Acid Techno
Acid techno is a style of techno with sharp, squelchy basslines made with the Roland TB 303, giving the music a wild and hypnotic sound.
Acid techno is a type of techno that uses the Roland TB 303 to create a squelchy and twisting bassline. When the filters on the 303 are turned up, the sound becomes sharp and bubbling, which is the main signature of acid music.
The style is fast, energetic, and often used at raves and warehouse parties. It keeps the steady beat of techno but adds a noisy, high-energy edge that feels intense on the dancefloor.
Acid techno became popular in the early 1990s and is still loved today for its raw and powerful sound. Many producers still use the 303 or modern versions of it to get that classic acid feel.
Example Usage
“The DJ played an acid techno track and the crowd reacted as soon as the 303 kicked in.”
