so i've been listening to an artist known as ceephax acid crew, and i was curious to see what genre of music they did. google reports back as 'acid techno', and i've never really heard of it.
one search on google later, and
i get this:
Acid techno is a genre of techno that developed out of late 1980s Chicago acid house.[1] Acid house was essentially house music made with a specific sound, obtained by using very distinctive instruments created mainly by Roland, such as the SH-101 and TB-303 for bass and lead sounds, and the TR-707, TR-808, and TR-909 for percussion. Acid specifically refers to the use of the Roland TB-303, or any other synthesizer designed to emulate its unique sound.[2] While modern electronic instruments have memory banks of different sounds or patches, these machines had to be manually set by adjusting control knobs. The acid sound was obtained by either setting these controls to extreme parameters, or manipulating these controls in real-time as the track was being recorded, something record producers would call tweaking.
it's a genre i really like, and i especially enjoy all the synthesizer sounds, hell that's my favorite part
here's a couple other songs of ceephax acid crew's as examples:

thanks for helping me out with my love for not-quite obscure music genres
