Bring the rave right into your living room with this atmospheric print. Taken in June 1988 at Spectrum, an acid house night at London club Heaven, Dave Swindell’s photograph captures the vibrancy of the rave scene as clubber Desmond Murray dances in the spotlight.
British photographer Dave Swindells has documented London’s nightlife through the rise of electronic music and raves to the present day. His role as Nightlife Editor at Time Out magazine in the ‘80s gave him a front row seat to capture the nascent rave scene as it grew in the UK.
The photograph has been expertly printed on the highest quality paper.
