acid dave

Acid Dave is an experimental electronic music producer and visual artist hailing from Dublin, Ireland, whose work explores the boundaries of sound, technology, and surreal narrative. Emerging in the mid-2010s from the vibrant DIY underground scene, Acid Dave quickly developed a cult following for his genre-defying live performances, fusing acid house, ambient, IDM, and industrial influences with a distinctly Irish sensibility. Known for his use of analog synths, modified drum machines, and field recordings collected in urban and rural Ireland, Acid Dave crafts immersive, sometimes chaotic sonic landscapes that evoke both euphoria and nostalgia.

His visual art combines vivid, glitched-out digital collage with evocative references to Irish folklore and post-industrial decline, creating a striking multidisciplinary aesthetic. Acid Dave’s works have been showcased in alternative clubs, art galleries, and at international festivals, earning him recognition as one of Ireland’s most innovative and uncompromising artists. With each release, he continues to push artistic boundaries, collaborating with poets, filmmakers, and dancers, bringing Irish outsider culture to the global avant-garde.
