Chicago & Acid House 584 Artikel

Hot shit by LFO, Andreas Gehm, Luke Vibert and B12! As a special edition for the 25th release on Balkan Vinyl - six tracks selected from the label’s back catalogue – four of them having never before released on vinyl, the remaining two from highly sought after out-of-print releases.Includes the last ever track released by LFO “I Love Acid”, Global Goon’s acid anthem “Craehzrhd” from the very first Balkan release in 2010, and the opener from the late Andreas Gehm 12” on I Love Acid “Heaven and Hell”. Luke Vibert, B12, and Plaid round off the EP with tracks that were previously only available as part of a digital download from the label itself (never in shops until now).

A selection of tracks from the archive. Twelve tracks for those who like it the easy way and don't want to collect all the 12's.

From Conrad Schnitzler in the 1960s to the pioneers of Detroit techno in the 1980s, experimental sonic artists were often inspired by the metallic noises of industrial factories. Schnitzler wanted to recreate the sounds he heard in his apprenticeship as a locksmith with musical instruments, and the sons and daughters of the midwestern automobile-industry generation programmed the motown soul into Japanese electronic music equipment. With his new piece The Metal Beat EP, Credit 00 wants to get in line with this tradition of transforming factory sounds into music. Each of the three tracks reflects on the role of the human being in an industrial environment. The never-ending movement of the machine becomes the rhythm, while the melody embodies our forlorn voices in the vastness of the factory site. The blues played by machines--modern work songs for a post-industrial society!

After the first cult HIT ep "IM KELLAR EP" on Moustache Records Im Kellar continue their pumping EBM wave techno electro analog driven sound with the awaited ep called "THE SCENE EP" 4 tracks made by two legendary figures and longtime friends from the Rotterdam underground scene: David Vunk and David Spanish. Because you are the scene we are the scene THE SceEeeeeeEennNneeEee... no represses.. Moustache Records delivers new music, always....

Two Berlin underdogs and a Detroit ravemaster. A driving force in the very early Frankfurt electronics since the late 80s, to hardcore acid in Brooklyn in the early 90s, producing legends as Carlos Peron among many others along his way, ADSX aka Andre Fischer might sound new to many but has been an active part of the underground electronic movement for the last 30 years. Benji DF aka Hanoben is no newbie to the scene either and might have soundtracked your night if you were to be found at clubs like Tresor or Snax in the late 90s. Together they recorded an ode to aural sex, its acid counterpart, and a genius sketch of a club banger. When label honcho Capablanca heard the latter had little doubts about commissioning an extended mix to Motor City's Special Forces Gen. Sharif Laffrey aka thee Activator, who needs little introduction to the discerning raver ears as the man behind instant acid classics Turn It Up and Always, among others. After countless studio days and nights and endless versions (we stopped counting at 56th) Sharif delivers what is possibly his best work to date, an unstoppable 12 minute dancefloor annihilator. To wrap such special release we asked legend Alan Oldham aka UR's Minister of Information (aka DJ T-1000, also responsible for label designs for Transmat, Djax, Submerge, Pure Sonik and a long etcetera) to create one of his classic artworks. Capablanca deconstructs his center pieces for the fully printed sleeve, and everybody S.C.R.E.A.M.

DBH Music welcomes DJ Duke and his Power Music Universum to the label Family! We're happy to present you in the future some of the best releases from this unique catalog! Starting with Sex Trax 15 - Spank Spank - Da E.P. This outstanding release was produced by L.A. Williams, Roy Davis Jr. and Phuture founder Earl Smith Jr. who died too young in 2016.

A dusty Detroit basement meets illegal rave in Leeds. Vid Vai embarks on a new Sci-Fi episode with his second EP for the ever-growing Slovenian label Phi. A bleepy affair that keeps bubbling below the surface is distinguished by well-arranged harmonies and surprising plot twists. You never know whether you're sitting on your sofa or ending up on an alien dancefloor.

T-Coy's 'Cariño' - An all-time UK acid house classic from 1987. Fusing the industrial clicking and whirring of the UK's post-industrial landscape with the lush, melodic, balearic inspired piano lines of the white isle and sucking us all in in the process. A true masterpiece courtesy of Mancunians Mike Pickering, Simon Topping and the late Ritchie Close who's combined projects included Quando Quango, M-People, Annette, A Certain Ratio and more. It's truly hard to believe this record is 30 years old. It can easily stand shoulder to shoulder with anything being released today. The B-side 'Regret' is also an amazing, minimal slice of punk-funky 808 driven niceness. Super stripped back and with an innocent charm and poppy vibe it is the perfect foil to the latino house chaos of 'Cariño' on the other side. One could argue that the A-side will take you up, and the B-side will bring you down (In the best possible way!). This classic has been legally reissued by Above Board distribution in conjunction with the legal rights holders - Sony Music Entertainment. This high quality repress features original 1987 Deconstruction Records label artwork and has been remastered from Sony's original sources by Optimum Mastering, Bristol UK.

Seminal Dance Mania release from 1997. Ultra rare and highly essential.

Classic alert! This is the 2016 repress of this killer Chicago acid record. In our opinion one of the biggest, rarest and untouched Chicago House tunes. Don’t sleep!

Back in! Repressing of Larry Heard's return into the spotlight with another classic release after all those years! A fantastic 12 presenting the gifted Memphis based vocalist Mr. White (aka Chad White). 'You Rock Me' is a soulful affair, created to be timeless, while 'The Sun Can't Compare' is a fun play with vocals over a typical Larry Heard acid track. Must have for all fans of good house music!!

