Stay Up Forever レコード& CD

Review: Following a string of explosive releases on labels like Acid Artists In Action (Triple A), Stay Up Forever, Hydraulix, and Interruption, ACERBIC is raising the stakes with a colossal triple-vinyl, limited-edition LP on the SUF/Hydraulix collaboration label. Packed with nothing but high-energy, dancefloor-destroying cuts, it kicks off with the anthemic 'Acid Way Of Life' and powers through a relentless selection of techno and acid techno bangers that push the boundaries of both genres. No filler, just pure, peaktime fire. Already road-tested by scene legends D.A.V.E. The Drummer and Chris Liberator, this one is sure to rip up rulebooks and dancefloors alike.

Review: The Stay Up Forever label hits release number 13 but there isn't a bit of bad luck in sight - instead, this is a potent EP of eyes-wide techno from Sam DFL who links up with a quartet of different collaborators and aims, it seems, simply to blow your brains. These jams are laden with hard techno tropes and distorted, fuzzy bass as well as video game signifiers, trance-techno pads and bright, visceral, vibrant melodies. Hammer Mode & Sam DFL's 'Bad Time 4 Acid' is a particular standout here for its high speed and compelling acid grooves.

Review: Techno titans Chris Liberator and D.A.V.E. The Drummer are Dynamo City and they dropped this searing techno first back in 2006. It got remixed various times by various artists in the years after but now we get two originals on bright pink vinyl 12" thanks to Stay Up Forever. 'One Night In Hackney' is a blistering cut with brain frazzling synths over slamming drums and spoken word monologues about a night out. 'One Night In A Village In Kent' then ups the ante and brings more rave potency with even more high octane drums pounding away down low. Not for the faint hearted!

Review: Krismix's The Pills Of The 90's offers an authentic dive into the world of 90s acid techno. The EP kicks off with the Dynamo City remix of 'The Pills Of The 90's,' a high-octane, sci-fi inspired track that delivers relentless, energetic acid techno. This remix exemplifies the genre's no-holds-barred approach, driving the track with fierce intensity. Following is 'Blast,' a track that embodies the essence of banging, acid-infused techno. Its stomping beat and unyielding energy make it a standout for any techno aficionado. On Side-2, the original 'The Pills Of The 90's' continues the high-energy, acid-driven theme with its powerful, engaging sound. The Acerbic remix then introduces a classic 90s acid techno vibe, featuring a clearer drum kick and a more pronounced acid line, providing a nostalgic yet fresh take on the genre. This EP is a great example at the innovation of 90s acid techno and what it can be today.
