BETWEEN A ROCK & A HARD PLACE

SURVIVAL SERIES

🌹 Last post today- ravers are a romantic bunch! Look at these two captured in 2006 at DnB night Hysteria in London. Wonder what happened next?! Imagine if they’re still raving it up together - I kinda hope they are! 📸Georgina Cook, 2006 . . . #dnb #hysteria #ravephotography #musichistory #georginacookphotography #drumzofthesouth #ldn #youthculture #loveday #valentines #couple #tbt #swoon #loveis #documentaryphotography #kisstory #sportswear #streetwear #wavey
From the archives: @skreamizm reloading a track during a @loefah set at #DMZ in May 2005. Lots of people in the electronic music community are talking about rewinds and their place and meaning on the dancefloor at the moment. I’ve certainly witnessed a few! There are some words about it on my blog & a link to a great piece by @laurent_fintoni on the History of The Rewind. www.georginacook.net/blog 📸©Georgina Cook . . . . . #musicphotography #dubstep #electronicmusic #rewind #pullup #reload #soundsystemculture #bassmusic #georginacookphotography #drumzofthesouth #red #dancefloor #dj #musiccommunity #ldn #tbt #musichistory #youthculture #vinyllovers

Thanks to everyone that bought prints last week! Here’s a pic from DMZ May 2006 - it was only the second time the rave had been upstairs at Mass in Brixton , a much bigger room & testament to what the DMZ crew were building - good times! S/O the familiar faces in this pic :) Love how everyone is deep in the vibes . . . . #dmz #mass #brixton #dubstep #2006 #classic #dancefloor #london #ravescene #musichistory #drumzofthesouth #georginacookphotography #bassculture #southlondonforever #eyesdown #community #goodvibes #meditateonbassweight

Another shot of @hnnssywilliams @troubleinutopia from our night portrait shoot in Clapton a few weeks back - had fun working with Francis because he had a good idea of what he wanted :) We used lots of available light and a backdrop of his local area.

Exactly this time last year I was at my installation “Who Wants A Rewind?” at @tate Modern - a dark room with a really decent sound system and my photos of the early dubstep days projected on the wall , with a soundtrack of live recordings from FWD at Plastic People, feat. @44mccrazyd & @pokestagraph on the mic - I got the name of the installation from a memory of Crazy D chanting “Who wants A Reeee-wind,” & it was perfect as the whole thing was obviously a Rewind back to those days. ⏪. Some of the things I loved about the event - 1. People that were too young / not even born 😱 when the photos were taken, say that it gave them a really good sense of what the scene was like 2. Showing work at Tate (artist’s dream come true) & bonus that it was free & accessible ✨ 3. Hearing Pokes & Crazy & all those incredible tunes & the sound of the FWD crowd on a good system in a dark room in such a huge arts institution - it did turn into a mini rave (never in a million years imagined that!) 🎶 4. The experience of working with proper pro’s @stancepodcast & @tate who totally got it & made it happen. 💥 5. The friends & fam that came to support - it meant the world to me Moral of the story... Dreams do come true. Keep striving & you’ll reach those milestones. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Check www.georginacook.net/blog for a link to the promo video & also a bit of video from the event itself .... I would love, love to show this somewhere else, somewhere great this year ... thinking caps on . . . . . #georginacookphotography #dubstep #drumzofthesouth #whowantsarewind #tatemodern #throwback #tb #careerhigh #professionalartist #culture #musichistory #musicphotography #reminiscing #fwd #plasticpeople #dmz #grime #ldn #nightphotography #reducespeed #rewind #youthculture #ravehistory #rave #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #professionalism #professionalcreative #soundandvision #artscommission #gratitudepost
