David Diagonal plays 4 TB303s, 2 TR909s, and anonymous analog keyboards. Audio and visual footage recorded live at MOPOD Studios late 2007, location unknown. Respect goes out to all acid renegades of the world.
Hopefully acid techno will make a comeback. Of all the genre's of electronic/dance currently in circulation-acid techno was the most innovative. If it weren't for acid techno's infuence, dance music wouldn't be what it is today. Of all the genre's in existance, it the purest and just plain BAD ASS music. This is coming from a DJ who missed the acid techno scene by a couple of years and have been lucky enough to discover it. Acid Techno producers give us a revival of ACID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great exploration of textures and sounds, it helps to be working with that amount of hardware but the results are there: richness, fulness, talent and passion. Excellent piece, acid brother.
I've been a DJ(progressive & nu skol breaks, progressive house, classic trance, ambient, & anything intelligent) for over 10 years. When I got into DJing, goa trance, electrohouse and, sadly, acid techno were on there way out. Of all the music I've listened, acid techno is the genre I've had the most respect for. Acid techno (the Pump Panel comes to mind) is the most visceral of all genres. It's not for faint of heart. Give me music with a 303 & 909-watch a dance floor get decimated.
I gave a video response called "chasing ghosts" , its a mix i've done of some good banging techno, the best thing about techno, pure techno djs is that we all stick together so we can continue to be the pillar and foundation for greater things , respect - Buddah
Great. Original. Definitely makes me feel what acid techno is all about.. I would do a lot to get to your performance. Keep up the good work. World needs real artists like you...
to be fair here in Arizona their is a small reemergence of Acid, last weekend we had Woody McBride pound our faces in and their is an all acid show in Paris this weekend, while all the lil kids are listening to commercial dance, the underground is collecting itself and going back to its roots, as long as their is one person left alive , playing it somewhere , we win, remember ACID never forgets never forgives and always BURNS
@DavidDiagonal If you sell one of your Roland! Tell us...these things are rare on the market and very hard to find. They still legendary for underground producer. Anyway you did a nice job!
Damn, good four or five years after hearing and seeing it for the first time, still makes me fly away. Especially displayed on the wall. Even more acid now.
absolutely mental acid tune! The video fxs just topped it off. I do agree with others that it would have been cooler to see more of you working the tracks. But Hey cant have everything!
It starts off warm and analogue, the beats build and flow though my 50mm drived headphones i twist the bass knob up and i can feel the fine hairs in my inner ear trying to cope with the hertz and the hairs on my arms stand on end. My heart rate now starts to rise, the 303 knob is slowly leaning to decay and my eyes are a blur, i am hunched over this forgotten to many tools of sound, The precise 4/4 Beat drops and drops heavy, weighing my eyes to a close, I AM AN ANALOGUE GOD.
I feel your pain mate, i was born in 94' and have turned 18 only last week, i fucking love techno / gabber / hardstyle / doomcore / acid techno and all things 4 to the floor and hard as fuck. Most genres people listen too at 'raves' these days is not a patch on the old styles. Worst im from the UK and dnb and dubstep is about all as alternative as it gets round here.
@onelovincriminal Ok, I will if there is a gig on :-) ... I travel far and wide to hear the music I like - and London is only a short flight away ! Where do they play it? any undergorund DJ's I can look up?
@Argiflex No, it has everything to do with the fact it is a DIY kit and the old original components are getting sparse (they come in batches if there is enough demand for it).
always drempt of being that person in the hoody... I was born 10 years to late, I would love for this stuff to come back, my generation sucks so much it hurts...
I come back to this display of wizardry year after year. I imagine Dave is in a well stocked bunker recording the entirety of the human construct in in 909/303 format. The language of nature is all here, in the golden proportion no less. Higher than a giraffes pussy, btw.
hah thats expensive! I was thinking about "propellaheads Reason" or even..... a 303 / 606 on my iPad? (I heard "rebirth" it the way to go) would be good to give it a shot though
