Acid Camp Podcast

Follow @cpowers In response to Acid Camp’s request for something "high energy”, I’ve sought to re-capture my set from the 2026 Pride edition of my club night "Trainwreck". Attendees of the now-infamous, possibly-legendary, "Trainwreck Crash Out Pride" party (July 2026 at Process PDX) will likely recognize this mix's intro: it sent many of you running for your lives - a cacophony of sounds getting...

When the Roland TB-303 was released in 1981, it was marketed as a substitute for a bass guitarist. It failed almost immediately. Years later, when secondhand units found their way into Chicago studios, producers discovered that pushing the machine beyond its intended limits produced something entirely different: a squelching sound that seemed less like an instrument and more like a living thing. T...

Contours brings together New York–based producers and DJs Abby Echiverri and Clay Wilson for a four-track 12” on Acid Camp. The record moves across acid house and techno, unified by a clear craft for pressure, pacing, and machine-driven tracks, with moments of restraint that hold up far beyond the dancefloor. Wilson opens the A-side with “Interdimensional Romance,” a science fiction workout that t...

Acid embodies both a playful and hypnotic spirit. Two qualities I think engage and light up a dance floor. In this mix I tried to strike a balance between tracks with interesting sound design, midwest flavoured techno groove and wack out acid lines! DJ Hockey loves music that is strange, beautiful, and energetic. By selecting tracks designed to stimulate both your brain and body, his sets slowly u...

Follow @djnaygod This techno-leaning mix traces a journey that began on Halloween Day when I broke my phone and found myself moving through fear, frustration, and ultimately gratitude. This vinyl–digital hybrid session was stitched together with intention and a little chaos. The first half leans into the mood of the day—haunting textures, shadow-heavy percussion, and a kind of horror-cinematic ten...

Follow @rik-vinegar + @tide-swing r.downstairs of Tide Swing has a new all vinyl mix featuring loopy techno, bleepy house, and much more.

“Seishin” is a focused, four-track EP from Fukushima-born, Berlin-based producer Shingo Suwa on Acid Camp. The title translates to “spirit,” and the record treats that idea as both a feeling and a relay: an original transmission from a time of quarantined isolation followed by responses from trusted collaborators. Clay Wilson contributes two versions: one a deep, tensile workout and the other a co...

Follow @scotia-xo This was recorded at home with some records I bought from Derek Plaslaiko, a few mp3s Kevin McHugh gave me, a bit of my own work, and some other prized tunes I've picked up along the way. I enjoy the interplay of crudity and liminal space in this music. When jointed together just right, it can paint a satisfying reflection of our world.

This is the first solo release by drummer and producer Jason Ganberg of the duo, Deep Dark Blue. Recorded and produced in Yucca Valley and Los Angeles California between 2022-2024.

Some of these tracks started with me recording grooves in my practice space on my...

Follow @ambrocenide I’ve been trying to play my records out a lot more lately. For the longest time, I only played records — I’ve schlepped vinyl from Mexico City to Singapore and every in between. I’ve had my ups-and-downs in my DJ career, but lately I started getting booked for bigger gigs. The people I was opening for — HorsegiirL, VTSS, DJ Assault — were traveling into town and playing CDJs, s...
