Chris Coco discovers the stories behind the last great youth movement - Acid House.

Veteran DJ and producer Chris Coco goes in search of the people, places and stories which make up the last great youth culture movement - Acid House.

Acid House: the Next Generation

As part of Radio 2's season devoted to dance music, producer and veteran acid house DJ Chris Coco rewinds to 1988 for an exploration of the drug-fuelled dance phenomenon known as acid house, which injected a late-60s hippy-trippy ethos with a modern - and more overtly hedonistic - sensibility. Pausing for thought to recall the days of illegal raves and all-night repetitive beats are Peter Hook (of New Order), Hacienda DJ/writer Dave Haslam, DJ/historian Bill Brewster, Radio 1 presenters Annie Mac, Pete Tong and Judge Jules, Tom Findlay (of Groove Armada), X-Press 2, the Chemical Brothers, Klaxons, Does It Offend You, Yeah? and others.
