Nico – Mind Flux

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

Here’s a track I featured towards the end of my recent mix (posted below somewhere, err too lazy to link it), a cool techno track off the underappreciated techno/rave label ESP by Nico. Nico put out a number of good releases on this label, but sadly died many years ago. This tune is pretty atypical for his sound and the label in general, featuring a super heavy solid 91 style breakbeat throughout. Because of that, it’s likely overlooked by fans of hardcore stuff (except for the ones who also like good acid and techno, which he was well known for). Definitely a good record and pretty easy to track down as well.

Chekists – Vengeance

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

Another white label I don’t have any info on, this one is a far cry from the choppy polished jungle I posted yesterday – it’s a lot moodier with acidy synths and a single note piano part coming in and out. The break layering in it sounded a bit awkward to me at first but has grown on me over time – while clunky at points, there’s definitely some interesting things going on with the beats if you listen closely. All in all it’s a pretty sparse, subdued and vibey track, especially worth checking out for white label enthusiasts/obscurity seekers.

Formicula 4 – Formic Acid

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Here’s something a little different… a 91 techno track by several German producers including Mike Ink. Maybe not congruent with what I normally post but who cares… “this is acid… I’m gonna give you acid!!”

Biochip C – Agoraphobia

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Here’s something a little bit different, a totally slamming acid breakbeat track by Biochip C aka Martin Damm. Mr. Damm put out some amazing tunes under a variety of aliases (including the aforementioned Biochip C, Search & Destroy, Psychic Parasite, Biobreaks, Headhunter, etc). This track is from 94 but sounds like it’d mix perfectly with 92-93 tracks.
