Manchester orbital raves you can feel in your teeth.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Filmed in 2011 but feels like a post-mortem — the UK rave scene this depicts was already being heritage-ified by the time cameras rolled.

Trivia

Jack O'Connell did his own MDMA research by attending actual club nights — method acting for the serotonin-depleted.
