“I hope it captures the sense of community, adventure and freedom that embodied that scene,” SeanaGavin says of her new book
is a document of a decade of my life capturing my friends and people who defined the scene, the build-up and aftermath of the parties, the journeys to and from, and the reality in between,” she says of the publication, which is on sale from today.features diary entries, flyers and ephemera which Gavin had saved from that time.
Here, Gavin shares a further insight into life in the underground rave scene and explains why the time is ripe for a rave revival.“I was part of the underground rave scene between 1993 and 2003. I first started attending the parties in London when I was 15. I was instantly hooked and it became a weekly ritual. I started to lead a double life: I’d go to school in the week, then the whole weekend would be taken up by going to the raves and hanging out in friends’ squats.
“I travelled through France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Hungary and Czech Republic in this way – usually for entire summers and for shorter trips throughout the year. By this point I was trying to finish an art degree at Camberwell.“There are parallels with the period of time that the acid house movement developed in this country and the political climate today. It feels like a natural cycle that happens.