So here it is vol 6, with 6 trax, yes 6 trax, hows that for value for money. Track 1 , kicks off the e.p with a monkey infused acid rolla from The He-Men ,aptly named Rolla, really deep acid rolling track for you head nodders out there , then track 2 comes courtesy of new family member Bufo Bufo, who already boasts releases on ritual poison and EGD, his track is a real four/four breakbeat extravaganza, moves along lovely with breaks and bleeps, very excited about this track and a very please to have him in the TDO family. DJPC returns with track 3, his track called danger man, and believe this is dangerous, proper old school sounding warehouse rave with wicked pianos and baselines .good to have him back. Then flip over and boom side B, hits ya with Dawl track party till the A.M , great advice and a great track from Dawl, back to his proper full on rave breaks and bleeps to kick off side B the way only he can. Then track 2 we welcome another new member to the TDO family, although he has mastered several e.p’s and digi trax for us , this is the first track Craig Bratley has ever made for us, over the moon to have this man on board - Craig has earned a solid reputation from a series of curiously erratic releases, releasing records across the spectrum of electronic music on labels such as Futureboogie, Suara, Throne Of Blood, Bird Scarer, Tsuba, Instruments Of Rapture, Claremont 56, Leng, To Rack And Ruin and Is It Balearic and as well as his own Magic Feet imprint. The recent discovery of a box of old DAT tapes in a house move has allowed Craig to revisit some of his earlier attempts at making music in the 90’s. The re-sampling and editing one of these tracks has provided the basis for Craig’s contribution to Tone Dropout Volume 6, ‘Back From the DAT’. From the DAT really is a hats off tip to the rave generation, thank you craig proper got this right for our label. Then finally track 6 , is bonus track , Tones Breaks part 2, a full on pow in ya face rave banger, a little feature we will be doing now on e.p’s a nod to the legendary bones breaks of course.

ntroducing Basic Vision, a new imprint releasing a vinyl series of rare classics from the legendary back to basics club. Selected and compiled by the man who played the first ever record at the club, original resident DJ Ralph Lawson, on this release joined by long term resident Tristan Da Cunha on selection duties. All the tracks are cut to vinyl from the original master recordings and given enough time on high quality vinyl to ensure clean, loud pressings with original artwork by the godfather of punk design - Jamie Reid. The artwork spans across 4 records, which collected together will make the compete picture. Basic Vision 003 heavily features the birthplace of house, Chicago, with a selection of rare cuts that always move the dance-floor. The highly sought after OG Freak mix of Cassio Ware - I Wanna See You Dance rocks the spot on the A side. This is the original Black House version and not the remixes or re-edits that can be found. Mark Grant and Cajmere only made one record together as The Chicago Connection and it was a true bomb. Mint copies go for L75 but Cajmere's remix is included here and cut loud from the original master recording. The flip side features a cheeky sneaky as we like to call them in the shape of a lost Johnny Fiasco remix of Armando - Don't Take It. A Mint copy of that cut alone will cost L150. Basic Vision 003 is rounded off nicely with Da Rebels - House Nation Under a Groove, baby !

Introducing Basic Vision, a new imprint releasing a vinyl series of rare classics from the legendary back to basics club. Selected and compiled by the man who played the first ever record at the club, original resident DJ Ralph Lawson. All the tracks are cut to vinyl from the original master recordings and given enough time on high quality vinyl to ensure clean, loud pressings with original artwork by the godfather of punk design - Jamie Reid. The artwork spans across 4 records, which collected together will make the compete picture. Basic Vision 002 features more gems for collectors including the legendary Mood II Swing Border Insanity dub of Crustation - Flame. Championed by many DJs including raresh and Apollonia this stripped down cut was only found on the B side of the original release at a low pressing level. It has never been licensed for vinyl since as the original master has been lost for nearly 20 years. Lawson was determined to get this track onto the compilation as it is a bona fide back to basics bomb so he managed to trace down the master to a dusty DAT tape in a basement in New York and lovingly re-mastered from tape with a cut on one side to ensure a really loud pressing for DJ use. Flip the vinyl over and you will also get a treat in the shape of the eternal 51 Days - Paper Moon, originally recorded in 1994 this is still one of the best-produced house records ever made. It can live in a DJ box forever as the perfect warm up record. If that wasn't enough the record is completed with Terence FM - Feelin' Kinda High, another all time classic moment in time from Cajmere's Chicago based imprint Cajual. Again used at the right time causes devastation on the dancefloor.

Parisian underground cult-figurehead VOIRON is next up on Glasgow's Craigie Knowes. The 4 track VOIRONZINOR EP strikes with a ferocious blend of Acid, Rave and Hardcore sounds with that signature VOIRON dusting of Gabber-esque roughness. Those with knowledge of 1980's French rave culture will catch the nod in the EP title too. A record of true heavy hitters.

Photic Fields usher a new name into the fold, Switzerland's Contra Communem Opinionem aka CCO. The Lux Rec and Mathematics alumni arrives with The Road to the Stars, five tracks of his trademark acid elegance. The ferocity of the 303 has been sheathed, percussion pared down with lush chords and deep warmth being the focus. House is the foundation from which CCO builds. Those time honoured sounds support cascading melodies and fragile keys for a 12" that borders between armchair abstraction, floor funk and the night sky.

Fantastic re_issue of Mr. Fingers' seminal "Can You Feel It". All 4 mixes in all their glory re mastered from original files for 2014. If you only buy one House record in your life, this should be the one!!!

Timeless deep house anthem by Larry 'Mr. Fingers' Heard!

A past affiliate of Richie Hawtin's Minus label, Berlin-based expat Kevin McHugh (aka Ambivalent) joins the ranks at CPU under his more recent alter ego of LA-4A.McHugh launched his own Delft imprint in 2013, which saw the birth of LA-4A, initially an anonymous production handle.On Slackline, McHugh delivers 4 tracks of uncompromising techno: you'll find interwoven breaks and refined sampling; and as the track entitled Punishment clearly suggests, only the hardiest of techno fans will survive it's onslaught.

