We Are Phuture
with James Kendall
The popular tale credits acid house to a legendary Ibiza trip by four London DJs, but music journalist James Kendall tells a more complex and diverse backstory.
The former DJmag writer traces the scene's roots through the warehouse parties of the rare groove scene, the rebellious spirit of new age travellers, and the black jazz dance scene in Manchester.
This is a story about cultural synthesis and resistance, not just a singular, monumental holiday. It’s a narrative that spotlights the multifaceted contributions from communities often left out of the mainstream recounting.
Join us as we dissect how rave culture truly began, challenging the typical white, London-centric narrative and celebrating the diverse influences that shaped this pivotal movement in British youth culture.
