Taking us back to the best time of our lives I started raving 1990 ESP Supernova was 16 then never stopped every weekend for 20 years the tunes back then were the best it's amazing how when you hear one you get this random flashback happy times 😎 Shout out to the rave yoda hardcore you know the score💯👍
Hardcore uproar & leftfield not forgotten in 1990 was the tracks that got me into the rave scene. Strings of life was another memorable track from those days and 808 state in yer face! Brilliant heady times. Anything made by R&S such as Joey Beltram’s energy flash and Human Resources Dominator. Also vamps outlander was the ultimate hardcore track in mid 91. Wicked selections. For me 91 was the best year for the rave scene. 🕊️🙌🕊️
@@Gavaldo Suddi from Hardcore uproar is always very proud to see comments like this he’s still doing live sets and singing the crazy part in that track a lot of them play at Ayr Street Rave & Pavilion 🙂
@@kategoodbun6537 Hey my friend. Yeah I’m an Edinburgh lad who started my first rave at the Glasgow Hacienda with Marc Smith Scratching away after following him from the old warehouse Madri Gras in Dunlop st. Glasgow. So was at Technodrome Earthquaker Ayr Pavilion Metro etc and the awesome Prestwick Eurodance events. Then in 93/96 I had the wonderful experience from being a raver to working with The Rhythmic State. So during that period I met all the DJs & bands Like the mighty N’Joi prodigy Praga kahn Carl Cox Sasha Joey Beltram etc, due to us playing the Rezerection gigs and nothing was as good as those early years. Small world but yeah I also still go to the odd Streetrave now at SWG3. Jon Mancini and crew. Magical stuff. Great to hear another good Scottish original acid/house fan online who actually knows what great music is & not those people who started in 94 & think that gabba nonsense is hardcore & old school they just don’t get the original scene. Respect Due To You Kate. 🕊️🙌🕊️
@@Gavaldo that’s brilliant what a great life and amazing to meet some great people for sure lovely world it was for us back then, the good old days we were very lucky to experience them but also lucky that the originals are still doing some brilliant raves, going back to the old ways no phones just enjoying the music and people again 🙂👊
@@kategoodbun6537 So So True. You speak My Language Kate. Keep the dream alive. Great times we had that only if you were there you understand what the experience meant to us who went to these amazing events. Proper raves all as one together dancing to the same music and I had that feeling that it was our little secret before the mainstream promoters came and the music spit into different genres. Nothing beats that special moment in a club when you know the person next to you is feeling the same rush from one of those classic tracks. Very lucky to be there in the moment. Like you said without phones no worries and Social media etc. we done good Kate. 🕊️👍✌️
I had Zero B on a mixtape and would turn all the lights off making the room pitch black and listen to it on repeat. I had no idea who made it or really any idea about the rave scene but I would get hallucinations and visions to that track. It was life changing. Today I work in music making rave and house plug-ins and samples.
Great video Jake as always! My start point was in 1987. Id listened to all sorts before, OMD, The Cure, The Fall....then day one this guy was playing a tape in a car park in our army camp.....i said whats that youre playin? Chicago House music he replied. That was it....i was hooked and started buying House vinyl. Then came Acid House.....never heard anything like it....nutts! Holidays in Tenerife in 88 brill...the DJs would be playing it live...it was just brill. Left the army then rave came along....on it went....jungle....club anthems.....what a period of music we had. Im 61 now and was one of the old farts chatting to you at Rave Story! I never liked that guy who played that tape and the feeling was his too. But he would possibly in that end of life group of people you talked about....keep up the videos they make me happy! 0:46
Ha 😆 well hopefully it'll be a good while before you're looking out at that crowd mate. Cheers for sharing that musical journey...you really did see it all emerge. I enjoyed the old fart convo by the way 😁👊
Late 91 into 93 regular at Rage Thursdays and Orange @ the rocket on Saturdays was the best. Things just started to get too moody into 94 / 95 and the music started to follow in the same vein. Love the old days still so strong in my mind.
Strings of life is my life tune, it's what got me aged 12 listening to my neighbours tunes, I've heard every version of it over the years never gets old. Keep On Raving
@@DavidMorley Those TZ ones were great, at the time nobody knew what they were other than some R&S side project. I think I got the first 9. I remember the guy in Eastern Bloc going listen to this, we think it's Outlander. I've got one of your early ones on Apollo too.
