While These Are The Levels is composed of images from 18 storied years of Deviation club nights, it’s not your standard club night retrospective.
Not least of all was the decision to publish it on the platform’s 18th birthday – because, for @benjib and @judahlos_ , @deviationmusic being old enough to enter a club itself seemed more significant than the standard 10 or 20-year milestones.
The photos themselves, meanwhile, seem less concerned with highlighting the numerous high-profile names that have appeared on Deviation line-ups – Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, Virgil Abloh, to name just a few – and more concerned with documenting innocuous in-between moments on the dancefloor.
At the link in bio, the pair reveal some untold stories behind their favourite images featured in their new photobook 🔗

18 years of sound, culture & community. Last week we celebrated our 18th birthday — Deviation finally old enough to attend the club. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us. There’s no Deviation without the community.
