norwegian duo trulz & robin throw down the gauntlet with the third vinyl-only statement from the cymawax label, delivering an acidic take on their patented ‘hot and crunchy techno with soul.’ the prolific pair from oslo have been a force in their country’s electronic music scene for over two decades, with massive singles for full pupp, eskimo recordings, and the cymasonic and cymawax labels to show for it. now, the agent acid ep finds trulz & robin infiltrating the secret lair of a 303 conspiracy and decoding a quartet of sonic documents full of heavy synthesized funk. the ep’s title track is a slinky introduction, featuring battling analog squelches and drum machine patterns while a disembodied vocal plays on top. “i disappear”, adding collaborator brokkoli on the voice, is a more in-your-face effort as its pulsating sequences give way to floor-thrilling breakdowns. the low end might of “magnetisk smultring” showcases trulz & robin’s experimental side, complete with a disconcerting middle passage that soon reveals gentle synth melodies over a hypnotic rhythm section. then “my body”, the release’s closing track, introduces mysterious feelings … percussive clicks and tones build steadily as dub effects, sharp washes, and ominous whispers take hold. the agent acid ep is another triumph for trulz & robin … a masterclass of covert nightclub maneuvers.

jackson lee & ben jenkins return to their roots. equally influenced by detroit warehouse parties & metaphysics of middle-american industrial decay to advance basic channel/deepchord blueprint, morphing dub sound into baroque acid dreamscape.

up first, juice machine is a barreling cut with pinging drums that ride up and down in infectious style. carefully treated vocals echo up top and add a dub flavour as subtle rave horns and old school motifs also colour the groove. when remixed by re.you, the track becomes a more subdued, deeper cut with spraying synths and a sense of late night paranoia in the grooves. lastly, badass acid is a minimal cut with warm pads, hiccuping sine waves and a growing sense of synthetic tension. it s a masterful bit of slow burning craftsmanship that has icy hi hats to die for.

techno-legends oliver bondzio and ramon zenker aka hardfloor are back in style this season! with their beloved machine music that is free from seasonal flares, and artificial flavours. hardfloor are still true to the core of their 303 platine circuit boards. electronic music production is nothing less than a bare necessity to these pioneers of the acid groove. hailed and namedropped by many a young producer’s today, revamped or sampled... acid lines emerge anew in quite a few tracks. but when hardfloor put acid in their tank - it is sooo much more and way bigger than a marketable gimmick or the fuel to an otherwise exchangeable battery of loops. it is the motor, the lifeline and the heartbeat to a whole organism offering a whole world of expression and – first and foremost - emotions!

the debut full-length by achterbahn d amour (johannes iron curtis paluka and jurgen jool albert), captures two artists coaxing the most emotional sounds to date out of classic roland boxes. the album is the natural extension of the duos live rooted sound, further defining the oblique dance moves contained on their three acid test eps. they demonstrate a true reverence for the 303 and 606. on odd movements, lush pads and abrupt toms create a literal pedestal for the bassline machine. the duo have hit on a sound well-suited for dark rooms and towering sound systems. due in jan, 2014

swiss producer echo 106 who 1st appeared on the music from mathematics vol. 7 release sees an ep with 4 outstanding tracks. the title track calls upon the spirits of chicagos jack past & is followed by copy ins del, a deep acid filled cut.

as dmob said in the early 1988 we call acid - the musical phenomenon that makes you want to dance, that puts you in a trance, that move you to the beat. in 2012 a turin mysterious artist know as a.m.b. ( acid music band ) decided to follow the way to acid music, inspired by the acid guru as virgo or tyree cooper and the first techno workers as underground resistance or juan atkins he produced two tracks only with analog instruments and acid attitude. acid music band sounds like an orchestra, the man is the music director and the machines are the players. we are young so we asked help from an old expert… directly from the chi-city, ricardo miranda contributed to create an overall ep with his fantastic boogie remix. old and young records.. we love acid too.

