Emilio Acevedo, the man behind Lasser Drakar, is a proper electronic/indie veteran, having been involved in several projects since the late '80s. Founder of the band Titan with which he has put out four albums with, the group collaborated with figures like Gary Numan and Egyptian Lover. With his duos Sonido Lasser Drakar and Maria Daniela Y Su Sonido Lasser he approached dance music in his own high energy pop way always with a touch of humor. Included 7" features Tara Delong on "Socialism".

Hippie Dance label head Rebolledo on the release: "Back in 2006, when I had recently opened my first little bar in Playa del Carmen 'Corvette Ninja', Emilio came to town to perform live with Maria Daniela to La Santanera, where I was a resident DJ. Besides his performance there, he agreed to do a solo DJ set at my little place, I was super flashed by the music he was playing which included some amazing covers and references. When he finished playing, I had to ask what all that was... he told me most of it was un edited material he had produced basically just to DJ... I was even more flashed... Ten years passed and we met again in Playa del Carmen having dinner before a show where he was playing with his band and I was DJing... I asked him about that music I was so flashed about a decade ago and he told me he still had it, most of it just in those CDs he used to play, still unreleased... I asked him if he could send it to me to play it and so he did during the next weeks... Every time I would open a file I would be amazed and every time I would play those tracks, the reactions were amazing and often people on my side would ask me what the hell was that... So, at some point I had to ask 'Would you like to release this on our label?' Lucky me, he was up for it and here we are now in 2019 releasing his first solo material under the Lasser Drakar name, the tracks he produced between 2001 and 2004 which in my opinion happen to be more modern than lots of the things you find these days."
