The trance one is good, I'd completely forgotten Madagascar, what a tune
Cheers. One of our apple trees is called Carl Cox.
Kids just having a wee disco to this and loving it.
Reckon this will be my jogging tunes this week, cheers OP.
Takes me right back to my days in the Eclipse and Wobble 😁🤪. Though these days I’m far more Val Doonican...!
Did the eclipse a few times ( from Bristol). Good nights!!
Love a good rave thread
Hoollllllddd tiiiiight!
Liked it that much I had two goes! Cheers!
First time I saw him was 1990 on a Thursday night at the Crypt in Hastings, big ticket event at £2.50.
The Eclipse was my regular place too. Followed by a cup of tea at Corley services.
Fun times.
Nice one @eskay
@jkomo
I remember The Crypt. Even though I lived in Brighton, which had many great nights of it's own, I used to love that.
I cycled to Hastings once for a rave on the pier. Crashed at a kind fellow ravers house, then cycled back the next. It makes my old bones ache now just thinking about it.
Downstairs at Remix, Bournemouth 🙂
Thanks for the share OP. I am enjoying it.
The best thing about lockdown has been first and foremost the weather and secondly all the great live streams doing the rounds. I think I've listened to about 3 Carl Cox ones and more local to me the Colours ones with Micheal Kilkie and John Mancini. My sons is on his 3rd set of decks in 8 months now and has got pretty decent , Ill try and link to some of his mix cloud mixes when Im home.
Thanks OP. Also LOVING that soundcloud mashup! I miss those days...
When I first went to see Carl Cox, the preceding event delayed the schedule by 15min or so, when he came on the absolute legend extended the set another 30min.
Back in the late 80's early 90's. A couple of mates were warm up DJ's for more famous names. Employed to get the night started, but not to overshadow those famous DJ's at the top of the bill. I used to go along as a driver/record bags carrier.
One night Carl Cox was headlining. A few minutes into his set one of the promoters said to me and my mate at the bar: "do you want to see something really cool?" The venue had a makeshift DJ booth at the back of the stage. Directly above his decks was a little balcony (not accessible to the public) that looked directly on to CC's 3 deck setup. So for a good hour we just sat and watched what he was doing. He really was poetry in motion. How deftly and effortlessly he could cue a tune up, monitor what he was mixing it into, execute the mix and move onto one of the other 2 decks really was something else. I've had the utmost admiration for the man from that day on.
Carl Cox the Tory DJ who mainly plays his own remixes, his mates, associated labels and House!

FFS , I've heard it all now.

Well, if the music is good, who cares how he votes or what his selection criteria are?
Thanks for the MP3 above btw, a great mix to have for my ride this morning.
We did the clubbing thing for a bit but then followed the free party raves.
Saturday nights sat in a motorway services with a load of other cars all desperately trying to find out where the party was going to be. We usually ended up at a Circus Warp/Spiral Tribe/DIY party (or something local if we had a tip-off.
Saturdays was mostly driving across the country to some field/warehouse/squat and partying until the sun came up.
Bank holiday weekends were always the best. Tune into the news on a Friday night and they would always tell you were a large number of travelers were gathering for a festival - job done!!
Lechlade was amazing but the mother of all free parties (Castlemorton) effectively killed the scene and pushed it back into clubs by forcing the criminal justice bill through. We were there for three or four days and it was an incredible community that partied non-stop. There were some negatives to the gathering including people shooting flares at the police helicopter, poor locals who lived close by and the litter (that a lot of travelers cleared up). All the big sound systems were there and you could dip between some full on Spiral Techno or some more laid back twisted DIY. I still have a couple of tapes from that weekend.

