 +'''Lords of Acid''' is a [[Belgium|Belgian]] [[acid house]] band from the 1990s that started as a spinoff of [[Praga Khan]] with the controversial [[New Beat]] single "[[I Sit on Acid]]" in 1988.

Their second album was ''[[Voodoo-U]]'', which featured a more [[industrial music|industrial]] sound. This was followed by ''[[Our Little Secret]]'' (1997), ''[[Heaven Is an Orgasm]]'' (1998) and ''[[Expand Your Head]]'' (1999).

-'''Praga Khan''' (real name: [[Maurice Engelen]]) is an early [[techno music]] [[musician]]. His [[Belgian]] [[New Beat]] style stems back to the 1980s when techno came out of the [[Belgian underground]]. Praga Khan teamed up with [[Jade 4U]] and [[Oliver Adams]] to form [[Lords of Acid]] (also known as "Digital Orgasm") in the late 1980s. Praga Khan's most famous [[solo (music)|solo]] work is the rave anthem "Injected with a Poison".
