Record of the Week

Alinka - Numbers [Rekids]

Alinka returns to Radio Slave's Rekids for a new three track EP. Numbers brings robotic vocals, bright leads, and bouncing basslines together for a sharp and energetic tune.

Classic of the Week

Jean Jacques Smoothie - 2 People (Mirwais Extended Mix) [Echo]

Classic from Jean Jacques Smoothie, with Mirwais upping the acid during the breakdown on the remix. Definitely one on the funkier, more soulful end of the Acid spectrum.

One More

Serge Santiago - Ear Racer [Jack Said What]

Propelled by a burbling topline that bounces around like a ball on a bagatelle board, ‘Ear Racer’ contains some peeps for the whistle posse, piano house chords to ignite a dancefloor, and a couple of dreamy, swirly breakdowns. The track is well named — it’s not so much an ‘earworm’ as an ‘ear racer’, providing electric impetus to transport you elsewhere.

Gig of the Week

Acid Boner at King's Dundee - Saturday 3rd December

Dundee's bad-boy of bass is back behind the decks in The Small Town Club for another all-night Acid face-melter!

Spinning a strictly all-vinyl selection of Disco Italo, Chicago House, Electro, Hi-NRG, Techno, IDM, Old-School Jungle & everything Acid, together with his hardware set-up for some Live Acid, to work you into that sweaty "taps aff" ecstasy-fuelled rave frenzy that is now synonymous with the name Acid Boner.
