Acid House

Acid House is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the late 1980s in the United Kingdom. It is characterized by its repetitive, hypnotic basslines and squelchy, acidic synthesizer sounds. It is often associated with the rave and club scenes of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The genre is heavily influenced by the use of the Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer and is often accompanied by a four-on-the-floor beat. Acid House is often seen as a precursor to the more popular genres of house and techno.
