Acid Jazz

Acid Jazz is a British label that was established in 1987 by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson. Although Peterson left in 1989 to form Talkin' Loud, the label continued to thrive under the management of Dean Rudland. The name 'Acid Jazz' was a playful response to the popular 'acid house' movement of the late 80s. Despite its name, Acid Jazz produced records that were not necessarily jazz or acid music, but they quickly became synonymous with 90s style and sophistication. In fact, the term 'acid jazz' began being used to describe any record with a similar vibe. Today, Acid Jazz remains an influential force in the music industry.

Back In Stock

In 2013 Matt Berry released his second album on Acid Jazz. Kill The Wolf introducing progressive music, ‘70s pop and psychedelic experimentation for a critically acclaimed album, establishing him as a musician in his own right. The original release plan saw a short run of a direct-to- consumer box-set, pressed in a run of 300 copies that has inevitably become a sought after rarity since. For the album’s tenth anniversary, special edition deluxe versions make these tracks available – in some formats for the very first time. The gatefold double LP features the original album on the first disc and all of the exclusive material on a specially compiled second LP. The record itself mimics the original album’s blood-splatter appearance. A unique CD includes all of the tracks from the original album, followed by selected bonus tracks.&nbsp;
