Perseus Traxx – 716 Exclusive Mix
Mike Simonetti – Release Your Body To The Best [2MR014]
Two deep minimal acid tweakers with guest vocals by Santana from the French group Claap. There’s also a Claap! remix thrown on for good measure, and they take the song in a totally different direction.
Cardopusher – ILA009 [ILA009 ]
I Love Acid reaches number nine, with Barcelona native Cardopusher at the helm. Four dirty acid jams aimed straight at the floor.
Mono Junk / Kim Rapatti – A-Sides [DUM035]
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.
DJ Krime – Drm Box [DIZZY009]
Dizzy Tunes’ DJ Krime jets out with yet another well produced, most distinguished pinpoint production – sounding both classic and modern at the same time, this acid house & ghetto acid music sums it all up to please your needs!
VA – Mutant City Acid 3 [BV019]
Third part in the Mutant City Acid Series. Four new takes on the sound of the TB303 by Cardopusher, Perseus Traxx, Posthuman and Paul Mac.
Andreas Gehm – ILA 008 [ILA008]
I LOVE ACID reaches number eight here with in-demand German producer Andreas Gehm at the helm. Four tracks of proper analogue acid gear, bassline music for dancefloors. This is buy-on-sight material, with all previous I LOVE ACID releases selling out in just days.

Elektrobopacek – Untitled [HOTJAM005]
More rough analogue business from Switzerland, this time coming from Hot Jam with a 6 tracks EP signed by Elektrobopacek.
Random XS – The Return [SHIP032]
Here’s something of a surprise treat for techno fans: a first 12″ in 20 years from legendary Dutch acid techno combo Random XS. The two tracks featured were originally recorded, but never released, in the ’90s, and have been brought back to life by Random XS in collaboration with other producers. “Errant”, which was co-produced by fellow Djax-Up Beats graduate Binaural, is a spacey affair, with undulating acid lines working in tandem with woozy chords, bubbling electronic melodies and clattering analogue percussion. Lost Trax lends a hand on flipside cut “Truant”, which explores deeper techno territory via relentless rhythms, percussive builds, darkly ambient chords and deep space electronics.
Jared Wilson – Idea Of A Deep State EP [SRTX010]
Super Rhythm Trax serves up a trio of 1990 style, rave-era British acid house/techno tributes from Jared Wilson. The three tracks could be considered riffs on a theme, as each – in different ways – reminded us of Orbital’s early work. Choose between the bold acid lines and jack-track beats of “How Deep”, the acid melodies and “Belfast” style chords of “Plate Mining”, and the pleasingly alien acid-funk of “Idea of A Deep State”.
Fred P – Rawax Aira Series Vol.3 [AIRA003]
Fred P aka Black Jazz Consortium’s musical set phrase isn’t following new trends. Fred is often simply melting shuffling percussions with elementary melodies. but he does it in a sense that the heavy used and abused phrase ”deepness” finally gets a fresh truthfully new meaning.
Laurent X – Machines [TX163]
Made by Mark Imperial & Vinnie Devine as Laurent X, ‘Machines’ was conceived in a 16 track studio with an unquestionable Roland TB-303, but also a TR-808, TR-909, a Juno 106, some FX and a bucket of rib tips. According to Mark Imperial, he and his friends (specially Vinnie Devine) had a mad fun playing with gear.
Sebastian Swarm / Lost SoundBytes – From Sci-Fi to Lo-Fi [LOD006]
Land Of Dance presents a journey inside analog machines and science fiction movies. Two producers from different countries had split the release with their sounds and their musical attitudes. Lost SoundBytes is a Brussels Based young producer that develops an haptic music, diving sometimes into cryptic and anxious foggy areas through analog materials experimentations, as drum machines & synthetisers like Poly 61, AcidLab Bassline 3 , Wardolf Blofeld. Sebastian Swarm comes from Glasgow his three tracks are full lo-fi acid music, imprinted by a cosmic sight and chicago house’ quotes.

DJ Overdose – Housejam Freaker [UTTU052]
DJ Overdose heads over to Unknown To The Unknown for a spot of techno-jackin’. Thrillingly, “Housejam Freaker” combines fizzing, upbeat machine drum rhythms, deep space chords and wild, sped-up Motor City electronics to create something that sounds like the bastard offspring of Jeff Mills, Drexciya and Phuture. Willie Burns provides the obligatory remix, offering something that retains the original’s energy whilst increasing the beauty factor tenfold. Elsewhere, he wanders into deep acid territory on the straight-up jacker “Dikzak”, and delivers a surprisingly funky dose of intergalactic electro on the cheery “Vinca”. A string of handy locked grooves complete a tasty package.
