The Abstract Acid series continues its exploration into the depths of acid with a relentless 303 assault from UK-based machine operator, Mantra – four rugged tracks of distorted, crackling beats and low slung bass lines that are just crying out to be ripped through the speakers of a dark, filthy warehouse.
From North Yorkshire, England, more classic ’88 UK dark acid house from Mantra, a full-length lp on white vinyl.
Nite Vision is a project from Nigel Rogers aka Perseus Traxx and Mantra that moves around early US midwestern’s house music sounds with a dim twist – which results in analog drum machine patterns melting over moody floaty pads and obscure synth leads. Rogers returs to Ben Boe’s label with a solid 9-track LP named ‘The Time Is Now’.
Surprise release by a mysterious UK producer. Sweet and dripping wet Chicago House beats that are as timeless as they are fitting with current trends.
