The Rave History-Acid house

Nowadays dance music is a complicated subject.
Back in 1985, House music was something quite unheard of outside the closed walls of Chicago’s underground.The regulars of this club loved the new sound and the term “House” music was born, named after a place where innovation was laying down the foundations for a new musical revolution.

In late 1987, one of the first examples of “Acid House” came out of Chicago. It was by DJ Pierre under the name Phuture. It was called “Acid Tracks”. The summer of 1988 saw the growth of “Acid House”, both with the music and the culture. The drug L.S.D. was linked with the music and the ‘smiley’ face became the new symbol on T-shirts and badges everywhere.
