In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats
From poster-strewn bedrooms to pirate radio stations, police headquarters to secret warehouses, step into the shoes of rave culture pioneers as you go in search of the party.
Witness this social phenomenon first-hand, in a VR experience set at the end of a turbulent decade in the UK. Combining Acid House tracks with interactivity and multi-sensory simulation.
In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats brings to life the stories of the promoters, police officers, and rave-goers, whose rivalries and relationships drove a revolution in music and society.
Book your ticket back to 1989 to share in an experience that shaped a generation; to feel the anticipation, the trepidation, the excitement, and the euphoria that was Acid House.
Accompanying the experience is an exhibition on rave culture in the 80’s and 90’s, featuring a celebration of local histories including events in Brighton Dome Corn Exchange
