What’s the most creative venue you’ve heard of for an illegal rave? Mark Wright aka DJ Pressure M came in for a chat about his role in the birth of the cultural music movement that was the UK rave scene.. we talk warehouse parties, creative rave venues and the pirate radio stations that fuelled it all.
From the energy of illegal raves, the criminalisation of “repetitive beats” (they were proper scrambling for something to criminalise with that one ha) the resilience and revolution of rave culture, this episode is a journey through music, nostalgia, resilience and the power of community.
Now available everywhere you get your podcasts, you don’t want to miss this one. x
