, ain’t no way back”—delivered with Adonis’s signature cold, detached style, evoking the hedonistic spirit of the late ’80s club scene.
Hailed as a landmark in electronic music history, "No Way Back" remains a timeless banger, its 303-driven bassline and crisp drum programming continuing to inspire producers and ignite dancefloors worldwide. This Greg Wilson Edit is a perfect blend of Chicago house heritage and contemporary flair, ready to jack the box on any system.

Jack your body and feel the beat—this is house music at its purest.

Growing up in Chicago’s south side in the late 60’s and 70’s, Deeon experienced an era of profound change in America’s cultural and racial landscape which later became the subject-matter for his extensive musical portfolio. At a time when electronic music was new and starting to define itself, he was a pioneer in developing a sound that corresponded to the time and life of the people around him and the surrounding neighborhoods of Chicago’s downtrodden; those in dire need of profound change and liberation. His personal story and musical work is now indistinguishable from that rich tapestry that is America’s contemporary cultural history. 

Deeon started small producing gritty XXX club tracks with call and response chants which Deeon describes as "for the strippers, for the street”. These original masterpieces were created with a 606, 808, and 909 sampler where he made minimal ghetto beat tracks and played them off cassette. This is what provided the spark for Chicago House and Detroit Techno. Soon now-household name DJs and producers would start picking up on this sound, and remixing it and playing it in clubs, radio stations all over the world. It would be defined as “Ghetto House”. 

“it’s just fun music. It’s kind of like a getaway from the reality of life to music. Get freaky with a stranger music. Girls kissin’ girls music. Stress relief music” he would say in an interview for 5Magazine in 2013 regarding his sound. “The best thing [about Ghetto House] is there is almost always a packed dance floor! It moves the crowd. Ain’t that what we came here for?”

In 2002, Deeon’s started his on-going battle with his health problems. Diagnosed with Stage 4 Lymphoma, diabetes and a severe accident which resulted in having his left foot amputated, he has overcome adversity using his sound as a beacon of hope in his own life, to not lose the spark and to keep going strong. 

With a career of collaborations that reads like the who’s who of the history of dance music, remixes done by and for him that have delighted crowds all over the globe and a portfolio stronger than most of the artists in the industry, he’s now getting ready to launch a new stage in his career.
