Noddy Holder narrates the surprising origins of our favourite music genres. Acid House, Balearic Beats and outdoor raves inspired a new breed of British club kids in the late 1980s. But when they stopped drinking alcohol in favour of bottled water, they faced a showdown with an outraged establishment fearful of repetitive beats and chemical highs. Arguably it all started on a lads' birthday holiday to the Balearic Islands in 1987. Paul Oakenfold - whose Ibizan party trip started it all, arguably - joins Trevor Fung, Paul Hartnoll, Martin Glover and Annie Nightingale to recall the halcyon days of all-time highs. Music includes Orbital, Underworld, Frankie Knuckles, Phuture, Cola Boy, Elkin & Nelson and... Chris Rea.
