Nina Kraviz Announces 20th трип Release Featuring Aphex Twin, Biogen, PTU, Universal Indicator, and More
'Don't Mess With Cupid' will land on July 20.
The 20th release of Nina Kraviz‘ трип imprint comes in the shape of Don’t Mess With Cupid, a various artist compilation featuring works from Aphex Twin, Biogen, PTU, Universal Indicator, and more.
The release is intended as a “homage to some of the most uncompromising manifestations of electronic music imaginable.” It traces sub-cultures from the ’90s until now and aims to interrogate the boundaries of tempo and form via hardcore, gabber, acid techno, and ambient. It features a mix of unreleased material and “essential gems” from трип regulars, esoteric masters, and newcomers.
The 10-track release includes “15 c7” by Universal Indicator, a ’90s project from Aphex Twin and Mike Dred. Hardcore legend Marc Acardipane also contributes a cut as Pilldriver.
We’re told that all of the tracks have been selected around a particular story, a trip, and presented as a continuous sonic landscape. All of the tracks are structured in a way that they can be mixed one with another an endless amount of times making a continuous loop, or a trip.
