VA - '10'

Aquaregia celebrates its tenth anniversary with '10', a five-track compilation bringing together artists who have each shaped the imprint’s sound over the past decade.

The release sees Troma & PERS1, Blazej Malinowski, Téo Dréan, Nicola Dal Sacco, and 747 return to the label with new work, each interpreting acid through their own lens. Across the EP, Aquaregia’s distinct blend of emotional, hypnotic, and musically rich acid techno is assembled in a nod to the label’s foundation.

The record opens with Troma & PERS1’s Atomic, a deep and dreamlike cut filled with metallic textures and drifting movement, followed by Blazej Malinowski’s Brudnopis, sliding into a low-slung, seductive groove. On the flipside, Téo Dréan’s Honeymoon Phase injects orchestral euphoria and cinematic tension, while Nicola Dal Sacco channels vintage ‘90s hypnosis on Papaia. To close, 747’s Decades offers a reflective, bittersweet finale - a fitting coda to Aquaregia’s first ten years.
