ACID HOUSE



Acid house is an electronic music-oriented subgenre of house music, which emphasizes a repetitive, hypnotic and trance-like style, with samples or spoken lines rather than sung lyrics. Acid house's characteristic electronic "squelch" sounds were developed by mid-1980s DJs who were experimenting with the Roland TB-303 electronic synthesizer-sequencer. Acid House spread to the United Kingdom where it was played by DJs in the early rave scene. By the late 1980s, copycat tracks and Acid House remixes brought the style into the mainstream, where it influenced other pop and dance styles.

UK acid house and rave fans use the the yellow smiley face symbol as the emblem of the music and scene, a "vapid, anonymous smile" which portrayed the "simplest and gentlest of the Eighties’ youth manifestations" that was non-aggressive, "except in terms of decibels" at the high-volume DJ parties [1] Some acid house fans used a smiley face with a blood streak on it, which Watchmen comics creator Alan Moore asserts was based on Dave Gibbons' artwork for the series.[2]

Acid house soon began influencing UK pop music, emerging in a somewhat sanitized form in songs like Bananarama's "Tripping on Your Love" (1991) and Samantha Fox's "Love House" (1989). As well, acid house influences appearing as remixes of pop songs on 12" singles by mainstream acts and in the hit song "Theme from S'Express" by electronic band S'Express in 1988.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, news media and tabloids devoted an increasing amount of coverage to the hedonistic acid house/rave scene, focusing on its association with psychedelic drugs and club drugs. The sensationalistic nature coverage may have contributed to the banning of acid house, during its heyday, from radio, television, and retail outlets in the United Kingdom.
