In response to Acid Camp’s request for something "high energy”, I’ve sought to re-capture my set from the 2026 Pride edition of my club night "Trainwreck". Attendees of the now-infamous, possibly-legendary, "Trainwreck Crash Out Pride" party (July 2026 at Process PDX) will likely recognize this mix's intro: it sent many of you running for your lives - a cacophony of sounds getting playfully chopped to bits, scratched up, and half-violently "crashing out" together. I've reproduced the intro here in more controlled conditions. Thank you to Portland for embracing (I kind of forced it upon yall hehe) my special blend of adept chaos, wrist flicking, bowel-shocking selections, and absolute booty-forward, butt-bashing, safe-space-destroying, cunt-wreck style. Welcome to Cici's Funhouse yall!

Nark - Queer Acid Energy II - The Space Between Us [Acid Camp Records]
When the Roland TB-303 was released in 1981, it was marketed as a substitute for a bass guitarist. It failed almost immediately. Years later, when secondhand units found their way into Chicago studios, producers discovered that pushing the machine beyond its intended limits produced something entirely different: a squelching sound that seemed less like an instrument and more like a living thing.
That spirit runs through Nark’s 2026 Queer Acid Energy II, out digitally on Acid Camp Records. On “I Wanna Be Basic,” Nark opens with a relentless four-to-the-floor kick, 90s textures, and heavy snares that cut through waves of raw acid pressure. “The Space Between Us” lays off the gas—if only for a few moments—with resonant 303 lines, warm pads, and a slow-building tension that eventually gives way to the dance floor once again.
Like the queer spaces that inspire it and instruments that guide it, Queer Acid Energy II finds possibility in transformation. The result is a release that understands acid not as nostalgia, but as a language of reinvention: dramatic, dynamic, and constantly in motion.
