Anything Acid & Techno

Matt Snider is back with another acid-techno reaction, and this time we listen to another cracking Biri & the Geezer remix on Biri’s Planet Techno label, specifically their remix of Spliffy B (real name Andy Garrett) and his track “Acid Factory.” So join me for a cracking (if also relatively simple/straightforward) acid-techno tune. Cheers!

Spliffy B on Psychedelic Chilli Explosion 1st release Jalapeno EP

He started playing free parties when he was at Southampton Institute around Dorset & Hampshire such as Hursley Fields.  He didn’t have his own turntables at that stage so was reliant on using friends decks.   He learnt a DJ set inside out which I played at any events I played.  As his skills developed he played different sets for each gig.  From his first DJ set he was promoting events as well as DJing.  He also started dabbling with production.

During this time he started doing shoutcast streams with multiple DJs.  He used the Institutes online connection as he didn’t have one in his Halls of residence room.  There were a number of crews doing the same for a couple of years before.  

By 2002 he was playing was playing both clubs and free parties.  He was playing a lot of Acid House & Techno, Gabber, Hardcore & Jungle.

Spliffy B moved back to Weymouth in 2003.  He only played a few events in Dorset, he played raves in different parts of Dorset and clubs around the country, however mostly in Somerset and across the South West.

In 2004 Spliffy B amongst other events he was promoting he promoted DNA with DJ Slimz. DNA was a hard house and drum n bass event based in the Firestation in Dorchester, Dorset.

Between 2008 and 2011 due to personal reasons he only played a few sets, one of which was on Weymouth Beach.  However he was regularly promoting & mixing on radio both online as well as FM & producing and releasing tracks.

In 2010 Spliffy B played 3 sets in an event in Peppermill, Heerlen, Netherlands.  He has also played in Belgium, Germany

He has also been ‘Special guest’ at the highly regarded Smash Techno (November 2013), Club 414 where he played Acid Techno

After 2015 Spliffy B made a slow shift to focusing more on Online radio due to supporting his late wife ongoing health situation.  Spliffy B at the moment is completely Online radio, but hopes to venture back into live environments moving forwards.  He has played on many online radio events/stations across Europe, America & Asia such as Germanys TNZN, Icelands Reykjavik Underground and more.

Spliffy B on TNZN:

In 2017 from an idea that was spawned from his late wife to do a techno fundraver.  Wayeta, Ronnie Grafter and Spliffy B hosted the 1st Sick Beatz Fundraver raising money and awareness of MS Society.  This is now an annual event which is highly supported in November.

Over the years as well as playing clubs, festivals and free parties he has been very active on the online radio circuit.  Over the past 15 years it hasn’t been uncommon for him to be playing 3, 4 or even 5 shows.  At times it has been as high as 20 in a week!

Currently Spliffy B has residencies for Reykjavik Undergound & Beyond Control with doing regular DJ sets most notably on Open Source.  Spliffy B also promotes events currently Acid Assault which covers all areas of Acid, and Rebellion Techno covering various areas of Techno, Cybercore covering all areas of Hardcore & Gabber, Lucid covering oldskool, Blues shows and more.

Artist(s): Popof x Sarah de Warren
Title: Reactivated
Record Label: Filth on Acid
Cat.Number: FOA192
Release Date: 14th March 2025

Tracklist:
1) Reactivated

Popof and Sarah de Warren come together for new single Reactivated on the mighty Filth on Acid.

Popof is a long time techno star from France who has dropped countless classic cuts, and Sarah de Warren is an in demand vocalist who has worked with plenty of big name stars.

Reactivated is dark and hard tech with a menacing bassline. The drums are solid and sure to rattle walls while the synths bring dance energy and vocals add a human hook to ensure this one bangs.

This is another high grade weapon from this label.
