Acid Junkies is a dance act from The Netherlands. Their music is all about having fun: nowadays the only motivation for them is that they enjoy making the music and playing it for a crowd. The do not conform to any hipster styles or fashion, they just make and play the music they like. Live, they present themselves with a mix of solid techno music, played live and edited and enhanced with fragments of all kinds of dance music, spanning the last 20 years. From synthi-disco, via EBM towards house and techno.

Releases
On singles and albums, the band’s music has gone through a comparable evolution: Having started with the purest acid house music from the USA as a source of inspiration, the Acid Junkies add more and more modern elements to their music over the years. As a result, an entirely new sound has come into existence, both technically and musically. The name of the band might be the only memory of their past, musically speaking the band already steps into the future.

Acid Junkies story
The Acid Junkies started in 1992 as producer Stefan Robbers’ solo project. It was his way of saying ‘thanks’ to all the originators from Chicago that injected such large doses of psychedelia into house music. The Part 1 EP on Eindhoven1s famous Djax-Up-Beats label became an instant success and soon the Acid Junkies were a real band.

His partner in crime for this operation is Harold de Kinderen, who provided Stefan with the Roland TB 303 he used for the first Acid Junkies EP and who has been a full band member since that day. Harold used to be a DJ for a drive-in show and played drums in various local bands.

The Future
The style of music varies, but is mostly targeted at a dance floor audience. Ranging from old skool acid bleeps to high tech electro with a scent of industrial and EBM-Body music, they can go anywhere they want with this label and that is exactly why they founded it. Currently new releases are planed on Acid Tracks (Germany) and Acidworx (Japan)

Liberator DJs and Stay Up Forever: The Pioneers of Acid Techno. Founded by the Liberator DJs—Chris, Aaron, and Julian—in 1993, the Stay Up Forever label emerged to encapsulate the sound of London’s burgeoning squat party and underground scene. Their distinctive brand of energetic Acid Techno and Trance set them apart from the slower house and techno or the fast-paced hard trance and gabber that dominated the scene. Their mission was to create the music they wanted to hear in warehouse raves.

Collaborating with producer Paul Harding, the original SUF crew began creating this unique sound, and soon recruited like-minded musicians and DJs like DDR, Lawrie Immersion, and Gizelle. This collective sound evolved into a hybrid of hard acid trance and chunky techno with contributions from artists like D.A.V.E. The Drummer and Geezer. By their 20th release, the SUF label had grown to include notable labels like Routemaster and Smitten, as well as the Liberator’s sister label, Cluster, known for its less acidic warehouse techno.

This growth birthed a collective movement, spawning influential labels such as D.A.V.E. The Drummer’s ‘Hydraulix’, Geezer’s ‘R.A.W.’, Julian Liberator’s ‘4 x 4’, Chris Liberator’s ‘Maximum Minimum’, and Ant’s ‘Powertools’. These labels became the torchbearers of this new Acid Techno sound and movement
