Mind you I goddam hated Ratpack/topbuzz/SL2 cheese!

well that's not very love, light and unity is it...!? 😉

That was the yin and yang I suppose.. and the teen mindset.. it's a shame that so many despise the next evolutionary step of their particular teen revolution movement.. but it's sadly as inevitable as the dawn, with any youth movement that you look at throughout recent history..

If we'd all been mature enough to understand it the world might just have become a better place..

I still have a theory that the whole ecstacy/rave thing was orchestrated by Thatcher to chemically adjust the youth to a more passive mindset anyway.. that unescapable trance inducing musical onslaught and hypnotic psychoactive drugs...? A heady and seductive mix..

hmm.. very suspicious

some god stuff on the thread folks.
I still have half of it on vinyl , is it worth anything ?

Some of it might be, but probably not these days. Have a look on discogs.com.

If you've got a copy of this though, then it will be worth a lot..

This has to be the all time classic from the rave era.

Shout out to Mr P 🙂 post up any good finds!

try this for some old school downloads -

[url= http://www.selectdj.com/oldskool-mixes/Old-Skool-Mixes-for-Download.html ]back in the day[/url]

I'd recommend the Nipper and Graeme Park Hacienda mixes, or any of the Sasha at Shelleys Stoke mixes.

I found the classic Sasha at Universe with MC Joe Peng a while ago, it's out there if you google it.

I was at Fabric in 2007 when this bad boy was dropped. All the now slightly balding grey haired old skool heads went mental, me included.

A long dark tunnel... utter classic! But toward the end of my club daze, it got a bit dark around then?

In a similar theme -

and the Hype mix of the Fugees Ready or Not was good too.

Love that Closer To Alll Your Dreams Hybrid Mix....

some god stuff on the thread folks.

It's a good few years ago now when vinyl was still king but some of these classic old skool tunes like the ones in this thread were going for £15-20 each or more if they were in decent condition.

They might well still be worth something as finding decent MP3s of them to DJ with isn't easy.

BTW in a similar thread before there was talking of organising a little revival rave/bike meetup somewhere - would be funny. Would require someone to actually organise it though.... 🙂

Not really old-school, but pure class and 15 years old now..

Been riding with prog mixes on a lot recently. Silk Royal Showcase podcasts if anyone likes the epic stuff, download one of the Jacob Henry, Tom Fall and Ad Brown mixes.

Prog DJs have an easy life. An hour set is 4 or 5 records. Still a big fan of the prog sound though. Sasha tune is a top find James.

I've been to Bowlers, though I suspect it was long past the 'glory days' by then, must have been late 90s I guess. I got into all this stuff a bit late really - never went to any of the original early 90s raves as I was slightly too young.

I used to go to Bowlers (Compulsion), Kinetic, The Sanctuary (Helter Skelter and Dreamscape), loads of fun times!

That Lego Rave is one of the best things I've ever seen, haha!! 😀

Great, simple, hedonistic days....a mate emailed me a Youtube clip of a Helter Skelter party at the Sanctuary with us in it for a brief few moments...his accompanying text read [i]'watch this and realise how shit your life is now'....[/i]

I think his sentiment was a little strong...i happen to like my life as it is now but there is a certain 'something' missing....it was exciting being part of a scene back then, we were on the fringes of society, the music and clothes and drugs were our secret, the thrill of friday arriving and just knowing that the weekend was going to be epic....thats what is missing from my life now and sadly i'll never get that back....i like my job, i have good health and enjoy plenty of healthy, harmless hobbies....but those evenings in the 90s spent in the car with 4 or 5 mates driving hours to an event were special, music playing, flyers laying around the car, bags of speed being passed around, phone calls to mates from other parts of the country, heart pounding as we queued to get in, how the bass would hit you, the tingles down your neck as the pills kicked in, lasers and strobes....truly great days and i will treasure the memories and the music forever.
