The Birth of Aciton
Text by Len Iima (HigherFrequency)
From the collaborative effort between Senor Coconut (aka Atom Heart/ Uwe Schmidt) and Original Hamster (aka Vicente Sanfuentes) comes the newest genre to the industry 'Aciton'. According to the creators this sound is a blend of Acid with Reggaeton. Although it may sound a lot like Dancehall, there is a unique quality to the tracks.
The idea for this mash-up came when they were in downtown Tokyo and noticed the extreme sounds around them. With a bit of studio magic, their first Surtek Collective album was born. It's off the same label as Senor Coconut's last album "Yellow Fever" which is Third Ear Recordings.
"Surtek Collective – The Birth of Aciton" will be released on April 11th.
