"When I was approached by RidingEasy Records about this project, I’m not sure they understood exactly what they’d done. They turned over Twenty-One volumes and over three hundred files of post hippie, aggressive, apocalyptic and psychedelic rock, funk metal and said, “do your thing.” What was supposed to be a quick flip turned into a 7-month project. I laughed, I cried, I broke shit and put it all back together again. And I mean that, literally and figuratively. Because, y’all, halfway through this labor of funk, my studio flooded. I was then relocated, that’s including 15k records, demo’ed, remodeled, rebuilt and moved back. Not once did I stop working. This ain’t no micro dose, this is two tabs, double dipped. So this time, take the brown acid." - Mr Dibbs

Brown Acid is the longest-running compilation series collecting obscure, heavy underground rock tracks from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s. Released by RidingEasy Records in collaboration with Permanent Records owner Lance Barresi and RidingEasy Records owner Daniel Hall, it focuses on hard rock, proto-metal, heavy psych, stoner-leaning acid rock, and early proto-punk from bands that often managed only to release a lone demo 45 or self-issued single before disappearing into obscurity. Framed as a kind of “post-hippie, pre-punk” document, the series digs up and properly licenses these forgotten cuts, presenting them as numbered “Trips” that function both as a historical excavation of a lost heavy rock underground and as a cult-favorite listening experience for modern fans of fuzzed-out, riff-heavy sounds. This Mr. Dibbs mixtape showcases the songs in a different light, highlighting just how broad and psychedelic the Brown Acid series really is—and offering a fresh take that hasn’t been done before with this kind of material.