This EP sees the German legends laying down some seriously danceable acid, laced with an undercurrent of techno. ‘Lights, Camera, Acid’ contains echoes of their seminal track ‘Acperience 1’, channelling the 303 vibe, whereas ‘Yo! Bum Rush The Silver Box’ ploughs a more electro furrow of acid. Both grooves come in at over the 6 minute mark. Mastered by Curve Pusher, artwork by G.S-L Studio.

Australian man of mystery Privacy returns to Klasse Wrecks after a 3 year hiatus and the wait has most certainly been worth the while. Four original tracks make up the 'New Product' EP, with the artist exploring new styles and tempos. Ranging from electro-speed to stomp-wave, each track is a masterclass in the style of Privacy's ever expanding body of work.

The brilliantly beguiling R-Zone series hits release number 20 with another genre defying four track EP by no one knows who. As always, the music looks backwards to go forwards and frantically blends breakbeat, rave, acid, house, electro and techno into wild new forms. The Geometry of Shadows kicks off with a flurry of pinging kick drums, rushing synths and smeared chords that manage to be physical yet serene at the same time. Chrysalis is deep Detroit style house with gurgling basslines and warm future soul synths extending off into the cosmos. Ship of Tears then races through the galaxies as asteroids, shooting sci-fi synths and glassy melodies all fly by in enchanting fashion, Acid is buried deep within and the drum programming is busy and direct. The Parliament of Dreams closes things down with more haunting celestial pads and cold acid lines that are all backed by boom-bap breakbeats. It's dance floor euphoria of the highest order once more.

Repress of the highly sought after Transmat Classic by K. Alexi Shelby!

More classic, ghetto Chi-town business from the DM vaults here - 2-Bit Project's (aka Larry Thompson of LNR fame!) 'Bump That Pussy' EP is another hot, collectible entry into the DM catalogue. This special, enhanced 2017 repress version features all the OG cuts (except 1 short skit) and boasts 2, yes 2!, exclusive extended edits from UK man of mystery and all round house digger extraordinaire Jonny Rock. If you know JR's steez then you know he knows exactly what is up with the underground. He's neatly extended the 2-Bit originals (which were originally very short tracks!) and teased the funk outta the right crevices for all us lucky folks. If you like that raw, rugged, Chicago, minimal fonk that Dance Mania are known for, you'll love this one. A killer, solid and in-demand EP. One for the headz. Massive record, pure power all the way through and an essential weapon for the record bag! Fully, legit reissue done with the permission and assistance of Dance Mania records and Mr. Parris Mitchell, Chicago USA.

By now, Chicago's home of the ghetto house movement, Dance Mania, should need no introduction!If you didn't already know, they are the original purveyors of that hard-ass, stripped back, tough, hitting electronic funk, they've never held back with their output. Operating since the late 80's the label has gained legions of fans over 2 decades as well as a certain notoriety and one of their most well-known artists has got to be the legendary DJ Deeon and his various production pseudonyms! This, the second in a series of samplers focusses on some of his unreleased cuts, rarities and classics from the DM catalogue. Kicking things off with the demented over-sexed jacking off of 'Da Dik Suk' this EP shows you what's up from the jump. Lifted off 1996's 'Freak Like Me' EP this is vintage Deeon to the core! This is followed up with the minimal, acidic runnings of '1112', from Deeon's 1996 'Chop Shop' release, a wigged out, simplistic groove that just won't stop. Classic Chicago weirdness that simply just slams. The frenetic 'Phenomenon' opens up side B, produced under his Mute pseudonym and originally released in 1997 this is a sure-fire rarity from the DM vaults. A tough one to track down and a real essential under the radar cut. Also featured is the wild acid of Playground Productionz' 'The Box', here in unreleased (!) rare remixed form by another Chi-town legend - Paul Johnson. Top shelf business. Last but certainly not least is another Playground jammer in the form of the killer 'Vertigo' lifted off the same EP from 1994 which is surely enough to whet even the toughest of appetites. File under 'JACKIN'. Every track on here has been remastered and repressed with the full consent and involvement of DJ Deeon and Parris Mitchell, selected and programmed from Deeon's private archives and DAT tapes for Above Board, London. 100% hater free.

1994 - Chicago producer Rick Lenoir has already released a slew of legendary records under many well known aliases and his House Jam label has been in business since '87. The Sanctuary Project is the nom de plume utilised by Rick for this particular killer Disco infected 4 track EP from that period. The keen eared among you will no doubt recognise some of the sample sources used throughout these tracks, Lenoir flips jazzy loops, chopped up vocals and lays it all out over some kicking drum programming, this is that style of sample based House that has the hardened dance heads and hip-hoppers unified, gritty, raw and brimming over with soul! The cuts featured on this EP will sit nicely with most contemporary sounds and shows how on the money Rick was in the mid 90's! The record has long been out of print and has been forever popular with the diggers out there, commanding a healthy price when available in the second hand stores and online. This reissue has been realised with the full involvement of Rick Lenoir / House Jam Records, Chicago and is 100% legit! Don't snooze, this one deserves a spot in any self respecting House heads record bag or DJ set, classic material made available again for 2017 - 'Running it’!

Reissue of sought after early Recondite double pack.

A5 shows us his talents for deepness over 4 tracks of sun-kissed grooves!

