Massive respect to all that lived this era, we are legends in our own right.
Yes we are bro 👍😊
Love this song big your chest old skool for live one love
I was 10 years old jamming this on a massive boombox.
th-cam.com/video/NGPI_Ne8ZRQ/w-d-xo.html these tunes and many more coming from that era, if you lime to check my channel. White gloves and whistles 😊👍😁
I’ll forever be thankful that I grew up in the 90’s. Those of us who did should appreciate how unique it was, early 90’s especially. The drugs, the music and the culture amounted to something really special, the likes of which we are unlikely to see again for some time 🙂
The sheer genius of Acen back then... who else would have dreamed up a mix of hardcore The doors and The Beatles... he did again with Trip 2 The Moon and Window In the sky... A real piece of hardcore history!

@@tinoketkim Thank You
I know the early 90s they thought this more progression style was hardcore yet after the influx of Rotterdam and Chicago styles with the likes of Paul Elstak, Neophyte, Ruffneck an Lenny Dee I'm not seeing the hardcore. The progression of the 80s high energy to this style to grabber and hardcore was an absolutely astounding time in the fields and clubs. To think we then went into house and garage from Rotterdam. Off thing is our kids thought techno was their era of music 😁
@@justintime1307 To me Hardcore is exactly that, an amalgamation and fusion of lots of different styles, hence why they often change so much on the breaks, but the dutch sound was hard and faster to start off with, remember many of the techno pioneers from 1990/91 like High Energy, Holy Noise, Human Resource, Technohead and Dyewitness all doing Rotterdam style productions, i think this also spearheaded some of the more uplifting and happy hardcore sound of the mid to late 90s in Charlie Lownoise & Mental Theo, DJ Gizmo, Nzo & Invincible etc. but yes wasn't it all House & Techno back in the late 80s? 😀
hes playing kniteclub in september if yall game for coming at london scala
Back in the days when people used to go out for the amazing tunes and to dance their nuts off. Everyone was friendly and nobody stood posing in a corner or shagged on the dance floor! Teens today, you seriously do not know what you've missed out on!
2024 and still listening 👌
1992 i bought this in tesco on original 12 in tesco haha she still mine
+EnglishXnXproud yeah and the high street vinyl then tended to be chart poop! I was too wrecked to figure u could even buy this stuff and all my £ went on E's whizz petrol and club money! ah the good ol days! I'm straight as a pencil now lol! :0
What those pencils made of plasticy rubber???? Circa the 80s.... Loved them pencils!
whattttttttttt beeeeeg love , overdose
They sold SL2 on a ragga tip my first casette and Alternate😁
@@elizabethbradley3326
Haha....yeah....I nabbed a few classics at my local Wooley's....LFO, Moby 'Go'....but stupidly bought 808 State on cassette! Can't remember vinyl in Tesco tho'!
Oh my God, I’ve been searching for this song forever. I haven’t heard it in like 25 years, reminds me of warehouse raves in LA in high school. This jam used to treat me the fuck out, like a natural high. I miss the excitement of those nights.
Go to u tube and you will find all the old skool song on there big up
Still a banga in 2023🎉
'nuff respect to all hardcore ravers out there..ya all know the score!
+XMAXERO Yes brother
Yes dude !
we will never forget! !!
😉👍✊✌☝
XMAXERO STANDARD :-)
it just doesnt get any better than this!! bring back these tunes!
Saw these live at Kiss fm 2nd birthday party. Great night
Fucking hell... the feeling of being in a convoy... the knowing that we were doing something that had never been done before... with pills. Fuck! it was pretty magnificent and we should never ever feel bad about it. All these generations that preceded us never had house, acid, rave, techno.... they just have shit.
Just close your eyes forget your name, forget the people... Go Insane...
SirWap71 was it where the DOORS should be where the hell did the windowpanes go?
Done that a few times
Psychedelic Saturday has arrived! Just in time to pre church!
Berlin Club, Perth, Western Australia '92.... 6am, first crack of sunlight... DJ drops this to a packed house munching their faces off... Total mayhem!
That techno baseline with a hardcore undercurrent.. just a genius example of what rave was in '92
The best year for hardcore imo, went to sh!t pretty quickly after sadly. This tune is pure class.
@@adamandeve3592
Definitely the best year for hardcore.....but I loved 93 (best year for darkcore) and 94 -99 for the peak Jungle and DnB years. All the 90's basically, lol. Miss those days bad!
@@breakfreak3181 The decade of Rave.
@@MrMarkb68
Damn straight! We might be middle aged now, but we had the best years of rave!
@@adamandeve3592
I agree mate - 92 was the absolute peak of the mayhem - and then all the wanky people starting coming along and the music turned to shit.
it will never be repeated.
We're all part of the history.
: )
Still get goosebumps 30 years later lol
First time I heard this we were in a Vauxhall Cavalier going from a club to some party autumn 92. Cant remember the club (could probably guess) definitely cant remember the party but I can remember the "Here comes the sun..." moment clear as fuck. Mad.
