Taking us from the streets of England to the dance floors of Tenerife, Rave Culture explores how an underground movement rose to transform the global music scene, challenging conventions and creating a lasting legacy.

From the rise of breakbeat to the explosion of acid house and beyond, the film takes us through a critical period in music and cultural history where ecstasy, creativity and freedom were the words to live by.

With exclusive interviews, unseen footage and a soundtrack featuring Orbital, The Prodigy, Goldie, Altern 8 and many more, the film reveals itself as a key chapter in the story of today’s festival landscape and the phenomenon of contemporary DJ culture