Those opening cords for Strings of Life send shivers down my spine. Love it. Had to add one that gets overlooked and absolutely sends the floor into chaos. Soundclash - The Burial
I'm the one and only DOMINATOR I'm the one and only DOMINATOR Ime bigger I'm bolder I'm rougher I'm tougher in other words sucker there is no other I'm the one and only DOMINATOR 👌👌
R&S records and XL recordings smashed it back in the day , for me didn't matter what the track was just collected all on the label . Kids this day have no idea of the culture we loved and experienced as ya said driving around trying to hear the bass or flashing lights to find the rave and chatting with strangers exchanging bottles of water etc
This was fucking brilliant.These tunes are etched into my brain and soul.The closing words were so right.. i truly feel the time did do that to me,, the empathy i felt for the people and music changed me for the better and somehow its still there
The music from these times will always be pure magic. I wasn't old enough to go out, but discovered pirate radio in late 1990. From loving Paul Hardcastle and The Art Of Noise as a kid in the mid '80s, to Jack Your Body and stuff, into Italo house, Chicago and Detroit stuff, bleep and onto hardcore and house... Really defined an era that sadly will never be captured again..
Very similar to me, discovered this all in 1999 aged 10! My mum/late dad had a HiFi stack system I aways used to mess about with and one day I discovered a pirate station, liked what I heard and that was that! Always loved playing my parents 45rpm copy of Hardcastles' 19 too!
Joey Beltram was the man back then, the dopest rave track ever imo was the remix of "Mentasm" Whenever i play the vinyl i get this energy wanting to dance. He created that synth sound that many copied. Doesn't get doper than this trust me.
Literally feel like I just stepped back in time and through the woods to that magical, musical clearing full of sound, lights, lasers and dancers - thank you for such a perfect description - a real journey 👍🥰 Dominator still evokes all those feelings to this day; guess that's what it means to be a true classic 🎵🎶
Good stuff. Many of those tunes, especially the 90-92 stuff, burned into the brain. So many great memories. What a time. Glad I was alive at that time. Felt like the best time ever.
Wow Energy Flash,Strings of Life theyre all classics mate I learnt to mix with Zero B lock up and a handful of others.I had the XL recordings double LP 2nd chapter which had most of these tunes on.The Belgians have a big part to play in our Rave history.R&S was a excellent label back then.
Hey Jake, always a highlight of the day when you release a new video or mix 😊 So glad I happened across your channel, not just for the belting tunes but also your memories and philosophy. I was born in 89 so was 2 when most of these came out (-2 when Strings of Life was released!) 😅 However, I've been addicted to this music along with a lot of the house and garage from the mid 90's since I was around 10 so circa '99 (after messing around with my mums HiFi and stumbling across a pirate station!) I've been hooked ever since and got my first decks around 14-15 and never looked back now at the ripe old age of 35! Even more, during lockdown, I started constructing a small bedroom studio through picking up vintage hardware like samplers and synths from the 80-90's to have a play around producing tracks like the greats did back in the day! 😁 It's a slow but steady project and something I dabbled in a little back in my teens :) Finally, though a lot of our 'elders' say the days are over and the magic is gone, while it will never be the same, it's not too different now. I can relate to everything you say from the hang outs in the woods smoking as a teen to the convoys, to being in a disused quarry beaning off your nut and smiles for miles! 😉 There may be some new music like house and liquid D&B which I also love but still a healthy dose of oldschool hardcore and jungle too. Think it helps as some of the organisers were the ravers back then! Just last month, we met at Tesco car park and head in a convoy to an abandoned brake factory in North Wales for one, exactly the way you shared! 😊 That said, I actually live in Epsom so know many of the areas you mention well! 😉 Another great episode and I shall look forward to the full mix! 😁
A bloody masterpiece this, these tracks are bang on, a very special time indeed. It’s a shame the scene was moving at a break-neck speed at the time 🏎️
Every single tune played is an absolute screemer.Great taste jake, there wasn't a tune that i don't have, all bought back in the day.Could fill the comment section up with similar stories like yours.Remember one time driving round m25 for hours on end, then ended up in white waltham (sun rise) 10 mins up the road from where i lived.....happy happy times 😍
Whilst watching this video for the second time, something occurred to me. Ever thought of doing an audio book? Your journey through the rave years from the eyes of an Oldskool raver. I'd listen to it for hours. Your journies are fascinating 😊👍👊
I really loved the early 90s and the Hardcore. Im still a raver now at 52 i went to a Drum and Bass night not long ago with Grooverider and Fabio. I must of been one of the oldest ones in the club.
