An acid house always leaks!
RedshapeÆs visits to Running Back are a welcome recurrence and a soothing reminder
that techno and house can still come in several shapes and sizes. Related and
referring to earlier acid studies on Release Me and to a certain extend on Rise, the
masked man continues to find new approaches to the 303 canon with Acid Leak.
True to form, the seasoned producer choses groove over governance, lets batteries
leak and strikes a chord or two with old lovers and new votaries of the classic club
techno titans of the nineties û strings included.
Wing Wing is an exemplary excursion into the special and unmatched Redshape zone that
rejoins rock and dental drillers, while Acid Flow counterpoints the titles trackÆs
opulence with a dub version û both hit like a streak. The curveball and icing on the
cake is Frantic. Hi-tech-jazz in technique and -soul in attitude, it feels like a
late contender to the quintessential Deepest Shade of Techno compilations. Four to
the floor!
