Illegal Rave Tapes Selektion - 1999-2012

Dance Data (DDR003)

1x Vinyl LP Album

Release date: Feb 27, 2024, US

Hauntological rewinds to ‘90s hardcore jungle and acid by John Lee Richardson’s Acrelid, harvested from some 13 years of works produced at his parents’ gaff in discreet isolation and tipped if yr into Caustic WIndow, Ceephax, Remarc.

Produced in parallel to his ‘Hatcliffe House’ tape series, the 15 cuts of ‘Illegal Rave Tapes Selektion – 1999 – 2012’ chart highlights of a much larger series of archival productions that emerged over the past decade. They variously dial up aspects of classic Warp and Rephlex thru a smudged lens of intrigue shared with likes of Stonecirclesampler (and related projects), Christoph De Babalon or more acutely Moon Wiring Club, who also uses a similar set-up of Music 2000 software on Sony Playstation, with some Yamaha DJX II keyboard chops for good measure.

For just over an hour the set prods imaginations and limbs to dance between the skitter, brittle-boned breaks and blushing AFXian pads of ‘Right There’ to the noisy free party tekno throb of ‘Pelt’. There are canny lines to be drawn with Christoph De Babalon in the murky clack of ‘what is this thing?’ or ‘The Twilight Zone (Music 2000 Mix)’, while he makes eyes at Squarepusher in the amen splicing and harmonic jangle of ‘Vebus’. The lush jungle of ‘Pure Knowledge’ hits a high point, as do the the psychoactive hardcore acid breaks of ‘It’s Not a Matter of Belief’ and an ace collage of voxpops by Mancunion ravers set to gurgling acid and Jega or Astrobotnia-like acid.