Aw mate, this is awesome, it brings back so many memories, used to live in Cornwall from '88 to early '91 and remember going to the bowgie inn in Newquay and seeing Richard D James on the decks with his homemade synths and effects desk ie Aphex twin and then clubbing in milton keynes in the mid late 90's at Ultra Vegas, and some good woods parties. Good times 👍
Jake, best episode yet! You should write a boo on the 90s rave scene, you'd sell thousands mate, judging by all your coments on every episode. Glad i gound someone with the same vamp experience. My first rave, labyrinth, and that tune hit me and got me hooked forever. Spot on jake. Thank you
I’m 53, first got into electro early 80s, then a few years later mate bought a Chicago House mix and Jungle Wonz hooked my big time! Been into all genres of electronica since then. From Chicago to Detroit and back to brightly for our own breakbeat varieties! As I type this Beltram is playing what a choon!
Great memories these man, love hearing these stories of the times you had at the rave parties and outdoor parties in the middle of nowhere, unfortunately I was born in 1998 so I didn’t go to those myself but still heard these tunes through tapes and other mixes and now have most of them on Vinyl. got quite a few of those tunes that you’ve played in that mix such as dominator, vamp, lock up and Anastasia. another good video man and looking forward to hearing the mix
It's really fun watching these. I enjoy listening to your stories and finding new rave tunes to listen to through your videos. Even though I hate that I wasn't alive during that time(I was born in 2006), I still really love listening to and discovering tunes to listen to and appreciate them for what they are. Even if there's a video of yours where none of the tunes stick out to me, I still enjoy listening to what you have to say about them. Keep doing what you do!! :)
That's really nice feedback thank you 🙏 They were magical times to have grown up in...but as I said in the video, the energy of that period still lives in the music, and still attracts like-energies such as yourself. Thanks for being here ❤️
Hey Jake. Bugger me, this dragged up some dusty memories! Back in the days when hardcore tracks got some mainstream radio play! What a shift in hardcore through those years. From ambient, chilled tracks into the 92 and 93 sounds. Incredible! Another top video mate. Respect 👍👊❤️
This has got to be one of my favourites if I had to choose one so far absolutely loved this era not knowing anyone being off on our own in our own world, the quarry was a mad one, people were in the distance jumping off a big hill which looked mad legs flying everywhere we didn’t know until the light came up that they were landing in a big pile of sand. And yes the generator ran out they would take a bucket round collecting money to fill it up again. What great memories thanks again Jake this is a beauty ❤️👊
Mad how more and more memories pop up when you get your head into that place hey. I don't remember the people jumping down the hill...but the buckets for money..yes! that does ring a bell.
It's lovely to hear these story's, and you told them well. I'm not really one for nostalgia but I'm glad we all got to have the same kind of experiences for that little bubble of time. We were very lucky.
Good lord. Each piece of vinyl a classic which I have on one format or another. I was around at that time, just a little younger. But LOVED the music and the VHS recordings of Raves I could watch. I lived through that era with just the music and my imagination and still play them today. So, so looking forward to the mix 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍🎉👍 lovely words at the end there too. ❤
brilliant as always Jake. Love these vids, I never knew who or what the name of Outlander - Vamp was until now 😎 Most of my records are 93 to 95 jungle / hardcore. I want to track these tune you've played in this and have a little mix now 😁
my first rave(and first pill) was at disused warehouse somewhere south of england in 1987. cant remember too much about it, apart from one track, master c & j - in the city (the devil mix). the sound system was banging, the kick drum, atmosy pads and messed up vocals took me to another planet. a few weeks later i heard that track on pirate radio, the radio dj gave the track id and on the saturday morning i went record hunting. bagged it in a record shop in croydon..iv still got that 12inch, its batterd, warped to hell, had far too many beers and blimp burns dropped on it. but i'll never part with it.
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence i dont tthink the younger generation realises just how important pirate radio was back in the day. pirate radio was our social media, its where we heard of the gigs that were coming up. radio 1, capital radio and local radio wernt goona play the muisc we were into(altho colin faver and colin dale lead the way on radio 1). if you had a decent fm tuner and a good quality fm ariel, i could pick up energy fm, lightening fm(essex), all the london pirates, green apple fm(now point blank fm)(somewhere near slough). and those little stations that only lasted a week coz the dti busted them or the other pirate stations robbed their sets ups. the pirates where just as much part of the scene as we where driving to get to an illegal warehouse party.
Superb video in every way! Loving the t-shirt...of course ! Good to see you at The Rave Story mate 👍 Remember having Vamp on a Kiss FM tape I'd been able to record, Colin Faver or Colin Dale ❤🎵🎵🎵😀
Such great tunes .. such memories .. I’m 55 .. I used to go to Brooklands college next door to the Hand & Spear (used to drink snakebite and black in there in lunchtimes 😂) .. started partying at Jolly Boatman, Hampton Court and that led on to everywhere and anywhere 🤪.. happy days .. love your t-shirt Jake 👍
Thanks for playing Hoovers and Spray cans Jake ❤Been trying to get Mark to play it for weeks on the Rave Shed 😆LOL @ machine elves Jake 🤖 Seen them a couple times myself, elusive yet playful they are LOL. You have become the David Attonborough of Rave History 🤣Can tell you enjoy making these videos as much as we all enjoy watching 👍Ahh the memories...we are all synced by these tunes forever.
