We're back with a VA featuring four tracks from Sosak, Fear-E, Acidulant and ourselves. We kick things off with the pounding 'PA2 Crew'. An ode to the hardcore we both loved in our earlier raving days. The title of the track pays homeage to our hometown of Paisley. Track two comes from Sosak, an alias of Glasgow's Gary Beck. Sosak’s 'Do One' keeps the energy high with pulsating synths and driving drums. On the flip side, Fear-E’s 'Rhubarb and Custard' is a jackin 'journey filled with melodic elements and chaotic atmospheres. Self-confessed acid freak Acidulant brings the release to a close with the deep, dark and moody 'Drankx'. A hypnotic trip into the void.

Fear - E - Rhubarb And Custard (CR002)

This month's mix for Electronic Convergence is a shout out to the golden age of techno music - the late nineties - featuring classic tracks from legendary producers Jeff Mills, Ben Sims, Marco Carola and User. I started DJing and buying records in 1996 and remember when these tracks came out and the hype surrounding labels such as Axis, Purpose Maker, Theory, Question and User. I never get sick of playing and listening to these records.

Unforgettable moments together with Esse during the daylight time in Masada.
The genuine technique of him brought his deeper soul in a sophisticated mixture of house, minimal and techno sounds.
Enjoy the ride.

Dark Science Electro - Episode 845 - 12/5/2025

Co-Accused is the DJ duo of Raymond and Lindsay Green who are long established in Glasgow as label founders and party promoters of the same name. From their notorious basement raves in Club 69 they have played and hosted at most of the city’s best-loved party spots and have built a solid reputation in the Glasgow underground scene. Last year they held their debut takeover of Sub Club with a sell out night hosting Dave Clarke on his Archive One anniversary tour and at the end of 2024 they announced a quarterly residency at The Berkeley Suite. 

The pair know techno and electro inside out, their dynamic ethos and tack for driving up the energy levels as DJs has not only made them firm fixtures on local party line ups but has also taken them to Amsterdam, Barcelona and London. Fuelled by the pair’s devotion to underground club culture, Co-Accused Records is a hot bed of uncompromising club tracks, releasing sounds from the likes of Ben Pest, Luke’s Anger, Fear-E, Human Rebellion, ARA-U and Radioactive Man. To date, the label has been featured in DJ Mag and supported by some of the most respected heads in the game including Helena Hauff, Laurent Garnier, Dave Clarke and Slam.

This year they continue to step out in Glasgow with their regular Berkeley Suite residency, guest spots and some extra special events in the pipeline - keep your eyes on them for more.
