Wylly - Arsonicum

I'll admit, I've had a pretty hard time categorizing a lot of the harder acid that's come out since around 2005. A good deal of it seems very overproduced; modernistic kicks and 303 patterns that change every 30 seconds (only a slight eggageration) which leave one feeling rather unfulfilled - a thrill that let you down the further you went.

Here Wylly offers something different. The A track demands attention from the get go, with an Acid Line that screams "Ahh! No Breaks!" (thinly veiled reference to Total Recall) and does not let up until the end. Coupled with the hardcoreish tempo and fucked up/complementary dark synths you have the makings of a truly brilliant piece of music. This is one of those tracks that is dying to be played at 4AM in some dirty warehouse in a bad hood circa 1994.
