Acid Love Making-Acid Junkies

Don't let the angelic intro of “Acid Love Making” fool you. As the track plays, it slowly spirals into a beautiful nightmare. It’ll make you feel as if you’re running endlessly through a psychedelic realm with no way out. It’s almost like being stuck in a level on LSD Dream Emulator.

000000002-999999999

When I first heard the preview for this track, I could not wait to get my hands on it. It’s pure acid techno at its finest. There’s nowhere to hide once that hard beat and sinister synth hit you. Feels like you’re entering a maze created by extraterrestrial beings. You can grab the digital track, or pre-order the EP here.

Relax Your Father Love-Dr.Felix Vs British Murder Boys

Here’s a hard, classic banger for you. The percussions are reminiscent of  another classic, “Women Beat Their Men” by Submission. Both are guaranteed to obliterate the dance floor.

Promised Land- Ben Buitendijk

Want to kick off your opening set with a smooth landing? To say the dubby floater, “Promised Land” by Ben Buitendijk is a perfect choice, would be an understatement. It’s a stunning and immaculate journey that encloses you with an electrifying feeling. As the track plays, it aims deeper with it’s slight change of moods.

Organezized-Deniro

The idea behind the concept of the album, De Niro Is Concerned, originated in a conversation between Nina and Reynier (Deniro):

“I was talking to Reynier about when the body is set for a good night sleep but the head rebels against that boring plan and all these strange scenarios start popping up in a quick cycle of images, phrases and sounds. This time it was about one of those moments when you suddenly realise that you can’t continue as you did before and there is no way back. I was in a 4 AM Facebook chat with Reynier and we both thought Robert De Niro might have had a moment like that…”

With a scenario like that, it’s easy to understand why the melancholic track, “Organezized”, is so trippy, heavenly, and beautiful, to say the least. There’s something special about it, that stands out from the rest. Could be the fact that it puts you in a trance, especially when you’re making your way back home late at night. It reminds me of what Sasha used to spin in the 90′s, but it also has a Crystal Castles vibe to it. Definitely a great weapon for your music collection.

The Sunrise In Her Eyes- Route 8

Route 8 really got everything right in this gentle house track. From those dreamy, spine-tingling synth pads, to the reverb on the percussion. He even sprinkled some soft vocals, that almost sound like a groaning whisper. Let it take you away to a serene place.

RA.490-Florian Kupfer

Via Resident Advisor: Florian Kupfer has blessed us all with this masterpiece. There’s really no other way of putting it. It’s overflowing with pure, new, and interesting sounds. Usually, mixes start off with ambient tracks that fade into techno, but he’s done the complete opposite here and it fucking works.

Final Experiment- Shed

Shed’s music always seems to find a way to head straight for deepest and hallow spaces of your walls when you play it loudly. Lose yourself in the fragmented and disordered palpitations of “Final Experiment”, and you’ll most likely end up stomped by an unexpected bass kick. It’s a mesmerizing track that will take you no where, which makes it even more eerie.

Amazon-Luca Bacchetti

This track is one incredible musical voyage spanning mystical, electronic and dreamlike dimensions. A lot of Luca Bacchetti’s work is inspired by nature, and you can definitely hear it in this one. Starting off with clean ethereal sounds and a nice kick, it slowly starts to feel like it's spiraling out of control. Leading up to a vortex towards the middle that sucks you in completely. It’s perfect for a set in the middle of the desert, or even at a roof top at 6am. Click here to listen to this gem.

Tripping with Nina

This mix is like the holy bible. Most of the tracks used are unreleased, from Nina’s label трип, and we can’t wait to cop all of them. It’s composed of repetitive gritty analog sounds, deep basslines, deep sub kicks, and haunting vocals. There's even a recording of a Spanish flight attendant towards the middle. The perfect recipe for the perfect trip. Listen to it here, and let her take you on one.

Elementz of Houz-Legowelt

A track for Sunday night: From the Paranormal Soul LP, here is one of the most ethereal and melancholic house tracks. It has just the sort of chilly mood you’d expect Legowelt to go for. It starts off with a synthesizer that tugs at your heartstrings, then leads you into a dark void of memories from the past. Legowelt incorporated just about all the elements of house music, making it a timeless masterpiece. Listen to it here
