A collection of flyers and photos from way back when some friends and I ran an ambient music collective. We’d throw ambient events in disused movie theaters, friends lofts, a place known as “the underwear farm” and others, always with a focus on listening rather than dancing, though a lot of that happened as well. We also worked with a number of like-minded friends in different sub-scenes, such as HQ Communications (responsible for introducing a lot of people to drum n’ bass), the B-Sides Collective, Shrum Tribe and more. Ahhh youth…
