1989 – 1994 was a distinct period in music history; at the end of the acid house scene; garage, hardcore, jungle and drum and bass all emerged in quick succession. Waltham Forest played an important role in the development and dissemination of these musical genres, influencing a generation of musicians and young people. The borough's role in this scene happened because of the diverse cultural mix of the borough, its location and architecture. 

All of the DJs playing on the night were integral to the development of the local scene and have gone on to play nationally and internationally.

The weekend will also play host to the 'Sweet Harmony' exhibition including rare hand-painted 90s rave banners and artwork by Walthamstow based company Bannerama, photographs, flyers and projections from the era and area. Come and be part of the action over the weekend, bring friends and family to see and understand the scene, if you can't make the party, swing by in the day, enjoy a little Sunday session in the space and soak up the vibe
