Acid Techno royalty-free music

Acid techno is built on one sound: the squelching, rubbery line of the Roland TB-303 bass synth. It took hold in mid-1990s London squat parties and still sounds wild.

Where acid techno fits

• rave and club content;
• art and fashion films;
• dark tech and sci-fi scenes;
• visualizers and VJ loops.

The acid line

The TB-303 was meant to imitate a bass guitar, but producers twisted its filter and resonance knobs until it squealed and bubbled. Over a pounding techno kick around 130 to 140 BPM, that acid line becomes the hook. For rave and club content, the squelch alone sets the scene. For art films and visualizers, the bubbling, shifting sound offers many small moments to sync with.

Make an acid techno track

Describe it, for example pounding acid techno with squelching 303 line for a rave video, and Mubert Render writes an original track. More of the genre is on the Techno page.
