ACR 011EP
|
Dar Embarks, the hardware-based collaboration of Chicagoans Dan Jugle and Ken Zawacki, share four precious recordings of bouncing, highly-acidic machine funk and industrial ambiance. This is a posthumous release for Dan Jugle, who departed in 2018. Dan was a multi-instrumentalist and a pillar of Chicago's techno scene who left an indelible mark on it with his distinctive sound. His infatuation with electronic music began in the mid-'90s when he found his way to Midwest raves as soon as he was old enough to drive to them. He began working with analog gear to create his own expression of the music he heard there. Jugle, Zawacki, and Mike Broers started experimenting with a thrifted Roland TR-707, figuring out the controls through trial and error. They performed together as Ghost Arcade in the early 2000s. Years later, Jugle and Zawacki reunited creatively, forming Dar Embarks and building the foundation for their project. Jugle gained a reputation for crafting washed-out, saturated club tracks as Juzer, a project formed with Beau Wanzer. Dar Embarks' debut EP Fleer and Juzer's Horseplay (on Anthony Parasole's label The Corner) were both released in 2014, both elevated by Dan Jugle's live-action knob-twisting and button-pushing composition inspired by sci-fi and comic books. Despite his early passing, Jugle's legacy lives on through his work and his passion for Midwest techno that his friends and fans still remember and carry. Lovingly wrapped up and presented to Acid Camp by Ken, these heaters are finally set free to move asses and minds.

ACR 003EP

Next up on Acid Camp Records is a record created by duo John Tejada and Justin Maxwell. The opening track, "I've Got Acid (On My Brain)" is a mind-bending wavetable freak-out. Using a vintage EMS vocoder to create an original vocal sample, this track is bright, playful, and vivacious. "The Name Rolls In" is layered in an acid playground of sounds. It's a distinctly groovy track with a potent 303 bass line, prominent percussion, and that infamous vocoder. "Field Notes" is a beatless, celestial arrangement carried through by tiers of sounds, filters, and noisier elements, creating an alluring sonic dreamscape.

ACR 002EP

Acid Camp Records is rolling through again with the atmospheric and cosmic-oriented tracks of Natan H. "Atmosphere" begins with layers of time signatures working in tandem. The oE-kilter drums grow towards a heavier climax. Techno serialist Conforce provides a remix. Through the use of filters, polyrhythms, and kinetic programming, Conforce lays a blueprint for driving techno. "Remote View Pt. I" is an ambient break, shifting gears to a place both ethereal and planetary. "Remote View Pt. II", again, breaks away from traditional timing by tracing layers of hi-hats, delayed strings, and synths that alternate throughout the arrangement in syncopation.

ACR 001EP

Acid Camp present their debut release, Simic's Corot-7b. The Seattle- based artist's full-length EP, features four tracks and a remix by John Tejada. The title track is moody, and brings an expansive, spacey vibe. Tejada remixes "Corot-7b" into a groovier, forward-moving track with a bassline that brings a bouncy and uplifting mood. "Sysop 1" opens with a catchy, quick-witted synth line that eventually draws in a light tempered shaker. "Expressway" is light and dreamy - a diverse ambient track that can be the perfect warm up or cool down with eloquent use of percussion: chimes, wood blocks, and bells.
