Acid House emerged in the mid-1980s in Chicago, defined by its use of the Roland TB-303 synthesiser to create squelching basslines. It gained popularity in the UK’s rave scene, heavily influencing electronic dance music. Iconic themes like "Acid Tracks" by Phuture solidified its legacy, blending psychedelia with House rhythms.

Seasoned Swedish producer Högt I Tak (SXDNS179) is not simply an Acid aficionado. He masters it! He now returns with a B.A.N.G.E.R.S.-only release on his own When Disco Goes Wrong label: The three-track "Crooked Smiley" EP showcases his mastery in blending Acid, House, and Techno elements effortlessly, conjuring an auditory experience that bridges the gap between the roots of the genre and its futuristic evolution.

Premiered here, the title track stands out with its undeniable nod to old-school Acid House. A pulsating bassline drives the track, intertwined with shimmering pads that add an ethereal layer. As the track progresses, it builds to a peak-time crescendo, making it an essential dance-floor weapon. Högt I Tak’s knack for crafting intricate, yet infectious grooves is on full display here, ensuring that "Crooked Smiley" will resonate with both Acid new listeners and old-timers alike.

In the liminal space between consciousness and dream, where analog warmth meets mythological spirits, emerges *Yokai Parade EP* - a transcendent collaboration between Italian producer Volantis and Japanese artist Hiroko. This four-track journey, available on vinyl and digital formats, captures the moment when ancient Japanese folklore materializes through contemporary electronic music.

The genesis of this unique project lies in a profound studio session where Volantis' hardware sketches met Hiroko's supernatural narrative. Drawing inspiration from her psychedelic experience in Kobe, where passing trains summoned Yokai through her window, the EP weaves together reality and myth through carefully crafted sound design and haunting vocals.

The production brings together classic and modern synthesizers, with co-composer Niccolò Barozzi adding melodic layers that enhance the mystical atmosphere. From warm analog tones to ethereal digital textures, each sound was chosen to serve the storytelling, creating a perfect balance between dance floor energy and folkloric mysticism.

On the A-side, "Yokai Parade" embraces darkness with Hiroko's Italian narration guiding listeners through a mysterious underworld, punctuated by authentic Japanese train announcements calling forth these ancient spirits. Eden Burns' remix transforms this nocturnal journey into a hypnotic, percussion-driven ceremony that pulses with primordial energy.

The flip side introduces "La Kappa," where Hiroko embodies the playful water deity, her accented Italian floating over dreamlike sequences. Fabrizio Mammarella's Italorama Version reimagines the track through the lens of classic Italo disco, its throbbing bassline and celestial atmospheres bridging the gap between Mediterranean discoteques and Japanese mythology.

This release isn't merely a collection of tracks - it's a cultural séance where electronic music becomes the medium through which spirits of the East dance with rhythms of the West. Each element, from the synthesis to the multilingual vocals, serves to blur the lines between traditional folklore and modern dance music.

🔊 https://youtu.be/CmgxmS3Zkac

Tribak records is honored to present Diwan an adventure by Keller , a veteran DJ and producer from Berlin who has played at the city's spiciest events and clubs such as Staub, the late Griessmuehle, About Blank to name a few. In the last few years he has started producing tracks under his own label "Candy Kingdom Synth Orchestra".

His colorful sound is a mix of sweet synths, quirky melodies and sorrel sounds. It's like eating a chocolate bar with a twist - there's candy inside!

Diwan is a sonic adventure, dramatic synths, rolling bass lines, pounding drums, and metallic zaps. It is named after three legendary bars in his hometown of West Jerusalem, the place where Keller first began DJing, those places that were a small utopia in the midst of a city in conflict.

The sound of Diwan is dense and mysterious, emotional yet focused, starting with "Kov'an", which opens with a thrilling melody and then descends into the grid pit of a Berlin dungeon with pixie dust everywhere, "Diwan" is a powerful rave anthem with mystical synths and the closing track "Sira" is a perfect closing track that will have sunset dancers tearing up.

On remix duty we have three tasty lollipops that honor the spirit of Diwan. First we have a heavy duty Perlin from Feller (Hard Fist & Altered Rhythm Experience), a producer known for his unique hazy touch, second we have a toffee from Chris Mitchell, label boss of Feral Colony, he presents a subwoofer shaker with a massive tension build, lastly an eclair with a pink cream on top produced by Geneva's favorite John Levi', he lowers the tempo for a dramatic slow moe, in one word delicious!

PREMIERE - Antoni Maiovvi - Later Not Lately (Legowelt Remix) (Bordello A Parigi)

George T and Mairi ‘B’ Pots return with a new single on Paradise Palms

Acidic, percussive, hypnotic vocal belter from George T and Mairi ‘B’ Pots as Accident Machine on the ever-reliable Paradise Palms.

There once was a contraption so keen, Called the “Accident Machine” – quite obscene!
With a premiere most bright, It caused such delight,
In a real dream scene rarely seen!

The paradise palms stood nearby, As the machine let out quite a sigh.
“I manufacture mishaps! And wonderful scraps!
Of nonsensical things from the sky!”
 
It whirred and it clanked with a boom, Filling all of the scene with perfume.
Not the fragrant kind, no! But a strange psychic glow,
That transported you straight from your room!

Oh, real dreams it made by the score, Each one stranger than those made before.
In paradise lands, Built by mechanical hands,
What accidents could you ask for more?

PREMIERE: Accident Machine - Real Dream Scene [Paradise Palms]
