DJ Misjah & Groovehead – Acid Energy EP

Review: Released under the Originals banner, Acid Energy EP is a sharp reminder of why DJ Misjah & Groovehead remain revered figures in acid techno history. Built around the driving force of “Digital Express,” the EP delivers raw, functional energy designed squarely for dark, sweat-soaked dancefloors. The title track’s rolling 303 lines twist and evolve with relentless intent, locked tightly to pounding kicks and hypnotic percussion. Rather than chasing nostalgia, the production feels timeless—stripped, focused, and unapologetically direct. The accompanying mixes reinforce the EP’s purpose: peak-time tools that reward DJs who value momentum and tension over excess. Subtle variations in filter movement and rhythm keep the tracks alive across long blends, while the mastering preserves their gritty edge. Acid Energy EP doesn’t attempt to reinvent acid techno; instead, it perfects its fundamentals. This is music that honors the genre’s roots while proving its continued relevance in modern underground techno culture.
