Various - Evil Acid Barons

Celebrating 5 Years of Acid on the Moors. 2LP compilation featuring exclusive tracks from Justin Robertson, Rich Lane, Duncan Gray and many more.

Five years ago “The portal opened and we all got sucked in.” A cosmic musical journey on the Moors – Evil Acid Barons Festival marks its 5th birthday with a special compilation release: Evil Acid Barons 26. This album captures the spirit of the festival that’s quietly become one of the UK’s most beloved underground acid house gatherings. Compiled exclusively by the brothers & Sisters of the Acid Barons.

From twisted 303 workouts to dubbed-out warehouse stompers and cosmic late-night grooves, Evil Acid Barons is both a snapshot of our scene and a love letter to five years of dancing on the moors.

Made with Love in Memory of our dear friend Melanie that lost her brave battle to cancer this year, all proceeds from the Album will go to Macmillan Cancer Support Charity as well as a memorial bench for Melanie on the festival site.

This is acid culture, alive and kicking.

Evil Plans is more than just a club brand—it’s a musical rebellion against the mainstream, brought to life by the unapologetic vision of Ed Tomlinson and Jamie Tolley. These two underground veterans have channelled decades of experience into curating a night that thrives on the underground, with a beautifully orchestrated descent into musical chaos. Acid house chancers and techno revolutionaries, Ed and Jamie have spent their lives immersed in electronic music culture, always championing the alternative over the obvious.

Evil Plans has long ditched the predictable in favour of sonic anarchy. It exists to shake up the formulaic party scene, diving deep into the dark, twisted corners of electronic music. With a nod to the subversive spirit of major influence Andrew Weatherall, Tomlinson and Tolley challenge the status quo, blending the lighter shades of techno with shadowy house and leftfield electronic sounds. Evil Plans isn’t for the casual clubber; it’s for those who crave something deeper, something with an edge. This is a movement born out of a love for the underground, where every night feels like a beautifully orchestrated revolution.