We had some amazing nights at some of the parties in incredible places all over the country. I can remember one in some kind of old mine in a remote part of Wales. When the sun came up it was breathtaking.
It was always a cat and mouse game with the cops. Loads got shut down (including a big one in Canary Wharf) and some in warehouses were they charged with dogs and it all got a bit sketchy.
So many good memories!!
Theartist- The Eclipse originally was very friendly, really nice vibe. It did turn very dark, which is when we stopped going. The dealers changed and the gear was rubbish I was told, Sounds like when you visited.
We were there during the Hitman and Her night and a mate had his stag do. That was a fun night.
It was always a good night when the big man played. Can’t remember where I first heard him, likely elclipse, shelleys or quest in Wolverhampton (why was the midlands so good for raves?), but I do remember a night at red zone in sheffield at the Palais, with sweat dripping off the roof and home being the best I’d ever seen him (could of been the super doves) only for MC Lenny to appear half way through his set and the hole place blew up (pretty sure MC’s had gone out of fashion by that point). And yes the eclipse did get a bit moody
Takes me right back to my days in the Eclipse and Wobble
Amnesia at the Eclipse was my first rave.
What an eye opener that was.
Got talked into going by a certain person that went on to help form Royal Racing.
Cheers Nick. Changed my life that night did.
On the rave and MTB theme.
Dirt had there launch party at the Wobble venue.
It was terrible.🤣
Shelley’s
Met Mrsstu there.
Anyone else used to go to the unlicensed CREAM nights every saturday in Brum? Rabanas/Chevron shoes/the BT factory unit/anyhere they could get into around the Hockley flyover?
I still have a load of Rezerection and Fubar cassettes kicking around somewhere- I'll have a search on YouTube later see if I can find any.
Just listening to the mix.brilliant dj and brilliant tunes.carl cox is just such a great guy.

SubscriberWatched him do a lockdown mix the other day – three turntables as usual and some banging tunes with Donny warehouse ’92 on a screen in the background.
Only went to Eclipse once and had a terrible night. Duff pills and hassled by black dudes all night to buy more,
Would you have mentioned their skin colour if they were white?
Eskay, I was at Lechlade, that was such a great weekend. Whenever I drive through it, I have a little chuckle. The waste ground is still there by the round about.
Spiral Tribe ran it I think, flipping amazing.
Missed Castlemorton though.
Yes jkomo, it was amazing!! I am fairly sure it was Spiral Tribe, they knew how to put on a party.
I somehow got onto their mailing list and every now and then they would send through a flyer for an upcoming party (no location but a phone number to call on the night to find out the location).
One Wednesday or Thursday I got one through the post that was advertising a party in Rotterdam, the only info was that it would be in the Old Library.
Me and three of my mates booked a ferry for Friday and drove all the way to Rotterdam and arrived mid Saturday afternoon. We managed to find the library and partied hard all night. They were selling tapes and we bought a couple (still got mine and mp3s of both of them). At some point on Sunday we drove back to hook of Holland and headed home. I was back in work at lunchtime Monday morning. No idea how the hell we did that.
I still have most of the flyers they used to post through (and postcards advertising their 12" releases).
Thanks everyone for the tunes... Got round to listening today and accidentally missed all my afternoon's meetings. Worth it.
I still have a couple of 90s spiral tribe cds.
Just need to bump this, the F.A.C.T mix is great 🙂 Have a feeling that fact 2 is going to be up soon...
FACT was his biggest selling album apparently. I watched it when I got in from work on Sunday night, live. Bloody brilliant. Cygnus X to Thomas Heckman is magical...

quest in Wolverhampton
I'm from Wolves but I was 14 in 1990 but we all used to rock up to Diffusion or Ruby Red Records and get the Quest tapes. There's heaps online. From being a 13 year old into acid, then rave people seemed to split and went to happy hardcore nights, or jungle / drum n bass as it evolved. For me, DnB is a huge part of my life still. 44 year old and still going to DnB nights here in Perth. When a "classic" gets dropped and the kids don't even know the tune's 15 + years old.
Looking like we'll be back in the clubs soon here. Much excited!!!
I was still going to mos when I was 40 although I have moved now
FACT2 I remember being a lot more moody, so perhaps not so many air keys moments from Carl 🙁
Downloading some of these for future listening, thanks for the links!
I still have trouble navigating dance music, all I really know is The Prodigy and Chemical Brothers.
What I DO know though is that I love a bit of Chemical Brothers on the turbo, especially Surrender.
I've tried to figure out what I like, I think it's the blend of metronomic/bleepy/euphoric.
So, since all the experts are on this thread, what other artists are similar?
I find the Prodigy generally too brash and not repetitive/metronomic enough, although I do fancy getting a hold of Experience again just for old time's sake.
Death in Vegas get recommended, and I was a massive fan in Uni, but it's not upbeat enough.
Will check out a few of the mixes on YouTube but any 'training' tune recommendations gladly accepted.

Used to have this F.A.C.T mix on tape, full volume in my Mini, 6 x 9's bouncing on the rear shelf.
Carefree days - Where did it all go wrong !!
Some blasts from past here, thanks.
Something I’ve not managed to fully remember the title of but it was a Double CD House Compilation around 1996 that definitely had Alex P on it but it also came in a limited edition spiked rubber case? Anyone remember this from that far back?
