Vienna-based producer and 303 maestro Tin Man returns to Acid Test for his first
solo EP for the label in over 5 years. It's another impeccable oukng of romankc acid
variakons, especially tailored for unforgedable dancefloor revelakons.
 Tin Man has been serng the pace for forward-looking acid lovers for close to two
decades now, and on his 15th Acid Test appearance he takes the vibe back to early
and proto-house roots, stripping back the musical elements while layering in the
euphoria with four perfectly crajed slices of feelgood 303.
 Opening track Hidden Acid already sounds like a long lost classic, with strings draped
over bouncy acid and motorik drums, stretching out over nearly nine minutes, and
beaukfully capturing the feel of house music circa 1991. Swaying Acid comes in all
propulsive, toms and congas serng the foundakon for melodic acid lines to weave
through your heart strings.
 On the B Side, Running Acid is fully opkmized for the autobahn fast lane - a gradual,
slow-filtered acid meltdown that builds and releases in tandem with driving hats and
vaporous pads that hang over the track like early morning mists. Wrapped Up Acid
brings the EP to a firng close, slowing the tempo for a low-key easy dance excursion
par excellence - smooth yet spikey 303 riffs punctuate the chords that drij through
with a hint of Badalamenk in the progression.
 With the Hidden Acid EP Tin Man might hark back to more vintage kmes, but the
emokve power is as strong as ever. The naivety of the ‘90s is instead replaced with a
convickon behind the musical choices that brings even more weight to the
heartwarming vibes. This is acid in some of the best shape it's ever been, enhanced
and upgraded specifically for the dance.
