Acid Pauli has announced his new album, ‘Mystic Meltdown,’ due November 20, 2026, via his own All Is Acid label. The announcement arrives alongside the title track, featuring vocals from Ugandan collective Kingdom Molongi.
Blending techno, house, ambient, electronica, and psychedelic textures, ‘Mystic Meltdown’ marks the first full-length Acid Pauli album since 2020’s ‘MOD’. The project brings together different strands of Martin Gretschmann’s work, including his history with Console and The Notwist, while introducing a new set of collaborators.
“It took months and months to find the coherency and the story that this album is telling. Arranging the pacing, feeling how the tracks come together into one album,” says Acid Pauli.
Across the album, Hani Mojtahedy contributes Kurdish vocals to ‘Goman (Remix)’, while Sophie Hunger performs Lhasa de Sela’s ‘Con Toda Palabra’ in Spanish. Kingdom Molongi also appears on ‘Mystic Feedback’. According to Gretschmann, the sequencing was conceived as a continuous progression through changing tempos, textures, and emotional states.
