The Art of Acid Mixed By Justin Robertson
Renowned as one of dance music's most inspiring producers and DJs Justin Robertson has influenced countless acts over the years with his lauded Lion Rock & Revtone production guises and his eclectic DJ sets. Now, with a brand new compilation, The Art Of Acid, released through Harmless Records, Justin pays homage to all those that influenced and inspired him in his formative years on the dance-floor of the Hacienda during the nascent days of the Acid House scene.
Kicking off with the Miami Bass inspired Security from Beat Club, Justin wastes no time dropping legendary House pioneer, Farley's Give Yourself To Me which is swiftly blended into Willie Wonka's It's Now Or Never. The tribal chanting of Cultural Vibe's deep and raw Ma Foom Bey shows the first signs of how the genre would progress, as Justin drops a stone cold killer and a genuine milestone in music, Phuture's timeless Acid Trax, which set the 303 precedent that still prevails today. Fast Eddie's Chicago classic Acid Thunder takes things a little deeper still before Phuture return with their appositely titled We Are The Phuture, how right they were.

It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
