OFFICIAL HOME OF WAYNE ANTHONY & GENESIS’88
Wayne Anthony was amongst the first wave of British innercity youths to experiment with a love drug in Spain 1987. It wouldn’t be long before Wayne and a host of colourful individuals were staging the biggest illegal warehouse parties in the history of Great Britain.
Genesis’88 was first launched by Wayne Anthony & Andrew Pritchard, the third partner Keith Brooks joined them after the first event. Once the name was agreed and a date set for the first event, the two partners made a trip to the printers to obtain flyers for their upcoming warehouse party.
You won’t find many photographs of the Genesis’88 parties. As illegal party promoters cameras were avoided at all costs. Photography wasn’t encouraged at any Acid House parties. The only memories of the evening were stored within the core of your being.
It’s not everyday a famous museum contacts a former party promoter with a once in a lifetime opportunity. Imagine the Class of 88 book locked in a time capsule beneath this prestigious museum in the City of London. How did that happen?
