The thumping beat of Britain's 1980s-1990s acid house scene returns in a new London exhibition looking at the impact of rave music.

Sweet Harmony: Rave Today features installations, party posters and photographs by those who once attended the all-night raves, usually held at secret locations and where deejays played acid house, a blend of electronic dance music and heavy beats that originally developed in the United States.
