For instance, Acid House emerged in the 1980’s. “It’s a rubbery, squiggly, bubbly, whirrbly, trippy, bouncey, warpy, funky, filthy, screaming, squelching, barking, blistering, scratching, ripping, dripping, driving, liquid-like hypnotic mutant synthline produced by a little silver box called the Roland TB-303 Bassline,” Ishkur explains.
“Acid House was the first genre of electronic music to get a type of party named after it – the Acid House party. It was a hit in Chicago and the Midwest, and it became an even bigger hit in the UK in the summer of 88 (the so-called Second Summer of Love), where vacationing partiers heard it in Ibiza for the first time while also taking ecstasy for the first time (the two compliment each other like a duck’s boner and dragging weeds),” he adds.
This is a SNIPPET of information on one genre- you will have to explore Ishkur’s guide in your own time, which is highly recommended.
