Benny Rodrigues – I Like Acid [BAO029]

Rotterdam’s Benny Rodrigues’ interpretation of acid house takes the form of ”I Like Acid”, and surely it sounds classic! Acid synth madness like in the old days but with an updated touch. ”Choice” hypnotic appeal will not get unnoticed on the floor, once again a track that finds its strength in the basic structure of its arrangement, effective drums patterns with a ”freakish” top line that carry the track into peak time. Steve Rachmad as ”Sterac” and Mike Dehnert are providing the remixes for ”I Like Acid”, to close the EP.

Marco Zenker has his second record on Ilian Tape. “Invisible Shadows” its building up slowly and leads into a very open space – the perfect track to give the night another direction. “Remain Silent” goes down, you almost can call that cut a meditation hymne. Finally we have a tripping remix from Conforce. Its just free spirited, soulful and open minded.

Sankt Goran – Slobban [GORAN001]

https://i0.wp.com/images.junostatic.com/300/CS420051-01A-MED.jpg

Sankt Goran presents a old Swedish release that has been released as promo only in 1999. Its a release called Slobban by a late 90’s trio of Jens Johansson, Peter Gustafsson and Carl Magnus Ernström from Falun in the woods of Dalarna. Almost classic Detroit Techno tracks with some jazzy influences from these guys that have been playing around and tweeking their Deep Bass Nine, TB-303, Korg DW8000 and Yamaha DX7 & DX10, sprinkling some samples on top with the Casio FZ-10M since 1994.

Jeroen Search – Destiny [CSF041]

Raw, booming and pretty straightforward yet with that typical Jeroen Search touch. “Ellipse” is loopy, minimalistic and a very effective dancefloor weapon. “Periapsis” on the other hand is a calmer track, deepness, darkness, smoothness. The background sounds give it a unsettling vibe while the acid’ish stabs give it that hypnotic feel you drugheads all crave for. But the icing on the cake is definetely the Conforce remix.

Stephen Brown – Extensive Perception EP [HEM005]

https://i0.wp.com/www.dnp-music.com/img/HEM-5_a-side_Etikett_dnp_305x305.jpg

Two Detroit tracks by Stephen Brown on his first appearance on Heliocentric Music. The record starts with “HMI”, a very deep dancefloor-experience with lots of spheric sounds, which make the track perfect for the crowd as well as for home-listerners. “My Harmony” is of such a beauty, that one simply has to listen. Ambient-soundscapes and electro-drummings are the key here and take the listener on a truly fantastic journey.
