Acid Eastern
Acid Eastern is a live electronic music project created by NYC DJs / producers David Kiss and Material Witness.
As veterans of the NYC nightlife scene, they’re each responsible for some of the most psychotic party experiences over the last decade: Rinsed, Coke Yacht, and Things Might Get Weird, and met in 2015 as part of a group of creatives collaborating on the legendary ‘Don’t Sleep’ rave. Shortly after, they bonded over a love of Jodorowsky, bathhouses, dolphins, and of course, acid.
Their live performances have evolved over the last 2 years via a monthly residency at House Of Yes; 7-hour marathon performances infused with dirty bass guitar, 303 acid lines, undisputed drum grooves, and moody vocals, all devolving into sound baths heralded by the beloved Lady Gonga, a giant gong. They are always joined by their absurdist friends and performers who utilize butoh, typewriters, and meditation, to keep Æ from flying off the rails and tearing a hole in the universe.
The rest of it — two more paragraphs
As DJs, Æ have been anointing dance floors with trance-inducing journeys of psychedelic acid-house and crunchy-electro, accompanied by ever-present performers and muses, who invite any and all to join as acolytes of dance and time dilation.
They are currently the resident performers at the Onyx Room at House Of Love, a monthly fetish party at House Of Yes in Brooklyn, where they play all night on the last Friday of every month.

Who they play with
Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.
David Kiss has stood on 2 of these bills. David Kiss is one of the names Acid Eastern records under, so they are named here rather than counted as company. — their aliases on Resident Advisor
