Various Artists — Acid Sampler

Dial 303! The new and hopefully also durable sampler series on Running Back is here.

Dedicado al twang de la caja base plateada de Roland con una variada ristra de artistas: DVS1, Marko East & Jordi Chu (cuya colaboración despertó la idea de toda una serie), Like A Tim vía Prins Thomas, Katerina e I:Cube.

The Parisian put it in a nutshell, too: „Although rinsed to death to the point of becoming a parody of itself, acid will last forever.“ Therefore, his Folie Noire is combining the original recipes with hypnotic European influences, while Marko and Jordi present a rough and direct 303-909 live jam, Prins Thomas puts his wickedest smile on Like A Tim’s Wonderline from 2005 and Katerina sets a lucid dream to sanguine music.

Finally, there is a rare and much desired musical outing by the unique DVS1. A direct ode to Chicago’s acid and beatdown styles and its Midwest companions, it is a heads-down-lights-down late night track made for driving up and down Lower Wacker Drive. Trippy trip artwork by the inimitable Gasius.

Trivia: If the piano is the bread of house music, the acid line is its butter!
