- If Dynamo Dreesen and SVN have a signature as Dresvn, it's a knack for woody percussion with a peculiar funk. You'll hear it on the nine-minute A1 from Acido 25. Its first 40 seconds are beatless, allowing a cunning looped sample to set the mood before the first signs of rhythm. As glistening organic elements coalesce, you might wonder whether it's the prettiest track ever released on Acido. But a shift arrives with the introduction of those wooden drums: Dresvn lock into an extended passage of tunnelling percussion and a mesmerising six-note refrain. It's quietly intense in the way their best tracks are. Not quite house, not quite techno. Just Dresvn.
After some recent lauded SUED outings, SW. joins Dresvn on the B1 for his second Acido appearance. It begins in nondescript fashion as knackered drum machine rhythms try to cut through surface interference and tape hiss. Just when you begin to wonder if they can keep this going for eight minutes, thick vapour envelops the track, creating a spectral and dramatic beauty. A shrill note plays throughout the B2, acting as chilling backdrop while Dresvn treat bizarre tones with spangled delay.
