15 Years Of Dame Music Vol 1 vinyl

Celebrating a fifteen-year journey, this Berlin label - founded by a producer, DJ and live act Bloody Mary - has become a cornerstone for the acid techno community, revolving around its founder's deep connection to the sound which, while born in the 80s, continued to shape techno in the 1990s. As a Tresor resident and advocate of the scene's roots, her influence has brought together a few of the most iconic artists in the sound to help create a compelling acid-driven compilation. Opening the release is 'Days Off Buzz' from Mainz-based Thomas P Heckmann - best known for his 'Amphetamine' anthem - which proves to be a powerhouse track brimming with intensity and dark energy, the driving acid lines and thumping rhythm definitely echoing to his legendary role in shaping the genre. Next, the founder herself delivers 'Fractal Waves', a perfect blend of breakbeat textures and reverberating 303s, capturing a classic acid vibe with a fresh twist. On Side-2, E-Bony's '303 Elements' taps into mid-90s rave nostalgia with swirling acid layers and hypnotic momentum, nodding to early pioneers while carving its own path. Hardfloor close the compilation with 'I'll Never Own A Helicopter', where their signature intertwined 303s create a dazzling interplay of rhythm and melody, embodying their status as acid legends. Rooted in history yet pushing boundaries, this collection exemplifies why the label remains essential to the techno landscape.
