Dreaming in Yellow: The Story of the DiY Sound System

Emerging from Nottingham in the summer of 1989, the DiY Collective were one of the first house sound systems in the UK. Merging the anarchic lineage of the free festival scene, the cultural and political anger of bands like Crass with the new, irresistible electronic pulse of acid house, they bridged the idealistic void left by the moral implosion of the commercial rave scene. DREAMING IN YELLOW attempts to distil the outrageous, electric and occasionally deranged stories behind the tumultuous beginnings and existence of DiY.
