AC2 (pronounced “Acidos” in Spanish) is the love child of Catalan Roser and Latvian-Catalan Igors. Founders of the secret hotline rave Gomorra and new regular DJs at Barcelona’s staple Razzmatazz & Moog, their enthusiasm for the culture and the craft, burning bright when performing, is highly infectious.
Ater their 2 entries in the House of (S)PUNK compilations, we proudly present NEOGENESIS, their debut EP inviting you deeper into their ass-kicking playful Neo Rave sound. More than just a new music genre built around a fast-paced hard dance dynamic mixing Hard House, early Hardcore, Acidcore and Trance, Neo Rave is a new unapologetic take on rave music whose blurry lines offer a lot of freedom to the artists affiliated with this new vision, breaking free from the industry’s sonic uniforms.
At its core tho, uniting them all, is a powerful fury that can be felt in the saturated sounds yet the release of this rage comes through high energy playful celebration. The fun-loving generosity and hard-hitting warmth of AC2’s NEOGENESIS EP is a prime example of Neo Rave’s turbulent eruption.
Starting off the EP is Bark & Loot, a cheeky yet furious, menacing yet celebratory scorcher created around a definite old school UK vibe sound in joyful rave stabs, Drum & Bass and Break inspired percussion work and prominence of the MC in the track energy. The “Give me the loot!” vocals, high velocity beats and Tokyo Drift cowbells take the heist escape metaphor to the max and us with them in this furious ride.
The chase continues with 404 Identity, an energetic trancy journey, both heavy and dynamic in its sound design and construction. Fluid groovy melodic cosmic sounds meet incendiary The Prodigy-type electro punk guitar riffs in a frantic hot pursuit, punctuated by fun percussive breaks moving it all forward.
Fantasy Fears shows AC2’s tender love for vocals in a new spin for them, a longer message-focused dreamier monologue taking us into an intimate confession of self-empowerment and hunger for life. In a slightly more restrained approach for them, the heavy-hitting relies on the kick solely as the acid line is here floaty and elegant, the stabs housey and light, the voice unapologetically romantic.
The closer Like a Pool Party is an ode to those happy restless sunny Barcelona afters, a joyful retro bouncy Hard House track dressed with a flourish of warm percussions and infused with the playful Trancey Acid spirit of outdoor summer rave mornings.
