Hardfloor took acid into a new more techno/trancy direction. They made acid as though they heard it in the womb as a fetus. They made acid as though they were born to make acid.' (DJ Pierre)

80s influenced Acid completion with 4 diverse approaches to the jacking genre. Featuring A-Eno-Acid, Postelektrik, Type-303 and the Gasman.

Luca Lozano and Telephones collaborate on a new concept record for Klasse Wrecks, the concept it simple...1 Record, 2 Artists, 4 Trax! Turning in an original track each the two producers then remix each other resulting in a record that glistens with housey goodness, jazzy hats and snazzy stabs.

In 1996, Gavin and Scott Hardkiss entered the San Francisco Tenderloin studio frequented by the Grateful Dead and Fleetwood Mac and made Acid Funk and various remixes. It's a funny song that references Frankie Bones' This Is Techno and Maurices' This Is Acid and says a lot about a couple of guys drunk on funk who wanted to flip their own sounds. Raw house featuring 808s, 303s and Space Echo churned easy in a whimsical psychedelic cauldron.

Unavailable for 20 years, these remaining copies of the original pressing feature various versions by bothe Hardkiss brothers and an acapella.

Inside Out is a brand new series that invites DJs and producers to blur the boundaries between traditional artist albums and mix compilations. Coming from Aus Music label head and DJ-Kicks curator Will Saul, the concept encourages artists to showcase their own music and or the music of those in their own individual circles. The mix will be release digitally and on CD, while a selection of the tracks will also be available on double gatefold vinyl. Each instalment will feature 100% new and unreleased music. It is a chance for artists to take sole creative charge, A&R as they see fit and then commission brand new music specifically for the cause. Depending on who is at the helm, Inside Out will take different forms: producers may wish to represent their own sound with only music they have made themselves or with close collaborators, while DJs and label heads may wish to reflect the sounds and scenes that surround them. The results will be a window into an artist's world that works as a coherent mix, but also as a treasure trove of fresh new music that steps outside the usual lines of a dance album. The idea stems from Will Saul's own approach in the club, which often finds him seeking out brand new and unheard music to play for the first time. That feeling of taking people into the unknown is one that reminds him of the energy and excitement of his early days as a dancer.

Continuing on from the success of DFR001and their cutting edge acid house nights the Downfall crew smack you right between the eyes once again with another raw, Jackin' red hot release. The Hydrochloric Substance EP. It's not surprising as all of them are veterans of the 1980's London acid house scene and quite frankly nobody knows it better. The......EP hits you right between the eyes and carries on straight from the last release, this time also incorporating the likes of Type 303 and Nuff Trip along with ConSequence and The Auditor.

4-tracker of alien machine funk from the mind of Mesak.

3rd volume of our series "Moog Your Body". And back with the same formula, 4 artists that have passed through the legendary club barcelona. The album kicks off with "Mind Over Matter" from Abandoned Footwear, American Exillon project that delights us with a theme IDM cosmic touches that will make you dance endlessly acid. Then "Tempest 303" one lysergic Lash Roy Of The Ravers attacking with all his cacharreria to offer his sound classic acid. On the flip side, we have the theme "Trapped In A Fit Of Malaria" of Drvg Cvltvre a slow-cooked dark and hypnotic acid pump. And finally, the issue of Snuffo "It's Killing Me" dismisses the disc with a dance track narcotic halfway between the acid house and the new beat.

Audiotrophe Ernaehrung kicks of his vinyl debut on Wout Records with a massive 4 tracker EP.
"Greifswalder", "Structure" and "Defects" are full of dubby basslines, melodic synth abstractions, rotating percussions, vocal snippets and endlessly moving sound effects, a clear musical reflection of Berlin's electronic music scene and a demonstration of AE's ability to present diversity.
This EP ends up with a raw, straight forward and deeply driven remix of "Greifswalder" produced by the Italian collaboration Mood_Out and Dinkis.

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

Dripping Acid is a series of separate 12"s exploring themes of melodic liquid acid. Part 1 of 6 limited releases by the Tin Man!! -- For Tin Man, acid endures. Like the lapping of a sizzling ocean on the shores of a distant planet, the peaks and troughs of expansive 303 basslines have been a constant in the music of the producer born Johannes Auvinen. He dedicated his mid-2000s early period to the sound, and even as his productions have expanded in scope and style - from the vocaltinged techno of Cool Wave, Wasteland and Perfume, to the intricate, classical-leaning compositions of Vienna Blue - he has returned often to Roland's indelible bass synthesizer. His plaintive, searing melodies have anchored Absurd Recordings' venerable Acid Test series since its first release, and they've punched through the mix in the club music of recent collaborations with Gunnar Haslam (Romans), with Cassegrain, and also with John Tejada. So it wouldn't be accurate to call Tin Man's latest project, Dripping Acid, a rededication. Yet his most ambitious project to date - six 12"s comprised only of new acid compositions - embraces the style as wholeheartedly as he ever has. While the brittle machine-music of '80s Chicago is the blueprint of any acid track, Dripping Acid refrains from revivalism, instead looking forward and inward as it harnesses the 303's psychedelic potential through sumptuous production and adventurous composition. Though it's focused on a single style, Dripping Acid is tremendously diverse, expanding upon the evocative physicality of its track titles ("Evaporated Acid," "Drenched Acid," "Oozing Acid") to rend dancefloors of all shapes and sizes. Tin Man's acid can be exuberant and coy, bleak and technicolor, maximalist and impressionistic, even completely unrecognizable as acid - but as Auvinen stretches the sound to the point of snapping, he shows there's still bend in a decades-old template, and plenty more alien waves to ride.

