Acid

Underground Resistance is the most militantly political outcropping of modern urban American techno. Combining a grubby, four-track aesthetic, an almost strictly DIY business philosophy, and an oppositional, militaristic ethos similar to Public Enemy without the drama (or the familiarity; the members refuse to be photographed without bandanas obscuring their identities), UR have redirected their portion of the Detroit techno legacy to social activist ends, trading mainstream popularity and financial success for independence and self-determination.

Syntheme is the moniker for the music of Global Goon performed by Louis Helena Wood. They have 3 EP’s on Planet µ Records (Vol.1, Vol.2 & Vol.3), and Lov3 from WeMe. There are other tracks available on her myspace page. Their new album "Lasers’n’shit" is out now on Planet Mu. Their works make heavy usage of sophisticated acid and bass lines upon solid drum sequences, ambient soft synth layers, and occasionally various heavily-edited audio samples. Syntheme brilliantly fuses very fresh minimal techno with the robust and harmonic foundation of mid-90’s acid.
