The Eighty Eight Podcast - #19 - NFTs Archiving History
Season 1 · Episode 19
Wednesday, March 31, 2021 • Duration 38:15
Acid House NFTs | Genesis’88 NFTs | NFTs Future
Wayne Anthony discusses the option of digitally archiving EDM history including The Second Summer of Love in 1988. Wayne is internationally recognised for staging some of the biggest illegal Acid House (Rave) parties in history. It was the effort of his organisation Genesis’88 and a handful of other large scale party promoters that pioneered a series of events never experienced in the UK. Genesis’88 flyers are highly sought and sell for hundreds of pounds.
Wayne shares some thoughts and opinions on how promoters, artists and musicians can reclaim ownership over their creative output. Wayne was the first person to mint an Acid House NFT in the form of a Genesis’88 Chapter 1 flyer. A fitting beginning for archiving a generational shift unlike any other in history. Wayne has already created limited edition Acid House artwork for minting into NFT and will continue to explore this area.
Host: Wayne Anthony (Genesis’88 / Class of 88 Author)

Paul Ibiza has been kicking off doors since he was fifteen. He began staging soul parties from an early age and continued staging events for over 3 decades. In that time he has founded a new genre of music which he called Jungle. Launched the biggest Jungle record label on the planet. A label still very active today which presses vinyl at his own plant. When Acid House came along in 1988, Paul ventured to the historic hotspots that launched Acid House. Paul took the promoter blueprint from Genesis’88 and established The Fantastic Ibiza as a powerful platform for emerging talent. Paul shares many stories on his epic journey through EDM, staging dozens of parties.

Acid House Trashed by All News Outlets 1988 - 1990
In this podcast Wayne Anthony deep dives some newspaper articles of 1988, highlighting the propaganda surrounding Acid House. Sensationalised media stories produced hundreds of Acid House headlines over a period of two years. Clickbait wasn’t a term back then but newspapers and TV programs were manufacturing clickbait at an alarming rate. Fake news stories were firing up Middle Englanders against youth culture. They were instrumental in bringing the culture into every household in the country. Saatchi & Saatchi couldn’t have designed a better marketing campaign. News reports were mostly negative and pushed certain themes. The end game is changing the law to restrict the movement of people and make ‘noise’ an actual crime with penalties enforced by law.

The British Keyboard Wizard of Acid House | Adamski
Adam was destined for a life in the arts. Influenced by the likes of Malcolm Maclaren and the DIY culture of punk. Adam was making music with his brother on cheap recorders, when others were out playing cowboys and Indians. A firm favourite of John Peel, Adam set his sights on a career in the music industry. Influenced by Acid House, Adamski was born in 1989. Everyone booked him to play at their events, the journey took him around the country. The album Live and Direct featured a series of instrumentals produced at home in his bedsit. Singles such as NRG charted and Adamski appeared on Top of the Pops. This wouldn’t be his last appearance on Britain’s top music show. Adamski teamed up with Seal for the Number One track Killer.

The Eighty Eight Podcast | #06 | Joe Wieczorek - Labrynth
Season 1 · Episode 6
Tuesday, October 27, 2020 • Duration 02:00:07
Wayne Anthony & Labrynth Joe Discuss Acid House & Beyond
Joe staged over 1,000 events with Labrynth over a thirty year period. Established during the heyday of Acid House in the late nineteen eighties. Labrynth staged a series of illegal warehouse parties around London. Well known faces on the scene, Joe and partner Sue evolved with the new emerging scene of Happy Hardcore, Jungle & Drum n Bass. They started a residency at world famous black club 4 Aces which continued for 8 years. They platformed numerous DJs and British bands such as The Prodigy, a newly formed act that performed for less than £100. Wayne and Joe discuss a number of topics ranging from fighting skinheads, singing Feed the World on stage at Live Aid, promoting Labrynth, dodgy security teams, illegal warehouse parties and more…
The term legal has many definitions but history denotes Raindance as the first British dance party promoters granted an all night music and dance licence in 1990. Raindance Richard has been at the helm since 1989 and one of the longest running outfits in the UK. Richard started with Acid House but today stages multi-arena events playing Hardcore, Jungle, Drum n Bass and Garage music. Pez was throwing up graffiti when Acid House arrived in the UK. He partied hard at all the big named clubs and events. Spotting an opportunity he seized on the idea of designing flyers for party promoters. Raindance became his number one client, designing countless flyers and visuals for their events.
Early Acid House initiates may remember the Rave at the Cave. A mechanics railway archway in Elephant Castle, South London. A venue which hosted a series of iconic events at the height of the Second Summer of Love 1988. Attracting up-for-it party enthusiasts from all corners of the city.
Two of the original promoters DJ EllisDee & Steve Whyte (DJ Chalk E White) share their untold stories. This small underground venue is widely ignored by history. Podcast host Wayne Anthony attended most of the events staged there. Rave at the Cave was brought to dramatic closure when raided by a police squad that rolled up on a train. Accompanying the raiding party was investigative TV news program World in Action. On that very night across London in Aldgate East, Wayne Anthony and partner Andrew were holding their first Genesis’88 event.
Magical Mystery Tour 1988 | Energy 1989 | Bliss | SAS
Wayne Anthony, Jeremy Taylor & TinTin reminisce the late nineteen eighties. Energy staged some of the biggest Acid House events in history. The partners focused on high end production in sound, lighting and custom built props. They organised some of the most memorable events of the period (1988 - 1990). Staged in venues such as Theatres, Country Fields, Aircraft Hangers and Film Studios. The promoters share great insight and behind the scene stories. Energy grew so big they hired an SAS team to protect them from gangsters attempting to extort money from them.
Ian Milne was considered a Fixer in the Acid House days. He acquired venues for some of the biggest Acid House party promoters of the period. Properties he sourced by flying around the M25 in a single engine aircraft. Ian is well known for publishing the first fully dedicated lifestyle magazine with dance music and culture as the central theme. Ian has kept himself away from public glare so it’s a rare treat to hear his story.
