Center Yourself With This Brilliant Ambient Techno EP By Air Liquide
The legendary Berlin duo is back, and they’re returning to their famous ’90s Love Parade roots.
Anyone who’s delved into the recorded history of Love Parade will remember those iconic, haunting lines from the Live At Love Parade ’94 mix CD: “this is not a mind trip, this is a body journey”. At this point, Air Liquide‘s “This Is Not A Mindtrip” quickly entered the canon of classic Berlin anthems. With its snarling and spiralling bass line, jittering drums and, of course, that infamous phrase, it became one of the pin-up tracks of Love Parade’s ’90s moment.
Now, Air Liquide (a.k.a Dr Walker and Jammin Unit) are throwing back to the track on the This Is A Mind Trip EP for Irakli’s label, Intergalactic Research Institute for Sound (IRIS).
