Dusk was falling as they'd entered the space, ready to embrace everything that came their way. The pulsing sounds had absorbed them from the moment they set foot inside; what came after felt like a whirlwind, their memories becoming lost in a haze of sweaty bodies and enchanting rhythms. Bright light greeted them when they left, feeling as though they'd been chewed up and spat back out - yet it was nothing they wouldn't relive over and over again.

Siamese Twins' co-founder Sunju Hargun has been making moves over the last couple of years, both solo, as part of Mogambo and with the releases on his Bangkok-based imprint. After gracing the label a few times with the more downtempo side of his creations, Sunju makes his way to Taiwan's 禁JIN for two tracks that are guaranteed to have you drifting up into the cosmos. Backed by two remixes from Barcelona's Marc Pinol and Taipei's own Initials B.B., Sunju's originals are an ode to the sounds of classic trance and acid, with both set to light up dancefloors across the world.

PREMIERE: Sunju Hargun - Chale [禁JIN]

Chicago Flotation Device follow up last year's brutal Untitled acid excursions with a lighter but still pounding 12" on their self-titled, self-released imprint.

Higher is an extended peak-time acid jam, culled from hours of scissor-sythed outtake tapes and 3rd floor studio sessions, distilled into one bubbling, screeching banger.

Untitled 9 is a subtler take on the CFD sound. A clean 808-led, floating Juno jam that drifts undetected in the dark waters off Scarborough bay.

1. Y (Kamera Remix)

Like many of us, Brooklyn-based producer Gunnar Haslam has long been drawn to acid. Following two releases on The Bunker New York alongside Tin Man as a part of their improvisational Romans project, Gunnar returns with “Scale No Flam”, his first 12” single for the label. Scale No Flam is both a love letter and a demonstration of why he can’t stop getting lost in the sound. According to Gunnar, “acid is just one of those things that creeps into your life and consumes everything around you - a psychedelic and textural approach to music that is simultaneously intense and smooth.” While acid has come to be defined by the Roland 808 and the 303, the hardware alone can’t define the feeling, and Gunnar believes “You don't need a 303 to make acid, you just need an open ear and an open mind.” 

After getting Mike Servito, Justin Cudmore, Derek Plaslaiko, and Bryan Kasenic all running to the booth to see what the fuck was playing at various times when Gunnar was dropping the unreleased “Scale No Flam” in his DJ sets throughout 2016, we had no choice but to press it to vinyl. Gunnar tells us he was playing around with trying to replicate the bass line of Heaven 17’s 1982 classic ‘Let Me Go’ when “things kinda mutated.” The A side is completely Gunnar’s own with a dominating acid line providing the backbone to a flangey work-out that is simultaneously totally crazy and totally logical. On the B side, fellow Brooklynites and co-members of the Hot Mix DJ crew, Mike Servito and Justin Cudmore add their perspective with a remix that draws out the hidden angular funk.

b1.	Give Your Body (Delta Funktionen 3AM Mix)
b2.	Give Your Body (Lost Trax Remix)

For their next reissue project Delsin turn to this classic from 1992 by Random XS. This pioneering Dutch techno production outfit, with a tight live reputation, was closely aligned to the Saskia Sleger's legendary Djax-Up Beats-label. 

This EP features the original, legendary a-side, which was a hypnotic vocal acid anthem that has become an absolute classic of the genre. In all it lasts well over 12 minutes, but manages to be utterly compelling throughout, always evolving and keeping you locked in. It’s a track that takes influence from the harder Chicago sounds and really sums up the Djax-Up-Beats ethos. It has busy acid lines whipping about the mix as metallic hi-hats dance on top while filtered, haunting vocals take you down the dark rabbit hole.

The original mix is not only skillfully remastered from the original tape, it’s also ‘repaired’. The notorious out-of-sync gap at eight minutes is fixed, enabling long mixes without ‘trainwrecking'.

The b-side has two new remixes from Delta Funktionen and Lost Trax. Label stalwart Delta Funktionen serves up his own interpretation: a futuristic, electro tinged version with crashing hits and one of his famously busy basslines. The anonymous Lost Trax collective - who have released two EPs on Delsin before now - remix it also into a surging, twisted track with flurries of percussion and warped synths all bringing real warehouse energy.
