I love acid trance.
It’s great.
Really, I love it. A lot. And since I love it, I want you to love it.
Yes, you! You must learn to love acid trance! Or, well, your life won’t be complete (I promise).
But if you don’t know it, how can you love it?
Well, firstly, you can check out some of my own fine mixes:
Called To Valhalla
Eurotrash 3
Rampage Archives 1
Squat Rocking 1
They’re great! Honest …
Still not convinced?
Not to worry, I have a solution!
I’ll just give you some of my favourite acid trance mixes by other people, because, well, I live to give. 😉
All of these mixes were available commercially a loooong time ago, and are no longer in print, so I don’t think there should be any problem putting them up; however, if you are the copyright holder and/or the artist and would like them removed, just drop an email to pearsall@gmail.com and I will take them off. No need to sue!
For your enjoyment, I’ve put each of these up as zip files.
First up, I’ve got an awesome back-to-back mix from Billy ‘Daniel’ Bunter and Ramos. This mix was the second cd on Helter Skelter’s 1997 compilation Masters @ Work, and it features some of the choicest acid-infused trancecore ever made. Hard-hitting but undeniably great stuff.

Next up is a solo mix by Ramos, originally released in 1998 as part of the Off Yer Nut compilation. The other two cd’s were pathologically cheesy happy hardcore, but Ramos’ mix was the real deal. Threading the line beautifully between acid trance and acid techno, it’s a magical ride. One of my favourite acid mixes over the years … and I hope it will be one of yours, too!

Finally, here’s Frankie Bones’ awesome 1996 mix for United DJ’s of America. Brooklyn’s own Frankie Bones is one of the original American rave heroes, and, although he is usually better known as a house/techno dj, with this mix he showed he could hang with the hardest out there. It takes a little while to get going compared to the other two, but by the end it is full-power filthy acid.
Hard … dark … beautiful.