Timothy J Fairplay With The First Release On Nyc Label Body Works. 4 Tracks Of Electro Madness With Influences Ranging From New Wave, Italo, Gigolo/ebm, Chicago (acid House & Early Industrial) & 1890's Haunted Brothel Vibes.

The first full artist EP of 2018 is one by a new artist for Heist, but a familiar name for any modern day house aficionado: Adryiano. After taking 2016 off, he came back guns blazing in 2017, releasing 5 solo ep's in 1 year on labels like Shall not Fade and Baka Gaijin. His Me and you and her' ep for Heist showcases his contemporary view on classic house and acid, and is an experiment into how much distortion a track can actually handle when you've got a killer sample hook. Me and you and her' is about as classic as a house track can be and moves in similar fashion as his post-2013 hit 'On my side'. It's got a sweet and repetitive vocal loop, some semi-grainy but definitely groovy percussion and a deceptively simple piano hook. Add some filtering and you've got a lovely warm house song that can go on forever. The A2 Move it, move it' moves straight into old-school Chicago territory, with a raw AF acid bassline. Chicago bred Jamie 3:26, now residing in it's Dutch counterpart Rotterdam, gives the track a nice old school twist. He's going full 707 on the percussion and has casually added an amazing synth hook to give the remix a true vibe of it's own. The ep closes off with Fashion country girl": Adryiano's dystopian view of a world where Dolly Parton gets mangled through an overdrive, then gets distorted, crushed, mangled, deleted, re-added in 8 bit and then crushed some more. The result is an uptempo roller with more than enough grit, and just enough tongue-in-cheek to make everyone smile a little bit more. Yours Sincerely, Maarten & Lars.

Steve Bug and Cle go way back. As friends, DJ colleagues, co-producers and label mates the pair have enjoyed a close bond for nearly twenty years. Their Rejected debut sees them stepping back into the studio once again to create a brand new brace of acid-tinged club cuts that whilst looking to past, are focused firmly on the future.


Both 'Together' and 'That's Right' are a celebration of the pair's musical partnership, with roots planted way back in the early nineties, when the ecstasy fuelled dance floor hysteria would be stoked by hypnotic, minimal arrangements that worked subtle variations of loops and FX for maximum roof-raising effect. Abrupt frequencies, massive breaks and big bass drops may be the fashion of today, but back in those heady, electric and exciting times it was the gentle growth and delicate expansion of a track that really brought the goose bumps.

Steve & Cle have sought to deliver these same sensations here with an excitement that steadily grows over the duration of the tracks through expert filter fiddling and unpredictable changes in structure.

After two years An-2 is breaking the silence with his new EP demonstrating a fully refreshed sonic palette he's been in the search of. Built over a quirky synth bass line, 'Beside me' is filled with all the right melodic elements that walk a thin line between sounding baroque yet minimalistic at the same time.

In its five years DGTL has carved its style and sound worldwide as one of Amsterdam's staple dance music institutions. This year the organisation is deepening its focus and vision. Therefore DGTL is launching its own imprint DGTL Records.
The label builds on the festival's musical theme of an evocative cross section of the sounds and styles; showcasing forward thinking, cutting edge artists.

The one to kick off the new imprint will be the Bulgarian hardware wizard KiNK. Best known for his live performances, teemed with explosive energy, which for a consecutive year puts him to the #1 spot of live acts on RA Poll, he is also one of house's most in demand producers. KiNK has worked with DGTL for quite some time, including last year's audiovisual installation 'Transmission Tower', where the first track 'Neutrino' was born.

The melodic 'Neutrino', kicks off with syncopating bassline. Its interconnecting layers organically jump over and under each other, reflecting the organic character of KiNK's live performances, where every knob touch and turn matters. On the latter, he built the B-sider 'Dynamo': "I loaded my favourite element from Neutrino in my computer and I tweaked the sound through various weird devices in my studio, till it sounded like a completely new track." As usual, he added a few endless loops on the record, "for the adventurous DJs", exclusively for the 12''.
The idea for the DGTL Records artwork is to feature a different visual/graphic artist from the DGTL ART program every year; starting with the cover from Tim Buiting and his graphical visual of the Liege train station, designed by Calatrava for this year's releases.

Four tracks to jack to, from label bosses Posthuman. 'Wake Up' and 'Jet Set' on a stripped house tip, 'Usurpate Acid' bringing the 303 trap action slow and heavy.

the original version comes along in a detroitish influenced & postmodern shape of proper house music.
And as if the Original track wouldn't already be enough, our 6th release furthermore delivers an outstanding & epic kind of a Remix by no other than "Mr. DiscoRoute" himself - so please fasten your electronic-seatbelts for LEGOWELT's emotional interpretation of "Devil may care"! You will get the full amount of what you expect - gnarly modern, yet old-schoolish'esque acid house fueled electrotechno at its best early support from Nick Curly, Sis, Mihalis Safras, Claude VonStroke, Richie Hawtin, Osunlade, M.A.N.D.Y., Andre Kronert, Ivan Smagghe, Meat, Matt Star, Motorcitysoul, Mirco Violi, Franklin De Costa, Giovanni Damico, Franksen, Metrica

After a series of cult hits with "Lower State of Consciousness", "The Worm", "ZZafrika", and "Vulkan Alarm!", ZZT continue their reign of underground club domination with their most overt anthem yet.
