We have a special guest this week, London-based Acid Freq. is on the GF series. This is the raw electronics alias of Jeremy Rodriguez, also well known as DJ Chupacabras. He started the Draconian Steps label in 2021 dedicated to getting this blend of dusty, raw electronics with a crisp crunch. The label also puts out the Circus of Death project, which is his collaboration with LIES Records boss Ron Morelli. His releases are on heavy rotation and can't wait to see what else around the corner. As DJ Chupacabras, he's got an extensive body of work and blessed labels such as LIES Records, Public Systems Recordings, Sons of Traders, and many others. We could go on about but our brass tacks advise is: Lock in for an hour of Acid Freq. includes tracks by DJ Nephil, Chris Mitchell, Gavelman, and others.

The project by Jens-Uwe Beyer and Thomas Venker boasts a remarkable origin story.
In 2017, Venker, co-founder and co-editor-in-chief of Cologne’s Kaput magazine, hosted a gathering at Beyer's house, bringing together journalists, creatives, and musicians. To mark the occasion, the pair decided to join forces for an impromptu ambient-electronic performance, presenting themselves as a two-man band. That evening, donned in special costumes designed by artist Sarah Szczesny and fuelled by a generous amount of Japanese whisky, Hasan Poppu was born.

Over the course of the pandemic, the duo thought about creating a record based on the live recording of their premiere show. However, the synergy of their collaborative creative energies led them in entirely novel directions. Their self-titled, double-sided album traverses a wild and raucous terrain, moving swiftly from hybrid noise-techno to giddy party ecstasy, to strange and shadowy atmospheres. Including remixes by YPY, Hibotep, Lena Willikens, Efdemin and Barnt, the 11 tracks span a dizzying array of experimental dance-facing styles. 

'Die-Biden' kicks off as a high-vibrational vocal experiment seemingly voiced by a sentient German vocoder. 'Kodō' follows, featuring Venker's playful mantra set against a stomping beat. Willikens' reimagining of 'Teiko' transports the track to obscure realms inhabited by strange creatures emitting ungodly sounds. Meanwhile, Efdemin's take on 'Ekusutashī' pulsates with a kinetic buzz.
Flipping over to the B-side, 'Sakura' is a euphoric wall of drone punctuated by eerie whispers and mystical singing. Then, the second installment of 'Kodō' takes a fresh trajectory with a touch of Barnt’s electronic groove stylings. Finally, Hibotep's 'Shojo no yo ni flp' serves as the finsher – an unrepentant trance belter that disintegrates into sampled fragments.

Loosely translating to "broken pop music," Hasan Poppu is informed by Beyer and Venker's shared love for Japan. The band takes their cues from the country’s rich sonic cultures while also drawing on Venker's wordsmith background and Beyer's flair for melding melodic tech-house with song-based synth-pop. 
Originally out on Beachcoma Recordings, Hasan Poppu’s debut album gets a new lease of life on Osàre! Editions with a digital and limited edition cassette tape release. Sarah Szczesny reprises her role in shaping the visual identity of Hasan Poppu by creating beautiful, painterly artwork for the record.

Memory Clap Acid is a national living treasure. A producer and engineer of great skill and just a super rad dude. Taking his inspiration from 303s and industrial he's carved out a niche as the stompy King Ov Acid riding leather and rivets to glory and riches.
