Aiyush Pachnanda's recent exhibition may have been called Dance Floor Etiquette, but there's no stuffy formality about his pictures of Cardiff's drum'n'bass scene. Quite the contrary: you can practically feel the throbbing bass and smell the sweaty, chaotic delirium.
Talking to We Are Cardiff three years ago about his book Rave To The Grave, Yushy - a graduate of the University of South Wales' photojournalism course - admitted that he initially found the raves "very, very overwhelming". Credit to him for immersing himself in an unfamiliar subculture and putting his camera lens at risk to bring back images from the front line.
