Live on Acid

Punky. Minimal. Dirty. Electronic. Disco. Manchester-based Live on Acid are creating music that is stripped back and organic, at the same time as unapologetically electronic. Eschewing the super-saw waves and clean shimmer and shine of modern dance music, for analogue mono-synths, grittiness and noise. These tracks are written with a discerning dancefloor front of mind, not a bright super-club, but a low dark-ceilinged basement somewhere under a bar in the northern quarter of Manchester in the early hours of the morning. Writing for their city and their time, but with a foot and an ear firmly in the past. Anthony and Matt are heavily influenced by the music and the vibes that they’ve danced to and played in venues (large and small) all their adult lives.
