GRUFF 001 from Eyejack on Vimeo.
Animation inspired by the urban landscape of Hackney Wick. Weekend long illegal raves in derelict warehouses were commonplace. Tumbleweed rolled through dead industrial side streets. Hidden pirate sound systems ruled.
These free parties embodied the true spirit of the temporary autonomous zone. Hackney Wick and the surrounding Marshes felt like it was located the very end of London. In more ways than one.
Created by Eyejack and Elkha. The soundtrack was supplied by Gruff Records and DJ Jerome Hill who was often found rocking these defunct factory dance floors.
