after a strong debut these boring middle-aged, middle-class family men continue their adventures in the world of acid this time with a strong two track release on finnish proform series. a-side “tÖks” takes us to the exciting world of serious low ends, electro beats and 303 lines you haven’t heard before. if you want to burn down the floor or house, this is your choice! on the flipside “tolkun acid” continues the strong finnish storytelling culture mixing mysterious finnish lyrics with some deep grinding acid lines. the ultimate choice if you want to confuse and make everybody dance at the same time. limited and numbered edition of 200, after that it’s gone, no represses, no digital, so you know what to do!

another odd and rather good 12inch from hyv. we don t know much, but they seem to just know. tip! tracks from hyvinkää, finland. written by juho kahilainen and tomi kesäniemi. both boring family men, middle-aged and middle-class. however, they ve been here long enough to learn a trick or two. nods to detroit, nods to acid. a mid-tempo track tape loader sounds like a 909 trapped in swamp. fast and jazzy r train funk pays a tribute to detroit-legends with a decent 303 line to drink beer to. the tower that stands in the woods is a dubby slow-down before suomi 100 acid celebrates finlands 100th anniversary with lyrics that deal with recession and the finnish government s fair deal to cut everyone s wage.

coming from the notorious l.a. promoters/multi-media group droid behavior, vangelis and vidal vargas are no strangers to techno. these brothers have been shaping and molding l.a. dance floors since the early 2000s. formerly known as acid circus, they started to record as raíz in 2010 for their first release on historia y violencia.

2 slamming tracks by label heads silent servant and santiago salazar with that classic historia y violencia formula! side a >mi alma< is a throbbing beast of a track with silent servants signature feedback sound underlying it all. while the drums pulsate along the track, the main synth modulates throughout working the dance floor to a techno frenzy. side b >corazon< is the perfect contrast! taking notes from the 313, salazar builds this track with vibes and strings to a uplifting detroit vibe that is his signature sound.
