None of the stompers who made up the Melbourne Shuffle are going out to raves anymore at the time this footage was taken. It was invented in 1990 when New Jack dancing and stomping crossed over at clubs like Commerce, Maze, Chevron, Amadeus and Chasers. I was 1 of the first group of stompers to start doing it & we didn't know we were shuffling , it was just stomping & just how dancing evolved and it wasn't coined Melbourne Shuffle till 20 years after it started.
Pretty much yeah - I just missed the last night Maze@Commerce Club was open (members only that night eh), but went religiously to Pure every Friday for the next year and a half. As well as a lot of other places, but Pure was the best. Even danced in some club fashion shows for a friend who was making clothes. We called it "stomping" and ourselves "stompers" (not ravers, at least, not in my group of friends), and it was my obsession at that time. I see more Nothern Soul influences (from the UK Northern Soul scene in the 60s) in stomping than anything else, but sure things like the running man did get incorporated. And I did hear the term "Melbourne shuffle" in the late 90s...my guess is once trance and techno were being played at 140+bpm, the 'stomping' motion had to be reduced to a 'shuffle' just to keep up and not blow a gasket. One time I stomped to jungle around '93 and fit as I was, there's no way you could do that for more than a minute or two. Agreed, I only saw glimpses of our OG style in this vid...but that's what happened to the scene - everything got faster and harder.
So what? Make a video on the early stomping style.... and remember that stomping was already a term from the 60s and the style you started doing in 90 had roots before you. Pretty sad if No One from those days isn't dancing anymore but I don't believe it. Whinge fukn whinge
2000-2010 were the best years of the candy raver I've seen people in this video that I knew from back in the day and they all looked older than I remembered haha, ;) --40 years old with 3 kids now, the lucky ones retired, RiP to the ones that didn't make it, I miss it with all my soulBRING BACK KRYAL CASTLE 🤘 #3D NIGHT CLUB #BASS STATION #HARD KANDY #PHD #BUBBLE #GODS KITCHEN #EARTHCORE
21st century rushing raver! Great stuff. We used to celebrate Rave/Jungle/HappyHardcore/Trance/Gabber back then in the 90`s till some years after millenium when the whole clubscene disapeared. Germany was very special about electronic music. There where places where Breakbeat or Happy Hardcore has been the shit. Otherwhere it was Goa or Trance. We could drive from party to party and get the fck out of us. At the age of 40 we still feel young and fresh. So keep it going kids. GoGoRaver Much LVO from Germany
I gonna spit into the wind a little bit here, but this is my experience. I would not have known about shuffling at all if it weren't for LMFAO. I'm not a fan of his, but that it was so viral that you couldn't help but hear about shuffling... I stopped raving awhile back, but had been into liquiding and free handing, but this simply didn't exist on my map, not yet at least. Got back into the rave scene, and got mesmerized by the shufflers. Been rocking over a year now, and ain't stopping soon. :)
Wow, its great how the dancing, the music, seems to always bring people back in :D Would you be able to give insight on your journey after these few years later, are you still goin at it??
1) Malaysian hardstyle Shuffle is the best in my opinion. 2) I use to hate Jumpstyle but man, Jumpstyle is a workout on it's own. Those jumps outta put some calves into your legs 3) I'm glad I knew shuffling before LMFAO made a song about it 4) The first hardstyle dance I got to know (though still can't do) it tecktonik. I then got know about shuffling because I always saw tecktonik vs shuffling when I was searching for tecktonik and then got to know about jumpstyle later.
I want this so bad, i feel sorry for my self living in Denmark - it's so lame here and people are effing dimwits. Thumbs up for the music and dance!! I prefer progressive trance tho and i will hopefully get better anytime soon.
I mean shit at the end of the day there’s only such much you can do with only your legs and feet. Imagine complaining about the shuffle being too similar over the board when you can’t do shit with the shuffle itself. Imagine the Melbourne shuffle but without any hand movements just feet and legs would be boring as hell.

Right! We were stompers and you forgot The Melbourne Underground.❤

Hello, does anyone know the first track of the documentary ? From approx 0:33 to 3:00 , love it so much
benny drohan - back to program
full tracklist required
It was created from the Charleston and we took it from there xxz
baggy pants looks like it the ones from the northern soul scene bck in 60s and 70s.
Unironically that's where the dance came from too...
AFAIC Belgium is the source! R&S records, Musicman, FDW....🥰
Michael, from Melbourne.
这真是极好的
And lmfao destroyed the spirit behind it :'(
someone should sue lmfao for this
Does anyone know the song on the DVD menu that says "if you didn't come here to dance, then wtf you here for?"
Sounds like DJ S3rl's "Space Invader" haha
Yep! The underbelly director wants to do a project with me to remake it :)
Whos this anyway?
Why does this only have 1500 views?
People going to look at you like you're a freak so you need to dance like no one's watching every day of the week
1) Malaysian hardstyle Shuffle is the best in my opinion.
2) I use to hate Jumpstyle but man, Jumpstyle is a workout on it's own. Those jumps outta put some calves into your legs
3) I'm glad I knew shuffling before LMFAO made a song about it
4) The first hardstyle dance I got to know (though still can't do) it tecktonik. I then got know about shuffling because I always saw tecktonik vs shuffling when I was searching for tecktonik and then got to know about jumpstyle later.
