You enter an unassuming space in the Freemasons’ Hall basement. You’re handed a glowstick, directed to a patch of space, then fitted with a virtual reality headset, wrist controls and headphones. It’s slightly disorientating, slightly unsettling and you don’t quite know where you’re going. Feels like 1989 all over again.

In its own right, In Pursuit Of Repetitive Beats is a cracking music documentary, tracing the rise of acid house and rave culture in Coventry. The field raves, the warehouse parties, the drugs, the cat and mouse game the party people played with the local constabulary are all present and correct. But, thanks to state-of-the art virtual reality, the experience is completely immersive. In other words, you’re there. Once you put the needle on that first (virtual) record, you’re catapulted into a world of sweaty bodies, random meeting points, smiley faces, trippy graphics, massive sound systems and heavy beats. 

It's utterly convincing and utterly brilliant. Peeking around the door of a massive warehouse party, losing yourself in the crowd, eavesdropping on the police, standing in a deserted motorway service station. And the lights, the noise, the beats – oh, those beats! You’ll dance, you’ll fly, and (if this is your era) you’ll maybe even cry a little. Put your hands in the air for an euphoric experience. Can you feel it? 

In Pursuit Of Repetitive Beats, Electric Dreams @ Freemasons Hall, until 17 March (not 20, 27 February; 5, 12 March), times vary.
