Behind the Hard Techno : Release Notes
UK underground legend Acerbic aka Ant, Chicago Loop and many other alias’ returns to Perc Trax after the huge success of his Acerbic remix of Perc’s ‘Imperial Leather’ last year. A regular on labels such as Stay Up Forever, Cluster, Hydraulix, Maximum Minimum and his own Power Tools label, now it is time for his well overdue first full EP for Perc Trax. Across the four tracks on the Doom Circuit EP Acerbic sets out is vision of club techno. Hard driving and powerful with a constant sense of forward momentum. Opening track ‘Doom Circuit’ has been a key part of Perc’s sets for months now. Acid techno without the acid as a succession of computer bleeps take over the role a 303 would usually play in tracks like this. Next ‘Lukla’ floats echoing lead lines, looping house music stabs and just a touch of London underground acid to create a fusion of classic underground sounds. B1 track ‘Metroliner’ is the most energetic track on the EP as a stomping kick and clap rhythm is topped off with synths stabs reminiscent of Luke Slater’s classic ‘Forklift. Finally ‘Helter-Skelter’ takes things down a notch focusing on percussion intricacy making it the perfect mixing tool for the more creative DJ.