Raw dirty jacking tracks fatter than a ferry to Helsingor! Nimam Spregleda provides 4 tracks representing the underground sound of Helsingborg and its tradition of embracing sounds from both Chicago and Karlskrona. Most tracks are on the gritty acid house slant but with a weird punk attitude & the last one is a nutball out-of-sync dancefloor wrestler for drunken sailors. Yes, you need some smalltown DANG from Nimam Spregleda before the ferry arrives. -DJ Joakim Cosmo

Hello, I am Qnete and these are my Play-Doh Stories. Some of them are already three years old and it feels like I've become somewhat of a different person since then. Still, I like to listen to them from time to time, thinking of how I was back then, reminding me of what helped shape me, what helped me become who I am now. Sometimes, I also get the feeling that it is not me who wrote the stories. They seem to seem unknown to me, just like they seem to you, because you are not me. Then I listen, and I know again.

RAWAX joined forces with the great dutch SlapFunk label! The result is a fantastic v.a. ep called "Slap Wax 1" with track by Samuel Deep, Locklead, William Caycedo and Julian Alexander!

The new release features 6 tracks and follows Julien’s critically acclaimed debut album, Fallen. Released in 2016, the autobiographical LP was a bold new direction for Julien, and the first release under his birth name. Over the years, the Apron Records boss’ bold, experimental electronics, jagged club cuts and outside-the-box collaborations have seen him carve out a lane all of his own making. His debut LP was divided into two musically contrasting sides, and told the tale of a fallen angel though jazz-fusion, chiming soundscapes and dark acid-tinged techno.Since his album release, Julien has continued his creative streak by playing across the globe, from Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai to Montreal and Melbourne, and further developing his label, which released a string of underground 12”s in 2017 from the likes of Max Graef, Hanna, Molinaro and more.On ‘Bloodline’, Steven continues the soundtrack style mood of ‘Fallen’ – channeling ominous analog techno, drifting synth-house masterpieces, warm soul and hints of new age. Both the title and artwork is a nod to the influence of Julien’s family on his rich musical world and distinct nonconformist style, explaining how: “the influence my family has given me growing up and my ancestors from Africa to native Indians from the Caribbean, has all played a big part in the music I create.”Recorded in Apron Studios based in East London, each track on ‘Bloodline’ also features a tr808 or a piece of a 808, as a dedication to the iconic Japanese engineer Ikutaro Kakehashi, who passed away April 2017. The much-loved Roland founder and TR-808 creator revolutionised electronic music in the 1980s and 90s.

Breaker Breaker head honcho Haider steps out from behind the scenes with a 3 track EP encompassing his broad tastes in dance music. “Do What You Love…” is the first of two EP’s that will lead into his album due early 2019

Camelot Arcade is the new triple LP from Ceephax Acid Crew on WeMe Records. 13 tracks of Camelot goodness with all the feeling and melodies we've come to expect from Ceephax and his collection of classic electronic hardware. The tracks range from the easy listening sound of Phraxby to the baroque dancefloor pump of Camelot Escalator, to the trap-esque cyber feel of Yodecahedron and the Detroit moodiness of The Green Night. Creon Happy and Trusthouse Forte have an upbeat classical feel (backed up of course by Ceephax's favourite Roland drum machines.) While Path to the None and Shadowphax Part I&II are more dark in spirit. A lot of the tracks such as Life Started Tomorrow and The Great Greatsby were born randomly of quick jams with live keyboard playing and the album has an organic feel to it which a lot of the more formulaic electronic music lacks. All in all Camelot Arcade is a wonderful breath of fresh air and is sure to go down in history as one of Ceephax's best.

After a deceptively quite 2017, Especial picks up the pace pace by welcoming back the peroxide, youth filled Fairplay (re)version and a 2nd EP of old-skool-meets-the-new-school flavoured House and Breaks to lock, jock and spin. After the criminally overlooked 'How Do You Like Me Now?' EP - how is Classic Version not a...classic...version? - Junior gets back on the (lino) floor. The EP starts with a look north to the 'other city of 7 hills' that birthed a Warp'd British retake on House in his bleep-dub ode, End Of Love. The autobiographical title belies a forward approach with his trademark echobox kick'n'hats underpinning uplifting keys and nodding bleep finger solo. Who to join the party then, than another man of mystery, Roy Of The Ravers. After his debut EP on sister label Emotional Response became a most played from Aphex et al, it is only right bring him to E'Special. His brooding, hoover rush Remix 1 heightens the vibes with a heads down bleeping half-steppa. Righteous! The flip is given over to Junior's roots, bringing the hip-hopper back with the anthemic The Shazsquatch Goes Back Into The Woods. No shoc(k) horror here, just more upwardly mobile breakbeat meets UK techno licks. You can hear Fairplay at one with man and machine, pushing a sound that looks back but most definitely goes forward with 'Sunrise' on the mind. To close is the swagger of EP title cut, Faxes From The Future. Hair of the (black) dog fuses a swinging break with proto-dub-meets-Giallo stylings to rework the senses and say, now is (still) the time! A return to making the noise while keeping tongue planted firmly in cheek. What are u like? Top. Buzz.

After putting 1990s record label Emote to bed and a 17 year break from making music Mark Churcher has now knocked out 2 rasping acid house discs within a year on his new Chicago Bee record label. The first very well received EP “Who’s this guy ?” is followed up with the same A- Eno-Acid moniker.This 4 track EP is deeper, darker and even more drugged out. The tracks are slower and longer allowing the listener to be sonically submerged in the reverb swelled acid lines.

