Acid Camp is excited to announce a new compilation album. The album celebrates the label’s 10 year anniversary with 35 artists—of which 25 are releasing with the label for the very first time.

As the largest release in the record label’s history, Acid Camp: 10 Year Anniversary Compilation dramatically expands upon Acid Camp All Stars Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (both 2018) with more than triple the number of featured artists. Ten return to the label, including Eric Cloutier and Jeremiah Chiu, while Abby Echiverri, Bézier, Force Placement, and 32 more celebrate their first track with Acid Camp.

From Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Berlin to Tokyo, the artists represent the breadth of the underground and independent music scenes of the 2020s and underscore the collective strength of Acid Camp’s community since 2013. The release spans dancefloor-forward acid house and techno to ambient, downtempo, and funk selections. Lyrics are cut and collaged; synths are squelched; grooves are grooved.

100% of the album's profits will be donated to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), founded over 30 years ago in 1991. PCRF is the leading nonprofit organization providing medical care and diverse humanitarian assistance to countless children in the Middle East.

Acid Camp: 10 Year Anniversary

Dar Embarks, the hardware-based collaboration of Chicagoans Dan Jugle and Ken Zawacki, share four precious recordings of bouncing, highly-acidic machine funk and industrial ambiance. This is a posthumous release for Dan Jugle, who departed in 2018.

Dan was a multi-instrumentalist and a pillar of Chicago’s techno scene who left an indelible mark on it with his distinctive sound. His infatuation with electronic music began in the mid-90s when he found his way to Midwest raves as soon as he was old enough to drive to them. He began working with analog gear to create his own expression of the music he heard there. Jugle, Zawacki, and Mike Broers started experimenting with a thrifted Roland TR-707, figuring out the controls through trial and error. They performed together as Ghost Arcade in the early 2000s.

Years later, Jugle and Zawacki reunited creatively, forming Dar Embarks and building the foundation for their project. Jugle gained a reputation for crafting washed-out, saturated club tracks as Juzer, a project formed with Beau Wanzer. Dar Embarks’ debut EP Fleer (released on CLEAR USA) and Juzer’s Horseplay (on Anthony Parasole’s label The Corner) were both released in 2014, both elevated by Dan Jugle’s live-action knob-twisting and button-pushing composition inspired by sci-fi and comic books. Despite his early passing, Jugle’s legacy lives on through his work and his passion for Midwest techno that his friends and fans still remember and carry.

Lovingly wrapped up and presented to Acid Camp by Ken, these heaters are finally set free to move asses and minds.

Dar Embarks - Let's Start Our Own Thing

November 25, 2024
Eugene, OR / Los Angeles, CA / Detroit, MI

Acid Camp is excited to announce an extended release by Detroit-based artist Endash, Prednisone, available digitally on Bandcamp today, November 25, 2024.

A limited edition of 25 signed records by DISC_ARCHIVE are available for preorder, estimated to deliver March 2025.

The 23-minute extended play is a score from the artist’s film of the same title recently shown at the Mike Kelley Homestead via the Museum of Contemporary Art, Detroit (MOCAD) in the show Word of Mouth (June 28-October 6, 2024).

The score is a collection of four new works that distort, slow, and layer the Gaelic folk song Dúlamán and Scottish-based Ossian’s Rory Dall's Sister's Lament (1984). Dúlamán sings of the tradition of gathering seaweed for food, bathing, and fertilizer. Rory Dall’s Sister’s Lament was originally published in 1778 by Daniel Dow as a Scottish hymn.

The film (17 minutes 15 seconds) explores how bodies translate anxiety into physical infections. It considers “narrative medicine” as a tool for healing psychosomatic pain and places it in conversation with Western medicine, which has often suppressed people’s—often queer people’s—ability to identify the roots of their wounds. It combines footage of landscapes with rotating horizon lines, pictures of a stress rash that appeared on the artist’s body in 2023, and childhood ephemera.

Endash (Daniel Sharp, b. 1994, Grand Rapids, MI) is a Detroit-based artist, musician, writer, and interdisciplinary organizer. His music practice explores loss, memory, and science fiction. They have self-released three EPs, including Tether (2014), Damp (2014), and Cyclical Tendencies, or Round and Around (2017). His first album, Come Home (2019), was self-released digitally. Endash is the founder and co-organizer of Moods (2017-ongoing), a community of nightlife workers, techno fans, and artists that platforms music outside of techno with mixtapes and low-capacity events. Endash has deejayed and performed internationally at Basicilia Soundscape (Hudson, NY), Bossa Nova Civic Club (Brooklyn, NY), Beloved Radio (Chicago, IL), Disco Zwei (Manheim, Germany), Hunter Thompson Saloon (Saarbrücken, Germany), Public Records (Brooklyn, New York), Flyover (Minneapolis, MN), BEVERLY'S (New York, NY), GLU (New York, NY), The Lot Radio (Brooklyn, NY), and WCBN’s Crush Collision (Ann Arbor, MI).

Endash – Prednisone

Giving Chase is Hudson Valley-based musician and DJ Scotia's debut solo release on Acid Camp Records. The six-track record is a high-femme hardware journey filled with jacking rhythms, swampy acid lines, and coquettish vocals. The EP opens with a pairing of feverish acid jackers "Who Really" and "Time 2 Work." "Pillow Priestess" and title track "Giving Chase" are expressionistic grooves that explore the ups and downs of sex and romance. "Love To Hate It Too" is a cheeky love letter to acid-house culture, and Otodojo's remix of "Time 2 Work" puts the original track through a kaleidoscope of bass rhythms and textures.

