Blind Test: 90s Techno / Acid Edition Part Two - Episode 33 (Electronic Beats TV)

In this new episode of our widely treasured Electronic Beats TV Blind Test series, we dive back into the depths of Acid Techno. Building upon the success of our previous 90's Techno 303 Edition Blind Test, we proudly present part two, this time with a playlist curated by Oliver Bondzio from Hardfloor.
Joining us is none other than two-time Blind Test winner and Sonic Groove boss Adam X, the UK based Hydraulix founder, D.A.V.E. The Drummer, Stefan Robbers, one half of the Dutch duo Acid Junkies, Tel Aviv’s Dasco, Clone Records main man Serge and last but not least, Spanish powerhouse Alienata.
Please note that this video is not filmed in real time. It’s edited to create some tension so that you in front of the screen can guess as well. It doesn’t say anything about how fast the participants recognised the track etc.
All contestants receive one point for both artist and title correct, but only half a point if they can only guess the artist or the title.
Production: Sense Music & Media for Electronic Beats TV
Idea, Recordings and final Track selection: Holger Wick

After every episode of Blind Tests I have to explain to my wife why another box of records is in the mail... Thank you, Telekom Electronic Beats ♥♥♥

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Good luck 😂

Discogs merchants watch blind tests and increase prices, don't fund their retirement.

[@keahifhp]

Adam X is an OG. Watching that dude crush this puts a huge smile on my face.

[@jmp01a24]

Oldskool DJ. Probably got an insane record collection of obscure stuff.

[@senorchaos]

The guy owned and operated the legendary Sonic Groove record store in NYC forever. He's a walking encyclopedia of techno. I knew as soon as he was included in this lineup, there was no one to match him. Get his brother Frankie in the mix if you really want to see two music heads battle it out!

[@kleitiashqarri6046]

Adam is the one! I had some party where he played and there were few people around but the music was Ace!

[@mechkalito]

Smashed it

[@benjamingarton6216]

absolutely. he's such a crate digger and his passion for the music is palpable.

[@kw7865]

You get 15 minutes of educational entertainment for free and still some people find something to complain about. Thanks to all the DJs/artists who participated .

[@stefanfalkpetersen1376]

Adam X is a living encyclopedia of electronic music. And he always has some crazy stories up his sleeve. This brilliant dj should really have his own chanel on Electronic Beats!

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

How much did he pay you? 😂

[@stefanfalkpetersen1376]

@@ElectronicBeatsTV Not enough! 😉

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

He is worth every penny

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

To be honest, he kindly stepped in because we couldn't find a sixth person for this blind test.

[@Atricapilla]

[@jdaddyaz]

How cool would it be to get Adam X, Luke Vibert, and the other top scorers of these Blind Test in a type of Champions League playoff series. Man that would be amazing.

[@effext1]

Adam X is amazing. Even when he doesn’t know the track he can still figure out the artist or label. He’s one of the best out there and I was lucky enough to get to hear him and his brother DJ almost every weekend in and around New York during the early 90’s

[@HenryCullenDaveTheDrummer]

Great fun doing this, crazy how hard it is to even recognise the easy ones once you are there, but still it's fun and I really enjoyed hearing some great music I didn't know, big ups to everyone involved.

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

It was great fun with you!

Acid did die with lsd users! 😂 Nah… these beats rocks! 😂😂 Aciiid! You can be dead and these beats still get you…

[@stevehandford5530]

Love the blind tests. I have no idea about many of the genres, but love peoples passion and general nerdyness and the ability to tell you where they bought it, when, what the label looks like, where it is in their collection and the first time they played it.

[@rodolphefontaine6750]

The crazy thing about electronic music is that a track created in 1990 with the technical resources of the time still sounds as good in the age of artificial intelligence, and a good piece of acid music still makes you dance in your chair.

[@shubhamshastri6254]

Adam X reminds me of Prof. Andy Pavlo so much. Those who listen to acid techno and do database engineering would know exactly what I mean by that. He is the only other person who would say - "this record damaged me" Cheers Adam, I will see you in NY soon!

[@mr2gti]

Adam X nailed it!!! The man knows his Acid!

[@MagnificientMusic]

Shout out to Oliver for the great selection and big up to Adam X for once again nailing the blind test. Definitely not an easy one but it was so great to discover some more obscure early 90s acid tracks. Will also spend some time on discogs and snatch a few before the price rises...

This playlist introduced me to a ton of awesome new tracks, as is tradition with these blind tests. Thanks for filming/editing/producing, and hat-tip to Mr. Bondzio for the curation! Got a lot of 303 to chew on for the rest of the week, that's for sure. Cheers!

Great episode once again! As a side hustle from these, it would be awesome to get a studio walkthrough from a couple of these guys - their setups look amazing!

I sat down here thinking "finally a video I'll score well on" and I feel for Dasco cuz I was totes underwater this one! XD What a great set, and what a lovely bunch you put together! Adam X is the guru for sure. What a guy. These are my favorite videos, love you folks for these

[@leozebiosthor6242]

I played with Henry a few times back in the day... I remember this one particular rave we were playing, and mind you, I was spinning house, banging house from the late 90's and Henry was up after me. When he arrived in the booth, he said hello and told me that it was one of the best sets he heard in years, and it was because I was 'locked in', in a trance spinning state... To this day, it was probably the best compliment I ve ever heard.

[@jdaddyaz]

Dasco just like us. Vibing out and happy to be apart of it. 🤘

I was too young for the days of Caffeine (and I had only moved out to LI in 96 when I was 16), but many of my olde friends would always regale me with stories. Caffeine still sort of exists. It’s now a DJ academy operating out of the back of iDJNow (formerly Abracadabra).

Me this morning: Hooray, new blind test! Yes - Acid! Might get some this time! 2nd track starts, I immediatly recognize it and even know the title: I REALLY might know several this time! Turns out, I don't. Funny though I just added Plasmids to my playlist just a few days ago. 😂 But not sure yet how many will find their way there this time. Not all of them, wasn't my favourite kind of acid.

We have already published two 90s trance blind tests. It's almost always about a decade, not 2-year periods with the exception of the UK Hardcore Blind Test.
