Attika wpa034 by Acrux
For our next acid excursion We Play Acid takes a trip down under to sample the best in antipodean Acid. ACRUX aka Tex Adams-Wilcox hailing from Sydney Australia brings us “Attika E.P.” with deep roots in the progressive house movement of the early nineties , and travels through a range of emotions , in places its deep , other times minimal yet melodic.
Track 1 “Emold” embarks with a tight eighties sounding disco groove, then boomerangs to a more ancient land where deep didgeri-synths pound the earth and hi-pass cirrus clouds form above as you travel at speed through the outback in a
futuristic vehicle powered by Acid.
Track 2 “Epsilon” evokes memories of good times…… As dawn breaks at the all nighter the Sun begins to peek over the horizon then rises in all of its glory unfazed by the relentless beat … Today is gonna be a good day.
Track 3 “Attika” the title track of the E.P has a more full on attitude , in yer face digital bass gets pounded by loads of drums through a series of mood swings for a good 5 minutes.
Track 4 “ Nightmare” has an unsettling paranoiac groove which oddly shares it beginning with “ Love Action” by The Human League of all things, but it quickly takes a more sinister path , you get the feeling someone or something is following you as the fear builds in you until you can no longer stand it and have to turn to look …… But there’s nothing there.
So please show your support for Acrux and We Play Acid record label so we may continue to bring you the freshest acid sounds from round the globe . When we find acid ….. We Play It.

WPA´s devoted exclusively to the most Underground Acid House aspect of electronic dance music. Main releases or remixes may float with more or less TB303 incorporation. Just because it sounds Acid, it doesn't mean its good for us. We don't cover extensive use of Resonance, or Hardcore tracks. We love the roots of Acid House since the genesis and focus to keep that genuine dance floor vibration.
