Spiral Tribe
Travelling free-party techno sound from 1990. Played Castlemorton Common in May 1992; thirteen members were tried for public order offences in one of the longest and most expensive trials in British legal history, and found not guilty. They left for Europe in 1993. In 2011 several original members reformed as SP23, which has held parties across Europe since 2013.
