Atlon Inc.

Atlon Inc. (aka Rob Acid) is part of the Force Inc. crew, though apart from the name you wouldn't know it since there is little or no click-dub going on, but a whole lot of booty-shaking minimal and tech-house. Rob Acid has been producing for well over a decade and his instinct for exceptional production is evident. On its own, Main Things is disjointed since the tracks call out for the context that a DJ can provide, but that does not mean these tracks are not first rate. I can envision these cuts blended in with some fine Detroit techno and arranged by more forward-thinking DJs as the music rumbles through club speakers. From that viewpoint it would be more practical to get these tracks on to twelve-inch as a DJ tool instead of CD. The rhythm and sound on Main Things is sometimes stoic yet often veers into an up-tempo dance swing with bits of soul that possesses a mysterious hypnotic quality - analogies that come to mind would be Algorythym and Brommage Dub.
