Ben Sims pares techno down to raw 303 acid and relentless propulsion on Theory 040.1, released on Theory Recordings. Blunt rolling kicks, serrated synth stabs and clipped percussion keep the tracks firmly in peak-time territory, leaning on acid squelch rather than melodic uplift. It’s a focused, club-ready statement — exactly the kind of material DJs reach for when the floor needs uncompromising energy.
