Happy Sunday! Hope you’re all having a good weekend so far. <\/p>\n

For me, not so good, really, as I’ve been laid low with a cold (boo-hoo), which meant that yesterday I didn’t, as planned, re-record the third edition of my Morally Diminished<\/a> series. I had a first go at it two weeks ago but after having listened to it for a bit I’ve decided that it could do with a slightly reshuffled tracklisting, because although the mixing was fine I thought the flow could be improved slightly. Since a gunked-up nose, a sore throat, and a fuzzy brain are not really conducive to chopping up funky techno, it’s been unavoidably delayed for at least another week or two.<\/p>\n

Even so, I didn’t want to get through the weekend without offering up something cool, so, following on from the great feedback about his Weirdo tribute mix<\/a>, I’m very happy to present all three volumes of Girdler Synthetic’s The Acid Roundabout series of London acid techno mixes. Since these mixes are available elsewhere as single mp3’s, I’ve put up links to them, but I’m hosting the zip packs of chopped tracks for your own audio pleasure, plus I’ve provided covers and cue files.<\/p>\n

<\/a>As with my own Squat Rocking<\/a> mixes, these are unashamed tributes to the pop-pupilled madness of the London free party scene, pure firing 303 rave mayhem – definitely not the kind of music Simon Cowell will be featuring on his new dj talent show!<\/p>\n

Which, of course, is a big part of what makes it so good – this is not music that makes compromises for mass appeal.<\/p>\n

If you like these mixes, make sure you check out the new Penguin Conspiracy album, Machines of Love and Grace<\/a><\/i> (right).<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