First rave I went to I didn't even know i was at a rave. I was in wonder at how everyone could dance for as long as they did. I was buggered after only 2 hours!
I started my raving in 1990 in Reading. It was under a huge railway bridge, must of been a thousand or more of us going crazy to these tracks. The police would pop by say "Ello" then pop off again. After a phew out popped the sweets again lmao. Those were amazing times, o feel were better than the legal warehouse raves. The vibe, atmosphere and energy that came with finding these "illegal" raves in the middle of nowhere or in an abandoned shop near cemetery junction with 50 others. In which there was a cabinet by the decks with a guy behind it selling loads of sweets on top lmao. Like I said those were amazing times
Well done and thank you for putting this together! It's always interesting to hear peoples stories and experiences with these tracks as they had first come out. I first heard these via a local djs mixtape back in 1995. Being a 14 year old kid in a small West Texas town, I had only ever been exposed to country music, rock/grunge, and pop. The idea that music could sound like this was completely foreign and fascinating to me. Needless to say, it set me on a lifelong journey of exploring all subgenres of electronic music. Beyond that, diving into the non-electronic genres, that served as influnces to those. Such as Dub, Jazz, and classical.
I was only 12 in 1990, so was restricted to enjoying these tunes at home. Messiah, Smart Systems, House Crew etc. Some great compilations in that day too. Kaos Theory, Only For The Headstrong, Kickin Records -Champion Sound, even the Hit The Decks series was fun. Well, for a 12 year old anyway.
That was amazing! Thank you so much for unlocking so many memories for me. I was 18 in 90 and raved all the way through to 92. So many banging tunes....you've transported me back to those heady carefree days....Sterns Worthing, Storm Hastings Pier to name a couple...good times. Only fly in my ointment was I had to be back on parade in Aldershot Monday morning!! It was my little secret. Thanks again...
Great vid. Brings back those memories! Zero B, a proper hands in the air classic. I also loved the original version of Injected with a poison from that era. Keep up the great work
Spot on selection of tunes 😃. All the ones me and my mate bought and used to Dj with in his bedroom back in 91! Special times where every weekend we'd discover new records that would forever be part of our lives 🙌🏻
Wow what a journey great tunes and good stories...Energy Flash is such a good tune and just added Cubic 22 to my collection now that i know who it was by Thanks Jake Great mix
Detroit - New York - Netherlands - Belgium - Detroit - UK (Big up Choci) - UK/Canada - UK - Belgium > so many influences feed into UK Hardcore Jungle Techno from the early 90s. Great memories.
You sum up the nostalgia perfectly, and as I’ve said before, have an amazing gift for putting in-transcribable feelings and music into such beautiful words.
Im from up north ....i was introduced to Rave scene after an all day hangover after drinking friday night ..my mates dragged me to reo ..campas Bradford ....drooped a dove and was no longer intrested in foorball or beer .... wow ....up north we had lots of awesome clubs but mainly piano house with some hardcore ....i remember a alnighter in a field in Winchester ....while my friends went to the house tent ...two of us headed for the hardcore tent ...we loved the chance in beat and pase .....dont know how the f..... i drove home to north yorks sunday lol ....🕊🎶
Wow Jake..what an episode. Amazing tunes & when you begin to describe your personal memories & the emotions you felt, it brings back so many of my own & gets me thinking of all the great nights out with friends who are still in my life now. Hearing Zero B-Lock Up tripping off my nut, certainly set me off to wanting more & go out every week. We really were lucky to be there when times were so good & the respect everyone had for each other made it too. Only wish i had a time machine to go back to some of the best night's of my life. Although putting on some vinyl & hearing tunes, transports me back every time anyway 😎. Much respect to you mate, thanks for the channel & look forward the full mix dropping. 👊🏻
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence no worries Jake. Always look forward to your vlogs & what tunes you will dig out next. A time machine would be golden for sure but we are lucky that music brings back the memories & i always find it amazing how you hear tunes & know exactly when you heard them first. All the best to ya 👊🏻
Nice1 Jake. Sounds like our 1st experience was at a very similar time. Was at Electrowerkz last week, and my mate said "Oi, that Jake from vinyl reminiscence is over there". Spent the next half hour looking for you just to say hello and show my appreciation for your videos. Couldn't find you, and then Ratty came on, and that was that !! Hopefully see you next time - and keep up the good work. Love the vids, and your enthusiasm for our music 🎶. ❤😉
