Pre-Order: Brown Acid The Essential Mix By Mr. Dibbs / Var - Brown Acid The Essential Mix By Mr. Dibbs / Var [LP]

"When I was approached by Riding Easy Records about this project, I'm not sure they understood exactly what they'd done. They turned over Twenty-One volumes and over three hundred files of post hippie, aggressive, apocalyptic and psychedelic rock, funk metal and said, "do your thing." What was supposed to be a quick flip turned into a 7-month project. I laughed, I cried, I broke shit and put it all back together again. And I mean that, literally and figuratively. Because, y'all, halfway through this labor of funk, my studio flooded. I was then relocated, that's including 15k records, demo'ed, remodeled, rebuilt and moved back. Not once did I stop working. This ain't no micro dose, this is two tabs, double dipped. So this time, take the brown acid." - Mr. DibbsBrown Acid is the longest running compilation series collecting obscure, heavy underground rock tracks from the late 1960s through the mid 1970s, released by RidingEasy Records in collaboration with Owner of Permanent Records Lance Barresi and RidingEasy Owner Daniel Hall. It focuses on hard rock, proto-metal, heavy psych, stoner-ish acid rock, and early proto-punk from bands that usually only managed to release a lone demo 45 or self-released single before disappearing into obscurity. Framed as a kind of "post-hippie, pre-punk" document, the series digs up and properly licenses these forgotten cuts, presenting them as numbered "Trips" that function both as a historical excavation of a lost heavy rock underground and as a cult-favorite listening experience for modern fans of fuzzed-out, riff-heavy sounds. This mixtape done by Mr. Dibbs is to showcase these songs in a different light to show just how broad and psychedelic the Brown Acid series really is, giving it a new take that has never been done before with this kind of material.
