Description
"In this episode, we cast our net into the waters of early 1990s South London — a time when rave culture was mutating, London’s squats were pulsing with creativity, and a strange new sound-world was blooming in the backrooms and basements: drifting, beatless, kaleidoscopic, and defiantly uncommercial.
This is the story of Telepathic Fish, the ambient afterparty scene created by the Openmind Collective. Telepathic Fish parties and club rooms were DIY countercultural happenings with turntables, psychedelic installations, living-room lamps, photocopied zines and a lot of imagination, becoming a meeting place for bohos, ravers, multimedia explorers and a new wave of electronic musicians. Aphex Twin, Global Communication, Nightmares on Wax, Autechre, Andrea Parker, Scanner — all passed through its doors.
