Nacho Lovers is Andrew Ross and Scott Seewhale; they hail from Toronto, Canada and are signed to Fool's Gold Records. They aren't terribly new on the scene, but some of their synthy acidic tracks are starting to make a make a splash.

"Acid Life" is true to its name with a fluid and distinctive style. It manages to become a melting pot of crazy blips, beat-up synths, and overstretched vocoders. Nacho Lovers say that they're influenced by the earlier material that came out of Chicago and Detroit; those sounds have finally surfaced in "Acid Life".

These mangy synths will bite at your heels consistently throughout the entire track. A Surkin remix of this track will be released on the Scion CD Vol. 22; Fool's Gold Remixed. For now - here is the original.

Fool's Gold Records co-founder (along with A-Trak) is Nick Catchdubs, here is a new mix he did for XLR8R Magazine.

Benoit Heitz and Hugues Rey are "High Powered Boys". While both Surkin and Bobmo have released amazing Chicago house influenced tracks in the past; they have now collaborated to form an ADHD-influenced ghetto stylized EP called Sounds of Cain.

"Hoes Get Down" has been around for a long time, featuring in Institubes sets and gradually working its way around. "Up Down" is a little more recent and follows the same trend that "Hoes Get Down" sets: a choppy, almost minimalist, but completely pumping EP. While the songs seem a bit empty, they are sure fire starters.

Yet again, we see a Christian influence among the French electronic scene; Sounds of Cain. Cain being Adam's son...interesting isn't it? This EP is the first to be released out of 10 HBP singles.
