Following a string of explosive releases on labels like Acid Artists In Action (Triple A), Stay Up Forever, Hydraulix, and Cluster, ACERBIC is raising the stakes with a colossal triple-vinyl, limited-edition LP on the SUF/Hydraulix collaboration label. Packed with nothing but high-energy, dancefloor-destroying cuts, it kicks off with the anthemic 'Acid Way Of Life' and powers through a relentless selection of techno and acid techno bangers that push the boundaries of both genres. No filler, just pure, peaktime fire. Already road-tested by scene legends D.A.V.E. The Drummer and Chris Liberator, this one is sure to rip up rulebooks and dancefloors alike.

Acerbic 
(Stay Up Forever/Hydraulix/Cluster/Perc Trax)

Acerbic is the exciting new acid and hard techno project from Ant Wilson, aka Chicago Loop (Tronic/Respekt/Toolroom) and formerly known as DJ ANT (Powertools Records/Stay Up Forever Collective). 

After a 10 year hiatus from acid and hard techno, writing and performing more mainstream techno under the name Chicago Loop, Ant felt that in 2023 it was high time to revisit a scene that he knew and loved so much, the London Underground scene, and therefore created an exciting new project to fulfil this desire. And so Acerbic was born.

Poised to take on the acid and hard techno scene with full force, ACERBIC launched in 2023 with a well received 4-track vinyl release on 'Stay Up Forever’s' sister acid label, ‘Acid Artists in Action’, with the lead track, ‘XXX’, becoming the acid techno anthem of the summer after causing huge scenes at both Glastonbury Festival and Boomtown Fair. This was closely followed by a huge 3 track digital EP on D.A.V.E. The Drummer’s infamous ‘Hydraulix Records’, released to coincide with his main room set at the Hydraulix party with Slam at Club Fold in London last October. Then at the end of the year, two more 4-track vinyl releases were sent to the cutting room and readied for release for 2024. The first one being the hard hitting ‘In Your Face EP’ on the collective's main imprint itself, ’Stay Up Forever’, which was released in March and a storming techno release on ‘Cluster Records’, called 'Ready Player One', released a couple of months later in May. In addition to the SUF and Cluster vinyl releases, he also dropped a slamming 2 track 303 driven acid techno EP, called 'High-Voltage', on Mark Sherry’s 'Techburst Records', a full-force techno slammer on vinyl on Ireland's ‘Interruption Recs’, a killer 4 track digital EP on Belgium's ‘Arkham XXX’, a huge 2 track EP on Canada's ‘Resilient Recordings’, a monster rave anthem on Skirra’s Mechanikal' and finally a slamming remix of Krissmix's' 'Pills Of The 90's' on 'Stay Up Forever'.

It has already been a busy year for ACERBIC releases, but there's more big news yet to be announced! SUFHYDRO (a collaboration label between Stay Up Forever and Hydraulix) is set to release a huge 12 track Acerbic triple vinyl and digital album. Exactly when the release date will be set for is unknown as of yet, but the process of manufacturing has begun on this massive project, so watch this space! Additionally, watch out for a slamming remix of 'Perc's 'Imperial Leather' on  'Perc Trax', due for both vinyl and digital release in February 2025.
Ant’s long-awaited return to the acid and hard techno family is in full effect!

The name Chicago Loop has now been firmly stamped throughout the modern world of techno, albeit within a fairly short space of time. The man behind this relatively new alias however, is certainly not a newcomer to the scene. Ant Wilson, or Ant to his friends, has been producing electronic music and traveling the globe playing clubs, events and festivals for the last 25 years from Japan to North and South America, Russia, South Africa, Europe and everywhere in between.

Within just a few years of launching this project, Chicago Loop has secured releases on major labels such as Phobiq, Respekt, Toolroom, Riot, Funk’N Deep, Renesanz and Techburst and his tracks have received continued support from some of the scenes biggest players. His 2016 techno hit, “Use Me” on Techburst Records enjoyed over 200 days in the Beatport Hard Techno chart and sat at the No.1 spot for over 25 days. In addition to the many successes with releases, Chicago Loop has also showcased his sound around the world, playing events in places such as Asia, South America and across Europe. Some highlights have included the legendary “Techno Tuesday Amsterdam” and the sold out “Welcome To The Future Festival” events. 

Always busy in the studio continually writing more techno and with many high profile releases currently being secured, Chicago Loop is certainly making some big waves in the techno scene right now.
