The ‘Short Cut’ EP is the latest fruits of their labour, released on Dense & Pika’s ever consistent Kneaded Pains label. Lead track ‘Bob’ cuts up some gnarly lead lines with an ardent rhythm and drifting atmospherics, whilst ‘C Ex’ jacks out some crunchy funk over an industrious 909 beat as waves of elated pads wash in an old school flavour. A hypnotising percussive house rhythm, not too dissimilar to the classic ‘House Of God’ by DHS, build the foundations of ‘Not The Time’, as a raw Chi-town groove is shaped and pulverized with a seductive vocal loop.

We premiere ‘Not the time’ on our NUDE Techno channels, check it out here and grab it here.

Queer on Acid is a production, party and DJ outfit from Riga, Latvia. They are focussed on raves, queer culture and acid while making peak time tunes for dark and sweaty club spaces. They have their own label and have had high-profile support from Laurent Garnier, DJ Bone & Chris Liebing. After outings on Ovum and Amber Muse they are now back on Takeout with more essential sounds.

There is a heavyweight dub feeling to the lo-fi, gritty house of ‘Giv Ya Luv.’ It’s detailed with frosty synth stabs, soulful female vocals and darker words from a male voice that is lost in the mix. After that is the powerful ‘Motto’ with big, swinging drums and shadowy bass. Rave sirens rise up and down the scale, prickly acid twitches pepper the groove and coarse claps add further texture to this classy banger. Completing the EP is ‘Layer 1,’ a bubbly warehouse cut with big sound design, infectious, syncopated claps and tripped out chords that bring the futuristic soul.

This excellent EP is further proof that Queer on Acid has a uniquely characterful sound. We premiere ‘Giv Ya Luv’ on Data Transmission, check it out here and grab it here.

Two old friends and partners from Riga who discovered house music back in the 1990s decided to form a project and record label with a hooligan title – “Queer on Acid”. It’s about gay culture and electronic music to which they belong.

“As electronic music fans, DJs and party animals, we met, obviously, in an underground club in Riga almost 20 years ago. One day we were fooling around and made those two tracks that reminded us of big warehouse parties we used to rave. Then we’ve suggested why not to make another project and label out of this with a funny name? So, Queer on Acid was born!” fellas say. “We run another record label Amber Muse, but as soon as the new stuff is quite different from what we put out there, we wanted not to stir everything together and not to influence the natural course of events.”

“We don’t take it all too serious as you can see from the name of the project. Dance music was born in LGBT communities, and it’s always been about unity and a lot of fun, so you can take it as a manifesto to LGBTQ freedom too, with a nod to dance music roots. We also thought that we want to travel more and to meet new people. The music is the best way to make new connections and friends, isn’t it?” they continue.

The first Queer on Acid “Drama” EP contains two warehouse ready cuts: “Bed Drama” and “Rusty Nails”. We premiere ‘Bed Drama’ for you today, and you can grab the EP from Here.
