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 in 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'. 2024 had been a busy year for ACERBIC releases, but it was at the start of 2025 that really saw him up the game with 2 killer acid anthems on Resilient Record’s 100th release, his slamming remix of 'Perc's 'Imperial Leather' on  'Perc Trax’, which came out in March, and of course his massive 12 track, triple-vinyl and digital album release, BIG FAST SUPER BUZZ. Released in May on SUFHYDRO (a collaboration label between Stay Up Forever and Hydraulix) the LP received critical acclaim right across the underground techno and acid scenes, both nationally and internationally. Early copies of the 3 disc vinyl album sold out in one weekend when they were released exclusive to the Stay Up Forever store, and then proceeded to sell out in just one day when the official release became available through Juno and DeeJay a couple of weeks later. With future high profile releases and bookings being secured all the time, Ant’s long-awaited return to the acid and hard techno family is in full effect!
