Newton St. Market 001: Inner Sounds w/ Beggar

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.

About the EP:

“Deconstructivism is a postmodern architectural movement which appeared in the 1980s. It gives the impression of the fragmentation of the constructed building, commonly characterised by an absence of obvious harmony, continuity, or symmetry.” - wikipedia

Forged from a mutual love of breaky things, label co-founder DJ Economy teamed up with local LA fixture undercurrent to cook up a split EP at the Body Tools studio in Highland park, CA. Over the course of two years they carefully crafted two collab tracks that are book ended by individual productions from DJ Economy. Opening with the sample college that takes the name of the EP, we are quickly greeted with the voice of architect Paul Rudolph while mutated breaks churn at lurking measures below it. Next we are greeted by the first collab track entitled “Contrast“ which is a low slung 130 BPM roller that features sprinkles of soul samples over mangled breaks that slowly become more dissected. “Fragments” takes us up to 174 BPM where the boys slowly unravel a techy jungle roller featuring synthetic forest ambience and tundra cold pads and crashing breaks. Finally DJ Economy’s irreverent footwork banger “Tangent” leads us out of the EP with endless flips of a core sketch that sprinkle drippy jungle sounds over skittering TR-8s programmed drums and leering digi stabs. Together these tracks represent a fusion of the two artists that creates something new for both their catalog of styles. 

As usual, all tracks were printed to reel to reel master tape as PreMasters using a Pioneer RT-707, and then mastered by Jumping Back Slash in South Africa. 


About the Artists:

DJ Economy:
Hailing from Baltimore, but residing in LA for over 10 years is Body Tools co-founder DJ Economy. As both a producer and DJ, he explores a range of styles while always channeling an ear for percussion and jazzy gritty grooves with the off kilter sounds of IDM, Jungle, and Deep House.

Undercurrent:
Kevin Lipman aka undercurrent is an L.A.-based producer focused on exploring all manner of broken-beat, from mid 90s UKG and jungle to modern minimal and techno sounds. With a penchant for hazy, minimal aesthetics, undercurrent is gearing up to release a collection of original works that span a wide variety of influences.

Body Tools Presents: DJ Economy - Deep House Mix from Secret Garden (VPN Radio - 08/20/25)

About The Mix:
“Recorded live at a listeners party right on the beach in Venice, CA this mix is filled with bright and bubbly deep house that ranges from old to new but is always funky, shuffly. The location was beautiful and it was such a pleasure to cruise through this set in the open air and sunlight.”  - DJ Economy

About Our Guest:
Hailing from Baltimore, but residing in LA for over 10 years is Body Tools co-founder DJ Economy. As both a producer and DJ, he explores a range of styles while always channeling an ear for percussion, jazzy gritty grooves, the off kilter sounds of IDM, Jungle, Trip-Hop, and Dusty Deep House. Behind the decks he dispenses sets that effortlessly change form while keeping your hips locked to the groove. Across his five releases on Body Tools he has plotted a sound that is raw and fresh with the jagged edges of analog hardware production and always nodding to the warehouses and fields of rave's beginnings. 

About the Show:
Body Tools Presents is a broadcast that happens on the Third Wednesday of every month starting at 7pm PST on VPN Radio. Each episode features a pre-recorded mix by a friend of the label somewhere in the world introduced by label co-founder DJ Economy. All mixes from Body Tools Presents are uploaded to our SoundCloud & YouTube the following day after the broadcast.