Monstrous repress action from Chicago's Dance Mania - The source of the ghetto house movement, the rawness!Club Style is the pseudonym used by 2 all-time Chicago legends, a truly all-star line up on this record, that's right, the pairing of Paul Johnson and Robert Armani. Say no more really. 'Crazy Wild' is a 4 tracker of infectious, grooved out, jacking and tough house jams, both producers fingerprints are all over this one. Narcotic, driving drum machines, phased out loops, armour piercing claps and basement trembling basslines are all over this EP, originally released in 1994. This one's a bit of a cult release from DM, collectors and freaks rating it highly. As usual it's a tough one to try and track down, changing hands for some hard earned cash too. This is the first time "Crazy Wild" has ever been reissued in full, just as it was originally released in 1994, complete with original Dance Mania label artwork. 100% legit, reissued in conjunction with Dance Mania records, Chicago IL and Parris Mitchell. Don't sleep.

Jamal Moss has cultivated an unmistakable sonic vocabulary. Genre signifiers are contorted into perplexing polyrhythms of perpetual dynamism and velocity. The chirps and squelches of acid heritage are subverted and lunged into new zones without sacrificing spirit. This is another essential statement from an impossibly unique and uncompromising talent.' Tadd Mullinix (JTC/Dabyre), November 2017 ... Jamal Moss's Acid Attacks tape on a 2LP with an exclusive vinyl only track.

Dexter drops a 3rd one for his straight up dance floor filler project DEK. 2 strong chicago/acid bangers + bonus version!!!

Both KiNK and Thomas P. Heckmann need no introduction. Bloody Mary has followed their music for many years and the Melting Point EP marks the coming together of Mary with two of her most respected acid producers, all on the one record.

GU aka GLENN UNDERGROUND is back in the laboratory with 808 SESSIONS. GU's 808 SESSIONS features "ACID JAZZ" which takes House to its rawest form with bubbling 303 acid lines, 808 beats and GU style jazz chords. The flip side takes you higher & higher with the "ACID DUBB".

Fourth part in the Mutant City Acid collection. A quartet of new takes on the sound of the TB303. Strictly limited to 303 copies. Hand numbered 12” vinyl in silver ink. No digital. No represses. All previous releases in the series have sold out swiftly. Serious slo-mo acid doom from Drvg Cvltvre and Han Do Jin (aka Warlock), while Nehuen provides a raw analogue workout, and Mark Broom completes the set with a peak time banger.

Jesse Pimenta is a Brazilian-born, LA-grown artist who has previously released on Nous Disques as well as on his own Private Selection imprint. Side A brings two slamming cuts fit for all-out dance floor annihilation whilst Side B delves into more psychotropic yet punkish zones.

Tin Man a.k.a. Johannes Auvinen is of Finnish descent, having lived all his life in Los Angeles. Tin Man says his tracks relate to the history and mood of acid house. Tin Man updates the sound of 80s Chicago acid sound to the 21st century. Maybe one can find in Tin Man's sound some comparisons to such as Laurent Garnier's and Ludovic Navarre's acid projects: Choice, Shazz, Deepside. Tin Man's "Keys of Life Acid" 12" (life12in-16) includes three tracks. 'Life Is Acid' is a late-night excursion where 303 lines slowly surface with a quiet insistence. 'Tip The Acid' offers a bubbling acid march with spiralling ornaments of sound layer upon layer. 'Drifters Acid' features a vertigo-inducing acid waltz, 303 spinning its stealthy web like an electromechanic spider, finally giving way to a sound of stylus stuck in the groove.

Legendary DJ/producer/promoter Woody McBride (aka Dj ESP, 4D, Pleasure, Earthworm, etc) has dedicated his life to bringing underground acid/techno to people of all walks of life since 1991. McBride released 100's of records on labels such as Plus 8, Magnetic North, Drop Bass Network, Analog, Missile, Synewave, Labworks, etc. All tracks recorded in Minneapolis USA, 1993-1994. "Pasture's Star Route" previously unreleased on vinyl!

Dodgy white label number 1 from your favourite grumpy old shit sticks is a couple of low rent, don’t do much ass shakers from the vaults. Give Me The was made in 2007 & let’s DJ’s get on with what they love doing ….. mixing the hell out repetitive records. Our Man Though may, or may not, be heavily sliced out of something else & rearranged into dancer paradise from the shards left over.

These four beautifully deep old school analogue tracks combine ultimate acid with melancholic sounds which, on any occasion, sum it up to an outstanding piece of art.

The third from Farbwechsel and the first one from Route 8 is back on vinyl. 'Mental Murder' EP is a lo-fi jack gem with four tracks from The Prince himself and a remix from the Houston-based house wizard Miguel Flaco. 'Mental Murder' is a fateful stab wound with a blunt, rusty knife straight to your brain, which causes a kind of lobotomy happiness.

Originally released in the golden year of 1987 the Chicago duo of Larry Thompson and Rick Lenoir (with a helpful production assist from the mighty Adonis and a dope remix from Steve ''Silk'' Hurley) crafted this anthemic slab of chunky, funked out jacking House. ''Can't stop the house'' is a straightforward, stripped back club track, no special FX - just straight up party music for sweaty dancefloors. This official 2016 reissue contains 4 mixes of this stone cold classic - The vocal mix, basement mix, house of trix mix and the rapid edit, all culled from the numerous pressings that came out in 1987 - 1989. In a sense, this is ''the complete'' collection of this cornerstone of Chicago House. The full set. All audio has been lifted from Rick Lenoir's private collection of reel to reel tapes from his basement and remastered accordingly. This reissue has been realised with the full involvement of Thompson & Lenoir and is 100% legit!

