Ten years ago, Acid Test began with a simple concept—each track the label released would make use of the Roland TB-303. Like a producer purposefully paring down their studio setup, or the continuous imperative within underground electronic music to reduce, this concept engendered creativity with the introduction of what seemed to be an aesthetic limit. However, the decade that followed, which now culminates in the triple-LP compilation Ten Years Of Acid Test, proves acid is limitless.

That the Berlin-via-LA label would expand upon the classical conception of acid house and techno is no surprise considering the cast of characters that have come in fold over the past decade. Ten Years Of Acid Test gathers key material from the label's extended family of acid acolytes. There's that Vienna-via-LA maestro of sad, elegant acid Tin Man (Johannes Auvinen), whose "Afters Acid" is both a highlight within his prolific catalogue and a distillation of his symphonic approach to the 303. Detroit giants Erika and Marcellus Pittman, both of whom have released remixes on Acid Test, present their respective and singular Bass Line visions. Erika, the Interdimensional Transmissions lynchpin, crafts a dark, delicate take on broken techno on "Violet Fungus" while Pittman continues his cubist house explorations on "Unknown Species," both tracks straying from typical acid lines in favor of the intricate textures achievable on the 303.

This variation in approach applies to tempo as well. Irish-based master Lerosa, as well as Delsin affiliate VC-118A, delve into downtempo atmospherics. Meanwhile, Japanese deep techno virtuoso Wata Igarashi, SUED co-founder SW. (a regular on Acid Test's leftfield sub-label Avenue 66) and Patricia (one-half of Acid Test act Ociya) use acid as a creative jumping-off point for complex melodic concepts. Wata layers an orchestra of synth-bliss drone overtop a squelchy bassline on "Ephemeral." SW.'s "ChaIAnJAzzz" cycles through an array of dusted chords eventually landing in skewed, fuzzy rave nostalgia, anthemic chords held aloft by a wicked UK-flavour bass line. Patricia's “Higher Still” explores dreamy, IDM-flavoured acid, cinematic synthlines counterbalanced by propulsive, squelching acid.

Acid Test devotees will be thrilled at the return of various luminaries from the catalogue, including Achterbahn D'Amour, Skudge, AAAA, John Tejada and Donato Dozzy, whose memorable remix of Tin Man's "Nonneo" from Acid Test 01 served as a kind of proof of concept for the label. There's new blood too. San Francisco up-and-comer Sepehr makes his label debut with the excellent "Persian Acid Prince," as does Andreas Tilliander's beloved hardware techno project, TM404.

Like the original Hot Mix 5 Acid compilation, which highlighted the original cohort of Chicago acid innovators including Pierre, Fingers and Armando, Ten Years Of Acid Test is a valuable portrait of a group of artists linked by a dedication to innovation within acid, in line with the genre's storied roots. Over ten years, Acid Test has gracefully made a case for the 303's past, present and future, the story of acid continuing to unfurl in unpredictable, addictive patterns.

SoHaSo is very happy to welcome an recently unknown entity on the label, Joannes is here with a fresh sound originating form the North of Holland. We all need to do shadow work once in a while, integrating our inner demons to create a more balanced reflection to carry out our lives from. The Got Needs EP provides the soundtrack for this personal journey, including delightful remixes by Nadia Struiwigh and Melatonin Man. 

Got Needs A1 is a powerful groove with heavily driven drum machines and 303 bassline for peak hour introspection, it doesn’t get more hypnotic than this. Melatonin Man strips down Joannes’ effort into a down-tempo electro affair containing some spell-binding rhythms that sure is to move some boo... 
On the B-side we find Joannes taking a more emotional approach, having pads and a cross rhythmic synth riff do the heavy lifting. Nadia Struiwigh takes these elements to the outer reaches of the universe. In her remix she slows it down and creates an intriguing dubby atmosphere with dystopian chords and industrial percussion.

Guerilla Toss - Jackie's Daughter (Yu Su Dub)

Longtime fans of Sheffield’s Central Processing Unit may well remember Annie Hall. When CPU dropped her 2016 EP Tenured Positions it felt like a perfect union of label and artist - the atmospheric take on classic electro that Annie Hall had presented in her previous releases for labels such as Semantica and Detroit Underground was very much in sync with the CPU sound. Sure enough, Tenured Positions was an instant hit with CPU heads old and new, and the record remains highly sought-after to this day.

Now, four years on from Tenured Positions, the Barcelona-based Annie Hall returns to CPSmith’s imprint with new EP Fum. Fum picks up where Tenured Positions left off. Snapping broken-beat electro grooves anchor Fum’s midsection of ‘D’un Altre Planeta’ and its title-track. ‘D’un Altre Planeta’ is the most lively cut on the EP - there is real bite to the drums here which recalls everything from B12 to Star Eyes to early-90s hardcore - while ‘Fum’s beats are more low-slung and come bolstered by an electro-funk-flavoured bassline. These two tracks are bookended by ‘Verd Mar’ and ‘Promeses De Fusta’, joints which straighten out their rhythms into more linear IDM-techno beats.

As she exhibited on Tenured Positions, one of the main strengths of Annie Hall’s style is the manner in which she layers up harmony, tone and texture. Reverb- and delay-drenched synths cascade across Annie Hall’s tracks and serve to render her music in vivid colour. The combination of evocative atmospherics and grounded, stable beatwork is a technique which Annie Hall has inherited from experimental techno luminaries of the past - Autechre, Mark Bell, The Orb - and also something that she shares with other CPU artists like Tryphème and Nadia Struiwigh.

Annie Hall takes this approach once again on Fum. A fair bit of the record’s soundworld tends towards science-fiction - from the whooshing pads of ‘Verd Mar’ through the zipping synths of ‘D’un Altre Planeta’ and on to the B-movie keys of ‘Promeses De Fusta’ there is certainly an alien quality to much of this EP. However, Annie Hall is also sure to ground her astral musings by introducing softer synth sounds like the twinkling chimes in the background of ‘Fum’ and the gently lilting lead-line of ‘Verd Mar’.

For fans of Central Processing Unit, Annie Hall’s Fum is the best of both worlds. Here we have a record which brings together the roughneck electro snap of CPU’s club weapons with the melodic and textural deftness of its IDM-oriented releases.

In these moments, he perceived his allergy to this world, his alienation from it - as a disadvantage. But from the very beginning, he knew for himself this painful inability to get used to his familiar environment and it did not burden him at all, he liked to be on the other side and see the world from a different angle. He was pushed out by society, he was an outcast and he enjoys it.
The wonderful Elena Colombi continues her excursion journey through the depths and the farthest corners of the Osàre! Editions universe, presenting to your attention the next compilation on her eclectic label.
