Catalogue note

Original large fold-out programme for Raindance's Indoor Rave Festival at SeOne, London Bridge, on 21 April 2007.

Graphic-design significance: The fold-out mixes a highly commercial 2000s rave-festival visual language—large metallic Raindance branding, floral/figurative collage, bright yellow/red information blocks and dense digital typography—with archival/heritage motifs such as the Raindance robot and the Jenkins Lane reunion. The physical 'Designed by Core Creations' credit gives the object a useful named design-studio attribution for TMR's later rave-flyer history.

Historical context: Banquet Records preserves the exact 21 April 2007 event and, explicitly citing official Raindance sources, reproduces the full six-room line-up and SeOne address. HarderFaster's contemporary 2007 event listing independently confirms the date, SeOne venue, 10pm–7am hours, 7am–1pm afterparty, £18 advance price and that the night formed part of Raindance's 18th-year celebrations. The physical flyer itself goes further by presenting a deliberate past/future narrative and devoting one arch to an 89–90 Jenkins Lane reunion.

Production note: Full-colour commercial print on coated paper/card stock; exact process and stock weight not established.

Condition note: Very Good appearance, ungraded. Original folds remain intact with light fold wear and minor edge/corner handling. Small isolated surface marks and light rubbing are visible, but colour remains strong and the dense programme/ticket text is fully legible. No major tears or missing panels visible.

Confidence / uncertainty: The exact date, venue, hours, afterparty, ticket price, six-arch structure, principal line-ups, Jenkins Lane reunion, ticketing information, venue map, website and Core Creations design credit are physically verified. Banquet Records independently reproduces the full line-up from official Raindance sources and HarderFaster independently confirms the event details. Some printed/local performer identities are retained exactly without speculative authority expansion.