Hello mate 👊 Ah shame we didn't catch up there...would've been nice to say hello. Good day hey. Ratty packed that room out didn't he 😊 I'll be at Raindance later in the month...if you're there, come and have a chat 👊❤️
@rave-vinyl-reminiscence Yeah - what an atmosphere @5pm for Ratty. Superb! Unlikely to be at Raindance, but I will defo be in Camden in December for 🍊. Hopefully see you there? Keep the vids coming, 💚 the analysis of a subject close to my heart. Nice1 👍
My first nights were in Coventry, the early Amnesia nights at Sky Blue Connection. I'd been buying House and Techno for about 12 months as well as the hardcore hip hop that was big at the time. And then suddenly all nighters arrived less than 10 miles from where I lived. Fantastic nigjhts they were to. Meet up pub was the Tally Ho in the centre of Cov, and then it was join the traffic. First time I heard most the tracks played in this mix was on those nights

I was born in 89 so was 2 when most of these came out (-2 when Strings of Life was released!) 😅 However, I've been addicted to this music along with a lot of the house and garage from the mid 90's since I was around 10 so circa '99 (after messing around with my mums HiFi and stumbling across a pirate station!) I've been hooked ever since and got my first decks around 14-15 and never looked back now at the ripe old age of 35!
Even more, during lockdown, I started constructing a small bedroom studio through picking up vintage hardware like samplers and synths from the 80-90's to have a play around producing tracks like the greats did back in the day! 😁 It's a slow but steady project and something I dabbled in a little back in my teens :)
Finally, though a lot of our 'elders' say the days are over and the magic is gone, while it will never be the same, it's not too different now. I can relate to everything you say from the hang outs in the woods smoking as a teen to the convoys, to being in a disused quarry beaning off your nut and smiles for miles! 😉 There may be some new music like house and liquid D&B which I also love but still a healthy dose of oldschool hardcore and jungle too. Think it helps as some of the organisers were the ravers back then! Just last month, we met at Tesco car park and head in a convoy to an abandoned brake factory in North Wales for one, exactly the way you shared! 😊
That said, I actually live in Epsom so know many of the areas you mention well! 😉
Another great episode and I shall look forward to the full mix! 😁
A bloody masterpiece this, these tracks are bang on, a very special time indeed. It’s a shame the scene was moving at a break-neck speed at the time 🏎️
Every single tune played is an absolute screemer.Great taste jake, there wasn't a tune that i don't have, all bought back in the day.Could fill the comment section up with similar stories like yours.Remember one time driving round m25 for hours on end, then ended up in white waltham (sun rise) 10 mins up the road from where i lived.....happy happy times 😍
😀Ha thanks mate....yeah so many good stories out there
Whilst watching this video for the second time, something occurred to me. Ever thought of doing an audio book? Your journey through the rave years from the eyes of an Oldskool raver. I'd listen to it for hours. Your journies are fascinating 😊👍👊
Jason... you're trying to give me even more work to do 😆
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscenceme and 3 others who liked the idea mate 😉🤣
@jasonburns8270 😆
5 now mate! Me and 4 others! Get talking Jake 🤣👍
@@jasonburns8270 🤣🤣
I saw another comment about writing a book...and instantly thought 'Jason'll bloody pick up on this now' 🤣
Set up System - Music and noise will always be in my top 5 "Rave" tracks ever. Just putting it out there ;)
yeah this is peak Rave IMO
@@gentlemanbirdlake absolute beast of a track mate
I really loved the early 90s and the Hardcore. Im still a raver now at 52 i went to a Drum and Bass night not long ago with Grooverider and Fabio. I must of been one of the oldest ones in the club.
😄👊
Brilliant Jake, I used to go to the Hand & Spear all the time, being a Walton boy we picked the pellets up from The Plough beforehand 🤙
😊Ha...nice one ❤️
Outlander - Vamp is just unmatchable and unbelievable energy. I occasionally play it in the mornings… better than any coffee.
Do your neighbours prefer coffee ? 😆👊❤️
@ 🫶🏼
great memories, the best time of my life.
Good to see you're still about, Browno. Been subscribed to your excellent channel for years. All the best mate.
😊🙏❤️
Aw mate, this is awesome, it brings back so many memories, used to live in Cornwall from '88 to early '91 and remember going to the bowgie inn in Newquay and seeing Richard D James on the decks with his homemade synths and effects desk ie Aphex twin and then clubbing in milton keynes in the mid late 90's at Ultra Vegas, and some good woods parties. Good times 👍
87 damn ! That was being played in 91 100% amazing track!