If you still love your oldskool you may wish to have a listen to the new hardcore we are making in 2020 and beyond on our page.
It's the Vauxhall Cavalier reference that does me. Oh god yes. I bet it was marooom too. They all were!
Bonkers innit. Acen introduces more creativity in a loop than most do in one tune.
You can dip the needle almost anywhere on these tracks and there is always something really out there, fantastically out there even. So much creative sampling
This tune never dates. I was there back in the day when this dropped, and it has never aged. It's a mighty classic and I love the samples.
Good times!!! Greetings from Brazil!!
👌 takes me back to 91. Great time.
Too all my insomniac party people DTLA 12th and hope era,,,i miss those daze,,,❤
❤❤❤☀️❤❤❤
Simply smilin' 😊😊😊
Listening to this, I really miss those carefree days of old bopping around a little cow shed feeling the floor thumping!
One of the best old skool tunes ever
Who are the 21 people who gave this a thumbs down.
Why?
This is an all-time classic
They don't like The Beatles!
They will never get it, they couldn't possibly understand, I am so happy I witnessed the birth of rave, if I could go back I wouldn't change a thing.
Bunch of tasteless wankers
Very sad.
They took the lyrics too literally and went insane
Someone half inched my copy of this and I aint been able to find the proper version of it until now massive big ups ✌️
Only for the Headstrong 💯😜
craig beckford
Storm Rave '92
Bad ass tune craigy baby :-))
Go insane....
Definitely a mind fuck in Lucy.💯💪🔊😋🥴🥴🥴👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🇬🇧
Hard Core you know the score
When I first put this on you tube there weren't many views ! Happy to see there are some peeps that remember being 12 yrs old plus 😁😁😁
“Go insane....”. I still do when I throw this jam down. Lots of hazy recollections of driving through Southern California in the early nineties, on some wild goose chase to find the party. Fun while it lasted. Frankly surprised that I didn’t die or get injured.
Where's the map point? Go to the Shell gas station and a promoter would hand you a hard boiled egg with directions written on there to the underground...miss those daze. 😎
CHHHHOOOOOOOOON! Bigup all the old ravers who remember this banger! we were not just a culture scene we were a movement.
acen's tunes are all top notch quality sound
Wkikpedia: Acen Razvi is an English breakbeat hardcore/techno music producer. Acen was known for tracks such as "Close Your Eyes", "Window in the Sky" and "Trip II the Moon" (the latter two both 1992). He worked for the Production House Records stable, which also brought fame to Baby D. He released the album 75 Minutes.
He has also collaborated with Baby D's Floyd Dyce to form The House Crew.
He is now a filmmaker, specialising in short films under the name Acen Films Limited to be shown at festivals. Besides producing dance music tracks, his aim is to fuse art forms and to introduce pioneering visual and musical perceptions to new audiences.
In 1999, Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger described Razvi as "the most underrated act of the decade": "His series of 12″ singles, tossed out into the seething dance marketplace of ’92-’93, are without exception stunning. Acen is the lushest, and most lyrical, of the great hardcore producers, and if his gleeful inventiveness and wicked way with a sample are more typical of the time, that just goes to show what an unbelievable time it was. More than anyone else making records, Acen for me encompasses the beauty, velocity and freedom of hardcore."
In his list of the "Top 100 Singles of the 90s", "Trip II the Moon (Part 2)" was ranked at number 23 and "Close Your Eyes (Optikonfusion!)" was ranked at number 44, while "Window in the Sky" almost featured on the list.
How many drill artists can make that claim😊
Propa old skool vinyl, from the glory days! 👍
To the days of MARS FM 100.3 in Los Angeles. All trance/rave and industrial. 4:18 is where it jumps off.
Couldn't agree more mate I go insane from that point
Yes!!!! Awesome tune
Back when it was still about the music and not just the drugs.
Big up all right minded people.
pass on the blessing of this good music and dance.
pure genius
Yes mate bless up to you the 92 crew!! :)
Hellz yeah bad ass record!
this is a Fuckin tune
blunt and to the point ,,, OVERDOSE OVERDOSE
Why, oh the f..k, why so late?
Yeah, so they say it's never to late. Acen wasn't known in Poland back in 90s. Spotify put this song on daily mix and at first I was like: woah! Liam Howler's new old stuff. Looking at screen: wtf is Acen?
O h. m y. G o d.
I was raving to this stuff for an hour like trying to get back all those years not knowing about this stuff.
40 yo here. Yeah, still raving.
:)
I used to listen to this song on MARS FM in L.A. baaccck in the day!!
MARS FM? That's a name I've not heard in quite some time.
Still slamming vinyl. Best era!
Oh man, I loved this song so much in high school! I searched for this for a very long time with nothing other than 'overdose' that I could remember to search for. It's just as freakin' great as I remember it!
Great to hear this ULTRA RARE "Here Comes the Sun" version again. Looks like it will forever remain out of print.
Thanks for the post!
