Hrm...depends on just how acidy and just how repetitive you're looking
for. One that would probably fit the bill nicely is the Beverly Hills
808303 single on Drop Bass Records, out of Milwaukee. Teep, I know you're
into that record :)
Actually, most of Drop Bass Network's stuff would do well, but be warned:
it's very, very fast, at least most of it. The goio record on DBN is
slower than most, you'd probably dig that.
As far as other Midwest acid goes, check out Communique Records, plus all
the sub-labels (tape, head in the clouds, plus about 7 more). They're from
Minneapolis, and put out soooo much material. Woody McBride, who owns and
records for the label, is the man to look out for, but his stuff tends to
get pretty predictable.
On the outskirts of hard, cruncy, acidy, repetitive is the No Future crew
- people like Neil Landstrumm, Christian Vogel, Tobias Schmidt, etc. I can
personally recommend Landstrumm's album "Understanding Disinformation",
from a year or two ago, on Tresor. I say the outskirts because, while
his and the others' records are definitely hard, repetitive, and twisted,
they don't always stick to "acidy".
Finally, no mention of acid tracks would be complete without mentioning
Plastikman. A good place to start would be his Mixmag Live! disc, which is
a Hawtin mix set. It's got a fair bit of his own material on it (about 5
tracks), plus lots of other stuff like you mentioned. Also check out his
albums Sheet One, Musik, and Recycled Plastik.
There's really sooo much stuff out there that fits your description, but I
hope these couple of things help.
