WINDY CITY : “Acid Wash/Acid Dry”!    

WINDY CITY’s latest release, Acid Wash/Acid Dry, is a masterful fusion of Italo disco’s sleek sophistication and acid house’s raw, pulsating energy. This two-track EP feels like stepping into a neon-soaked dimension where retro grooves collide with forward-thinking production.

The first track, “Acid Wash,” serves as an electrifying opener. Its infectious bassline commands attention while shimmering synth stabs add a shimmering, celestial quality. The layers of melody build hypnotically, intertwining with bubbling acid riffs that slither like liquid metal. The track balances its nostalgic nods with modern touches, resulting in a sound that feels both retro-futuristic and timeless.

“Acid Dry” takes a slightly darker turn, introducing a more stripped-back aesthetic. A driving rhythm section propels the track forward, with acid lines that twist and mutate in unexpected directions. The percussive elements snap with precision, providing a stark contrast to the airy, almost ethereal synth pads that hover in the background. It’s a journey into the late-night depths of the dancefloor, brimming with both tension and release.

The brilliance of this release lies in its ability to evoke imagery and mood without feeling overproduced. Each sonic detail, from the tactile textures to the gliding transitions, works together seamlessly. WINDY CITY clearly understands the roots of both genres while pushing their boundaries in fresh and imaginative ways.

For fans of nostalgic dance music reimagined with a contemporary edge, Acid Wash/Acid Dry is a must-listen. Whether you’re a seasoned raver or a newcomer to these genres, this release offers a vibrant, intoxicating experience that refuses to let go.
