The Lapsed Clubber Audio Map is a place for members of Greater Manchester’s original rave community to preserve and share their spoken word memories of clubbing and its culture during the ‘first decade’ of rave, 1985-1995.
Our interface allows you to record your voice directly into your desktop computer or laptop and pin 60-second sound clips onto a map of Greater Manchester at the exact spots where the events you are describing originally happened. You can also use some software compatible smart phones to do this.
If you prefer, you can leave your memory as written text.
For this project we are only collecting memories associated with rave culture i.e. electronic dance music and clubbing within the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester between 1985-1995. To learn about or share artefacts relating to other eras and music scenes, please visit our main website.
We would like as many people as possible to contribute memories, so the map will grow into a beautiful repository documenting the social history of rave in Greater Manchester.
