#28 Feat. Staff Picks in Techno (Peak Time / Driving)

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. The first single The Final Chapter is a hard-hitting Acid Techno mayhem, characterized by an iconic 303 melody developing throught the track that brings the whole room to shake. This album is 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.
