@@MrLeckey there was a time this would frustrate me but I kinda like the enigma of it....it's a great film, I was brought here via the article in Sight & Sound earlier this year and was struck by Mitch Speed talking about the confusion and paranoia 'when recalling youth'.

I did the soundtrack, put together in Fruityloops and Cool Edit Pro. The music is from all over the place: a bit of Nightmares on Wax, a bit of Kraftwerk. Most of it I lost in a horrific hard drive incident. I don't know who originally did that 'hardcore' sample I used at the end. If anyone knows? Cheers leckey
I always thought it was from this release: Well 'Ard - 'Ard Corrr on jumpin n pumpin records. could also be a clip from the beginning of Respect To The Following - DJ SS on formation records. wouldn't be surprised if one was a sample from the other. beautiful video still. thnx for the upload.

I'm new to the work of Mark Leckey and I've watched and re-watched this over and over in the past 24 hours. It's completely wonderful and I'm blown away. It's totally immersive. Off to the Tate soon to see more of his work. This is my new favourite 'work of art' - love it.
This is still one of my all time favourite art works. I saw it when it was shown at Manchester City Art Gallery as part of the 'Work and Leisure' exhibition. I met you/Leckie at Liverpool School of Art when you/he came and gave a talk a few years ago - I think I may of annoyed you at the time as I said something about your Work Class roots to try to prompt you to say something about class (I probably should of worded it better but I felt very nervous as I always do if I speak/ask a question during a talk). I completed my Masters in Research in 2012 and my thesis was called - Making Visible: Social Class in the Art of Gillian Wearing. After time out (I now have a 14 month old) I have just started a funded PhD at MMU and my current working title is: Representations of the Working Class in Art; 1979 - 2014. (from 1979 because that's when Thatcher was appointed Prime Minister). I hope to write about this Art work and about Rinike Dikstra's 'The Buzz Club/Mystery World' (I used to go to nightclubs when I was 15 and visited the Buzz night club a few times) as part of my case studies. If you read this (and don't feel annoyed, lol!) and like the sound of my project it would be lovely to interview you by email or face to face to find out your ideas about class and art. Thanks, Ruth x
Mark Leckey Hi Mark, Thanks very much for replying - sorry I've only just read this. I'm made up you weren't annoyed - I must of been over sensitive with my nerves (and probably because I expect to annoy people going on about class).

Ruth the only war is the class war. I commend you for fighting for the people. It’s times like these where I realize that dance music will save the people. Godspeed darling
There were also brands listed that were said between Slazenger and Lacoste. Some of them are hard to make out but here they are: "Fred Perry, Pringle? Lyle and Scott, Scottsdale?"
This is great. I’ve been watching some of your talks and performances. Lot’s to think about. I really get what you are doing and you’re so humble. It’s awesome. I am a sculptor in Melbourne, Aus.
This is something special! O schöne Jugendzeit. When I was a young gay dude, I used to dance like all these doped up party people. The dance music from long ago and the soundtrack of my youth: acid house, drugs of choice; ecstasy, hasj and (sometimes) acid. The digital clock is a fantastic time keaper. When I used to do weekenders, that started somewhere friday night and ended sunday night, monday morning, time was something fluid. The music & the party never stopped. The Party, the after and the afterafter, Wouldn't have missed it for the world. In those days there was the fright of aids (especially for a gay guy like me), but when I think about those years, I smile, about the sillines of my youth and the good times I had "dancing together as one". That found footage, editing that and putting weird ass music to it brings me back when I was young and partying was all I lived for. This is something special indeed!
I've watched this 20 or more times at this stage. The truth inside this video is so real and so carefully alluded to via the edits - it's about the young individual utterly lost in abandon in the dancing crowd and at various points in the late 20th century society has brought more or less young people to that pure moment depending on the youth culture. Lecky is a genius.
To continue. This video is probably best understood when you are past that moment. The moment remains constant, but time (as the VHS digits show) brings us past it. We only dip our toes in it once. Also love how the threat of violence dissipates like a wave on a rock around the time of rave culture, but it seems to bring an added dementedness as a forfeit. Lecky looks out over the city in the video, as he should, he has a subjective angle on youth that the physical viewpoint in the video merits