Mysterious acidic black label release on the Planet Rhythm imprint, coming from the hands of an unknown artist…

After releasing brand new material on DUM034, DUM Records are dipping into the label boss’s production archives for the next one: it is a reissue that features tracks from a number of classic Mono Junk releases. Two came on Trope Records, one in 1995 and one in 1993, and the last pair of cuts come from 1996 when they were released on Plug Research. Arguably some of the influential Finnish producer’s finest work, all of the tracks here emphasize how long he is operating on the top of his game already.First up is ‘A…’, a hard hitting techno cut with urgent drums and real menace in the groove. Widescreen synths add soul to the visceral feel of the track and then comes ‘Another Acid’, which for the first time is being released as a full length track at 6 minutes 26. It was from Mono Junk’s first ever Trope EP and is a no nonsense acid banger that kicks like a mule and is riddled with great effects, slithering lines and arresting drums. On the flip side are two tracks from his Mood EP from 1996 written as Kim Rapatti, both sounding as fresh as ever. The first is a blissful and beautifully tripped out deep, Detroit house track and the second is a melodically rich, colourful cut that journeys far off into the galaxy. It’s hard to think of these as twenty years old, because they still sounds as essential as they ever did. It’s not for nothing they’ve all been previously released as A-sides…

Iconic Deep House label Large Music returns to the vinyl market with a limited repress of the classic Kerri Chandler release Return 2 Acid. First pressed in 2005, this was the 100th release on Large and has been out of print for 10 years. The A side features Kerri's powerhouse tribute to the glorious days of Acid House laced with driving beats and an incessant 808 acid line. On the flip side Kerri goes old-school, this time with an electro Afrika Bambaataa influenced jam entitled Planet Sonic. Also included for this special reissue is the unreleased Acapella of Return 2 Acid solidifying this as a true collectors item.

Classic Paul Johnson tracks!

Michael "Adonis" Smith is a name that garners respect from fans of House and Techno across the world. Many of his productions are classics and "Freedom" by his short lived collaborative project The Children is one such record. A deep, otherworldly and almost sinister piece of Chicago House that features the conversational spoken word talents of Jamie Christopher who tells a mysterious robotic voice "Freedom... That's what life's about" over a driving, acidic backdrop of clicking drum machines and descending synthesizer pads. Originally released in 1987 "Freedom" boasts 4 different mixes, all retaining that slamming Adonis vibe and trademark sound.

Mr. Fingers classics from 1986. Re mastered versions from the "Traxbox" compilation. ESSENTIAL!

Back in! One of Larry Heards most under-rated albums finally remastered and available as full vinyl release for the first time! Known for his classic early house releases Larry Heard's productions always hinted at deepest outer space, but his 1996 Alien album was his first actual science-fiction record. It's almost as polished as the most mainstream dance production, but just as sublime as any Detroit producer. Heard's house roots often show themselves, while the chords and shimmering production make this an album almost on par with Heard's mid-'80s peak. The project was a recording & sound-development experiment that was mostly constructed around a Korg O1/W workstation keyboard that was left at Larry's studio to check out by Victor "melodious myles" Houston along with some of the staples of his studio, including the Roland d550 and Oberheim Matrix 1000. Mr Fingers magic touch can be heard all over the album, and this showcases the incredible musical talents o f the man, who's name by now cant be left out from any hall of fame when you're talking music innovators from the last century! Recommended!

Great acid and disco vibes on the mysterious Tusk Wax label from Steve Cook!

The best record of the last 10 years (according to Omar himself but he’s not too far off here) is back in stock. A hypnotic Detroit banger with a melody you will never get out of your head again.

After the label was put on hold for many years, there was no doubt, that Lory D was up to the task of reanimating the sleeping beauty of Seilscheibenpfeiler Schallplatten Berlin. The Italian techno producer deliveres a stunning EP for catalogue number SSPB001. With its driving acid sounds, sublimed by raw percussions and hypnotic rhythms, this EP definitely is one for the darker parts of the night. Last but not least it also features an edit of Berlin local Marcel Dettmann, a man that doesn’t need no further introduction. A Big Bang that makes sure that the next release won’t take another 24 years...!

What should have been a quick process has taken a bit longer than we hoped, but that's the way of handcrafted products, be they ginger beer or sourdough bread, and like the bread, the vinyl is currently cooling down to ensure an undisturbed, top quality product.NP004 contains two tracks, cunningly devised in Yorkshire, reflecting the area's no nonsense attitude and warmth. The final touches of mastering, have been added once again by the highly trained ears of Moog expert Dr Spaventi. This continues to give us a very important international dimension to what is still a local artisanal product.Specially formulated to make you dance and give you something a little extra, we've switched to stealth black paper sleeves for this release, and where cutting engineer failed with inscriptions, as can be their wont, we've lovingly re-designed the label to incorporate details of the free gift we're providing!

Super Rhythm Trax's sister label Bleeper welcomes on board the maverick genius that is Cursor Miner to provide their 2nd instalment. Whether releasing albums filled with epic and experimental song structures or playing Live sets of the dirtiest Techno and acid around, Cursor Miner is a man standing on his own, refusing to be pigeon holed or to pander to current vogues, opting instead flex his music muscles to reach areas seldom explored as can be heard on his many albums on labels such as Lo Recordings & Uncharted Audio. This Ep however is a joyous explosion of dancefloor energy.The track Vampire Acid is how you might imagine.. A soaring dripping wet acid beast with fangs that sink in deep ! It's been a mainstay of label boss Jerome Hill's DJ sets for the last 4 years and is finally going to be unleashed, complimented with 3 other Cursor bangers; the robo-chicken-esque 'Clockwork Banana', the full pelt assault of 'Thoom' and the crazed 303 rave of 'Owl Massage Acid'.

Re-issue of I-F's acid projects, 808 & 303's!

Sealed copy! Pretty relentless mid-nineties acid tracks by Jan Weitzdorfer and Sascha Fox.

