Cult to Culture - Book III

This third publication by Cult to Culture continues our ongoing exploration of the UK rave scene. In this issue, we shift our focus to a series of parties hosted by Raindance, pioneers of the early rave scene and the first organisation to hold legal all-night events in the country.

These parties took place in a series of cavernous railway arches beneath the old London Bridge Station. Over an 11-year residency from 1999 to 2010, these arches became a 30,000 square foot labyrinth where people from all across the country came to lose themselves in the music.

This book features photographs, flyers, and ephemera from approximately forty parties in the venue known as the Drome, later renamed SeOne, and finally Debut, arguably London’s greatest rave space.