Scotia co-promotes the party Community Rave Network, a monthly queer-centric event that prioritizes classic rave values of music-first ecstasy. She began buying vinyl, DJing, and making tracks while living in Brooklyn in the early 2000s. After moving back to her hometown, she began promoting parties as Outpost 1 that supported regional club sounds—making connections with Brooklyn's UK Bass upstarts Turrbotax and the ballroom scene's Mike Q. In 2011, her work in the music industry went on hiatus, returning in 2022 and since then performing at Wrecked, The Bunker, and at renegade raves and clubs down the East Coast.

Scotia - Giving Chase

Reincarnation is an EP that sprung from relational rupture in Bryce’s life, and Jason’s departure from Los Angeles to Yucca Valley in 2021. The cracks left from these transitions created space to introduce new people and places, allowing opportunities for change. These context disruptions shed their established identities and brought them together to make music that inspires the courage to evolve and dance through life’s challenges. The intention behind the track fittingly coalesced by reuniting the duo in Portland, where they both now live and work. Reincarnation combines Jason’s live drum compositions with classic electronic riffs and gritty Korg sequences.

This release features remixes from Detroit-based producer and visual artist Otodojo, and Los Angeles-based producer and educator Ricky Tinez. This marks Deep Dark Blue's second release on Acid Camp Records, following their 2019 debut "When We Get Together."

As a core mind behind Mizz Softee, the diversity of his tastes is reflected in the talent recruited for any events he’s involved in, ranging from classic techno and house, to emerging sounds from outer regions, and healthy doses of authentic New York after-hours grit. A digger par excellence, Sam’s selections change with his surroundings to slot in with his invitees or flow to their own wayward conclusions, often evading strict genre to revel in groove and atmosphere through deep house, techno, ultramodern breakbeats, wave, vintage tech house, early trance, and leftfield picks.

As Mizz Softee rises to ever greater renown, so does her ambition, recruiting legends like DJ Rolando, DJ Hyperactive, Sandrien, Mike Dearborn, Anthony Parasole, Marco Shuttle, Mystic Bill and many more. Sam’s sure handed guidance balances weighty names with the crème de la crème of US and international tastemakers and local luminaries with unquestionable credentials. Emphasizing continuity and content in both his sets and his curation, he seeks to return ethics to the dancefloor, both in the quality of the music and the atmosphere his endeavors embrace.

Howdy! I'm Beggar. Some lovely friends and I run a friendly label called Low Recordings. This mix was made with a window view of an orange tree in full bloom of ripe fruit. It was a nice day, and I wanted to channel the environment I was taking in towards my selections. So I guess if this mix had a theme, it’d be juicy, sweet, a little sour, and a bunch of vitamin D! All of these vinyl selections hold a place in my heart, and I was pumped to have their rhythms play with one another. Thanks for listening!

This mix was recorded live during an All Night Long session at Mansions in Queens, NY on November 15th, 2024. Consisting of primarily vinyl selections ranging from dub tinged electronica, sultry progressive, percussive tech house, funky pumpers, deep techno & psychedelic electro. The room was electric, sweat dripping from swaying bodies. Thrilled to share a 2 hour section from one of my favorite sets in recent memory. I'll be releasing a new record "Limbs of a Lion" on April 4th, 2025 & celebrating with a release party going b2b with the inimitable Kiernan Laveaux.

“Limbs of a Lion” arrives in a dazzling array of shimmering psychedelia, the newest offering on fleet.dreams’ own Vinezza records. Following “Echoes of Ego” his acclaimed inaugural 12”, “Limbs of a Lion” sees fleet.dreams’ artistry and form blossoming into realms of kaleidoscopic cadence & textural buoyancy. The production flows through a classically dubwise live analog mixing setup, new spheres of delays & echoes evolving fleet.dreams’ process to embody a unique & fully realized intersection of live instrumentation & dynamic synthesis.

I’ve been trying to play my records out a lot more lately. For the longest time, I only played records — I’ve schlepped vinyl from Mexico City to Singapore and every in between. I’ve had my ups-and-downs in my DJ career, but lately I started getting booked for bigger gigs. The people I was opening for — HorsegiirL, VTSS, DJ Assault — were traveling into town and playing CDJs, so I really had focus on building my digital collection. It’s better for my back to show up with a thumb drive in my pocket. But vinyl just hits different. I love the glacial pace of taking the time to go through all my records, trying to find that perfect sequence (this one ended up being a bunch of dubby 303-drenched hypnotic mushroom techno). And then, in the moment, when it all falls apart, you have to let go and embrace the chaos. This mix was made off a pair of Technics long overdue for a tune-up and a cheap Pioneer mixer — natural feel steez.

Acid Camp Vol. 45 - Tony Fairchild

Next up on the docket for Acid Camp Records is a record created by duo John Tejada and Justin Maxwell. The pair came together to make ACR III with two things in mind: Creating sounds that put a smile on their face while possessing as much character as possible. 

The opening track, “I’ve Got Acid (On My Brain)” is a mind-bending wavetable freakout, the likes of which Tejada and Maxwell have been striving to do for years. Using a vintage EMS vocoder to create an original vocal sample, this track is bright, playful, & vivacious. “The Name Rolls In” is layered in an acid playground of sounds. A rhythmic track with a potent 303 bass line, prominent percussion, and that infamous vocoder back at it to create a distinctly groovy track. “Field Notes”, is a composition of celestial arrangements that is completely beatless. Carried through by tiers of sounds, filters, and noisier elements, this track lulls the listener into an alluring sonic dreamscape.
