90 minutes of trip-hop and electronica as the elusive SUED founder walks down memory lane. 👁️✨

Stefan Wust, AKA SW., takes over RA.1054 with a 90-minute dive into trip-hop, breakbeat and downtempo. Reassembling memories of his youth through loops and tape delay, Wust bridges the gap between '90s nostalgia and modern perspective.

Listen to RA.1054 now at the link in bio. 🎙️ by @acidtestrecords

New one on SWOB. SW. twilightSPIRALS.

At the heart of twilightSPIRALS is a growing sense of social estrangement that exists precisely within constant connectivity. We are more connected than ever, in frequency, communication, visibility, and permanent interaction, yet genuine closeness often feels increasingly difficult to reach.
These songs were written from within that contradiction. They explore the longing for trust, friendship, openness, and vulnerability in a world where emotional life is increasingly mediated, accelerated, and experienced at the surface. There is an extraordinary amount of openness in appearance today, yet very little real intimacy in depth. The frequency is high; the emotional grounding often remains absent.
That tension became the emotional center of the album. While the songs unfold, the emotional condition behind them feels universal: a person surrounded by constant communication and social exposure, yet unable to fully reach another person.

High Low
Rotation
Trickfinger I (green vinyl)

John Frusciante presents Trickfinger – In A Box

5LP Box Set

LP1 Rotation
LP2 High Low
LP3/LP4 Trickfinger I (green vinyl)
LP5 Trickfinger II (red vinyl)

When I recorded the first 2 Trickfinger records, I had recently discovered that you could make electronic music in a room with a bunch of synced machines going at the same time, record it on a CD burner and have a finished track. I’ve heard this process described as „overdubbing into the air“. It was as exciting to me as my first 4 track was when I was 14. I wasn’t trying to be good, or original. I was just excited that music could be made that way; it felt like I was a whole group of musicians playing together… or like I was jamming with ghosts of myself. This has actually been a very common way of making electronic music since the 80s, particularly in the main pioneering genres like Chicago Acid and Detroit Techno, but anyways I didn’t figure it out until 2006. In 2007, I started doing it myself, which resulted in what was eventually released as Trickfinger, and Trickfinger II. I was just home from tour and was still in the middle of recording The Empyrean.

A couple of years later I started making music by overdubbing onto a computer, but using the same machines. Some of this music did not get a proper release, and is compiled here as the vinyl record High Low. I don’t think I have ever tried so hard at making music as I did during that period. This in contrast to those two Trickfinger records, where I wasn’t trying at all. There’s something to be said for both mental states. When you’re in one, the other seems impossible.

The fourth record in this box is me breaking in a new mixing console, making live-to-stereo music. The record is called Rotation, and it is all new music. These tracks are more in the „not trying“ category, since we’re on that subject. I had just come home from tour, and was just really glad to be in the studio with my machines.

Acid Test thought it would be nice to do a box set commemorating the 10th anniversary of the release of Trickfinger, and so we put together this box set, with homemade cover art.

Hello hello! Testing the live rig while prepping parts for ‘Dominion’ (released on Swob/Acid Test a few months back). Once again, I’m using faders as slice selectors instead of a mixer, but with a fun twist: loopers at the end of each channel. The core of the track only uses three tracks, so there’s tons of room for adding external gear. The journey continues. by @acidtestrecords
