Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Acid house is an endlessly compiled genre, but this five-disc collection may be the closest thing to a definitive take.

Twenty-five years since the scene's peak year of 1988, Farley concentrates on the sound's Chicago roots, with classics by the likes of Phuture, Bam Bam and DJ Pierre, almost all on original 12-inch club mixes. Obsessives will head straight for the previously unreleased "Bad Boy" by Frankie Knuckles, but the entirety amounts to an all-night Shoom set in itself.