Jake, best episode yet! You should write a boo on the 90s rave scene, you'd sell thousands mate, judging by all your coments on every episode. Glad i gound someone with the same vamp experience. My first rave, labyrinth, and that tune hit me and got me hooked forever. Spot on jake. Thank you
I meant book and found....excuse my fat thumbs! 😂
I’m 53, first got into electro early 80s, then a few years later mate bought a Chicago House mix and Jungle Wonz hooked my big time!
Been into all genres of electronica since then. From Chicago to Detroit and back to brightly for our own breakbeat varieties!
As I type this Beltram is playing what a choon!
👊😍
Great memories these man, love hearing these stories of the times you had at the rave parties and outdoor parties in the middle of nowhere, unfortunately I was born in 1998 so I didn’t go to those myself but still heard these tunes through tapes and other mixes and now have most of them on Vinyl. got quite a few of those tunes that you’ve played in that mix such as dominator, vamp, lock up and Anastasia. another good video man and looking forward to hearing the mix
Just as I said at the end Jake mate...the music brings us together, across the generations 🙏❤️
It's really fun watching these. I enjoy listening to your stories and finding new rave tunes to listen to through your videos.
Even though I hate that I wasn't alive during that time(I was born in 2006), I still really love listening to and discovering tunes to listen to and appreciate them for what they are. Even if there's a video of yours where none of the tunes stick out to me, I still enjoy listening to what you have to say about them.
Keep doing what you do!! :)
That's really nice feedback thank you 🙏
They were magical times to have grown up in...but as I said in the video, the energy of that period still lives in the music, and still attracts like-energies such as yourself.
Thanks for being here ❤️
Hey Jake. Bugger me, this dragged up some dusty memories! Back in the days when hardcore tracks got some mainstream radio play!
What a shift in hardcore through those years. From ambient, chilled tracks into the 92 and 93 sounds. Incredible!
Another top video mate. Respect 👍👊❤️
Thank you Jason mate 😊👊
Zero B lock up thank you, loved that yune. The synth melody just sends me somewhere 😊 👍 thank you for making these videos Jake 🙏
Slipmatt style 90-91 Best dance music I've ever heard!
This has got to be one of my favourites if I had to choose one so far absolutely loved this era not knowing anyone being off on our own in our own world, the quarry was a mad one, people were in the distance jumping off a big hill which looked mad legs flying everywhere we didn’t know until the light came up that they were landing in a big pile of sand. And yes the generator ran out they would take a bucket round collecting money to fill it up again. What great memories thanks again Jake this is a beauty ❤️👊
Mad how more and more memories pop up when you get your head into that place hey.
I don't remember the people jumping down the hill...but the buckets for money..yes! that does ring a bell.
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence definitely triggers so many is brilliant mate
It's lovely to hear these story's, and you told them well. I'm not really one for nostalgia but I'm glad we all got to have the same kind of experiences for that little bubble of time. We were very lucky.
Very indeed mate.
Cheers 👊
Only lasted for a short time I genuinely feel blessed that I was there
🙏❤️
Perception June 91 was my first. Bloody hell, that was a good night.
Good lord. Each piece of vinyl a classic which I have on one format or another. I was around at that time, just a little younger. But LOVED the music and the VHS recordings of Raves I could watch. I lived through that era with just the music and my imagination and still play them today. So, so looking forward to the mix 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍🎉👍 lovely words at the end there too. ❤
Thank you mate ❤️
Full mix will be out by the end of the week 👊
brilliant as always Jake. Love these vids, I never knew who or what the name of Outlander - Vamp was until now 😎 Most of my records are 93 to 95 jungle / hardcore. I want to track these tune you've played in this and have a little mix now 😁
Strings of Life is an amazing track from the very early days 🙌 Derrick May
🙏❤️
Funny enough I was just reading earlier about when Derek May sold his TR-909 to Frankie Knuckles. From that moment, house music was born!
1st project absolute pure class!!! ❤❤❤
Absolutely on the money this one. You're a legend, thank you for these vids.
Thanks mate...it's a total pleasure 👊❤️
my first rave(and first pill) was at disused warehouse somewhere south of england in 1987. cant remember too much about it, apart from one track, master c & j - in the city (the devil mix). the sound system was banging, the kick drum, atmosy pads and messed up vocals took me to another planet. a few weeks later i heard that track on pirate radio, the radio dj gave the track id and on the saturday morning i went record hunting. bagged it in a record shop in croydon..iv still got that 12inch, its batterd, warped to hell, had far too many beers and blimp burns dropped on it. but i'll never part with it.
