Acidsad by Jori Hulkkonen

Crash Planet is releasing the 2025 remastered version of the 2019 track, Acidsad by Jori Hulkkonen, including Itay Dailes Remix.

Jori Hulkkonen and Crash Planet label boss Red Eye have long bonded over their love of 80s vibes and the synthpop stylings of groups like Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode for many years now. On the label he was previously associated with, Red Eye had already released several items from Jori Hulkkonen.

In 2019, Jori wrote "Acidsad" specifically for Red Eye to include on a compilation series for that label. It's a midtempo, slow-burning track that encompasses elements of synthpop, underground deep house vibes, and, of course, a fluttering acid line. It is sprinkled with sparse, "just above a whisper" melancholic lyrics that touch on the universal theme of longing and unrequited affection.

This package includes a 2025 remaster of the original full-length version and a shorter edit. Also, Crash Planet label veteran Itay Dailes turns in brand new remixes for the dancefloor! Itay pumps up the tempo a bit and gives us amazing Detroit techno-inspired takes. Think Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin, etc. Deep, grimy, moody, emotional, and ever so slightly menacing.
