In 1986 Phuture, which consisted of DJ Pierre, Spanky and Herbert J produced
the seminal "Acid Trax." The first time it was played at a club it was
played four times that night. According to Pierre, the first time, everyone
was taken aback at this completely new and alien sound, but by the fourth
time, everyone loved it. The otherworldly sound became known as "acid."
While Acid House became an instant sensation in Chicago, it didn't catch on
anywhere else until late 1987, when it began to infiltrate the British club
scene. In February 1988 the British acid house craze was born at a warehouse
party called Hedonism. As acid tracks began to pour out of Chicago, the
British house scene grew exponentially - with DJs discovering that they had
years worth of Chicago records with they had been unable to play until then.
Acid house became the biggest youth fad since punk in Britain and British
producers began to produce acid house tracks.