Ha nice story mate...cheers for sharing 👊❤️
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence i dont tthink the younger generation realises just how important pirate radio was back in the day.
pirate radio was our social media, its where we heard of the gigs that were coming up.
radio 1, capital radio and local radio wernt goona play the muisc we were into(altho colin faver and colin dale lead the way on radio 1).
if you had a decent fm tuner and a good quality fm ariel, i could pick up energy fm, lightening fm(essex), all the london pirates, green apple fm(now point blank fm)(somewhere near slough).
and those little stations that only lasted a week coz the dti busted them or the other pirate stations robbed their sets ups.
the pirates where just as much part of the scene as we where driving to get to an illegal warehouse party.
Superb video in every way!
Loving the t-shirt...of course !
Good to see you at The Rave Story mate 👍
Remember having Vamp on a Kiss FM tape I'd been able to record, Colin Faver or Colin Dale ❤🎵🎵🎵😀
Thanks Steve mate 👊
Yeah it was good to see you there.
Rockin' the Sterns t-shirt
As the woman said on the dancefloor "did you lot come together?" 😆
Another fabulous episode! I felt like I was watching jackanory tell me a story !!
Ha 😆 Jackanory 👊❤️
Hoping your well and life is treating you well Jake. Looking forward to the next instalment 🥳🕺
Your closing philosophy brought a lump to the throat. Beautiful vid. Awesome tunes. Looking forward to the whole mix. 😁 ♥️ 🎶 🎹 💊
I'm glad it resonated with you 🙏❤️
Thank you 😊
Such great tunes .. such memories .. I’m 55 .. I used to go to Brooklands college next door to the Hand & Spear (used to drink snakebite and black in there in lunchtimes 😂) .. started partying at Jolly Boatman, Hampton Court and that led on to everywhere and anywhere 🤪.. happy days .. love your t-shirt Jake 👍
Thanks for playing Hoovers and Spray cans Jake ❤Been trying to get Mark to play it for weeks on the Rave Shed 😆LOL @ machine elves Jake 🤖 Seen them a couple times myself, elusive yet playful they are LOL. You have become the David Attonborough of Rave History 🤣Can tell you enjoy making these videos as much as we all enjoy watching 👍Ahh the memories...we are all synced by these tunes forever.
😆David Attenborough of rave ... now that's an analogy worthy of a Machine Elves conversation 😄
Cheers for tuning in mate 👊❤️
Human Resource /Dominator was deffo class I think my brother still has that vinyl . It was really a warm up tune to kick off the night in style .
Anasthasia - that is my rave choon, this is the one that blew my mind at the first rave I ever went to.
Great innit 👊❤️
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence Without doubt.
Nice one Jake! Dominator was an absolute game changer for me. The 'hoover sound' blew me away and been a hoover lover ever since 😂
Get round my gaff then mate...it's desperate for it
@rave-vinyl-reminiscence 🤣
Same ❤
First rave I went to I didn't even know i was at a rave. I was in wonder at how everyone could dance for as long as they did. I was buggered after only 2 hours!
Superhuman enthusiasm 🤔😆
Strings of life is a classic played a house set recently went off :) got most of these on Vinyl wicked Selection Mate
👍😊
😂 I was speaking the words to Dominator last week in the lunch room. Colleagues from across the world were giving me funny looks.
Ha 😆
Yeah without knowing the tune, as a frame of reference, simply saying those lyrics out loud publicly has gotta sound a little ominous 😆
I remember shouting out "super sharp shooter shooting shots" in the garden messing about with my dad's air rifle 😂 He gave me a look like "eh ?"😅
@@gordonbennett3393 Confusion Confusion !!
Great video jake. The best years of rave & hardcore 😊
👊❤️
I started my raving in 1990 in Reading. It was under a huge railway bridge, must of been a thousand or more of us going crazy to these tracks. The police would pop by say "Ello" then pop off again. After a phew out popped the sweets again lmao. Those were amazing times, o feel were better than the legal warehouse raves. The vibe, atmosphere and energy that came with finding these "illegal" raves in the middle of nowhere or in an abandoned shop near cemetery junction with 50 others. In which there was a cabinet by the decks with a guy behind it selling loads of sweets on top lmao. Like I said those were amazing times
Seems mad now hey 😂
Things are a million miles different today.
@rave-vinyl-reminiscence it does but I still remember all the raves I went to. They still feel like I went last weekend
Well done and thank you for putting this together! It's always interesting to hear peoples stories and experiences with these tracks as they had first come out.
