When #JoinTheFuture was published in 2019, I could never have imagined that five years later I would be at the ICA in London for a screening of a film inspired by it - Jashan Walton’s Ultraviolet Neon Planet (the title is taken from a Rob Gordon quote in the book). Mad how life pans out!

Had to offer this up for the #raveyarsahift - one of my favourite under-appreciated gems from the bleep era, and one that JD Twitch loves too. For that reason it had to go on the #JoinTheFuture comp. The sole DJ Martin and DJ Homes remix too

As part of telling the story in #JoinTheFuture, I also documented the roots and pre-history - so if Yorkshire club culture (and reggae Soundsystem culture) in the 80s and early 90s interests you (plus the wider socio-political aspects), there’s plenty of detail
