UK Acid House Movement

The UK Acid House Movement emerged in the late 1980s, characterized by the rise of electronic dance music featuring the distinctive squelchy sounds of the Roland TB-303 synthesizer. Originating from underground rave scenes, it fostered a sense of communal freedom and experimental culture. Acid House was associated with enhanced drug use, notably ecstasy, which amplified the euphoric experience. Its vibrant parties and innovative music influenced broader UK pop culture and music genres, marking a pivotal moment in the development of electronic dance music and the wider rave movement in Britain.
