Spenza - acidQuest EP [vxnet001]

Vakant X seems to be some kind of special gift for fans of the straigth-minimal label Vakant. All stuff that does not fit the vinyl edition seems to be given to the web audience – which is a welcome playground for artists. Following the video works of Chris De Luca (one half of Funkstörung) and Spenza himself, the latter strikes back this time with pure digital madness: The first audio-only release on Vakant X is perfect IDM – hectic beats, disturbing noises, crazy sound morphing. According to the title, Acid has to be part of the program ("acidQuest") but for me feels like the weakest part of the EP. "antiStraight" uses Atari-like sounds while knowing to surprise with melancholic vibes towards the end. However, highlight of this EP surely is "rep eat": Starting sluggishly but developing into a sheer fireworks of Electronica.
