Robin Ball: “My Favorite Acid House Classics”
Robin Ballâs Memory Box builds on the success of early releases with a big new outing that features two of his own tracks and one from the legendary Luke Vibert.
Memory Box is a party that has hosted Derrick Carer, Trevino and A Guy Called Gerald among others, and is a place to hear proper acid house. Ball himself is a master of the genre and most often released on his own Groovepressure label, having been making music since his teens. Now his latest labour of love is once again reaffirming his status as a vital voice in the UK scene.
Luke Vibert has a rich history that makes him a key part of the UKâs dance counterculture over the last 30 years. His always animated music is wild and inventive and comes on greats like Mo Wax, Warp and Planet Mu. Here he offers âX to Câ, a wild melange of warped synth tones, grizzled basslines & acid flashes. It will twist and turn the dance floor inside out.
These are three devastating club cuts that expertly draw on the past, present and future of acid. In occasion of this release, we asked Robin Ball to share his all-time favorite acid house classic.