May the future of rave give rise to enlightenment. so much love for this video Mark Leckey. Respect bro. it's planet changing stuff. (my artist name is rainbow peace living)
Overlooked by many here, the mid section appears to be Casuals/Scallys/Perry Boys/Dressers who were probably the most fixated with the clothing brands mentioned. An interesting segue between the northern soul and rave footage.
experiencing this as a young art student and year later at ps1 is re-enchanting. embodies the flashes of utopia that dance in the club and the sadness when our political reality turns on the lights and burns this image. when i reflect upon the happiest moments in my life, i'm taken to the dance floor. the triteness of this assertion embarrasses me; fiorucci cancels this feeling. thanks mark.
As with many such unexamined remembrances, one wishes the artist could have seen past his misty-eyed nostalgia and also cried with laughter at the shambolic spectacle of his stumbling, graceless dancers (I did). When in actual sync, their stiff movements respond as much to electronic bass lines as to their being literally drunk or stoned out of their brains on ecstasy. Subversive this film is not, unless youth and drug culture is your idea of sticking it to the man. Rhythmically speaking, it doesn’t hold a glow stick to Soul Train.
The first time I saw Fiorucci I could not stop pondering about what a huge influence it has had on the career of Raf Simons. Leading onto the current state of the fashion industry and back again to what the commercial art world is today.
cant stop watching this - if there was a time capsule thing sent into space this should go in there as best art to come out of england since francis bacon or gilbert and george HARDCORE WILL NEVER DIE nice 1 uploader nice 1 mark leckey u don ! x
this is seriously fucking fantastic. thank you so much. love your interpretation of it all and I'm also pretty pleased with Jamie XXs. it led me here and I'm at least happy for that.
Well trippy. Something about it that made me feel like I was back in the late 80's and experiencing Acid House for the first time which no other old school video really does for me. Think it's the druggy tripped out audio. Who did the music for it? And was it a live set from the late 80's, early 90's?
Its an old UK Garage track...but i don't know which one. Was listening to a lot of Rinse FM when I was making Fiorucci and its recorded off the radio. Anyone ID?
watching this while being in another lockdown makes me afraid, that culture might be lowkey dying... seeking for such times as soon as this shit is finally over
@@MrLeckey of course you did, but you got the 80s and 90s at least. if youre born after 95, you can catch up to a lot of good stuff, but theres no subculture, no genre that hasn´t been there before. I was born 91, so the few moments i recognized something new, were dubstep, some hardcore stuff (la dispute) and since a few years trap, which is mostly poisoned by commercialism. Mark fisher was kind of right, with his prognosis, so far i can see. anyway, i really enjoy your work here regularly (the guy in the yellow tank top in the first minutes...this moment!) and recommend it always after my third beer. best regards
Saw this yesterday at Museum Brandhorst in Munich. Highlight of the visit alongside with some Cy Twombly :) Seeing it in a such a large dark room is quite a haunting experience. The project really got me contemplating a lot. It's really about motion and emotion a lot of times. I think there are intentional mismatch between the visual and the audio a lot of times too, but cannot really pinpoint those. Gotta rewatch few more times :D
I saw this 10-15 years ago in Montreal (I think) and it really blew me away. I experienced and lived the side-effects of this cultural explosion as it rippled out to Canada. The piece resonated with me.I just watched "The Darkness That You Fear" by The Chemical Brothers, and the Nostalgia in it (with a very different intent/ implementation) brought me back to this. Fiorucci made me Hardcore still means so much to me. Thank you!
It's from a documentary called 'A London Someting Dis' about Jungle music. Think it was originally broadcast around late 1993. Timestamp for the sample is 25:36. ruclips.net/video/9UjeXt_V3hA/видео.html
Thinking about it, the overall theme of Leckey's work seems to be of a visceral nature: 1. Felt in the internal organs of the body. 2. Not intellectual: instinctive, unreasoning. That's not to say there is not deep ideas behind the work just that Leckey seems to be guided primarily by instinct and life experience when making work. As a viewer you don't have to understand it to like it. I may be wrong but that's just my opinion.
It's just me remembering labels I desired as a young Scally / Casual back in the early eighties: "Lois, Ritzy, Razzy, F.U, Inega, Lee, Jordache, Fiorucci (all jeans). Adidas: Samba, Kick, Trimm Trab, Gazelles, Forest Hills, Sam Smiths. Diadora, Puma Argentina States (trainers). Pod, Kickers, Kios (shoes). Farrah, Slazenger, Lacoste, Fila, Head, Ellese, Sergio Tacchini, Cerruti (sportswear) Burberry and Aquascutum."
@@MrLeckey thanks Mark. It's my favourite part of your piece. I must have heard/seen your work elsewhere and created a false memory :) (Btw loved the ray of light at Tate in the ceiling)
When I heard it in "all under one roof raving". I thought it may have been an old school game of thrones reference. Theon, Ned, Catherine, calisi ... Something something something. Anybody else get that, or am I just an uber nerd?
***** ahh. Now that you mention it, I hear it too! It has the same rhythm and rhyme. I wanted to know what it was specifically. Every time I hear it in that song I try to sing along but just end up saying random things that rhyme and sound similar because I don't know the actual words that are being said.
Not really sure what I've just watched - According to the other comments it's an art piece, but I'm having real trouble working out a year for the footage, or what's going on for the most part. Currently on my third watch through, which would lend credence to the idea that this video does it's job, I guess. Thoroughly enjoying looking for clues and such though, it's really well put together.
Leckey takes past dance crazes and shows them out of context, as incomprehensible outbursts of apparent madness. It’s all just “stuff”, but it’s a cry from the heart. “Just let the people dance”, someone shouts. The now, the moment, the present.seems the only important thing at the time, but this is a warning. There’s no going back. NO going forward. It’s a message the from the past. Pure poetry.
they have this in the turner contempory at margate. it's my favorite thing there. i like the way anyone over the age of 45 marches out in disgust once it gets to the acid house (the good bits).
Well done. Through and through. Will attribute this piece as the artistic invention of the Graphics Interchange Format. I'm gonna watch this again. Damn good.
@Mark Leckey .... I saw this years ago at the Tate in Margate .... It blew my mind in that setting .... can you tell what this is really about ? To me It represents youth culture through the ages ? all the best Luke
Mark Leckey Can you perhaps tell me wich song it is playing at 7.24-/7.25 till 7.29 please? Would be very thankfull for it, and ps i love this short movie, fine piece of work!
I lost the hard drive that had all the original samples on so for donkey's I didn't know where half of them where from. Only just found out that the Hardcore sample was from 'Respect to the Following'. Pops up in another hardcore tune too, right?
This was first shown twenty years ago and I'm now nostalgic for when I was making it.

