operator tracey delves into the world of weirdo acid on the a1. gloomy digi-strings float over over inflated kick drums and bouncey percussion, choice vocal samples punctuate this unusual yet super infectious, squelchy hardware workout. perseus trax drags the machines out and launches an arpeggiated, ethereal assault. progressive melodies and choking hi hats smash into one another whilst a booming 707 kick rattles the bass bins, prime time floor fodder.

cestrian, the darker and more fiercely electronic incarnation of ali renault (dissident, cyber dance, human shield) provides the suitably titled * annihilator* for future flashs second release. witness relentlessly driving, pure electrical energy, biting 606 percussion and raging 101 basses. perseus trax provides the remix here, letting moody pads and screaming machines weave their way round a slightly more jacked drum palette as boiling acid arpeggiates.

deep disco warrior the revenge turns in an epic hypnotic mix of slow burning house nailed down by analogue bass and acid. using a filtered vocal it builds slowly as the bottom end is tweeked towards a mesmeric journey through minimal wigged out disco. sleazy mcqueen and romano arcaini turn in a disco inflected house mix with congas, spaces out synths and enough dynamics to keep any dancefloor bubbling. it builds with added percussion and a filtered pad before the lead hits the break and the track comes back in with even more wallop. drug empire is an original off the album and has had support from the likes of rune lindbaek, crazy p’s hot toddy and horse meat disco. said to be inspired by theo parrish’s productions it’s a delicious slice of bass driven deep disco with a nod to the looser end of detroit and chicago. it’s all about the fully locked in three note analogue moog bass which holds down the grooved out drums before breaking to jazzy rhodes at the end. one for the heads.
