For Martin Gretschmann, the ever-evolving Berlin artist known as both Acid Pauli and Console, music has always been a deeply personal journey. His new imprint, All Is Acid, marks the next chapter — a creative home for his uncompromising and experimental sound, launched together with his partner, Shirin Botas. Breaking from the cycle of trends, the label is a return to the essential, offering just a few carefully curated releases a year. Each is intended as a timeless artefact for deep listening, primarily showcasing Acid Pauli’s own intricate and intimate productions.

The label debuts with a newly remastered version of his classic 2010 EP ‘Den Mahlstrom rauf,’ given a powerful new dimension by a standout remix from Italian artist Adiel. Their collaboration was sparked by pure serendipity: a fan video of Acid Pauli playing her music in Milan reached Adiel, who responded with a short film. In it, she revealed that “Den Mahlstrom rauf” was a formative influence and one of the very first records she ever bought. Inviting her to remix the track that helped shape her sound was a full-circle moment, artistically and emotionally. Her bold, reverent reinterpretation honours the original’s spirit while imprinting it with her own unique signature. With this release, All Is Acid launches not just with music, but with a story of connection, community and a shared artistic lineage.
