Old School Rave- Show me your best

I keep thinking of more and more tunes from my yoof.
Oh the days of Fantazia and Universe

I work very close to the site of The Sanctuary. It is an Asda now 😥

Loving this thread.

Don’t know how to embed clips, but..

Deep Blue – Helicopter

Sonz of a loop da loop era – Far out

Altern-8 – Infiltr8 202

“watch yer bass bins, I’m tellin yer!”

Kinetic of longton is now the most hardcore of places.

The first time walking down the steps into Sterns underground. A genuine life changing moment.

Has anyone mentioned the legend that is Marshall Jefferson yet?

One of the best around IMO –

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 ‘watch this and realise how shit your life is now’….

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.

Dev – I could have said it better myself.

A mate of mine made this record

and another made this…

great days.

Joey Beltram – Energy Flash

Friday lunchtime revival..

House classic –

Hardcore classic. The intro strings’n’piano-to-bassline drop was one of my favourites – the whole place used to freeze and go dark, then the lazers lit up as it dropped and it all went nuts 🙂 …The rhythm is hot – boom! Loved this one –

and no classic rave track but definately one for the old-schoolers –

Kinetic of longton is now the most hardcore of places.

Sad… turning up in the carpark and hearing the building above the bus depot shaking and rattling with the bass, then walking in down the steps into the room, strawberry smoke and lazers.. damn I miss those days!

Sounds of Eden above, that brought back some memories from Legends in Warrington. Full of ravers but played 120bpm house music and almost disco / soul stuff, magic.

I love Utube music.. That Dunne Espiral track reminded me of a bootleg 12″ I have, with just ‘in spirit’ written on it.

Here it is, a proper goose-bumper..

Deviant, Oh yes I remember!!!

This if the link works is my Ultimate TUUUUUUUUUUUNE 8)

Is this thread on an automatic 6 monthly repeat cycle?

RAVE GENERATOR[/url]

A classic from Entropy Stoke.. pianos and bleeps!

This thread should be on a weekend-ly cycle 🙂

Beats griping about who rides what bike where and the like. Raves not rants!

Dunno if this will work, Friends, Lovers and Family: Children’s Stories

Wunundred!

Couldn’t have put it better than deviantdid up there! When you sit back and reflect on the utter insanity an average weekend used to consist of BITD ….. 😯

Summed up nicely by Mr Skinner…

Both awesome tight mixes, for those who enjoy a bit of jungle…

Despite being born in the wrong era, I prefer the old-school early 90s to 00s music – not the shite which is churned out today (Pendulum + Chase&Status – looking at you!)

Been to plenty of ‘old school’ raves around London – the scene is still very much alive! Perhaps it’s those who realise old is very much better….

( It took me 10yrs to find the below CD album, after I lost my original one! )

The original piano classic?

Music Takes You, that’s a great track.

Stumbled across this gem : Dee Patten ‘Who’s The Bad Man’ –

The other parts are on youtube…

Could not put it better myself. Queuing out side the empire at morecambe, bowlers and the hacienda in manchester, cream in Liverpool, angels in Burnley, back to basics in Leeds to name just a few. Ahh happy hazy days 8)

The Orbit in Osset,and then to Morley
POSTED 4 HOURS AGO # REPORT-POST
Went to orbit in Morley as well. Music was a bit ” hard ” for me but still had a good night.

Just found this – where I spent New Years Eve ’91. Lost my mates for about 4 hours.

It all started for me at The Limit in Manchester in 1991. Then moved on to Shelleys, kinetic and Bowlers!! Those days were amazing, feel so lucky to have been that age at that time, perfect 😯

Pills and lost hours in fields whilst on leave from the army, bonkers, but I don’t remember the cats.
