With the decade about to end I am very excited to share with you a special and very personal project - I call it 30x3, and it is my attempt to make sense of my decades-long relationship wit the Roland TB-303, the fabled acid box synthesizer that has soundtracked so much of my life.

30x3 is three mixes, each with 30 tracks, each dedicated to a different chapter in the story of how electronic musicians have utilized the Roland TB-303. I will be presenting the next two chapters over the following Mondays.

This first mix in the series is thus a celebration of that raw 90's acid techno sound - that pounding synthesis that reverberated around raw warehouse spaces from Detroit to Berlin to London to New York to Rotterdam to Melbourne and beyond; all cities that are represented on this mix.
