Acid House is a subgenre of house music that emerged in the mid-1980s, primarily in Chicago. It is characterized by its distinctive squelchy basslines, created using the Roland TB-303 synthesizer, and its hypnotic, repetitive grooves. Acid house played a key role in the late 1980s rave movement, particularly in the UK and Europe, where it became synonymous with the rise of warehouse parties and electronic dance culture.
