Richi Ratchet – The First Episode! [AAACID003]
AAACID003 is the second EP from Amir Alexander’s Richi Ratchet Moniker. The major difference in the work of Richie and his twin Brother Jack Ingoff is the clever use of vocals. Singlehandedly writing new chapter in the Acid House Manual with off kilter polyrhythms, odd time signatures, and unconventional tongue and cheek topics, Amir through his AAACID label continues to go from strength to strength as he seeks to refine and progress the artform of Acid Jack.

Third Side – Pandora EP [RST020]
The return of the Third Side trio to Berlin’s foundational Restoration imprint. The Analogue Cops, Lucretio and Marieu, are back on their old moniker with Panorama Bar resident Steffi, with their loose, dusty house-techno hybrids after over a year of hiatus. “Bearing All Gifts” opens the EP with a penetrating techno pulse surrounded by the group’s familiar bundle of circling industrial electronics; the B-side goes more hypnotic thanks to the excellent groove of “Opening The Jar”, and “Elpis” makes for a fine closing tune thanks to its subtle swirls of 303, mid-tempo kicks and intricate bundles of hardware noise.
Gene Hunt – Living In A Land [HT1015]
Fresh from 1989… 3 classic Chicago acid tracks from the man Gene Hunt. Re-mastered and re-pressed for 2015 in conjunction with Trax Records.
CCO – Space Race EP [ENDILL005]
Contra Communem Opinionem shortly CCO, own name Florin Büchel is the pure acid lover from Zürich.

The “Space Race” in ranging from melodic electro through overdrive madness to drone beats. It comes with remix from man behind Endless Illusion, Layup.
D’Marc Cantu – That Love You Feel [THEMA043]
Thema turns to a modern master of the JakBeat, D’Marc Cantu. Hailing from Ann Arbor on the fringes of Detroit, Cantu has worked for more than a decade developing a sound that carries the torch from the box jam originators of techno and house music. Given his adventurous tendencies and punchy Midwestern finish, Cantu is a perfect fit on Thema and the six tracks that make up this record show a great deal of the diversity the man is capable of, from dancefloor burners to atmospheric introspection.
Dona – In My Bed EP [POINTS005]
The fifth release on Points Records with three originals by Dona and an Eduardo de la Calle remix.
Global Goon – ILA006 [ILA006]
Number six in the I Love Acid series. Rephlex legend Global Goon features with four wonky takes on acid. A-sides ‘Caramel Door’ & ‘The Botanist’ jitter in and out of slo-mo techno & electronica. On the flip, ‘Black Wheat’ ups the tempo with a bit of disco playfulness, while closer ‘Creamy Noogies’ gets its rave on with samples of Snap’s ‘The Power’ against a rampant 303 bassline.
Traxx – Dekmantel Podcast 034
Andreas Gehm – Cologne Ranger EP [SRTX007]

Savage Hymn – Indecision [RONG037]
NYC’s ever-reliable party institution Rong Music train their sights on the mainroom with this white label promo from Savage Hymn, the new collaboration between Chicago veteran Mystic Bill and NY stalwart Jake Reif. Pumelling out the speakers on an undulate 303 bassline and a stampede of hard hitting percussion, “Indecision” soon establishes itself as the finest acid house record since Paranoid London’s “Paris Dubs 1”. The combination of detached spoken vocals, eerie synth lines and touches of almost post punk attitude supply an extra layer of snarl which pushes this above the other acid tracks floating around today. On the flip, Blakkat and DJ Spun revive their Black Spun moniker to drive “Indecision” even deeper and darker into the post peak thunderstorm of blazing strobes.
Perseus Traxx – ILA007 [ILA007]
Seventh release in the I Love Acid series. Perseus Traxx in action with some lush acid techno – melodies submerged in deep reverb amongst clattering drum machines and 303 snarls. All original analogue kit, all the real deal.
Light Sounds Dark – DSL002 [DSL002]
Light Sounds Dark travels through space enclosed within a case of its own building, surrounded by a mass of the forms created by our habitual thoughts. Through this medium we look out upon the world and naturally see everything tinged with its predominant colors, and all rates of vibration which reach us from without are more or less modified by its rate.” This is what is meant when they say that another person’s vibes are “on my wavelength…”

Etcher – Corrosive Days [PAMLTD012]
Pastamusik present Corrosive Days a Acid-Bass 4-Tracker by Etcher. The title track Corrosive Days deals with the consistent depletion of time at every single day. No matter what happens, at the end the time is irrecoverable gone und the process start all over again. In Wormway we dive underneath the earth, into the myriads of tunnels created by our little flat mates during their ever- lasting travels through the ground. On the B-Side we first get electronically sedated Sedition and then converted into steam Vapor People to finally float away like little clouds. With Corrosive Days, Etcher submitted a terrific homogeneous and timeless interpretation of classic Roland-Productions and successfully avoids to sound frumpy or worn-out.
HNS-X – Towel Dance Department [HNS-X-2]
Notorious HNS-X strikes back with two bangers. If you like good, plain club food without added fancy go for it. If you like it basic, juicy and straight to ze point go for it. You like basslines with a ravey touch? Go for it. You know what: go for it anyways.
