London Acid City - a short film

[blossie33]

That Access All Areas tent looks familiar - was it something like the Big Sexy Festy party that was in Hackney in early 2000s?

I think it was a party on Clapham Common, I went to that one and seem to remember the layout in the tent.

Sorry, I beg your pardon, I think it was Streatham Common - this one I think ..

Yes, that one I'm fairly sure - the vid is by EDIT who did the original one Editor posted.

I was thinking that: multi-storey office block on Tottenham Court Road?

My thoughts exactly!

It was in Brockwell Park, 2002

Was anybody else at the Nat West bank one in Streatham High St. Sep '97?

Looked like the building was empty for a few days, phones were still there, as were staff photos. The vault was a chill area.

That one scene of the lights, everybody dancing in the bank & on the counters will stay with me forever. Had me laughing my head off. One of my favourites.

My birthday too!

I'd put me hip out if I tried any of this out these days.

More from DJ Sterling Moss on his FB page...

Some news about the fantastic short films which featured at the London Acid City exhibition at FOLD earlier in the month!
Check out this TB-303 teaser, for what will eventually be a feature length documentary about Stay Up Forever and the London Acid Techno scene.
This is a huge project that will take some time to put together, but if anyone has any video content shot at higher resolution of the party scene over the years (which might be relevant), please get in touch via PM. Older formats can be accommodated also.
Thanks!
Sterling

And twentythreedom’s name on a few flyers there too
