Suspended in Acid #2: Algorithmic Techno Saved Raves

Acid house came from the long living Disco era in India. It's a fact, and I'm going to prove it to you in this episode. 

I stream live from the CHRW studios every Thursday @ 4PM. Tune in on radiowestern.ca

Suspended in Acid #5: Bollywood Gave Us Acid House

The hard techno in this episode is wild. I also talked at lengths about Klangkluenster. Did you know hip hop and techno actually are related? Listen to the show to find out how.

Suspended in Acid #8: Met Her At The French Loveparade

This episode we explore some of the music leading techno's future. They're driven, they tickle your ear, and some are very experimental pushing production norms. We also try to theorize why the sound of the 80's still permeate our idea of the future. It permeates everything from sci-fi, to how people describe techno. I also had to make sure we take a look at the techno ties of The Weeknd on his latest album, Dawn FM.
