Acclaimed Australian underground techno ambassador and owner of the infamous IF? Records, Sebastian Bayne opens the VA with a proper trippy sound. "Standing Back" is typified by driving kick-drums set and hypnotic synths, resulting in a groove out of space and time.
Signed by Secret Keywords' owner Gianmarco Silvetti, the second track is characterized by bold and punchy basslines and a scratchy, biting synth. Layered with reverberated vocal tools, "Adebysy 2020" is set to melt your brain down. "Man about town" is a progressive construction of organic sounds: from manic and woody to dark and sweeping obscure ambience. Designed by industrial techno backer VSK, it brings you into a mesmerizing trip.
Distorted hooky soundscapes and heavy acid basslines are tweaked from the fourth track "Act 242" of Lucindo. Proper to his style, we can find also here that distinctive approach between old-school acid beats and obscure granular atmospheres, always leading to sharp sounds-spheres.
The acid train spread his wings with the 5th track signed by FracTAL, who doesn't deny his fame as Irish acid-electro-techno advocate. "Negative Force" is an unstoppable raw acid bomb, layered with 90's techno slamming beats and bound to knock your sock off.
Closing the VA with "LaPoDeI", DAHRAXT does the honours bringing in a relentless 4/4 groove, driven to granular distortions. Distinguished by industrial FX-charged synths, fragmented voices, analogue oscillations and enigmatic ambiences it's the cherry on top for this remarkable VA.
