I think they've got him out of the way early so we can enjoy the rest.

Why pull the other thread mods? Are we no longer allowed more than one discussion on the same topic?

Because it was identical?

exactley how many what tyre threads or what bikes threads hmmmmm

I assume you will get an email explaining why the other thread got pulled. Be a bit harsh otherwise.

It was so good late 80's and then there was Cream/Ministry etc. Now it's all about meow meow and looking like you stepped out of Geordie Shore. Still a few good clubs but you have to seek them out.

Desi is where it's at IMO

Nah.

Anyways, tis certainly a trip back in time 😯

One of the most emotive aspects of music IMO is the way it evokes feelings as opposed to [i]just[/i] memories. Puts you right back in the moment.

I was knocked on my arse by his belly at a rave in a cowshed just outside Exeter.. he was quite apologetic and his entourage swept me up and popped me back on the floor the right way up in double quick time..

Some TV comic was saying the other day how the funny thing about Ecstasy, is the tiny little bubble of it that stays in your brain forever, ready to give you a rush any time the correct hypnotic trigger gets played on a retrospective music show..

Maybe ... runs deeper than that though. You don't need that sh1t to go 'back in time'.

yeah.. it was kind of a joke

We watched Human Traffic again not so long ago. Good times 😀

Best Friday night TV in a loooooooong time! 😀

He's a big big man, but probably the nicest man in the industry by all accounts! My ex GF met him once back in about 98, and he was insistent on taking the time to chat to her and her mate, and posing for photos and all sorts... Hell of a talent too, especially on 3 decks in front of an enormous crowd!

For anyone wanting to go deeper into, check out the "Pump up the Volume" programs.

Just wondering for a minute: has today's generation missed out the underground thang? 'We' seemed to have it on a plate back in the 80s/90s. Doesn't seem to be that sort of 'movement' going on these days?

Sounds like they're about to start playing with a Roland TB-303!!! 😛

most of the underground kids I know are regularly heading to France, Croatia, Portugal and Hungary to get a similar vibe

Or just maybe, you aren't a part of it any more so don't hear about it? Think there's still quite a few outdoor raves/underground parties etc that go on - not on the same scale as in the 90s though.

Massively so

I know this cos at 32 I'm a bit young to have caught the whole of it myself, but I caught quite a lot of it. These days sadly mainstream culture is force fed to the kids, and there's only very small pockets of backlash. This is borne out by the fact that in the late 90's we'd queue for hours to get into a club (if it wasn't already full!) with non mainstream DJ's getting paid huge sums of money to play. These days, that doesn't happen, and it's the mainstream clubs playing a mix of (ironically House music influenced) various commercialist "paint by numbers" David Guetta-esque crap that have the queues outside... But it's cheap drinks that draw the crowds in, and orange girls in high heels, not top name DJ's!

🙁

EDIT: Should add I'm currently studying for a degree in Electronic Music, and I'm 10-12 years older than all my peers, and all of them pretty much without exception haven't experienced much in the way of an underground scene...

+1 Grum and Mboy. Nail. Head. Methinks.

EDIT: shut up David.. 😳

I think the underground just became incredibly accessible to the masses thanks to the efforts of the media for a few crazy years in the 80s and 90s
youth culture is a lot more fractured now anyway thanks to the internet.. you can pick and choose your niche and taylor it so specifically you'd be lucky to find another kindred spirit, let alone a whole generation..

So mboy, you don't think there was cheesy mainstream clubs playing commercial music in the 90s too?

and has there been a comparable musical evolution of late..?
acid and techno and all it's derivatives were as revolutionary as rock and roll no..?
or is that my misty eyed nostalgic view of it..?

Can't figure out what the Number 1 slot is going to go to ... was thinking along the lines of Hacienda, disco roots, Farley Jackmaster Funk et al ...

my son is named after Farley Jackmaster Funk.. 🙂

Yeah, but something tells me 'we' were romanced by the underground scene instead of the mainstream sh1t. Life was different then - less media BS and certainly less chavving up on cheap booze and sh1tty clubs. No idea if that happens now - I don't know enough teens/twentysomethings to comment.

Funki Yunki? 😀

Some would argue dubstep - for me though that was the point where dance music started to lose it's interest. I used to DJ in clubs and at raves/outdoor parties quite a bit in the mid-2000s.

No idea if that happens now

I don't really either - I just think it's easy to put on the rose-tinted spectacles and get all grumpy old man 'the youth of today know nothing etc 🙂

Farley Jackmaster Funk..

You have a child named Jackmaster? Cool!

If we 'old heads' spent a little less time indulging in online pissing competitions and a little more time organising parties, maybe the youf dem would have some more positive role models..?

round my way there is definitely a healthy underground scene.. (not because of any hard work on my part I'm ashamed to say)

I'd be very surprised if there's not stuff going on where you are too..

dubstep

but that is still just a rehash of familiar sounds and sequences from jungle, house and techno..
there's nothing that sounds like aliens have just landed and created a massive ****ing hole in the universe that has got noise from another dimension pouring through it.. music that makes your teeth tingle and your bones glow, your muscles sing and your soul leave your body to make platonic love to everyone else in the room..

You have a child named Jackmaster? Cool!

too drunk to funk !!!!!!!!!!
seems like years ago i was leading that lifestyle, awesome times, lucky to grow up in the 90s . truly the best.............. 😀

This programme is ace..."Series of repetitive beats...".

F*** 'em and their law.

Thread marked so I remember to watch tomorrow on catchup.

top spot..

fair enough.. 😀 😆

Christ, look at the state of Mr C

I'm off to listen to this:

Easily one of the best (commercial or otherwise) mixes ever. Sends me into space every time 😯

Every time I flick back on, it's either bloody Guetta or that cockweasel, Skillrex.

I'm off to listen to this:

I'm off to bed. Nearly midnight and I'm old.

Too right spacemonkey
