  1. Tell me about it mate.It was my birthday last week and I kept getting memories popping up on fb from 1year ago.At my favourite music venue in Amsterdam watching The Fun loving criminals and in my favourite bars coffeeshops out there.Just what I needed was reminding how much fun I was having on my last birthday when I was in bed at 8 on this one.
  2. Yes mate.I was only 15 and went there on a coach with 2 of my older pals that started taking me to raves shortly after.To be honest I cant remember a lot about the actual gig as I was off my nut on acid at the time.Theres a whole lot of gigs and raves from the late 80s up untill about 96 that I know were good fun and I enjoyed but I dont actuall remember too much about them???
  3. Following on from the rave thread.I love going out or travelling away to see live bands.So whos the most recent youve seen live,Best youve seen live or anyone youd like to see when or if we get to ever go to a live gig again? Last year I got to see Underworld and The Fun loving criminals both in Amsterdam within weeks of eachother and The Happy Mondays and The Sleaford mods both at a local venue to me.Best stricly instrumental band Ive seen was probably ACDCat Wembley arena or Pink Floyd in Berlin when the wall came down and most seen band would have been The Prodigy.Saw them the first time in
  4. I know the film and whos in it but cant remember what its called.Its a toss up of 2 or 3 titles
  5. Bit of Detroit house.Where it all started.
  6. Could never get my head around doing that stuff at parties.Tried it at a few big free squat parties in London in the late 90s but it wernt my thing Although the parties were f***ing mental.
  7. Mate the proper raves were over by 92.Everything after that just became commercialised.If where youve been plays slow songs at the end of the night I reckon youve been going to school Disco's
  8. No mate.The big ones down here were,Sunrise parties,Raindance,Dance 90,91,92 and World Dance.Then the clubs started getting all night licences.Apart from that it was all the smaller parties like the ones we were putting on which I always enjoyed more anyway
  9. About as much into hardcore as I got before it all got a bit too gimmicky and cringy ???
  10. If you was born in 92 you aint never been raving ???
  11. Oh no that happy hardcore stuff was f***ing awful.And them c**ts in white gloves blowing f***ing whistles and horns was even worse.
  12. A lot of the early acid house stuff was a lot slower.It wasnt untill 92ish when it all started getting much more commercialised that it all started getting a lot faster.
  13. How about a bit of chicago Hip house Francie?
  14. One that always gets the crumpet on the dancefloor
  15. Another old classic just for you Francie
  16. Tune was big in the acid days pre 91.My pal still plays it from time to time now if the crowd is right.Over 50s???
  17. If you remember this from back in the day you can definitely class yourself an old school raver.
  18. Missed out on 4 trips 2020.2 long weekends in the Dam.A fortnight in a Villa the North end of Mallorca with my pal and our Daughters and a fortnight in a villa with 7 of my pals in ko Samui Thailand.Luckily got most of our dough back for the 2 Dam trips and the Thailand trip and the Villa company have rescheduled our fortnight for this July in Spain but aint holding out much hope for shit being back to normal by then.
  19. Exactly what I was saying at the start of this thread.We sat on a balcony looking down watching that Deborah De Luca play a few years back and shed be busy dancing as a new track was coming in then a few minutes later shed be pushing buttons and twisting knobs and nothing would be happening and she wore her headphones round her neck for the whole set.Anyone who knew anything could see it was pre recorded.Luckily for her the whole crowd were too busy pouting into their phones to notice.
