I found this last week, one track from an EP by Anatolian Weapons, a DJ/ production team from Athens, Greece (released on the always worth watching Byrd Out label). Desert Track 66 is eleven minutes of 303 slowed down acid intensity, a trip out to somewhere else. Ticking drums, murky sounds, the acidic squiggle of the 303 burbling away, with the occasional pause as the rhythm track drops out and then back in again. Impossible to click play on and not be drawn in. And there's definitely something of the desert about it- the heat, the vastness and the sense of it going on and on into the distance as night falls.
The rest of the EP, Selected Acid Tracks, is similarly good and can be bought digitally at Bandcamp. There's a limited vinyl edition too if you want to seriously test your speakers out. All the other tracks hit the spot, Acid Research 20 and Acid Research 63 both driven by higher tempos and equally wigged.

As always, your descriptors are right on the money SA and I was indeed completely drawn in by the tune. Excellent stuff.
