How did you become the acid freak that you are?

[Aratron]

what got me into acid techno was going to a free party in Sheffield one day, at this big church.
it was hunt sabateours event and DJ Dill Zogg was playing.
He was playing the hardest most industrial music i'd ever heard, it was perfectly mixed and overwhelmingly hard. i was totally off my face, and i remember asking my mate Dan what this music was and he said Acid Techno.
After then i bought some decks and a load of acid techno that was in 2001.
first records i bought were Baron Felch, Hydro 2, Raw 9, Rozzers Dog, Bang On 5 was i buzzing or what

yes i think it was

the police came and tried to get us to turn the music down.

the acoustics were awesome. you could feel and see all the church windows moving in and out to the bass. and the bass just sailed down the nave, absolutely awesome. best party i have ever been to

So, from most peoples accounts, it was the music and nothing to do with being off ya nut nut on acid?

I'd say equal parts of both for me :love:

Cos i have to admit,i used to eat shite loads of acid,and that really tuned me into the 303 sound.

If you like the music, then you like the music, drugs can only enhance your emotions.

I used to Dj Happy hardcore stuff up untill 3 years ago, it WAS good back then, but it all of a sudden decided to go all trance and generally quite crappy, and still is in my opinion. it didnt have any groove to it and it wasnt anything that hadnt been done before.

I had a few tape packs with techno sets in them and i found myself listening to one one day (chris liberator) and i knew of SUF & Cluster cos i bought 1 or 2 back in 1999, then i went into HMV and they had new whites in there from powertools, cluster, SUF, so i got a few and just continued to buy them!

I become an addict to acid music in late winter of 2002, when i was searching for Pirate mp3 compilations at Kiev city Radiomarket, and saw mp3-disc ACiD Flash Vol.4,5,6.
I bought it for 3$ (very big money for me, a shoolboy). And listened to it many, many crazy hours..Also i bought some pirate mp3-conpilations online in Dnepropetrovsk music internet-shop. Thats like )

I'd say 90% of people into Techno / Acid Techno used to be well into rock music at some point in their life. Thats a fact!

was into metal, hardcore, punky, crusty stuff before getting into techno aye. well got into early trance type stuff before leading onto techno, banco di gia, eat static, herbal teaparties etc...

[christian wagner]

I used to be into the hardcore scene in a big way, but with it becoming far tooo commercial with all the club trance influences, all producers started making the same stuff, so it became so boring.

one day in HMV there was a promo rack and in it were loadsa techno white labels, stay up forever, bang on, subsonix, clusters, and allsorts, so i bought the lot, was a bargain at £4 each!

it sounded a lot less "serious" than the hardcore did, was a more sensible tempo, ad most off all, the scene doesnt have the snobbish attitude like hardcore!

Loadsa people thought it was stupid but i stuck to my guns, and iv never been happier playin and makin the stuff!!!

that is defo true.

got into from going to squat parties around london in the early to mid nineties and generally being off it. Loves those 303's

that was probably the 1st acid techno record i bought myself, from hmv of all places, a few years back now LOL!!

[zyclone]

Nice! I love that tune! Im looking for a new copy, my old one has a big scratch on it! =/

[Barnz]

I use to listen to Hard House, and eventually I started buying records on Vicious Circle. I heard the Dave the Drummer remix of Paul Glazby`s Acid Disco track on Vicious Cirlce and I liked it. Having heard this I started searching for Dave the Drummer tunes, and found the Hydraulix label so I brought some of those.

Because Dave the Drummer has made tunes along side Chris Liberator that led me to searching for Chris Liberator tunes so I found out about Stay Up Forever and those labels etc.

london acidic trance & techno!

tell me choci wasn't rocking!

the era of samsara style is still teh best mix of decent acid trance & techno in that dirty london style

[PunK]

I was dragged kickin and screaming in early 2000 by my mates to a nice dark and dingy club in Melbourne called "VIRUS" where nothing but slammin acid tekno was played..... 7am the following morning i was dragged out only to return week in and week out until the club ended.... from there the UPN was started in Melbourne and squat/ warehouse/ outdoor parties happened.... from there i took myself to london for two months of nothing but acid tekno parties......


...... i still thanks my mates for draggin me to virus that night some 7 odd years ago.......
