Photography and the dancefloor can make for uncomfortable bedfellows.
Even before the ubiquity of the smartphone, deemed by many to be an instant vibe killer, there was a widely held view that clubs were havens of escapism where cameras were less than welcome.
However, the photographs we do have from the pre-smartphone era are undoubtedly cultural gold dust. For the most part, they are the work of a select band of individuals who understood the unwritten protocols of the dancefloor and acted with sufficient respect to earn the trust of their subjects.
@dave_swindells is very much in the vanguard of this elite group. As Nightlife Editor of London listings magazine Time Out for a mammoth 23 years (1986-2009) he lived through several vibrant (and pivotal) eras in one of the world’s great clubbing cities.
Not only was Dave the first to write about numerous subcultural scenes – he also had his camera permanently on hand. His shots would grace the pages of i-D, The Observer and The Face as well as Time Out. They are especially notable for his instinctive focus on the dancers and ravers.
The last few years have seen the publication of three era-defining books showcasing his work in the shape of Ibiza ’89, Acid House as it Happened and (as part of a quartet of snappers) Spike Island; whilst his images have also featured in numerous lauded exhibitions.
As we get ready to welcome Dave to the House Culture podcast, we invite you to enjoy a taste of his inspirational work.

I’m stoked that Acid House As It Happened has been reprinted by @idea.ltd, as I’m properly proud of this book.
It’s called ‘As It Happens’ because it’s a chronological journey through the magical musical maelstrom that was 1988, documenting many of the seminal clubs and events, the wonderful looks and the pioneering DJs in 250 photos and in many words that myself and others wrote at the time.
1988 changed dance music and transformed the wider culture, which is why some of these photos are now included in The Music is Black exhibition at the V&A East and in the catalogue and ‘Not Over Yet’ zine published by Tate Britain to accompany The 90s: Art and Fashion exhibition.
Swipe left to see plenty more photos and get a hint of why the introduction by Sheryl Garratt (Music and Clubs Editor at City Limits before she became editor at The Face) is worth the cover price on its own IMO.
Please see the link in bio to buy the book.
