Low End Activist pays homage to murky rave party history on new Peak Oil cassette | Juno Daily
Where were you in 92? Most likely listening to DJSS at Waterstock
Low End Activist, best known for running and recording for the excellent Sneaker Social Club label, has announced a new, cassette album for American label Peak Oil.
The album, titled Airdrop and released on April 12, is a homage to the countryside sites of various raves that he visited in his formative years, from Waterstock – scene of a legendary DJ SS set at the rave Mythology that circulated for years in tape form – to White Horse Hill in Uffington, between Swindon and his native Oxford.
Described as “a nine-track suite of skeletal hardcore, pointillist drum n bass, and deprivation chamber dub, chopped and brewed in homage to the countryside sites of golden age dance gatherings,” the album takes influence from Tango & DJ Ratty, Top Buzz, DJ SS, DJ Seduction and Dr S Gachet. We detected more than a hint of LFO in there too.
