Achterbahn D’Amour is delivering the latest 12 inch in the Acid Test series from L.A.’s Absurd Recordings. “Cardbox” is a laid back, stripped down and tripped out groove with a spacey dubbed out remix from Chicago’s Innespace Halflife on the B-side along with the bonus cut “Harmonia”.

Sonar Kolectiv present a collection of remixes by Fred Everything for Jazzanova’s “I Human Here”.
Proper box-bangers and sci-fi house from Steven Tang aka Obsolete Music Technology, backed with a cracking Specter remix. Steven recreates a track he imagines he heard at the Since The Accident party, in the 80s. 303 bass over 707 drums. Also includes a bonus beat & Specter remix of STA, plus added track “Descending”.
Dope new 12″ from Funkinevil produced with Kyle Hall. The two tracks on it make for a stylistic about-turn from the TV theme funk of the last Apron release Chips & Sweets, “Dracula” is the kind of stuttering 303 acid jam FunkinEven is an expert of, reminiscent of the brilliant “Roland’s Jam”, while “Cha!” is a loose-limbed slice of proto-techno which goes heavy on the unfiltered analogue bass, driven forward with lolloping drum machine beats.
The third release on J.A.M. Traxx, a 5 track 12″ on the neo-Chicago tip, comes with contributions by the likes of Jack Curtu, Elec Pt. 1, Punknown, Perseus Traxx and Lost in the Sound.
MOS Deep returns with a new EP from Italians Ksoul & Muteoscillator. ‘Criminology’ comes in two parts on the a-side: the first is a fizzing, almost impenetrable network of analogue lines with acid buried deep below sharp percussion and behind a mysterious little melody phrase, whilst the second features a different sort of acid: it’s brighter and seems to twist and turn with a life of its own. The b-side is ‘Aphrology’ as edited by Aroy himself. The underlying vibe here is house, though a squealing world of ticking machines, squirming synths and jangling percussive rhythms make it a heady and intense listen. Finally, the same track appears in its original form where tumbling drums, bleeding acid and a steppers rhythm join the dots between many different worlds: the heady results are sure to make dancefloors go cerrrrazy.
A raw, unrehearsed and uncompromising jam captured on tape and released unedited to maintain the unfettered energy. Clocking in at just shy of fifteen minutes, this full assault of sound aimed squarely at the dancefloor, was directly inspired by a visit to perform at the club of the same name in Zagreb, Croatia.
Next amazing Snuff Trax bu Perseus Traxx and a remix by Snuffo & Alienata. Mixup between finest Chicago and Detroit back in the day sound. Trax with the taste of good old times. The past is now, the present is now, the future is now.
Lux Rec reaches number 10 in their catalogue, and for this occasion they come out with a special release. In January 2012 CCO played a stunning and completely live & analog set at Zukunft, one of the best clubs in Zurich. Lux Rec asked him to reenact the set and record it once again, live. The result is a 1 hour long electronic music suite, filled with 808 and 707 beats, 303 acid lines and spatial sounds. They decided to press 2 excerpts, Pt. 1 is 12 minutes long while Pt. 2 is 25 minutes long, and release them on vinyl as Music For Cosmonauts. It was magic to see CCO at work, as no computer was used in the process every pattern specs had to be written down on paper, and machines programmed on the run.Music for Cosmonauts is music to look at the world from outer space.
808, 303, 707 & Paris Brightledge on vox, uncompromising acidic bass music. B-side is taken from Paranoid London’s first live set at Warehouse Project, Manchester 2008. Totally improvised, totally live, by the seat of our pants. Acid house with one of the true House greats on vocals.

Snuff Trax 007 brings four special trips. Created by two great artists from England and Germany. Jackee is a project of Paul Mitchell, who you also might know as Meschi. For his debut on Snuff Trax he drops two hot acid cuts. ‘A Tribute’ is an anthem with its huge acidline and its incredible melody. ‘Seeking Space’ makes you fly endlessly through the cosmos, an emotional and deep piece of music, created for the very special moments. The second artist on the release is Elec Pt.1 aka Andreas Gehm, with two new mesmerizing tracks that do not need a 303 to work like acid. ‘Galactic Journey’ and ‘Jack Xpress’ will fascinate you with their magic melodies and grooves.
