The Story of UK Rave

It’s been over thirty years since rave culture rose to prominence in the UK, launching a new youth movement that genuinely shaped a generation. With Britain’s youth facing similar socio-political challenges to those that provided a dark backdrop to rave’s early years, Amazon Music explores UK rave’s story to date, and where it might be going next.

‘Better Days’ documents over 30 years of UK rave culture; from the first wave of illegal free parties to lockdown gatherings during the global pandemic and everything in between. Featuring interviews with Prospa, Sherelle, Orbital, Dance System, TSHA, and more.

The iconic Time Warp festival returned to South America this past weekend, taking over São Paulo's Vale do Anhangabaú for two nights of pulsating techno.

The festivities kicked off on Friday, May 3rd, with a diverse range of talent taking the stage. Local hero, ANNA, delivered a high-energy set, while the legendary Rødhåd kept the crowd moving with his signature driving techno.
