8 Tracks Of: Electro Meets Acid with Posthuman

 
Music

Josh Doherty and Rich Bevan are familiar faces amidst the outback of the London nightlife scene, together they collaborate under the guise of Posthuman – a unit which has reinvigorated acid house in the capital and brought new life into the genre.

Sweaty, moody, basement vibes are their first love and the I Love Acid club nights have become a staple of dance music in London. They also work tirelessly behind the scenes at Balkan Vinyl, a record label which they use to showcase the best in rough and rugged dance music having been responsible for releasing music by the likes of Mark Archer, Perseus Traxx, Cardopusher, Luke Vibert and many others. 

As a production outfit Posthuman is as robust and forward thinking as they come, analogue machinery and rugged material purpose built to bang the face off of a club. 

In recent times both electro and acid have seen a resurgence and it is very apt that these two are the ones to guide us through the very best…

LISTEN
Dez Williams - Interference Pattern

Flips between broken electro beats and 4-to-the-floor acid techno bizness, with a proper snarling 303 line that keeps shapeshifting throughout. Belter. Out on Bass Agenda.

  • Junq - From Below -Cultivated Electronics Ep 002

    Originally out on Cultivated Electronics, recently re-released on Art Mechanical with a load of different colours of wax
    This acid line is just incredible

  • Cignol - Final Approach

    My favourite track from my favourite release on Belfast imprint Computer Controlled.
    UR style sci-fi acid electronics. 12″ artwork is amazing too.

  • Silicon Scally Candensium

    Taken from a live show at Scand, this double 12″ from Carl Finlow is all live acid electro jams.
    This one is my current fave but that choice changes regularly, there’s 8 tracks in all to choose from.

  • Umwelt - Ruthless Order - Rave Or Die 05

    Out on Rave or Die, this is proper evil nightmarish acid electro at it’s finest
    The luminous green vinyl had another favourite artist of mine – Chris Moss Acid – on the flipside.

  • Luke Vibert - Analord

    So good, AFX stole the name. Luke’s Roland TB-303 is genuinely the best sounding 303 I’ve ever heard. No hyperbole.
    He manages to draw out such incredible, elastic, rubbery character from it – and so much funk.

  • Defekt - Acid Bounce

    On a split 12″ with Maelstrom on French imprint Tripalium’s “Acid Avengers” series
    All the releases from this series have the best fucking artwork ever (I was lucky enough to have two tracks on number 8)
    Only problem with this track is it’s too short!

  • Underground Resistance - The Final Frontier [Hd]

    This is THE defining acid electro track of all time. Those pads, unparalleled.
    My clubnight I Love Acid ran at a venue called Ginglik for 7 years, when it closed down this was the last track we played, and of the final night.
