“‘Acid Trax EP 2’ extends a simpatico creative relationship between Long x Thaemlitz extant since the first volume of ‘Long Trax’ emerged nearly a decade ago. Like those volumes, and their 1st Acid Trax hook-up, the two sides offer a contrast of dry and fleshly textures and approaches to the OG late ‘80s phenomena that spread from Chicago to NYC, UK and Europe and really never left dancefloors since.

Will Long takes over 11 minutes to coax his machines into hypnotic permutations of sizzling 909 x 303 piquancy in a mode patently inspired by the likes of Phuture’s incessant ur-acid template and the trippy lucidity of early Plastikman.

DJ Sprinkles’ ‘All Alkalis Are Bases but All Bases Are Not Alkalis’ remix locates a warmer space inside the groove, adding keys and sensitively dubbing out its elements in a much slinkier sexier fashion, accentuated with purring square bass and teasing drums that beckon you right inside for the duration.” -Boomkat
