luv022 Makin' Cash Money

Makin’ Cash Money

this 15 year old mixtape of robot rock is a tornado of electro techno 8-bit acid breaks from the mind of a 10 year old raver under the influence of multiple layers of madness, barely keeping it together while escaping into he night.

we’ve come a long way, maybe

exploring the Record Canyon the other day i slipped into a deep, dark chasm full of slowly oozing abstract house grooves and strains of rarefied robot rock. i was down there for just over an hour but with help of my trusted trio of Technics i was able to mix my way out.

luv303 Drop Acid Not Bombs

Drop Acid Not Bombs

in 1982 a simple bass synthesizer with built-in sequencer called the Roland TB-303 Bass Line was released to the public. initially marketed to guitarists as bass line accompaniment for solo practice. only 10,000 units were manufactured. in the mid to late 80s a new wave of pioneering dance music producers discovered that by stressing and finessing the 303 a new world of groovy sound was opened up to them; resulting in the creation of acid house and the future of dance music. this is acid.
