Italian techno powerhouse 999999999 joins forces with Los Angeles-based producer Marie Vaunt for their explosive new collaboration, “I Got Acid,” out now via Insomniac’s Mutate Records.
Built around the unmistakable sound of the Roland TB-303, “I Got Acid” is a high-octane hard techno weapon that showcases the strengths of both artists. Fusing relentless acid lines, pounding kicks, crisp breakbeats, industrial textures, and hypnotic vocals, the track delivers an uncompromising club anthem engineered for peak-time festival and warehouse sets.
Rooted firmly in 999999999’s signature acid-driven sound, the release expands on the duo’s celebrated catalog while remaining true to the live hardware performances and improvisational energy that have made them one of techno’s most respected acts. The driving production is elevated by Marie Vaunt’s haunting vocal performance, adding an ethereal yet commanding presence that perfectly complements the track’s relentless momentum.
“This track is for everyone who loves acid at full power: a fast and energetic club weapon with the energy of a festival destroyer,” says 999999999.
Marie Vaunt adds, “’I Got Acid’ is a high-octane tribute to the foundations of rave culture. We pushed the tempo and let the 303s run wild to create a track that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. Collaborating with 999999999 allowed me to push the envelope of what a techno track can be.”
Over the past several years, 999999999 has become one of techno’s most in-demand live acts, earning a reputation for hardware-driven performances packed with dark, acid-heavy grooves. Since launching their own NineTimesNine imprint, the duo has amassed more than 58 million streams across their catalog. Their growing discography includes collaborations with artists such as Slam, FLKN, and Angel Cannon.
Marie Vaunt continues to establish herself as one of techno’s fastest-rising producers. The Japanese American artist recently reached No. 1 on Beatport’s Top 100 with her hit single “That Acid,” earning widespread support from artists including Eli Brown, Charlotte de Witte, Maddix, Amelie Lens, John Summit, and Adam Beyer.
