Fifth in the Mutant City Acid series. Four more takes on acid from different angles. Cardopusher opens proceedings with machine-driven EBM acid, then Steven Simpson channels analogue classic Chicago house styles. On the flipside, Matt Whitehead brings the 90’s UK rave energy, while Jozef K closes the EP with deep, lush, melodic acid.
