Fiorucci made me Hardcore – Mark Leckey

Posted on by

Haunting, disorientating short film from Turner prize winner Mark Leckey. Using found footage of different eras of nightlife & dancers to create a film and sound collage taking us from Northern Soul to Acid house. Dark, edgy but strangely captivating…

Flowered Up – Weekender

Posted on by

Classic, cult video for Flowered Up‘s epic 1992 ‘Weekender‘ single (famously mixed by Andrew Weatherall), Brighton film maker Wiz created this dark slice of dance floor escape & hedonism, capturing the first rush of acid house as is washed over London. Some great details in the film, like the Friday night rush at the counter of Quaff records in Soho, and the pirate radio crackling through the intro. The film closes with the words ‘Dedicated to the sufferers of Saturday Night Fever Everywhere. May We Never Be Cured’
