#14 Feat. New Releases in DJ Tools

Known for his pivotal role in the Acid Techno sub-genre revival through his label, Involve Records, Regals latest work revisits the genres essence while infusing it with a fresh, modern twist. Under his ACIDBOY alias, his latest album, The Final Chapter, is a nostalgic and forward-looking expression of an artist who has grown and adapted but remains true to his core musical identity. This eleven-track project blends the high-energy sounds that first defined his career with the depth and maturity gained over years of evolution whilst also honouring an unforgettable era of one of electronic musics boldest and most expressive sub-genres and artists. The Final Chapter is an album that goes against the current flow, bringing to light the sound of the sub-genres of Techno from the last 35 years. Its a clever balance between past and present, the old and new Regal aka ACIDBOY, emphasising his introverted artistic side, a lover of music and production as well as a story intended for a patient and cultured listener. The album defies superficial musical trends, offering a profound sonic experience that invites listeners on a deeper journey, far removed from the quick-hit tracks designed for social media. The name of this album and Regals previous EP The Last Summer certainly leaves room for interpretation as these might sound like signs of a farewell to the music scene.
