Viva Acid 2024 to host talks and workshops with Gene Farris, DJ Hyperactive, Radio Slave, Glenn Underground

Acid music fans will get the opportunity to explore the genre when Viva Acid 2024 lands in Chicago next month.

From Thursday, October 3rd to Sunday, October 6th, the Podlasie Club will host a series of workshops, talks, and performances that explore the roots of Acid House and its lasting impact on electronic music culture.

Pioneers such as Gene Farris, DJ Hyperactive, and Radio Slave will feature alongside emerging artists with this year’s theme: 'transcending scarcity to build resilient ecosystems'.

Workshops will delve into production techniques, covering essential topics such as 'approaching remixing' and 'creating what you hear'.

Panel discussions will tackle broader industry issues, such as 'maximizing reach' and 'marketing authenticity', providing timely reminders of the importance of staying grounded in music and maintaining genuine connections in a crowded market.

Among the artists providing a showcase of the acid sound will be Radio Slave, Flores Negras, Lauren Flax b2b DJ Slugo, Steve Noah, Microdot, and Glenn Underground.

The event will also host the premiere of Children of Acid, produced by Viva Acid in collaboration with Baffe Productions.

The film provides a deep discovery into the history and evolution of Chicago’s acid house scene.
