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.

Behind the Scenes with Genesis’88 | Acid House 1989
Genesis’88 staged three illegal parties in Ferry Lane, North London. The first epic party was on the 11th February 1989 and the last a few weeks later. Numerous waypoints worthy of note have been documented including fronting two police captains, standing up against two police riot squads, and staring down the barrel of a robbers gun. This is also the night their full security team demanded a cut of profits from then onwards otherwise they’d take the nights takings and leave. Thousands of people attended the events, many later commented on how their lives are transformed by Genesis’88 events.

Hm Government vs Acid House 1988 - 1990
The third in a series of podcasts deep diving the printed media’s reporting on Acid House and the people attending events. The sensationalised headlines were mostly written by anonymous journalists, although the named journo’s were just as ferocious. The style of reporting we’ve since witnessed when the state moves to shutdown a national threat. Hundreds of articles were constructed to misinform the general public so laws and governmental powers to curb the assembly of people could be fast-tracked into play.

The Eighty Eight Podcast | #11 | Declassified Acid House Files pt1
Season 1 · Episode 11
Wednesday, November 25, 2020 • Duration 01:37:57
Government Confidential Files Released Nearly Thirty Years After Acid House
Wayne Anthony deep dives the declassified Acid House files released by the National Archives in 2016. Contrary to popular belief the Tory government headed by Margaret Thatcher appear more concerned with noise pollution than health and safety. Confidential memos even state that ‘drugs are not the main issue’ MP Carolyn Sinclair. This may come as a surprise to most considering all the bad press until this point. The government were also considering making ‘noise’ a criminal offence with heavy penalties for the prosecuted. The declassified files outline various methods of dealing with Acid House ‘organisers’, venue owners and anyone remotely connected to Acid House parties.

Acid House Trashed by All News Outlets 1989 Onwards
In the second part of Wayne Anthony’s analysis of news stories published by media outlets between 1989 and 1990. Hundreds of news articles are printed during this period. The sensationalised headlines were targeting parents and voters. The aim is to change the law, further restricting the movement of people. The news stories were instrumental in engineering fear among parents. The articles highlighted key areas they wanted to change but needed the full backing of the general public to make it happen. Wayne Anthony shares his personal commentary on each article featured in the video.