One per cutomer please! Ltd edition vinyl pressing of energetic weirdo jams. Includes 5 color A4 insert on 160gm paper.. if you like this 6 track sampler, then check the full cassette! Tripped-out b-girls/boys, delight no doubt. Holds secret acid.. TIP

Acid hologram is a record that travels between past, present and future. It is a real mix of different stiles, this makes it difficult to define as a genre. Analogue incursions typical of acid and electro fuse with the melodic immediacy of trance, cohabit with cruel drum breaks and crazy IDM interventions, creating a scenario composed of different styles and nuances, bizarre as well as emotional, enveloped by an idea of euphoria typical of the underground music of the early 90s, that allowed us to rediscover a personal sound, without compromise. Produced between the end of 2013 and 2017, it was published as a limited edition and the first cassette release by WeMe Records, the idea of the format justifies the need to publish such a high number of tracks, on an alternative medium that is able to reflect the identity of an equally unconventional sound. The tracklist titles reveal visual suggestions that recall the years of the rave scene of the early 90s and the cyberpunk imaginary in which the author grew up

In the traditon of classic Chicago beat track records like Jesse Velez's "Super Rhythm Tracks" or Duane Thamm's D-Rail and R-Trax comes Delroy Edwards with a 14 song double lp of stripped down drum track madness. This is straight up Saturday night WBMX mixshow material. Sparse rhythms, fat fm basslines, catchy melodies and even some italo arpeggios are the order here, all 100 percent tailor made for the working DJ. Standing strong on their own or to be layered and slammed in and out the mix, these are true to form old school cuts falling in line with the great tradition of dance music's past which is all too often lost in the wind these days. Another classic from the this unstoppable LA producer.

Hieroglyphic Being alias Jamal Moss besuchte das Moog Sound Lab Ende 2016 und testete es mit seinen Prisma-Rhythmen und seinem SynthExpressionismusauf Herz und Nieren. Großartiger Afro-Futurismus für das 21. Jahrhundert. Beide Parteien drückten ihre Zufriedenheit mit demErgebnis aus. "I believe Bob Moog was (in the late 20th century) creating his modular system 55 synthesiser for artists yet to come... artists like JamalMoss" (Eldon Tyrell)

The Acid Series celebrates over 10 years of No Way Back, with music that directly references that experience. This is the third volume in the series, to be followed by BMG & Derek Plaslaiko, and there will be four more after this pair, with records by Tin Man & Ectomorph, Dona, Romans, and Pervocet (Patrick Russell & Jasen Loveland) yet to come. They all arrive in a unique sleeve especially created for this series, inspired by the decorations of NWB. Jordan Zawideh's music perfectly reflects his personal migration from Detroit to Chicago. It somehow combines the raw elegance of a Larry Heard demo (listen to the demos of "A Path" or "Acid Dreams" and cry) with Detroit Techno and an unconscious take on the sonic exploration of Drexciya, showcased in songs like "Magellanic Cloud" and "Trails of Sophia". In Jordan's sound, the raw power of the cassette era of Chicago House combines with a Detroit Acid Dream. His debut record was on K Starke Records in 2014, and while he was working at the store, the concept for "No One (Jacks The Box)" came together. Kevin Starke proposed a concept for a collaboration, using an old Chicago radio ad, so Jordan borrowed a 303 & 707 from Kevin and some gear from Beau Wanzer, but Kevin never made the session. Ultimately we had master editor Gay Marvine edit this instant lost classic. Jordan has also released on the Nation box set, and is part of the No Way Back family. Jordan lives like a monk, in total dedication to learning his machines and advancing his craft. He is also an accomplished DJ. BMG on his edit of "Magellanic Cloud" - this is my fantasy version of this jam, its so lost in it, like a cool mature Chicago take on Gerald's jam for the Silicon Ghetto series on Accelerate, or Mika Vainio's "Spirality".

The Acid Series celebrates over 10 years of No Way Back, with music that directly references that experience. This is the fourth volume in the series, to be paired withVol 3 by Jordan Zawideh. There will be four more after this pair, with records by Tin Man & Ectomorph, Dona, Romans, and Pervocet (Patrick Russell & Jasen Loveland) yet to come. They all arrive in a unique sleeve especially created for this series, inspired by the decorations of NWB. This is the 3rd collaboration between BMG & Derek Plaslaiko, each collaboration has been inspired by No Way Back. For this one, BMG was working on a modular based acid live show for the No Way Back 10th Anniversary, and from that vibe we created these songs. The A side references Sonic's Rendezvous Band's best lost single, they were a legendary Detroit Rock band from the mid 70s featuring founding members of the MC5 and The Stooges. The B Side was the opening salvo of this 3rd collaboration, a day after a Detroit party we had played together. We had just received the terrible news about so many of our friends in Oakland, we could think of nothing else. This is our sonic reaction. The B Side concludes with an open jam presented as a bonus beat, the perfect conclusion to these feelings.

The 105th record on MATHEMATICS, freeform electronic artist HIEROGLYPHIC BEING (JAMAL MOSS) offers a selection of audio memoirs (Cosmic Bebop & Experimental House). "THE LANGUAGE OF STRINGS" features sonic madness, frequency enlightenment, & Hedonistic modulation. This DLP is some of his best!

We wanted to start this new year the best way we can anddecided to welcome the italian stallion CHRISTIAN LISCO to our roster!Acid Cuts EP is a raw tour de force and fans of analog gear,distorted drums with acid bass-lines and soulful vocal samples will surely get their moneys worth! Remix support bythe mysterious High Density System offering a totally new atmosphere of "66" keeping that same raw feeling.

