Heres what they say:
Now spinning …
a special one for the ravers. Jungle, Drum ‘n Bass, Acid, Freetekno by
Acrelid: Illegal Rave Tapes Selektion 1999-2012. Legendary and available
for sale at online recordstore Music Non-Stop (see link in BIO). A nice
intro to the separate released Illegal Rave Tapes series.
“Produced
in parallel to his ‘Hatcliffe House’ tape series, the 15 cuts of
‘Illegal Rave Tapes Selektion - 1999 - 2012’ chart highlights of a much
larger series of archival productions that emerged over the past decade.
They variously dial up aspects of classic Warp and Rephlex thru a
smudged lens of intrigue shared with likes of Stonecirclesampler (and
related projects), Christoph De Babalon or more acutely Moon Wiring
Club, who also uses a similar set-up of Music 2000 software on Sony
Playstation, with some Yamaha DJX II keyboard chops for good measure.
For
just over an hour the set prods imaginations and limbs to dance between
the skitter, brittle-boned breaks and blushing AFXian pads of ‘Right
There’ to the noisy free party tekno throb of ‘Pelt’. There are canny
lines to be drawn with Christoph De Babalon in the murky clack of ‘what
is this thing?’ or ‘The Twilight Zone (Music 2000 Mix)’, while he makes
eyes at Squarepusher in the amen splicing and harmonic jangle of
‘Vebus’. The lush jungle of ‘Pure Knowledge’ hits a high point, as do
the the psychoactive hardcore acid breaks of ‘It’s Not a Matter of
Belief’ and an ace collage of voxpops by Mancunion ravers set to
gurgling acid and Jega or Astrobotnia-like acid.”
