I find it quite interesting this Ewen Spencer guy has been around the London 'urban' scene for so long.
Guys' from Newcastle, has said he doesn't even like the music and yet look at his work
before this release, he released open mic
Musta been in 03-04 times
Romford youth centre
Some really interesting pictures, just don't understand why. Can't have made him too much money...
Forgot about the cover
Actually remember that picture being taken
ima check out all this guys shit stil
im of the opinion that our underground music is some of the most vital and under appreciated about and really needs as many time capsules as it can get for posterities sake.
that goes for garage grime dubstep n all that came before it although i suppose hardcore n all that rave stuff has been done to death
so ye mainly just the ghetto music.
did anybody cop this?
With great pride I would like to announce that Brandy & Coke is to be broadcast on Channel 4 this Wednesday 2nd April at 12:05am. Ewen has extended the 8min feature, for Dazed online which your can see here, to a 30min documentary featuring interviews the key figures in UK Garage such as: Scott Garcia, Sticky, Wookie, Kano and many more.
Tonight at 00.05
CHANNEL 4 TO AIR FIVE-PART SERIES ON UK GARAGE, BRISTOL BASS, JUNGLE, HARDCORE PUNK AND BALEARIC
Music Nation looks back at the best of the UK underground.
After the success of the UK garage mini-documentary Brandy & Coke, Dazed has teamed up with Channel 4 to produce a five-part series exploring the most vital underground scenes from Britain’s recent musical history – UK garage, Bristol bass, jungle, hardcore punk and Balearic.
Mixing personal stories with archive footage, each half-hour documentary in will take in the key players, fashions and music of the scenes and explore their impact on British youth culture.
Music Nation arrive on Channel 4 next month, kicking off with a full-length version of garage author and photographer Ewen Spencer’s Brandy & Coke on April 2.
Following that, Berkshire Goes Balearic recounts Ibiza-style hedonism in the home counties, while Bristol Bass Oddity looks at the West Country culture clash that unexpectedly steered the direction of electronic music around the world.
The UK’s late ’80s hardcore punk scene and DIY culture is examined in Soap The Stamps, and the series finishes up with Jungle Fever, a look at jungle’s journey to mainstream dominance from its humble beginnings in Hackney.
In the meantime, watch the original Brandy & Coke over at Dazed.

Introduction by Mike Skinner and Essay by Jason Evans

Ewen began making this series of pictures around the UK Garage scene in 1998 frequenting Twice as Nice at the Colosseum and various other events around what was then known as the Sunday Scene. He bears witness to a burgeoning underground being in the right place at the right time to capture a classic British Sub Culture.
The pictures take us from the dance floors of South London to illegal Garage Raves and eventually the success of the Cypriot resort of Ayia Napa’s hedonistic holidaying party crowd at the turn of the century. Never an underdressed moment the Garage scene epitomises the clean living under difficult circumstances aesthetic realised by many British youth since the late 1950s.
“Ewen’s photographs start when the scene was moving at it’s fastest and go right up to ‘moving too fast’. The first thing i wondered when i saw them was how he didn’t get beaten up for snapping such intimate moments of some pretty certified looking badmen..”