Part of the current crop of artists spearheading the UK acid revival, Posthuman's output has evolved over the years, encompassing many genres & styles from their early electronica releases, to their later acid & slow-mo techno.Their debut release in 2000 was a series of hand made CDs simply called "Posthuman" (though better known by the colour of the card inserts - grey, black, blue and brown). The duo then went on to host a number of parties in an abandoned underground train station in London between 2001 and 2004, and founded their own label Seed Records (2) with which they released 3 albums and several other releases of their own and other artists material. They also were the first act on Manchester based imprint Skam's SMAK sublabel.Doherty left Seed Records to help relaunch UK techno imprint B12 Records in 2006, and started a new label Balkan Vinyl in 2010.In 2007, Doherty founded London-based acid house retrospective clubnight "I Love Acid" where Posthuman are monthly resident DJs. In 2014 the clubnight launched a vinyl-only label of the same name. He also performs as AGT Rave Cru and as one half of Altern 8 live shows since 2015.

The next release on moreaboutmusic comes from one of Chicago house’s best kept secrets, often name checked by legends such as Mike Dunn, Marshall Jefferson, Glenn Underground and Tyree Cooper to name a few.A DJ and Producer, Hugo grew up during Chicago’s heyday, at one point living with Mike Dunn and Tyree Cooper, where they would spend their days producing and recording tracks on the 808, 303 and 909, along with any other equipment they could get their hands on.The ‘On to another time EP’ showcases Hugo’s talents, giving you two straight to the jugular acid tracks with ‘In, Out & In (Part 1)’ and ‘In, Out & In (Part 2)’ with the flip seeing the mood shifting slightly with the deeper vibe of ‘On to another time’, the EP finishes up with a cut up disco joint ‘The beat goes’ creating a solid ep and an excellent introduction to Hugo H.

D Cook, Diego Perrisson, Taelue, Chicagodeep. After Profound Synthesis, Fundamental Sounds return to the game with another special EP, Warrios of Xian.

&Co started out as a small group of friends who surfed and skateboarded together. As they hung out in Venice and shared their interests and ideas about music, sounds started to take shape. What started off with no intentions of being anything serious began to develop, inspiring music composer Alberto Bof, music advisor Paul T. and music coordinator Alex Olson to think about avenues of release.

Stallone The Reducer is back. Stallone takes you on a one way trip that will make your head rattle, clattle and clank. Indecipherable robot voices guide you, while the busted up drums and industrial strength synths push you back and forth. This one is for the brave. Lock in.

The next release on FCR comes from the duo Project 223, the brainchild of friends and music lovers Lee Grainge and Steve Bicknell. A true collaboration, the two-track 12” ‘On a Mountain’ displays the talents of both Grainge and Bicknell in equal measure without the ‘push and pull’ of their respective styles. Both tracks on the release are minimal and full of intricacies that teases the work Grainge has done in Film and the developed output of Steve Bicknell. Be Free opens with a few mystifying words from ‘Horizontal Charlie’ and launches into an acid groove that forms the tracks infrastructure. ‘Open your mind. Be free’, the now familiar pitched down drawl of ‘Horizontal Charlie’ rings out and the listener is launched back into the acid groove. A progressive approach to percussion keeps the listener on their toes whilst simultaneously getting lost in this primitive approach to acid. With the minimal brutality of the 909 snare and clap, Be Free becomes off-centred as if its losing its way, but it rewardingly comes right back to the middle with laser sharp definition and undeniable confidence. Tell Me takes On a Mountain into darker territories with its falling acid bassline and clattering hi-hats. Similar BPM’s and approach to sound-design delivers a coherence between the two tracks that presents the clear vision and focus of Project 223. ‘Tell Me’ feels mutated and warped as if you can hear the studio-session in which these two tracks were conceived becoming increasingly intense. Midway through the track, cinematic atmospherics and call and response vocal introduce a feeling of driving desperation that doesn’t leave the listener until the end of the track.Emotionally, On a Mountain does a great deal with its minimal and defined aesthetic which is hard to achieve with electronic music. Shrouded in an alluring sense of mystery, Project 223 tease the darkness behind their creation, leaving more questions than answers.

Being closely connected to the label, it was only a matter of time before Daniele Cosmo was released on Pinkman. At long last, he makes his debut appearance with co-conspirator CCO as Savage Grounds. What they came up with is a tight two tracker presenting full speed, minimalistic punk electro workouts. Both tracks, while boasting with furiosity and dread, as is often the case in the Broken Dreams releases, carry an infectious groove that is guaranteed to get bodies moving in the highest gear and right into the abyss. Pressed on a single 7" this concise release is far from falling short in completeness, expertise and potential to break dreams.

7th Sign warmly welcomes Marcellus Pittman to the label. With a distinctive sound that pulls together soul and electronic texture into a form without compare, Marcellus already boasts a formidable track record. He is a member of the seminal 3 Chairs alongside Kenny Dixon Jr., Rick Wilhite and Theo Parrish. As if this weren't enough, his remarkable releases on Sound Signature, Track Mode, FXHE, Fit and his own Unirhythm imprint have further cemented his position as the hottest modern producer around today. Here we have three glorious tracks that show different sides to his character but all sharing a common purpose - to move bodies and minds.

Chicago godfather Mike Dunn presents a new album that’s fuelled by a pumping heart of pure house and a body of powerful analogue muscle. ‘My House From All Angles’ is a record destined to fully reinstate this already respected figure at the upper echelon. Despite releasing countless classics like ‘Face The Nation’, ‘God Made Me Phunky’, ‘Let It Be House’ and ‘Personal Problem’, plus plenty more underground gems under pseudonyms like QX-1, The Jass Man, The Phunky People and The MD Connection - this is Mike's first longplayer since 1990. The album title represents the different styles of Mike’s large and long-standing catalogue that’s beloved of both diggers and DJs alike. A master of deep stroboscopic acid, booty jackers, hip house and groovy US house/garage - all are represented within.
