Various Artists - Various III

Recording info

The 030303 crew come with a brand new various artist package in a beautifully designed sleeve to celebrate their 10th anniversary. While not all featured artist are new to 030303, the label mainly sticks to what it does best: digging up exciting new names from the raving underground. The smooth electronic tracks on the comp hold the middle ground between acid, IDM, braindance, early 1990s 808 State-esque UK acid house and Detroit techno. Among the highlights are Echo 106's eerie after hour acid jam 'Phosphor', 'Damp Patch' by Marco Bernardi which reminds us of classic Surgeon-style UK techno, Forma's 'Sailor" (reminiscent of Charanjit Singh's 'Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat'). Look no further if a versatile, subtle and beautiful acid compilation is what you're after.
