Originally issued in 1993, “Enforcement” distilled Berlin’s post-wall energy into cavernous bass, relentless repetition, and vast reverb chambers that stretched techno into deep, hypnotic territory. Outstanding, idiosyncratic Acid cut with an outstanding Jeff Mills rework and even an “Acid-a-capella” version, the release captured a bold experimental edge that set it apart from anything else at the time.

Now regarded as a foundation stone of the genre, *Enforcement* is more than just a record—it’s a manifesto, marking the moment Basic Channel began reshaping electronic music’s DNA.
