Did you find this on the Labrynth fb page? If not, well worth having a gander, it's a treasure trove. Would love to hear your thoughts on this particular image. For those that know, it contains so much that is recognisable yet becoming increasingly faded with time. Its truly haunting (as are many of the images that are in the fb group)
No, it's from a piece I did in Details in 92, an overview of the rave scene in UK, Europe and USA. The photographer was dispatched to various clubs I went to and Labrynth was one of the images in a composite spread. https://energyflashbysimonreynolds.blogspot.com/2021/11/techno.html
It is an eerie pic - has that Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore vibe - a moment of madness frozen.
I remember the fluoro patterns on the walls (I think that's from the tunnel, one of my favorite areas in Labrynth) and if not this particular pair, lots of similarly sallow and unhealthily skinny ravers.

I must check out the Labyrnth facebook page.
