Acid Washed consists of Richard d’Alpert and Andrew Claristidge two childhood friends who became talented producers and have now signed on Record Makers of Paris, France. They claim they're a two-man process primarily, deteriorating sound amongst souvenirs, friends, home studios and analogue equipment. The result is a fusion of late nineties filter house and DFA disco anthems that acknowledges the influence of Chicago and Detroit without being overly reverential. Throw names like Steve Reich, Giorgio Moroder into the hat as well if you like, but don’t dwell on them. Cosmic tunes for the party tonight. Collaboration is the key to Acid Washed; the list of big-name players involved is set to run and run. Labels and artists involved currently: Xaver Naudascher & Gavin Russom (Death From Abroad/Supersoul/DFA), Lippie (Because Music Publishing), Christian Kreuz (Get Physical), Arnaud Rebotini/Blackstrobe, Turzi (Record Makers), Barbara Panther, Alan Gay, Christophe Chassol (Sébastien Tellier, Phoenix), King of Kong (Max Skiba & Artur 8). The party’s only just getting started. Their new EP is expected next year
