Doc’n Roll: Rave Party Documentary

Join us for a screening of “Rave Party: A New Era,” a documentary film featuring Orbital, The Prodigy, General Levy, Baby D, DJ Rap, Slipmatt, Uncle Dugs, Goldie, Jumpin Jack Frost, and many more. Late 80s. In an England suffocated by unemployment and Margaret Thatcher’s policies, a generation found refuge and a voice in electronic music. In abandoned factories and secret fields, underground raves were born -explosions of light and sound where thousands of youths escaped social oppression to the rhythm of a new musical genre: breakbeat, fusing the raw intensity of Detroit techno, the warmth of Chicago house, and the energy of New York hip hop. An electrifying journey into the heart of the rave revolution, from the first illegal beats in England to its global explosion. Through never-before-seen archival footage, interviews with the most underground pioneers, and a soundtrack that still resonates today, this documentary unveils the story of a movement that transformed music, culture, and the very essence of nightlife.
