Talks about rave culture and photography with Yushy and Georgina Cook

Sound Affects is a night of talks about music and subcultures, exploring ideas around how sound affects us and how music changes the world. It's organised and hosted by journalist and documentary filmmaker Jak Hutchcraft.
This is a special event dedicated to rave culture, dance music and photography. Featuring talks and Q&As with two photographers who have superb photo books out now on Velocity Press.
Guest speakers:
Georgina Cook: Photographer who has had work in The Guardian, VICE, DJ Mag, Dazed, and other places. At Sound Affects she'll be discussing her book Drumz Of The South: The Dubstep Years (2004-2007). During it's birth and spread across London and beyond, Georgina was on the ground documenting the dubstep scene. She captured events and radio stations such as FWD>> at Plastic People, DMZ and Rinse FM, plus pioneering producers, DJs and MCs like Burial, Skream and Benga, Mala & Coki, Loefah and Sgt Pokes, Plastician, Kode9, Hatcha & Crazy D, Skepta and Wiley.
Yushy: Photographer who shoots raves, protests and subcultures. In his new book, Section 63: Underground & Unmastered – Documenting Underground London Raves, he captures the modern DIY spirit of dance music, a renaissance of feeling reminiscent of the early 90s. Embedding himself with various crews across London, he gained their trust and friendship, stepping into their wild world and their fight to reclaim forgotten spaces to play music for the people just for a night. Vivid proof that the free party scene is in fact alive and well in 2026.
Then we'll play tunes into the evening.
£10 entry.