abstract acid is proud to announce a new ep by takeshi kouzuki, the talented producer who, with exciting works available on chicago label mathematics and another due for release shortly, needs no introduction. staying true to the abstract acid ethos, analogue vibes are the order of the day, from gritty blends of acidic machine funk to melodic enriched house vibes. its all on offer on this superb 4 track ep.

nys underground celebrity, electronic obscurity and rare disco specialist william burnett (aka grackle, aka speculator) delivers an ep that truly defies any categorization and therefore will have a harder time to find its way into the stores usually packed with easily digestible pre-masticated dancefloor stew that comes with filing recommandations. the music on this record evokes images of mad peyote sessions held amidst dry and sandy landscapes. the original desert acid sounds like a jam machines and instruments would do when left on their own, unsupervised by humans. a wobbly and acidey synthline goes on a psychedelic journey with fuzzy guitar riffs, backed by a stompy almost tribal discobeat. düsseldorfs currently most interesting band musiccargo rework the piece into a cinematic krautdisco gem that floats on a loopy vibraphone drone, sprinkled with german and english lyrics. sombrero galaxy (aka cbs/intergalactic fm regular dj tako reyenga and his mysterious uk buddy jonny nash) take the track into cosmic realms (rare occasion where the term really fits) and their version could easily be interpreted as a vangelis tribute. the last track on the ep we are it is a slow 808 jam with druggy and spaced out fuzzy vocals, paired with equally druggy and fuzzy guitars. if you are a filmmaker and you need a song for a weird desert scene youd be an idiot not to consider this one the perfect choice.

on his new 12inch >acid oscillations<, antonelli presents two new warehouse movers with raw old-school power. with its core electronic squelch sounds synthesized through experimental use of analog sequencers and the machine-like drums surrounded by swinging basslines, >acid oscillations< revels in a repetitive and hypnotic style. limited to 250 copies !

the first vinyl version of the upcoming cd album with some magical works of unit moebius. this first 12inch contains some of their hottest tracks including the legendary >world goes around<, an evil cover of a classic chicagohouse track by cool mccool. the flip side contains the more deeper side from their first releases. for those who were there in those years 91/92/93, at the famous parties in the hague and rotterdam, this is a walk down memory lane, for those to young or living in other parts of the world... imagine these tracks in a dark, very dark sweaty basement with only strobe light and smoke machines, camouflage nets, and jacking acid and techno sounds for more then 10 ours. djs such as i-f, serge, schmerzlabor, peter ptau ptau and live acts such as unit moebius played the hottest and freshest music all night long until you lost your sense of time and place and ended in a total mind trip. the pure essence of house and techno! the golden years :-)

the trickfinger project was recorded 10 years ago with no intention of being released at the time, made purely for discovery and learning experience. -in my opinion, making music with no intention of releasing it is the best thing a musician can do for his own development in this day and age. the trickfinger lp was made in that mindset, and it was the beginning of a new musical life for me. when i hear it, it sounds like i am opening up doorways to new worlds, and i never have had that feeling listening to music i made for the purpose of releasing it and selling it.- all the music was recorded live onto a cd burner, through a cheap mixer. john would sit on a chair, in his living room, surrounded by five to 15 machines, and just keep programming and jamming until the track was ready to be recorded. there were no overdubs Ð recorded all live

repress - clara and armand made their first tracks for the retirement of the librarian from their art school in paris. beginning the collaboration which brought them to post a few tracks on soundcloud and a first single «prettiest virgin» in april. the silky and roaring voice of clara mixes perfectly with armand’s drum machine and those 90’s keyboards. hammering with acid bass, the tandem brings us to an «early warp» sound between daniel maloso, black devil disco and ariel pink. «cardan» ep is a journey into a fantasy of america, but also into a world of synthesis where nothing is clear, all our orientations are scrambled. nobody has control. the virgin forget herself, the princess is drowning but the parrot knows everything.
