A Nova SR with 6x9's is much more appropriate 🙂

Middle distance stares and manic chewing, like a pro tour evening meal.

Agreed - always lots of very serious techno bores around when i was into dance music.

Well Junkyard off here features from around 9 seconds in. 😛

It's already been sent.

I know he had some grief in a similar club in Sweden back then so it is entirely possible......

I think Binners be talking rubbish.

Name a genre and we can all point to a single example and write it all off as shite.

97 people were still raving, helter skelter was still going strong.

I was an original raver and cyber kid. Proud of my clubbing roots.

Yes! The original trolling - get the argument going about how many bpm defined what type of electric thump/vocal was what, while a selection of some individuals adorned their obsession/dreamscape/bright white Tommy H jacket, which they would wear EVERY day.

Them were the days...not sure what type of days, but I remember a few of them.

I guess it all depends on what your flavour is, but for me techno had a lot more soul/funk that went far beyond BPM and hoovers.

Raving was only any good in the early 90's - the drugs became crap in the late 90's.

Best times of my life

Nah , It was 'Ballys' in Arbroath . They had great events we used to get a bus from Elgin and have a raffle for 'Recreationals' for the night.
It had some decent Dj's and Pa's at the time and Sasha and Digweed played a few times. 8)

The DJ is Jackie Morrison from Aberdeen in the clip but kilkie is in one of the others.

Thats the one yunki - although that video is a poor representation of a good night in there.

I'd literally pay thousands to replicate a night I had in there.

I'd already come out the other side by 97 🙂 Must be getting old...

driving round the M25, waiting for the announcement at a fixed time on a certain frequency on the radio for the location before turning up at some random field/cattle shed/disused factory/where ever and going strong until and beyond dawn. People there to enjoy themselves, the music , the atmosphere. generally no attitude and no tryhards. That's my memory of it.

Good times 😉

And I did it all clean...

Thats what Lance says. 😀

I started going to Raves around 91 after the whole Madchester scene and had pretty much stopped clubbing by around 97 when I lived in London . The last time I had the E'd up feeling was 'The Roses' at Heaton Park and that was just on beer and Nostalgia. 😆

A lot of the music hasn't stood the test of time but Im so glad I lived through It.

By 97 a lot of us had been kicking the arse out of it for the best part of ten years. The drugs were shite! And techno, to return to my original comment... Is, and always was.. Shit!

why??

simple as it goes. I was doing a sport where I could have been drugs tested and after a while I figured that I was having a brilliant time anyway so why bother. Like some teetotallers I guess.

Funny that; I remember a far better attitude towards folk back then.

I do sometimes wonder if it's a rose tint but there definitely wasn't the whole this is shit or not cool vibe that came about later and IMO killed the scene off. I guess it's a natural cycle.
