GENESIS'88 Birthday Party Cancelled on 10th December

Its with a sad and heavy heart that we must inform our members and guests that Genesis'88 Birthday Party Scheduled for 10th December has been CANCELLED. Unlike in the past the event wasn't stopped by law enforcement, governments, henchmen or anything remotely connected to such outcomes. Sadly due to an Administration Error on the part of the venue owners (license holders) we have no license. Believe us when we say, we didn't ever expect to be making such public statements. Genesis'88 Cancelled because we have no license…wow! Time has certainly changed.

We should also note that a few venues have been offered to us but none to the standard that Genesis'88 have used in the past. The reason we chose the last building was because of its authenticity as a bare boned warehouse. It felt so right we couldn't resist it but now running around looking at half arsed venues isn't the Genesis'88 style. We don't do parties for the sake of earning a few quid, if we did that we'd have come out the archives years ago.

Genesis'88 is about the moment, the people, the space, the kinetic energy. We are proud of this heritage and this is what has carried Genesis'88 into the 21st century. Our events are built to last within the memories of the people that attend them. The venues which have been put forward are ideal for some promoters. We wouldn't have even broke into them in the 1980s so why except this standard today in 2011. Some people are saying we should just have a party anywhere legal as long as its a party but i totally disagree. Much love, care and attention goes into every event that I'm (Wayne Anthony) personally involved in. Standing in some emergency building in 2011 puts me in a negative space and therefore i see no good reason to put anyone through that particularly Genesis'88.

Especially given the fact we have to jump so many legal hoops. If Genesis'88 is going this route then it must be done properly we hope you understand. We are looking at March 2012 to stage our next Genesis'88 event so stayed tuned to our official website and Brand New Online Radio Network (www.genesis88.co.uk). It should also be noted that any campaign we mount for Genesis'88 events wont all be done on Social Networks. Its important you become a MEMBER by subscribing via the website.

Believe us when we say that no-one is as gutted as Team Genesis'88 but we'll stick by our moral values…We know there's a silver lining in everything…

We know there's no comparison but next weekend live DJs plan to broadcast old skool classics via our radio network the entire weekend so please join us…

Genesis'88 - 23rd Birthday Party - 10th December 2011

The Genesis'88 Reunion Sessions are fully underway as Britian once again embraces itself for Acid House mania.  Our first Reunion for twenty three years happened on the 28th October 2011. The event brought a great many souls together for a night they wont forget for a long time. We were taken back the sheer volume of messages we recieved via Facebook, Email, phone texts, and social networks. We received over 800 messages via Facebook alone. We've posted a series of these messages in previous posts on the blog.

We know what your thinking, you wait twenty three years for a reunion and then we have two events in less than two months. In 1988 we had five big warehouse parties in less than two weeks over the Christmas period. Our first event was staged on Saturday 10th December 1988. Although we hadn't planned on staging another event unitl March 2012, an opportunity presented itself in such a way that we felt compelled to act upon it. Your only twenty three once so what better way to celebrate than  joining kindred spirits in a warehouse enviroment equal to 1988. If your going to only one party over the Christmas then you wont wanna miss this Unique Acid House Experince presented by one of the UK's founding organsiations of the late eighties. We really look forward to celebrating Genesis'88 23rd Birthday with YOU...

Genesis'88 - Reunion Photos PT 3

We are very grateful for technology when used in a constructive manner. In the late eighties no-one could take photos at the parties which acted a means of self defense for the promoters who were facing prison sentences if caught. Today we beam photos, video and audio too live audiences around the world. We no longer hard behind clipboards containing fake contracts, moody lease agreements or riders. Today our clipboards are for real...Long may that last...Remember to attend a Genesis'88 warehouse party you must be a member...

DJ Magazine - Class of 88 Excerpt 1997 A

Credit where credit is due the first magazine to publicise Class of 88 book was DJ Magazine (Charles & the boys). This is long before i got a deal with Virgin so its worthy of noting. The lads actually run two stories in two issues which was really cool because i didn't even know if Class of 88 would be published. Nice One Lads...

Its the funny to see the things I've said over the years...

House'88 - Paradise Glimpsed - 1989

The Face - August 1990

The Face and ID Magazine were the leading youth orientated journals of the period whose pride of focus was centrally rock, indie and some pop music. This feature came out in 1990 providing a full guide of where to party your socks off in the rest of Europe owing to the fact the government had closed the UK's illegal events circuit down.
