DJ Hell – Neoclash LP [GIGOLO367]

‘Neoclash’ is DJ Hell’s new work. The Electroclash of the early 2000s is reconstructed here, its characteristic codes extracted and reshaped into a modern, reflective form. Neoclash is a cultural experiment – music as a medium of reflection, a structure for space and time, and a vehicle for exploring the tensions between technology, the body, and perception. Electroclash now – or a manifesto for the aesthetic relevance of electronic club music, combining strong old-school references with a new understanding. DJ Hell, a.k.a. Helmut Josef Geier, delivers a contemporary reinterpretation of the Electroclash genre. International Deejay Gigolo Records was the pulse of the movement 25 years ago – and Hell, its very namesake. Godfather of Electroclash reloaded. 25 years and many milestones later, DJ Hell returns to his roots with Neoclash, proving that Electroclash in 2025 can sound not nostalgic, but forward-thinking and visionary. Neoclash builds a bridge between past and present within electronic dance culture and club music.

VA – Acid Sampler Part Two [RBACIDEP2]

December 2, 2025December 2, 2025 hipodromeacid house, deetron, mathew jonson, running back, stefan braatz, steve bug, the mole, todd osbornLeave a comment

The saga of squelch continues. After the first round proved that the acid line might be the most durable cliché in dance music (and still the best one), part two turns the resonance knob a little further. Steve Bug & Stefan Braatz, Deetron, Todd Osborn, and Mathew Jonson with The Mole join forces for another ode to the silver box – less museum piece, more perpetual motion machine. Proof that you can’t retire a sound that never had a desk job.

Factory Preset – Swingchronize Me: Selected Tracks [TET006S]

November 19, 2025November 18, 2025 hipodromeacid house, factory preset, turnend tapesLeave a comment

Australian artist Factory Preset dropped a killer album, Swingchronize Me, back in 2022 and it was an ode to the DIY acid wave scene of 90s Sydney DIY made using a ‘swingchronizer,’ aka a homemade box that ”bypassed the temporal rigidity of other units allowing the freedom to create consistent swing effects.” Now, four of the cuts get reworked into deep, groove-driven and masterfully well swung sounds that are fluid, loopy and could unfold endlessly without ever growing stale. Some are slow and predatory, others are more light and colourful, all of them perfect for dropping into long-form sets where both body and mind get locked in.

Andy Ash – Silent Planet EP [QUINTESSE97]

Andy Ash is a long time contributor to the sound of Quintessentials. The Liverpudlian shows superb diversity on his new EP called „Silent Planet“. The opener, „Patch 2“ is a stripped down masterpiece of Dub Techno and a perfect club tool. „Hross“ can be called Acid House, and you know we love that. The B-side shows more of a relaxed vibe with the beautiful string-laded „Franco alley“ and the smooth low BPM track „Yellow“. This silent planet has something to say and shows great variety of styles and Andy’s skills as a producer.

PLONC Hits! 001 peaks like the Fichtelberg in the Harz mountains in Germany. A1 is every smiley face’s fantasy, bass-loaded acid with a majestic bump, followed by the most classic Chicago old-skool. B-side takes a quick detour into the ‘90s with the first track, only to return to a laid back acid groove that ultimately kicks you into low earth orbit.

June 9, 2025September 29, 2025 hipodromeacid house, chicago, deep cuts, disco, edits, house, ron hardyLeave a comment

Original Chicago house music hero Ron Hardy used to make and break tracks with ease. Decades on, we’re still getting treated to them with this ongoing series and the latest opens up with a familiar sound. ‘Love’ is fairly stripped of its original vocals and is a casuistic, textured and intense electronic disco cut for peak times. ‘The Night’ slows down with some freaky vocals and heavy dub disco drums then ‘1-5-1’ brings some jacked up acid house with monstrous 303 lines ripping up the groove and ice cold hi-hats keeping time. ‘The Bass’ is a raw drum track with moody Windy City vocals and dark energy.

NYC’s underground producer Sweater On Polo back on the machines for the first release on Signal Route. “Mechanical Confusion” favors the techno and basement house approach of early 90’s Chicago innovators found on labels such as Dance Mania, Relief Records, and Saber Records. His style and approach carry a familiar old school angst, creating an intergenerational dialogue between the now and then. Going from acid house, to techno, and then synth punk, this 6 track EP captures the relentless range of the young artist.

BufoBufo – Watercourse [CABARET037]

April 15, 2025June 6, 2025 hipodromeacid house, bufobufo, cabaret recordings, electro, houseLeave a comment

Analogue pressure from BufoBufo in the new Cabaret Recordings release. His second single for the Japan label, founded by So Inagawa and DJ Masda, proffers a hypnotic blend, binarising the mood with the sliding melodes of ‘Watercourse’ and ‘Armour Plated’ with comparatively sparse and gritty perc-slaps of ‘Wood Ant’ and ‘Cinnabar’. That strange but difficult-to-nail split between of hypnotic intrigue and immediacy is well and truly nailed.
