Cast your mind back (if you’re lucky enough to have the brain cells left) or if you were born after 1980 try and imagine the ecstasy-fuelled phenomena that happened during the late 80’s and early 90’s that laid the foundations of club and dance music culture in the UK. Raving was a heady business and what comes up, must come down. Leanne dedicates these 2 hours to ‘Room 3’, ’The White Room’, The Chill Out Room - even the living room; the spaces and especially the music that provided a safe and soft landing. Post-rave pillows, gently scented with her own recordings/field recordings...
