[A2] Assimilate (Preview Edit) - Acerbic

Acerbic is the new hard and acid techno alias from Ant Wilson, aka Chicago Loop. Ant started DJ’ing and producing back in the early to mid 1990’s and it was on London’s underground illegal rave scene where he first started making a name for himself. 

After many years of touring and making records within that scene, it was around the beginning of the 2010’s that he began to shift his focus slightly and started to concentrate on launching a new alias, Chicago Loop. This alias was created to better represent the slightly more mainstream and club based techno that Ant increasingly found himself playing at that time and as a result, successfully created a solid name for himself within those circles. And this is the way it has stayed to this day, with Chicago Loop taking up the majority of Ant’s creative studio output… until now! 

Poised to take on the acid and hard techno scene with full force, Acerbic is set to launch in 2023 with 2 heavy 4-track vinyl releases on Stay Up Forever’s sister acid label, ‘Acid Artists in Action’, as well as SUF’s flagship techno label, Cluster Records. Plus, there’s plenty more hard-hitting techno to come from Acerbic, marking Ant’s long-awaited return to the acid and hard techno family. Watch this space…

- Producer/Remixer at DJ Hellraiser (active) - began in 1995 and is the current and ongoing main project, including all collaborations on Tracid Traxxx, StraightOn Black Recordings, Theracords/Therabyte, Stealth Industries/Third Movement, and Q-Dance.
- Producer/Remixer at Ad Nauseam, aka ADN (this project is no longer active) - 2003 as "Ad Nauseam," for one release on Schalldruck/Überdruck Records and then the project stopped for almost two decades; "Ad Nauseam" - was then rebooted and was active again producing and remixing hard acid techno including a collaboration with "Jack Wax" (NL), from 2020 to 2024 on Tension Music, Flatlife Records, Zodiak Commune Records, Disrupt The Surge, and the Stay Up Forever & Flatlife Records collaborative imprint "We Are Acid Family." Two remixes were released under the abbreviated moniker "ADN" which were, "Mauro Picotto - The Twilight Zone," on Alchemy Records in late-2023 (a hard acid techno remix of the 1999 underground techno hit Megamind - Taub), and "Andreas Kraemer & Jon Connor - Catch," on Sonaxx Records in mid-2024 (a hard techno/schranz remix featuring the vocal from Kosheen's chart topping club hit "Catch"). Both "Ad Nauseam" and "ADN" ceased being active projects in mid-2024 and are now defunct, with the two producers opting to pursue different creative directions under their solo monikers. A final release, as "Ad Nauseam," called the "Rave System E.P.," was released in early 2025, and included two new 90's rave inspired hard acid techno tracks, "Omega System," and "Alpha System," plus the previously unreleased 2004 hard acid techno track "Always Acid," due to high demand for its release on SoundCloud. The "Rave System E.P." was released on extremely limited edition yellow vinyl in a full-color picture sleeve and digital through Flatlife Records, and topped techno vinyl sales charts, and received major support from techno and acid techno DJs around the world.
