Swinging Flavors #15: Ac1d Vicious & Samurai Breaks
Milan-based Beat Machine Records is proud to present the fifteenth chapter of its iconic Swinging Flavors series, starring Ac1d Vicious—a brutalist force in underground jungle and acid rave—backed with a high-speed remix from specialist Samurai Breaks.
The Concept: Hardware Chaos & Club Experiments
This release continues Beat Machine Records' mission to highlight forward-thinking club music rooted in global underground culture, with a sharp focus on physical formats and hybrid rhythms. Capturing both the nostalgia of old-school warehouse violence and the momentum of cutting-edge club experiments, Swinging Flavors #15 forms a high-pressure 7” vinyl release where tempo and texture are weapons, and the dancefloor is a war zone.
Tracklist & Dynamics
• Side A - "Screamer" (Original Mix): A hardware-driven sonic assault by Ac1d Vicious that draws from 90s breakbeat chaos and acid techno ferocity. Distorted amen breaks collide with tortured 303 riffs, arranged on glitchy gear with no safety nets. Every snare slices through, every bass stabs deep—it’s raw, unstable, and unapologetically intense. • Side B - "Screamer" (Samurai Breaks Remix): The B-side flips the script with Samurai Breaks’ signature footwork‐meets-jungle rework. Twitchy, fast-paced, and percussively scattered, his remix injects hypermodern energy while preserving the original’s rave DNA.The Swinging Flavors Legacy
Following acclaimed releases by artists like DJ Sofa, Ornette Hawkins, and naco, Ac1d Vicious marks a new evolution for the Swinging Flavors series, cementing its status as a launchpad for uncompromising electronic music.
