“14 tracks of downward acid”

Acid House has swung in and out of fashion since its late 80's heyday, and although there's a seemingly endless line of contemporary producers enamoured with classic Jack templates, we're particularly fond of those less conventional variations tipping into the deepside. Some of these tracks are slow, hypnotic configurations, some messed up and woozy, while others only loosely evoke the spirit of Acid House, but what unites them all is an off-centre aesthetic built around sparse percussion and a minimal blueprint that's as spacious as it is filthy and fierce. All things being equal, we'd rather JACK then, errr, what was that band called?
