I try to do these yearly at the start of the year but I never really got the chance to do one for 2024. Thanks to a gentle reminder from one of my patreons (Hi Nacho Lobo!) I finally carved out some time to put it together. A bit late but I reckon it's better than nothing at all, right? [insert Padme meme here]

The set will premier on YT at 15:00 CET today (2pm UK / 9am US EST) and will then go up on SoundCloud and MixCloud as well.

It's 2.5 hours of quality acid tracks (some on the trancier side) from artists such as Josh Wink, Kick.S, Paul Renard, 747, Alan Backdrop, Joey Risdon and labels such as Zodiak Commune Records, Communique Rec, Rephlex, Gain Plus, Acid Wizard Records and many more