I have it on vinyl.. cant believe a just got it from a mate.
What an amazing remix of this track. Remember hearing at hardcore heaven in 97/98 history of hardcore event.
THANK YOU...reminds me of when I'd stay up late listening to powertools as a teen....those were the days growing up in CA in the 90s.
I woke up this morning and this track just randomly came in to my mind, i never thought i could actually find it and hear it again, thank you. what a track and what time it was back in the day.
Do you want a 12 inch ? mix
I remember Slipmat and Lime playing this in a mix around 92/93 loved the track ever since.
Found it available on discogs
MARS FM, FOREVER!!
YES!!! Mars FM early 90s
It was a great time in ny history to be part of... Back in the day...
We are the original raver's legands not to be forgotten. ✊
Got to get these back into my collection. Acen were vasty underrated thats insane
Lsd was my favorite street drug a very very long time ago even though weed lite is as far as I go at my age.
I still have this on 12”, still goes hard and dark
Me too
Damn. The 90's. You had to be there! Got this on vinyl BITD. Don't play it loud very often (wife, kid, neighbours, lol). Love this, but prefer the other remix on the flip, very intense!) My Beatles loving mum-in-law would throw a fit if she ever heard this!
Jim Morrison lives on in an Acen song!
Big uPs to Acen and his massive sound!
First time I heard this was on Quest 100FM with DJ Nexus on the wheels of steel. Loved it.
1992 👍🏻2019😎👍🏻
This tune is frickin Awesome, Brilliant sound effects, outta control Awesome.
Hot damn , brings back memories of raven at the "The Wust Radio Music Hall , Washington DC " in the early 90s.
1992 Original Insomniak raves in Los Angeles will never be outdone by today’s edc events.
Fuck yeah!!!... I got baby nephews looking at me like our times weren't the shit...just cause they make carnivals in the desert doesn't change the fact we were the Masters of the underground....shit ain't fun no more if it ain't illegal.....✌️✌️🍻🍻
Ur fucken rite ..
Sorry to burst your bubble but they’re all the same people. Go-Ventures, Insomniac and EDC were all the creative productions of Reza & Pasqual
@@JessAlekzandr try telling me something I didn’t know. My whole point is that i prefer the vibe of those smaller Warehouse raves to the big events of today. Shared many balloons with Pasqual at his insomniac party’s.
@@Maddyo73 after the fallout of him and Reza I barely went out anymore luckily I saved all the fliers and I still have all my vinyl. Did you happen to go to Davin’s rave wedding? The last major event I played at was at K-Rave still have my passport, whistle and bracelet.
ACEN & BEATLES 4-ever!
Absolute classic ... gear choon, mate!
:-)
WOW WHAT A CLASSIC! .... J
Blimey! Remember this at milwaukees!! Loved that place, pills ant thrills!!
mark wright milwaukees loved that place
+mark wright I was a Milwaukees regular as well and before that the Eclipse !! Halcyon Days mate.
I am what I am because of 92/93😎
i first heard this at the underground in Seattle...1993...OMG thank you for this....have been searching for this version since
+CHRIS LUCZAK I'm glad you did. I was always under the impression that the USA missed out on UK & European music scene back in the day.
It was underground, but I was also next to a University...so a lot of younger people to fuel the fire, i was also stationed in Germany for 3 years so I got HOOKED HOOKED to all things electronic. thanks again.
Took me a few years to figure out the lyrics were from Jim Morrison
+CHRIS LUCZAK Good call. The Doors - Insane and The Beatles - Close your Eyes. Both awesome tunes both awesome samples.
we had a great college station out of U. Washington seattle. Sundays they played house/hard techno/electronica for hours
Señor Acen es un genio 💎
Proper old skool 😍👏🏻 my favourite tune ever.
Production House FFS such a great label
freat post, I've been looking for this mix with the Beatles sample for ever. Heard this at my first ever rave, this tune stuck in my head as well as Powerpill by aphex twin. Great memories
A MIND FUCKING TUNE
Another all time favourite - takes me back best part of 20 years to a rave scene still in its infancy and at its best and purest, never to be repeated..
4:17 onwards is fucking insane and excellent. I love the insanity.. LL CoolJ sample with Mr Kirk tacked on the end is cheeky.
Shout out to the old Tooto's crowd, Frating Essex, the best times...
Close your eyes and open your ear's. Epic
One of my favorites of all time!!!
Bad Tune Nuff Respect 👍👊👊👊👊👊 RICHARD
For me the intro, then peculiar beginnings of this song made me feel like I was entering a spell, whenever it came over the radio in the hostel I worked at. Like being in the Twilight Zone while it played.
Here comes the sun
Back in the day we used to go to Hardcore Raves to listen to this, I still have old tape packs from back in the day with this on.
Thank you so much
Builds, builds up, keeps building up to my favourite bit @4:17 and then, bang! It really takes off :)
love that here comes the sun bit, I had this rare version years ago
Brilliant ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a great track to wake up to!
