A new documentary exploring over 30 years of UK rave music is set to be released for streaming later this month.
Better Days: The Story Of UK Rave looks over the origins of the UK’s rave scene, such as early free parties, as well as its legacy through the lens of current and emerging UK artists working with various forms of electronic music. Illegal parties that have taken place amid the COVID-19 pandemic are also assessed within the 32-minute film.
Directed by MOBO-nominated filmmaker Hugo Jenkins, Better Days also features a score put together by Overmono, the duo of Tessela and Truss, and two soon-to-be-released Amazon Original tracks: Dance System and Rush Davis’ ‘Better Days’ and a remix by Special Request of Orbital’s ‘Chime’ (Special Request Remix). Among those interviewed for the documentary are Afrodeutsche, SHERELLE, Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll, and Colin Dale. You can watch a trailer for the film above.
Better Days: The Story Of UK Rave premieres on Twitch on May 28 at 7pm BST. It will also be available to watch in the Amazon Music app, and via the Amazon Music YouTube channel, from May 31.
