Bringing together two distinctive forces in electronic music, ‘Acid Nation’ fuses Marie Vaunt’s signature acid-driven intensity with Bassjackers’ high-energy rave sound. The result is a fast, bouncing record built for the dancefloors that highlighted Tomorrowland’s mainstage.
Driven by relentless drums, a commanding low end and acid-infused synth work, ‘Acid Nation’ builds tension before exploding into a powerful, high-energy drop. The track sits at the intersection of acid techno, bouncy rave energy and mainstage impact, bringing together the darker side of the rave with the kind of energy made for peak-time moments.
For Marie Vaunt, the collaboration continues an already prolific relationship with Arcane Music, following a run of high-impact releases including ‘Let The Bass Kick’, ‘Never Gonna Stop’ and her ‘303 101’ EP. Her Arcane catalogue has consistently showcased her ability to push acid and techno elements into powerful, dancefloor-focused territory.
Bassjackers bring their high-energy sound to the collaboration, combining bouncy grooves and rave energy with Marie’s darker, acid-led aesthetic. It’s another step in the duo’s evolving sound, built around fast grooves, big energy and records made to move a crowd.
Marie Vaunt & Bassjackers ‘Acid Nation’ is out now on Arcane Music.

ABOUT BASSJACKERS
DJ Marlon Flohr and producer Ralph van Hilst make up Bassjackers. Marlon brings the energy on stage, while Ralph shapes the sound in the studio, a one-DJ/one-producer setup that has defined them from the start.
Their sound is something they call tech bounce: fast, bouncy and high-energy, blending techno, hard dance and old-school rave with their Dutch roots running through it. At its core, it’s about making people move. Their sets run in waves of intensity and emotion while keeping the groove alive, from dark rooms to massive stages.
With over a billion streams and their latest releases hitting the upper ranks of the Beatport Hard Dance charts, their music finds support across the spectrum, from Sara Landry to John Summit and 999999999 to Armin van Buuren. Having played the world’s biggest stages, from Tomorrowland and Ultra to EDC, recent collaborations with Hardwell, Hannah Laing, Space 92, Maddix and Charlie Sparks see Bassjackers continue to push their sound forward.
