about

Artifacts Volumes 1-3 represents the early sounds of Chicago, Jason Novak and his trusty W30... as sounds unfurled through clouds of bong-smoke in various north-side apartments and lofts, this is the work put in to develop what would become a 30 year love affair with the origins of industrial dance music a la Wax Trax!, Medusa's and Chicago. These are re-mastered 4-track recordings representing a handful of local cassette outputs as Acumen began filtering into the underground music scene, setting up shows at the historic Avalon and 950 Clubs, Dreamerz, Metro and on to much bigger and better things. (with Ethan Novak and Gregory A. Lopez as the original ACUMEN)
