Ceephax Acid Crew - Slam Zone (Album) [Waltzer]

[Ocean Ye]

I have to admit this album is one of my favorite dance music albums of 2025. It features those exciting sound -- '90s Acid Techno & Acid House, Jungle House, Breakbeat Hardcore, along with some Euro Trance & Funky elements. More importantly, C.A.C. organizes them in a convincing way. I expecially appreciate its percussion arrangement. Some tracks constantly change rhythm and structure without feeling chaotic, and are even more impactful than Hardfloor's "Teebeestroica". The tight drum arrangement in the title track "Slam Zone" strongly reminds me of Aphex Twin's "To Cure A Weakling Child." Meanwhile, the album's sonic vibe has also been well-crafted.

BTW, the acid in "Waltzacid II" and the arp at the end of this track actually reminds me of some tunes by Art Of Trance -- they are vivid and natural.

You can ask me for a copy of lossless files.

he remains on the cool side of music. together with figures like 'Aphex Twin', 'Luke Vibert', and 'Squarepusher', he represents the creative force of the UK scene. I’ve been following him since 2007, when I discovered his track 'Dreamer' in a mix.. will check this release at the weekend..

Great to see Ceephax on TF. Wobbly acid with some fun chucked in. Always loved the artist name. For those of you who are not a) at least in your late 30’s and b) British, ‘Ceefax’ was a teletext service on TV that provided news, weather, sports results etc.