Mesmerizing!
Love the shot at 5:10
Not really sure what I've just watched - According to the other comments it's an art piece, but I'm having real trouble working out a year for the footage, or what's going on for the most part. Currently on my third watch through, which would lend credence to the idea that this video does it's job, I guess.
Thoroughly enjoying looking for clues and such though, it's really well put together.
Looking just at the clothing alone it looks 79-88/89 maybe even 90 near the end.
Leckey takes past dance crazes and shows them out of context, as incomprehensible outbursts of apparent madness. It’s all just “stuff”, but it’s a cry from the heart. “Just let the people dance”, someone shouts. The now, the moment, the present.seems the only important thing at the time, but this is a warning. There’s no going back. NO going forward. It’s a message the from the past. Pure poetry.
Imagine how different this would be recorded at today's raves. Everyone paranoid about being in footage
ever heard of Boiler Room ?
They'd be too busy on their phones, mostly.
they have this in the turner contempory at margate. it's my favorite thing there. i like the way anyone over the age of 45 marches out in disgust once it gets to the acid house (the good bits).
When is part II coming out? :)
I truly love the dialogue between the audio and the images
Lean back....
.....lean back.
wth did i just watch?!?
...wait dont tell me *thumbs up and watches again*
this is utterly beautiful. is it okay if i sample this in some music? i would be forever grateful.
It's all part of the Creative Commons. Get in there
Well done. Through and through. Will attribute this piece as the artistic invention of the Graphics Interchange Format. I'm gonna watch this again. Damn good.
I was trying to make video in the same way I would use FruityLoops, so it is just GIF's in a timeline.
Just seen this on Discogs. Radioslave bigged it up.
MASTERPIECE
Sight and Sound magazine brought me here.
This is brilliant, great british nostalgia.
Why is this a vision of my nightmares?
Dan Onymous Because I'm in your head.
Mark Leckey I think it's good use of juxtaposition, it always upsets me.
@Mark Leckey .... I saw this years ago at the Tate in Margate .... It blew my mind in that setting .... can you tell what this is really about ? To me It represents youth culture through the ages ? all the best Luke
Superb. I love this.
It is music that we use to keep pushing on in life. They cannot take away..... music
I was searching Jamie XX All under one roof raving
Gutted.
This is amazing!
Jamie xx sampled this :o
I can't really complain about sampling can I? :/
Not at all :)
Mark Leckey Can you perhaps tell me wich song it is playing at 7.24-/7.25 till 7.29 please? Would be very thankfull for it, and ps i love this short movie, fine piece of work!
Wim Jenné I can't remember exactly. I don't know where the vocals are from but the other sounds are from a recording of arcade games
Wim Jenné I think there's a little bit of 'Corporation of One' 'The Real Life' in there, coming directly after a bit of Kraftwerk.
This is some great stuff.
samples dj SS voice at the end 'hardcoreeee' haha
I lost the hard drive that had all the original samples on so for donkey's I didn't know where half of them where from. Only just found out that the Hardcore sample was from 'Respect to the Following'. Pops up in another hardcore tune too, right?
A bit of class mate 👌
