Y is for Yikes

Yikes held rave style events from around 1992 one of their first being at the Rivermead Center in Reading. They were more drum n bass/jungle than classic hardcore with the pa at this one being 2 Bad Mice and DJs along the lines of JJ Frost, Randal etc. The image shown is from a party from New Year 92 that they did in conjunction with Kaos at the Academy in Brixton. Its our favourite of the flyers we have so far found.

Z is for Zest

Zest is for Zest at Venue 44 in Mansfield. Though why do so many flyers not have the year on!!!! We dont know to much about this night, so if you can help with the years, or reviews do get in touch.

We have just completed another big upload and loads more flyers are now in the archive.

A is for Amnesia House

Amnesia House have been around since 1989 and though there early flyers are not stunning examples of what a classic rave flyer is, some of their later ones are classic examples of how raves used popular culture to advertise events. Take the Benson & Hedges flyer as an example. Its unmistakable as the cigeratte packets but it Amnesia as well. A number of other companies used this same trick including the Eclipse (classic Eastenders one for instance) and Sterns/Interdance.

I don't think they are as nice to look at as some of the more computer imagery ones but they are a very distinct style. What do you think?
