The story behind Acid Punks
Acid Punks is the collaboration between Ace Ventura and Outsiders, bringing together Yoni Oshrat with Outsiders members Haim Lev and Guy Malka. The project emerged publicly in the mid-2020s after the artists developed several tracks together and appeared under the Acid Punks name in 2024.
Its early releases includes the Synergy EP on Mutant Disco Records in 2025 and subsequent releases and remixes.
