Catalogue note
Double-sided flyer for Exaited Promotions’ Good Times at The Sanctuary Music Arena, Milton Keynes, on Friday 24 September 1993. The object combines an unusually polished, metallic computer/surreal visual language with an extensive nationwide ticket-outlet network and a large mixed rave bill. The reverse documents elaborate production attractions including Martin F2 sound, lighting, lasers, video projection, dancers and multi-coloured foam, alongside DJs and MCs including Carl Cox, Slipmatt, Ratty, DJ SS, DJ Hype, Top Buzz, Jeremy Healy and Dave Dorrell. It is a strong material document of the scale, production ambition and visual culture of major licensed UK rave events in 1993.
Advertised programme: Front physically credits Exaited Promotions and carries Total Kaos and Formation Records branding. Reverse physically prints “ARTWORK: MASHISAGE INC (USA)” (reading preserved from object; exact corporate/artist identity not independently resolved). The artist’s full identity remains unresolved.
Historical context: The physical flyer presents Good Times as an Exaited Promotions event at The Sanctuary Music Arena and documents the increasingly elaborate production culture surrounding large licensed raves in 1993. Its attraction list includes a 50,000-watt Martin F2 sound system, intelligent lighting, lasers, animated laser graphics, video projection, dancers and foam effects. The national ticket-outlet list demonstrates a distribution infrastructure extending well beyond Milton Keynes. Web searches did not locate a sufficiently authoritative independent exact-event source, so these details remain grounded primarily in the surviving object itself.
Condition note: Visible handling and edge/corner wear with light creasing and surface marks. Small localised edge losses/abrasions are visible, particularly near corners and margins. Printed information and unusual metallic/surreal graphic treatment remain strongly legible.

Explore the club-culture timeline to follow advertised dates, places and billed performers across the held flyers.
Event details are drawn from the held object and the qualified catalogue research above. A printed bill establishes an advertised booking, not confirmation that a performer appeared.
Why this object matters
Good Times preserves the Sanctuary's 1993 promoter/label network and period computer-surreal visual language in a substantial programme. Its strongest role is outstanding comparison across the venue sequence; rich logistics and a strong roster do not establish a distinct Gold-level event or design milestone.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
