Raves are the endurance tests of electronic music. The blistering kick drums, the pulsating, detuned sawtooths, the disorienting smoke-filled rooms, the cuddle puddles…makes it all worth it when you emerge into the daylight of morning (or *gulp* early afternoon), and see the rest of humanity acting like responsible people.
Bogdan Raczynski brings us all the way back to the Wild Rave West with eighteen jittery, never-released tracks culled from his 90’s archives. A bit of a protege of Mr. Richard D. James himself, the Twin’s acid and breakbeat influence is all too present. True to Raczynski’s personality, these quirky tracks never take themselves too seriously, a fitting disposition for the age of rave’s prominence.
But enough outta me. Bawl your eyes out with an exclusive album premiere just below. And if you’ve still got dry eyes come April 5, grab the release (and some Kleenex) through Disciples. Now if only there was a way to get that sweet shirt…
