Buzz Entertainments — A New Dimension

Catalogue note

Original double-sided A4 owner-described rave POSTER advertising Buzz Entertainments 'A New Dimension' on Friday 12 June 1992, 8pm–8am at The Exhibition Centre, Freightliner Road, Hull. The visionary front shows an illuminated blue human silhouette enclosing mountains and waterfall above an oceanic/cosmic background. Reverse bills leading hardcore DJs Grooverider, Top Buzz, Jumping Jack Frost, Randall, regional artists and historical Coventry DJ duo Parks & Wilson, plus MC Natz, Mad P and Man Parris. Tickets £15 plus 10% fee, elaborate audiovisual and security promises, stated planned TV filming and broad original UK shop/ticket outlets. It directly credits 'Produced by Printwiser Louth' and identifies promoters as organisers of Hellraiser, consistent with independently documented earlier 1992 Buzz events. UKacidhouse inventories this exact Hull date and A4 format. Comprehensive current live TMR and previous saved intake searches returned no matching owned flyer; one external A4 item does not prove a distinct printing variant. Market value, cover artist and event occurrence unverified.

Advertised programme: Advertised DJs: Grooverider, Top Buzz, Jumping Jack Frost, Randall, Royal 'T', Parks and Wilson, XL, Deep Groove, Krazey K, Bad Boy 'T', Rosco. 'Contracted & Confirmed' MCs: Natz, Mad P, Man Parris. All billing is an advertisement, not independent proof of performance.

Graphic-design significance: A memorable 1992 visionary rave image: large blue human outline with white halo against dark star-flecked nocturnal/cloud-sea background, inside the body a mountain/canyon landscape and bright flowing waterfall, suggesting altered perception. Giant white 'A NEW DIMENSION' headline; utilitarian mono reverse with bold section bars and fine-print shop distribution/terms. Unlike other famous rave pictures, no definite artist attribution can be established. Direct 'Produced by Printwiser Louth' credit is a research lead for northern regional commercial print history, not by itself original art authorship.

Historical context: This original Hull rave promotion documents a regional 12-hour exhibition-centre programme during the UK hardcore/early jungle expansion, headlined by Grooverider, Top Buzz, Jumping Jack Frost, Randall and Coventry duo Parks & Wilson with a substantial DJ/MC roster. DJ Mag's first-person Parks & Wilson history identifies Mick Parks and Mick Wilson as partners whose early DJ sets began at The Eclipse in Coventry. Buzz Entertainments' prior activity is independently indexed on 22 February and 28 March 1992 Hellraiser events at Raffles Lasertec (with J&M East Coast), consistent with the new sheet's 'organisers of Hellraiser' claim but not independent proof of the precise June management. UKacidhouse lists the exact 12 June Hull event at Freightliner Road as A4. The reverse promises a 50K Martin F2 system, lasers, visual effects, secure facilities, shuttle buses from Hull railway station and that 'THIS EVENT IS BEING FILMED FOR T.V.'; actual broadcasting, hardware installation and attendance are unverified. £15+10% booking fee, national ticket outlets and production credit supply primary evidence of the rave economy and print distribution.

Production note: Multicolour fantasy photomontage-like printed face and black-on-pale practical event back. Specific offset/screen technique, paper stock and identity of original illustration source unknown; Printwiser Louth production credit physically printed.

Condition note: Light edge/corner wear with mild softening and marginal white rubs, small specks/handling marks across dark upper front, and faint surface scratches on colour image. Rear typography is intact and clearly legible, with slight top-edge waviness, corner bumps, handling folds and scattered small surface marks. No large tear, clear part loss, deep structural break or detached corner visible. Paper grade, subtle repairs, exact dimensions and colour fidelity require hands-on inspection. Condition should not be described as mint.

Confidence / uncertainty: PHYSICALLY VERIFIED: Friday 12 June 1992, Exhibition Centre Hull, printed organisers/Buzz credit, named acts/MCs, £15 +10% admission, '8 TILL 8', venue address, video filming claim, precise production imprint. INDEPENDENT: UKacidhouse original event A4 inventory, Phatmedia Buzz-related Hellraiser references, DJ Mag/RA Parks & Wilson history. Owner reports A4 poster; physical dimensions unknown. No current exact TMR holding identified by global archive, scoped and durable accession searches or repository code index. Royal T, XL, Deep Groove, Krazey K, Rosco and Mad P aliases remain literal unmerged; the distinct Coventry duo is sourced, and Micky Wilson existing profile is a high-confidence venue/context match. No actual filming, DJ performance, print quantities, market value or named designer verified.
