====Manchester and 'Madchester'====
Acid house was also popular in [[Manchester]]. The Thunderdome (which was generally advertised as a techno night) in Miles Platting was at the epicenter of the scene and gave rise to acts like [[A Guy Called Gerald]], [[808 State]], Jam MC's, [[DJ Dbreathe|dbreathe]], Steve Williams and Jay Wearden. A Greater Manchester-based producer called [[Baby Ford|Peter Ford]] teamed up with Richard Salt and recorded a record called "Oochy Koochy", regarded as the first British acid house track. Released by dance indie Rhythm King Records as "Oochy Koochy (FU Baby Yeah Yeah)" under the name [[Baby Ford]], the record peaked at number 58 on the [[UK Singles Chart]] on 24 September 1988 and was followed by Baby Ford's "Chikki Chikki Ahh Ahh" hit.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/25079/baby-ford/|title=BABY FORD &#124; full Official Chart History |website=Officialcharts.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/19880918/7501/|title=Official Singles Chart Top 100 |website=Officialcharts.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|url=http://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/acid-radical/2314|title=Acid Radical (MT Dec 1988)|first=David|last=Bradwell|date=December 7, 1988|journal=Music Technology|issue=Dec 1988|pages=82–84}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ra.co/reviews/24050|title=Rewind: Baby Ford - 'Ooo' The World Of Baby Ford · Album Review |website=[[Resident Advisor]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://the-garage-recording-studio.com/artists-a-l/baby-ford/|title=Baby Ford|website=The-garage-recording-studio.com|date=August 29, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://museumofyouthculture.com/madchester/|title=Madchester |website=Museumofyouthculture.com|date=6 December 2019|access-date=9 January 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.attackmagazine.com/features/long-read/getting-to-know-baby-ford/|title=Getting To Know Baby Ford|date=January 13, 2016|website=Attack Magazine}}</ref>
 
The genre was extremely popular with the city's [[football hooligans]]. According to [[Manchester United]] football hooligan Colin Blaney in ''Hotshot: The Story of a Little Red Devil'', the acid house venues were the only place where rival hooligan gangs would mix, without coming to blows with one another.<ref>Colin Blaney, ''Hotshot: The Story of a Little Red Devil'', Milo Books, p. 157</ref>
