No Way Back (NWB001) brings together long-lost music and subculture journalism, images and perspectives, from 1977 to 1989. It sources from titles ranging from Village Voice and Ne w Statesman to Smash Hits and Sounds. This is journalism that lets us read about culture in its rawest form. In-the-moment and before endless layers of post-rationalisation have kicked in. Breakthrough events in dance music, hip-hop and pop – and parallel shifts in art, design and fashion. Inspirational, ground-level creativity and enterprise that set the scene(s) for subsequent decades.
