"Acid Tracks" is a 12-inch single released in 1987 by Phuture. It considered the first song made using the Roland TB-303 synthesizer to create the acid house "squelch" sound. The 303 was originally designed as a bass accompaniment for bands, but ended up as a favorite among electronic-music producers. The style with which this song became associated became known as acid house.
