Newbuild

808 State

A foundational document of UK acid house recorded on recycled BBC tape. Squelching 303 lines and industrial grit create a cold, rhythmic paranoia.

Find on Amazon

The record where Manchester acid house was born on a pile of recycled BBC trash.

A cold, rhythmic paranoia that replaces the soul of Detroit with industrial Manchester grit.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless, interlocking 303 patterns on Flow Coma that create a sense of claustrophobic momentum.
The way the percussion on Dr. Lowfruit feels like it's fighting against the tape hiss of the recycled BBC reels.
The eerie, hollow space left behind by the silhouetting technique on Narcossa, where you feel the ghost of a removed sample.
