Chris Liberator @ Doctor's Party (Dez.2022)

Anybody that's ever heard my mixes before will probably already be aware of my Acid Roundabout series... but I've never uploaded them to SoundCloud before... So here is the first volume of classic Acid Techno from the deepest, darkest warehouses of London, 1998, where I used to spend all 
my teenage years :) 
The majority of these tunes are responsible for making me want to become a DJ and, although listening back to the mix nowadays I feel it's perhaps a little *too* fast, the tracks still stand the test of time almost 20 years later.
Recorded February 2008.

The Acid Roundabout Vol. 1 (1997-2000)

Just having some fun on my very old CDJs! Stuff from @Acid Resistance, @Stay Up Forever, @Acid Chochi & @Sayith P, @D.A.V.E. The Drummer & @Pest Control, @Billy -Daniel- Bunter (Didn't know he made acid techno!), @The Geezer, @Zyco & @Yario, @Chris Liberator, @Diego Lizarazo, @Stefano TT and @Ganez The Terrible - sorry if I've missed any producers/labels. Hope you like what you hear, I really enjoy messing about on my decks, much to the annoyance of my neighbours. For anyone who cares 
the intro is from an extract from the late author William Buroughs. If you like what you hear I would really appreciate it if you could like, share and encourage people to follow.

Acid Techno Mix #3

The 11th edition of my Squat Rocking series — dedicated to the sounds of the London illegal raves of my youth — is a special tribute to an obscure but brilliant label: Organgrinder Records. Run by Zebedee and Lawrence, Organgrinder never had the name recognition of labels like Stay Up Forever, Routemaster, or Smitten, but it played a vital role in the scene’s ecosystem. Every label mattered! I've always loved their uncompromising, no-nonsense releases, so I thought it was time to shine a little spotlight on them. Enjoy!

A.P.

Rising from the depths of the underground techno scene to the heights of total innovation in sound design, the Refined Format label boss continually pushes the boundaries of electronic music with his creative vision. His ‘dare to fail’ attitude is unparalleled, allowing dynamic and original experimentation while he works tirelessly in his studio.
Over two decades, he has elevated his DJ career with true grit and determination, to feature at some of the biggest venues and parties all over the UK and Europe, as well as gigs further afield in South America. His eagerness to continually propel his music forward, also makes way for some exciting and unpredictable moments on the dancefloor while he is performing.
With his effort and enthusiasm not going unnoticed, A.P.’s forward-thinking attitude has allowed him to successfully exist within the new age of the electronic scene. His love of techno has also seen him adapt and evolve to maintain strong presence throughout the current transformation of the modern era of techno music.
While his headstrong and exacting work as an artist has received universal acclaim, the fine details of his production skills have gained appreciation from press and peers alike. As part of his identity, he continues to retain the authenticity of his original sound that emphatically propelled his career since day one, while relentlessly driving his sound forward.

✨ I am very happy to share a preview of my remix of Ana Valeriano ‘Welcome’ as part of her ‘Mystic Chants’ EP ✨🧚💫

This EP brings together a collective of female psychedelic artists from across the globe, each reimagining the original tracks in their own unique way 🌍✨

From hypnotic textures to powerful melodic moments, every remix tells its own story — woven together through a shared vision of creativity, connection, and expression.

For me, being part of this release means more than just music… it’s about representation, collaboration, and celebrating the strength of women (and diverse voices) in the psytrance scene 🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

🔜 Coming soon on DoubSquare Records  - 27/03/2026 - on Beatport & Spotify
Available to Pre-Order on Beatport - https://www.beatport.com/release/mystic-chants-compiled-by-ana-valeriano/6466056

Ana Valeriano - 'Welcome' (Nikki S Remix) - OUT SOON on DoubSquare Records

I'm very excited to present the latest edition of my Squat Rocking mix series of free party music for free people, and this time around it's a tribute to original London techno legend @dave-the-drummer

Yes, indeed, there are no tracks from Hydraulix! This is an omission, but I sold my Hydraulix collection six years ago and figured that it didn't make sense to buy some back just for the sake of the mix ... especially when I already owned so many bangers.

Enjoy, live, comment, and repost! More new music next week.
