error updating profile proof that we are post BOC/Aphex Twin. Went all in and bought the cassette. Christ, the shipping though!
Sadly, no tape as of March 30 2021 Favorite track: Anexx0.

DJ Sentiment Truly a visionary in regards of electronic music, Mexico's greatest producer in my opinion. Favorite track: Plonks Acid.

Nic Emberton Some great tracks on this but I'd really love to have Glide Age X on vinyl! Favorite track: Glide Age X.

about

AAAA real name Gabo Barranco is a Mexico City based electronic music producer and crew member of the rave event series EXT. His most recent releases include an EP on Omnidisc records, and a collaborative LP with Tin Man under their joint project named DOVS, released on Acid Test.

Runts is a collection of tracks written between 2018 and 2020. Running length at nearly an hour, exploring the possibilities and boundaries of acid, with shape shifting styles that travel from euphoria to the dysphoric.

The releases called Runts because the tracks were presumably not meant to survive, yet have persevered in the mind of AAAA, are a personal and uncompromised expedition. The collection was produced over time, sometimes seemingly unrelated but built from the same foundation. Taking meandering trips influenced by moods of the moment, the overall collection captures the expansive multiplicity not only in AAAAs style - as can be seen in other productions - but also in his identity, a constant shifting around a malleable center. The songs, though different in mood and tone, are all produced using the same analog machines. By eschewing digital manipulations or complex edits, they are unified by the basic tools with which they are produced.

Runts is a reflection of the producer’s own idiosyncratic methods, a diary through its music.

This is some really fun electronic music with a good cyberpunk feeling to it. Dark electro without really being dark. Something for those into EBM and genre definitions like that. It will appeal to those who enjoy our electronic music a bit on the dark side. Aldo Quispel

Listening to this album gives me a feeling of being in space at high speed and at the same time calm. Amazing how the songs are balanced and highly attractive to have a constant listening! Fuzz on, hub from Brazil! Fuzzrious Fan

Cool, controlled electronic music that relies on a steady bass pulse, tiny ripples of synth, and delicate vocal lines. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 28, 2018

Not my usual flavour of choice. BUT, I've thoroughly enjoyed the "prickle" track, almost Marylin Manson'esq and it went down a treat. El Tato
