Mallorca Lee - Acid & Eve (2019)

Rave mainstay Mallorca Lee is back to celebrate 30 years of Acid House and Roland technology with his fourth solo album Acid & Eve. Some three decades on from the birth of acid house, this LP pays homage to the genre and equipment that is synonymous with its sound, 909, 808, 303 are more than just numbers to many. Mallorca sequenced and produced the entire album on these infamous machines, using only original Roland, Aira, and Boutique equipment for every sound on Acid & Eve. The album pulls you into a world of drum machines, basslines, strobes, and smoke machines to deliver Mallorca's take on Future Acid House which tackles the limitless highs and dangerous lows of dance music culture. Deep Inside see's Ross Ferguson back on vocals once again, along with a painstaking cover Frankie Bones & Jamie Principle classic Your Love. Tracks like Black Dog, Bear in the Black Black Hole, Substance Abuse tackle Addiction, Depression and Mental illness, topics most are scared to mention. This album is not just Happy Smiley, it's head down and twisted with an occasional paranoid glance to the future. 'This album is dedicated to Ikutaro Kakehashi, the creator of Roland Corp, Spanky and DJ Piere the creators of Acid House and Eggy Bam Yasi, my Acid House hero.'
