ASD 029EP
|
LA legend John Tejada and acid innovator Tin Man (Johannes Auvinen) follow their 2016 collaboration, the LA-inspired Acid Test 10, with a 12" inspired by Auvinen's hometown (and Tejada's birthplace), Vienna. Acid Test 12's four songs were mixed down live to two tracks without a DAW or multitracking. The tense drum workout of "Railjet" opens the record before Auvinen sculpts his 303 into near-pizzicato form on "Bim," one of the duo's most memorable tracks. "Danube Nights" blends widescreen acid lines, a pensive lead, and melancholy chords as the drums roll along, tough enough for a heaving floor with a hint of fragility for the headphones.

ASD 026EP
|
LA-born Vienna resident Tin Man (Johannes Auvinen) and Vienna-born Angeleno John Tejada present a four-track journey through the highways of Los Angeles. Opener "Swiftbox" is a perfect amalgam of Auvinen and Tejada's respective styles, with its tremulous 303, complex minor key melodicism, and deconstructed stabs. "Diamond Lanes" is another muscular acid cut with subtle, swinging percussion, layering widescreen pads and jacking snares, reimagined as a skeletal electro roller in Achterbahn D'Amour's remix. Closer "Deep Traffic" is a bugged-out acid cut that captures the feeling of sitting alone in a crowd of cars crawling toward eternal sunset.
