Review: This is Chris Moss' follow up to his 2015 release on Don't and follows a similarly acid-heavy approach. On the title track there's a maniacal giggle that unravels over rough kettle drums and a primal grinding rhythm. There's a similar aesthetic at play on "DP Acid" with wild 303 tones surging over Chicago house rhythms. The UK producer ramps up the intensity on "Pumped Up MF" where air raid sirens hurtle in over Armani-style kicks - exactly the kind of track that label boss Jerome Hill would play. Moss ends the release with "Elektra" a moody electro workout led by a prowling sub-bass.
Review: 2014 was a strong year for Bournemouth-based Chris Moss, who returned to Jamal Moss's Mathematics Recordings imprint for the first time in seven years. Here, he brings his acid-heavy blends of house and techno to Holland's Shipwrec for an EP of drum machine-driven dancefloor jams. The bouncy, loose and funky "Phantacy" sets the tone, with trippy vocal samples wrapping themselves around wigglin' acid lines and sweaty TR-909 percussion. There's a touch of the Like Vibert about the heavy and intoxicating acid freak-out "Let Me Feel It", while the wild "Acid Tronic" sounds like a tribute to hardcore-era rave rollers. "The Grin" explores similar territory, coming on like a long lost 808 State track from their "Newbuild" era.
Review: In case you didn't know, Chris Moss Acid is a dude from Bournemouth who makes music strictly on old Roland synths and drum machines, and not surprisingly, centering this passion for acid around the TB-303! After releasing on Jamal Moss' Mathematics and Net Lab, among others, Moss Acid turns up on Don't with these four new dancefloor drillers! "Acid 209" is a pretty straight affair featuring one mother of a kick, while "Shake Your But To The 101" sounds sits somewhere between big beat and breaks. "247 House" blasts out the squelching acid good and proper - alongside a pretty menacing artillery of analog percussion - and "The Acid That Ate Bournemouth" goes in for the kill with it's totally manic sonics and dancefloor mechanics. What a beast!
