The 3rd Acidcast comes from french maestro Chris Carrier, a live recording at Robsoul Sonar Off Party in 2013.

Chris Carrier is one of those rare kinds of artists that have an omnipresent quality and yet do not seek to make their name bigger than the music itself. You may not know it but there is a 99% chance you have experienced some dancefloor-based elation at the hands of the Parisian maestro. Releasing his first EP in 1994, he has over 20 years under his belt as a producer and DJ, with a huge back catalogue of releases. With all of that in his locker, Carrier remains ardent in his quest to create more and more classic material and is revered as one of the most prolific and gifted producers around today.

There’s really only two places a DJ partnership should form; the dancefloor or a record shop. Fidel and Julian met in the latter. Black Market Records in Soho, to be precise. Drawn together by their love of house, East London resident and underground clubbing mainstay Fidel invited Romanian music obsessive Julian to join him back to back. A flurry of hyped sets later and the pair were shaking the bones of world famous club night Trade for its Final 25th birthday at The Egg, London.

Acidman was born. Its debut came bubbling from the decks of Dalston Superstore, East London’s premiere underground hub. Robsoul Recordings’ Jade Cox and Junior Boy’s own Terry Farley were among the special guests before the duo moved on to the Trapeze Basement club in Shoreditch, dividing their time between the residency and unforgettable parties in Palermo, Italy.

House might be having a mainstream resurgence, but the shudder of a crisp 4x4 has long echoed in the hearts of Fidel and Julian. Born in London’s East End, Fidel bought his first set of decks at 17. A firm fixture on the 90s club scene with a residency at Turnmills’ now defunct legendary night ‘Melt’, his productions with DJ Karim for house label Tripoli Trax were regularly championed by industry hero Carl Cox. 

Fidel has gone on to work with global club brands Ministry of Sound, Pacha and Space in Ibiza and has graced the decks at famed clubs around the globe, from China to Israel, Hong Kong to Europe, America and beyond, working alongside internationally acclaimed and highly sought after DJs including DJ Sneak, Terry Farley, The 2 Bears, Junior Sanchez, Sven Vath, Derrick May, Leftfield’s Paul Daley, Eddie Amador and Halo+Hippee.

Julian Murariu grew up in Romania. Raised on a diet of hip hop, he discovered house thanks to DJ Sneak’s genre-defining Chicago house set at Sunwaves festival on Romania’s Black Sea Beaches. Inspired by what he heard, Julian began throwing parties in his small home town before a move to Munich and his subsequent involvement in the Harry Klein scene inspired him to pursue a career in DJing for good. 

Acidman sees Fidel and Julian combine their passions to create the ultimate house-head experience. Crafting the very best in US and European house, it’s a carefully curated party that puts clubbers first. Mixing bouncing, jacking 4x4 with a penchant for disco, fresh from a fine lineage of influences including DJ Sneak, Phil Weeks, Green Velvet Butch, Martinez Brothers, Point G, Moodymann, Ricardo Villalobos, DJ Wild and Terry Farley.

From underground warehouse raves to sunlit festival stages, big room celebrations to carefully curated residencies, the Acidman sound is about two heads working as one, cut with the old and bringing in the new. Long live house.
