ok...acid aint dead...where to now?

It just seems that way when I can disappear off the scene for two years and the first acid DJ I hear is playing shit I was bored of when I could be bothered with it all.

And lets face it up until recently Acid techno was really scraping the bottom of the barrel for inspiration. On reflection I stick by my original statement. The vinyl media is what keeps the scene so static.

I know you have to be hella motivated to get your stuff on vinyl and that deserves the rewards but it's still a case of everyone feeding from the same trough.

A change of media would open it right up.

What, exactly do you mean by 'I can disappear off the scene for two years'?

Are you implying it all fell apart cos you weren't there?

The munt set was a live experiment...more straight acid and 303 squiggelyness, still got the tracks somewhere....forgot about them actually lol

[speed-it-up]

Rob Acid is one of the few producers whose tunes i would buy nowadays

I like the Binary Basslines stuff as it is a bit different to mix down

in my opinion over reliance by certain uk labels on a handful of producers stifled the scene years ago and we are still paying the penalty

lets hope the new blood coming through can deliver the goods

[paulcortex]

Ha Ha...just listened to the mix...wtf happened with the bass haha...oh well thats live sets for ya...if anyone has soulseek let me know...got all of my live sets on there and loads of production samples/tools ;)
