    IMO, the music has gone downhill BIG TIME, and everything the acid scene stood for seems lost. The scene needs to get back to it's roots. New artists like A.P and Paul Cortex have the right idea. Lawrie Immersion's seriously missed, and DDR needs shaking to set him back on track! :) Still a top bunch of blokes @ SUF, but I feel that the scene is at it's lowest at the moment. To be honest, I think the London acid techno scene had it's peak a long time ago when the message was political and the music was fu*ked up, far out and avin'it, compaired to the watered down, mid life crisis hard dance tag on releases nowadays. Still think software ruined the music. Viva la hardware! Anyway, just my opinion...

    To be honest I think acid is still out there, maybe not as pure as the old days but its still going! I suppose after many years of acid techno music, times have turned and the djs have kinda rolled with them times....for instance look at the London acid djs of today....Chris, Henry, Aaron, Ant, DDR, Geezer etc...these guys tend to play other styles of music other than just 100% acid and I think this is because the new generation of ravers want to hear newer music...funky, hard, European, schranz even.... if djing is your life and earns you a living like most of the original London acid crew...then you must roll with the times and play this new music to the newer audiences!

    I don’t think Chris, Henry, DDR etc are replaceable, these guys made a new underground music culture...the time was right, the music was fresh, new and exciting....it was av’in it.!!! No doubt the squat parties are at large in London and all over the place really…that will never end for sure, for some its a way of life!

    another point is …I think a huge part of the acid techno generation have grown older too, me for instance…I was at any acid techno party I could get myself too…these days I just cant do it (well I can but it fvcks me up for days) and although I love the music and support it as much as possible…I just haven’t get the same energy as I used to and im sure this applies to many others…the acid techno era is fading, but its not over yet!! VIVA LA ACID!!
