Amir Alexander’s new label will focus on jakbeats and acid house experiments.

Chicago native Amir Alexander has been crafting high quality house and techno for over one and a half decades, delivering his work via imprints such as Hypercolour and Secretsundaze in recent years. Alexander has also helmed his own imprint, Vanguard Sound, since 2006.

Speaking to Resident Advisor, Amir Alexander has unveiled plans for his second label. He said “I was sitting on a couple albums worth of acid tracks just waiting to find the right home to be released on… it finally dawned on me that I should create an alias/side project/alter ego to address this issue.”

Named Aaacid, the label has been created to house experiments in acid and twisted jakbeats. The imprint’s mission is to foster “…sincere attempts at advancing and adding onto the Acid House [and] Jak Beat templates while staying left of center, and keeping a dark sense of humor in the process.”

Alexander continued “Now, as for Jack Ingoff I cannot say much. He’s a former gangbanging child prodigy and part-time pimp who realized he was livin’ fowl and gave up the street life to pursue production full-time. He records with his twin brother Richie Ratchet as “We Love Chicken Heads” and their older sister is also a producer by the name of Betty Ball Breaker.”

Aaacid will release Jack Ingoff’s Smiley Virus EP on October 10 in a limited run of 222 hand-stamped copies. Check the full tracklist below.

Tracklist:
01. Guantanamo Bay
02. Zombie
03. Procession Of The Nobles
04. MOAB – Mothers Of All Bombs
