An interactive exhibition evokes the clandestine Acid House scene gripping the West Midlands in 1989.
The VR tour takes people on an adventure of finding the party, avoiding the police and emerging into the sunrise after a night of dancingBefore social media and mobile phones, picking up the scent for a secret warehouse event was tricky - but the dedicated ravers always got to the party.
"This is also a lived experience for me," says Mr Emerson, namesake of the global DJ and ex-Underworld member. "So, I thought that was a good premise for a VR experience but also a documentary experience - it's very much a documentary but it's a documentary that you're in." "But, Coventry and Birmingham and the West Midlands as a whole needs to be in that conversation as well."The Eclipse nightclub in Coventry was the first venue to have an all-night licence which pulled in ravers from around the country and the Amnesia House brand was also growing in the city and becoming a pioneer in "putting on all-nighters".
"So at the end of it when you come out into the sunrise, it's like a new dawn - that feeling of like 'I've just done something incredible and now I feel changed."Choosing 1989 was also pertinent - the scene was in its infancy and innocent - while societal changes and political volatility was sweeping through the UK.
