RIP Acid Girls

Greg Bowler and Jamie McNeil have sadly announced the end of Acid Girls this week, a name that has been all too familiar with electronic music fans and music blog followers in general for the past 5+ years. For those of you who need schooling, Acid Girls originated as a DJ/Production duo in tandem with one of the few early Music Blogs that influenced many other like minded and enthusiastic music lovers (myself included) to do the same and in process help revolutionize the way people discover, listen and obtain music. Sadly their discography never grew as big as their reputation as DJs, but to end the era they are giving away a sort of Album That Never Was to say goodbye. Acid Girls content and mixes aren't hard to find on the web, so Ill leave you with a link to their 'RIP Acid Girls' collection, and a personal favorite. RIP Acid Girls.

Introducing: Glass Actor

Greg Bowler better known as 50% of Acid Girls has recently been taking his production duties solo with some very impressive tracks under his new Glass Actor moniker. Production is obviously top notch and this project allows him to stray further afield, dabbling with musical components from other genres, he wouldn't necessarily have had the chance to investigate under the Acid Girls label. Check out my 3 choice picks below and head over to his Soundcloud to download more brand new tracks.

Switch Returns

Not that he's been away, but he has been too busy with all that Major Lazering recently. To long time readers, this will come as no surprise, but I'm a huge Switch fan, so I was absolutely delighted to see a brand new remix crop up thanks to good pals Discodust this week. As part of the latest Scion AV release Switch has remixed 'The Fall' by The Toxic Avenger, with one damn right cheeky bitch of a teaser. This track simply builds and builds, only to drastically fall back to its basics and take you on that ride up yet again, with a personally welcome sound that is reminiscent of some of Dave Taylor's earlier grooves from his Solid Groove days. Acid Girls are also along for the ride providing more electro grooves and enough cowbell to suffice on B-side track 'любовь навсегда'.
