Plank &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Plank-Acid-Wars\/release\/20134\">Acid Wars<\/a> (Important)<\/p>\n<p>Happy New Year!<\/p>\n<p>This mix was done a few weeks back before I appeared at Griessmuehle in Berlin&#8217;s Neukoelln district. I was playing the last set, starting at 8 am and going through to the finish, which ended up being at 10:45 am. It was great! I went to bed in the evening, woke up early, went to the club and had a chat with the man like Mejle before a little dance and getting started.<\/p>\n<p>This mix, therefore, was a bit of a preview for my set, although at that time of the day you can&#8217;t really go as fast as this mix ends up going!<\/p>\n<p>The idea behind this mix was to showcase a variety of old skool acid sounds, gradually building from the low 130&#8217;s up to 150+ bpm blazing acid techno &#8211; a similar formula to one I have explored in the past with mixes like <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2013\/04\/pearsall-presents-slaves-to-the-silver-box-acid\/\">Slaves to the Silver Box<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2011\/09\/pearsall-presents-beyond-the-valley-of-the-acid-vixens-new\/\">Beyond the Valley of the Acid Vixens<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2008\/08\/pearsall-presents-the-waveform-cult\/\">The Waveform Cult<\/a>. I also wanted to be sure that this mix contained a real mix of styles and artists, from bona fide acid legends like Josh Wink, Emmanuel Top, DJ Misjah, and DJ ESP to lesser-known 303 excursions from dance superstars like The Prodigy and Moby (under his Voodoo Child alias) to curious like an acid remix (by Exar) or Dave Clarke&#8217;s almighty techno classic Protective Custody or the simply awesome Quartz by Scottish bouncy techno legends Bass-X, which awesomely combines banging acid with old skool rave stabs.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a proper journey, but one worth taking.
