Cover of Cult to Culture Issue 1 featuring archival rave photography from the UK underground scene

A Documentation of the UK Rave Scene 1988-2018

Issue 1 marked the beginning of Cult to Culture Press - an attempt to capture fragments of a culture that was never meant to last, yet somehow never disappeared.

Originally released in a strictly limited run of 100 signed and numbered copies, the publication appeared at the closing party for the Lomography Gallery London (because we missed the print deadline for the launch!).

Now republished as an Open Edition, A Documentation of the UK Rave Scene 1988–2018 gathers together photographs from three decades of UK rave culture across 74 full-colour pages.

Inside are images from the fields of Jenkins Lane to Berwick Manor, early Jungle Fever and World Dance, alongside countless moments whose exact dates and locations have long since blurred into myth and memory.

Featuring an introduction by promoter Richard Raindance, this first issue is a partial record of dancefloors, nights and people that helped shape a movement.

This is not a complete history.
Just part of our story.
