Occurring under the encompassing umbrella of electronic music, and the subsequent smaller grouping of house music, Acid House generally uses simple tone generators and tempo-controlled resonant filters.
The origins of Acid House can be traced back to the 1980s when DJs used the house music that was already popular in Chicago and New York mixed with the “squelch” and deep bass line of the Roland TB-303 synthesizer. Eventually Acid House spread across the Atlantic and arrived in the United Kingdom where it would become the central part of the early rave scene. A yellow smiley face is considered an emblem of Acid House.
