“I first heard Gabber while I was at art school in Newcastle in the early 90s,” photographer Ewen Spencer tells us. “I was very much into the duffer/mod thing at the time – 1964 Vespa Sportique, desert boots, beads – so hardcore wasn’t necessarily my thing. My mate took me along to a club called Loaded on a Monday night where they played a Gabber set. As soon as the tempo shifted and the beat became more industrial, the whole place erupted. There weren’t many Gabber kids there with the Dutch scally look, but they danced in a Gabber style and were pretty intense. So I’ve always been aware of the scene.”
