rediscovered 80�s british acid house gem �cortina kidz� recently made a serious impact on andy butler�s mr. intl with remixes from factory floor and juan maclean & tim sweeney. hot on the heels, moscow�s lipelis� steps in to remix with striking results. pitchfork enthused of the recent reissue being �a chilly acid-house track operating the influence of both soft cell and the specials,� xlr8r as �drenched in dark and sleazy overtones, the track encapsulates a downtrodden time in london�, while ransom note noted �cortina kidz is more than just an old skool oddity- it s a banger that s stood the test of time�. originally recorded on london�s stoke newington road in 1987, produced by a young tim brinkhurst ahead of his imminent record deal with virgin records with his band soho, and long before his current role as manager of mercury prize winners, young fathers, �cortina kidz� remained undiscovered and the eccentric spoken word overlay and weird lead vocal made it very unlike the prevailing dance music sound of the time. leonid lipelis explains that �since it�s a reissue of a relatively unknown record it gave me a certain freedom of expression (when it�s something well known and classic you re likely to produce something more serious). i came up with more of a pop song, structured with a vocoder for the main version and had fun playing with vocal samples for the dub mix, paying homage to the 80s sound in both.- lipelis� recent release on lies records has gained him support from four tet to dimitri from paris. he also runs a side project for hardware jams called tmo and co-runs low budget family records.

marek hemmann s new ep chameleon offers an appetizer to his forthcoming album: two euphoric 10minute house cuts that do what they do whether in the oven that is the underground cellar or on the window sill at home with a view to the prairie. both give that hemmann characteristic crispy , dry beat with a pulse and drives the listener almost trance-like ever forward. on top of that, -chameleon- builds a tender, soft synthie sound structure that again and again brings a wonderful heavenly vibe that in seconds turns into a complex form. alice uses a similarly sounding house rhythm and forms a soft almost romantic melody that so quickly takes on a hypnotic-type flavor

vol.2 , selected and sequenced by vladimir ivkovic and ivan smagghe

dark entries and emotional rescue team up to further explore psychic tv�s acid house years. psychic tv was formed by genesis p-orridge and peter christopherson of throbbing gristle with alex fergusson of alternative tv in 1981. after various line up changes, the band shifted direction to dance oriented songs influenced by the house and techno scenes of detroit and chicago. by 1988 the group included dave ball of soft cell, fred giannelli of turning shrines and matthew best of carcrash international. during the summer of 1988 the group recorded a batch of songs at time square studios in london that would appear under the guise of various artists compilations jack the tab� and �tekno acid beat�. the idea behind these �compilations of imaginary artists was creating a sense that a healthy acid house scene existed in the uk. virginia was the studio project of dave �mista luv� ball and then-wife virginia �gini� ball, a classical violinist who toured and recorded with siouxsie and the banshees and marc almond.
