Album lore

Praga Khan’s Twenty First Century Skin, here presented in remastered form, collects acid house, big beat, and hardcore techno elements into a late-1990s artifact of the Belgian electronic underground. The album’s original sessions unfolded amid the throbbing pulse of rave culture, with Khan’s production harnessing raw synthesizer textures and propulsive rhythms. Tracks like “Breakfast in Vegas” exemplify this blend, featuring snarling acid basslines and punchy beats that retain a dancefloor focus.Though not widely scrobbled—around 26,000 plays on Last.fm—the record holds a distinct place in the lineage of European electronic music’s turn-of-the-century phase. The remastering reveals fresh clarity in the dense arrangements, sharpening the signal without diluting the original’s abrasive edge. This edition invites crate-diggers and DJs alike to revisit a chapter where hardcore techno’s intensity met acid house’s squelch, all under Praga Khan’s characteristic production lens.
