Sometimes experiences can transport you to a timeless state of consciousness, where an awareness of clock-time recedes and a feeling of living in the moment takes hold. Such was the night of the Goldie Timeless Rave in New York City, which I photographed on 17 November 1995. For a photographer, time is always something to be calculated and measured. With the click of the shutter a moment in time — someone’s lived experience — is imprinted within a fraction of a second. At the Goldie rave, the crowd’s euphoric energy and the invisible fragments of beats and rhythms, expressed through people’s evocative body movements and facial expressions, were captured and rendered timeless. In 1995 Drum and Bass was still a new form of music, having developed from early 1990s hardcore. It was just hitting the US and this event, which took place at the Marc Ballroom on Union Square West, played a significant part in its popularisation.  @alice_a2studio

Published By Café Royal Books

Café Royal Books is an independent publishing house set up by Craig Atkinson in 2005. He is based in Southport, England. CRB release regular publications with the broad subject of British Documentary Photography since 1960. This includes international photographers who work within the British Isles. Alongside photographers from the British Isles who work internationally. There are a few exceptions, with titles that sit alongside this general theme.

This type of work has historically been neglected by both photographers and institutions. Café Royal Books aim is to source, gather, and re/present this work as a collective whole. And, thus, give it a wider audience. CRB publish at least one title every week, presenting, generally, one series by one photographer.

The books combine elements of zines, photobooks, artist books and educational resource. The books are affordable, democratic, utilitarian and useful. They come out regularly and in small editions. So, great to collect.
