Acid House is the genre that brings the hypnotic, squelchy sounds of the Roland TB-303 synthesizer to the dance floor, characterized by its repetitive rhythms and psychedelic basslines. Emerging in the mid-1980s, it was popularized by producers like Phuture, DJ Pierre, and Acid House, who brought a trippy, experimental twist to house music. Acid house's infectious grooves and mind-altering sounds made it a cornerstone of the rave culture. Today, it remains a beloved genre for its distinctive, acid-drenched sound, influencing modern electronic music and festival scenes.
