From the publisher:

"Archivio is a series of publications by Never Sleep focused on the exploring archiving practices, displaying private collections of visual artefacts, memorabilia, collecting garments and graphic curiosities. A memories wunderkammer: from rave-club culture to the youth subcultures. The first issue, curated by Gabber Eleganza, is a publication that collects and contains rave records store advertisements, graphics curiosity and illustration ephemera.

With extensive research on the archive, tons of old techno and rave fanzines from the early 90s (from USA, UK, Holland, Belgium, France, Italy and Germany) were included and gave a new life for this project. A pure, rough and beautiful visual testimony of a unique and unrepeatable historical moment."

Immense work by the Never Sleep crew. This will make you lament not being there, but you will find immense inspiration within - guaranteed. I made like three fliers from two ads in here...and there is a lot!! Becoming impossible to find.
