Early 90s Rave: DJ SS, Michael Birtill & Julian Foddy | British Electronic Music

**Early 90s Rave: DJ SS, Michael Birtill & Julian Foddy** — exploring the British electronic music scene, Formation Records, rave, hardcore, progressive dance music and the people behind the records. This archive profile connects **Michael Birtill, Leroy Small (DJ SS), Julian Foddy and The Progress Collective**, tracing three very different paths through Britain's rapidly evolving electronic music culture of the early 1990s. From studio engineering and production to Formation Records, rave and the emergence of jungle, these stories reveal the often-hidden connections between the people behind the records. Julian Foddy's later move from electronic music into visual effects — including work with Industrial Light & Magic — adds another fascinating link between the technological culture of early dance music and the world of cinema. Also featured: **The Village – T-53**.