I first heard these via a local djs mixtape back in 1995. Being a 14 year old kid in a small West Texas town, I had only ever been exposed to country music, rock/grunge, and pop. The idea that music could sound like this was completely foreign and fascinating to me.
Needless to say, it set me on a lifelong journey of exploring all subgenres of electronic music. Beyond that, diving into the non-electronic genres, that served as influnces to those. Such as Dub, Jazz, and classical.
Nice mate...thanks for sharing 👊❤️
Really enjoyed that one Jake! I was always there with you Mate.What we all do one of them nights again!! Big love mate.. Brizey..xx
You were always there Brizey 👊
Don't think I went to many raves without you mate 👊❤️
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence every time 🕺🥴
I was only 12 in 1990, so was restricted to enjoying these tunes at home. Messiah, Smart Systems, House Crew etc. Some great compilations in that day too. Kaos Theory, Only For The Headstrong, Kickin Records -Champion Sound, even the Hit The Decks series was fun. Well, for a 12 year old anyway.
I started getting into rave at the end of '90 when I was 14. Up to the end of Up Tempo, you hit every track that converted me in '91. So many hoovers.
😆👊❤️
Good episode J, I had a listen after today’s recommendation🤩
Fantastic 😂😂 20 at that time, was also there😂😂😂
👊🥳
That was amazing! Thank you so much for unlocking so many memories for me. I was 18 in 90 and raved all the way through to 92. So many banging tunes....you've transported me back to those heady carefree days....Sterns Worthing, Storm Hastings Pier to name a couple...good times.
Only fly in my ointment was I had to be back on parade in Aldershot Monday morning!! It was my little secret.
Thanks again...
Ha 😄
We used to go to a do in Aldershot too as it goes.. Rhythm Station !!
Glad you enjoyed the vid mate 👊❤️
i was raving back then, think your bang on with the tunage fella
👊😎
Great vid. Brings back those memories! Zero B, a proper hands in the air classic. I also loved the original version of Injected with a poison from that era. Keep up the great work
Thanks man 👊❤️
Yeah that was a gooden too that tune
I remember getting tapes 86 - 87- 88. Pre 88 are missing gems. Nice one fella
👍😊
Spot on selection of tunes 😃. All the ones me and my mate bought and used to Dj with in his bedroom back in 91! Special times where every weekend we'd discover new records that would forever be part of our lives 🙌🏻
😊👊❤️
I kept thinking wheres cubic 22 and then finally.... Boom, Party Time! Best selection so far 🙏
😁 no way that wasn't going in 😎❤️
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence Timeless classic that always rocks a party. Top selection brother 👌

Wow what a journey great tunes and good stories...Energy Flash is such a good tune and just added Cubic 22 to my collection now that i know who it was by Thanks Jake Great mix
Great one to add to the family mate 😊👊
Really nice, love the format, inspiring and sincerely thanks for pointing out Lock Up, that is a beautiful tune that I haven't heard in years.
🙏❤️
This is awesome. The bit about coming home at breakfast 😂😂😂😂...so true!!
😊❤️
Detroit - New York - Netherlands - Belgium - Detroit - UK (Big up Choci) - UK/Canada - UK - Belgium > so many influences feed into UK Hardcore Jungle Techno from the early 90s. Great memories.
Good that you are back, I will enjoy this episode later, thanks Jake.
👊 nice one mate ❤️
Top Episode mate. Every Tune...dude. Knew what you were getting with early X.L releases didn't you? Loved that Hoover sound too. 👌
Thanks mate 👊❤️
And yeah, agree
You sum up the nostalgia perfectly, and as I’ve said before, have an amazing gift for putting in-transcribable feelings and music into such beautiful words.

Wow Jake..what an episode. Amazing tunes & when you begin to describe your personal memories & the emotions you felt, it brings back so many of my own & gets me thinking of all the great nights out with friends who are still in my life now. Hearing Zero B-Lock Up tripping off my nut, certainly set me off to wanting more & go out every week. We really were lucky to be there when times were so good & the respect everyone had for each other made it too. Only wish i had a time machine to go back to some of the best night's of my life. Although putting on some vinyl & hearing tunes, transports me back every time anyway 😎. Much respect to you mate, thanks for the channel & look forward the full mix dropping. 👊🏻
That's lovely feedback Andy cheers mate 👊❤️
Yeah that time machine would be golden hey
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence no worries Jake. Always look forward to your vlogs & what tunes you will dig out next. A time machine would be golden for sure but we are lucky that music brings back the memories & i always find it amazing how you hear tunes & know exactly when you heard them first.

@rave-vinyl-reminiscence 🕉☯️🕊😵💫
Nice1 Jake. Sounds like our 1st experience was at a very similar time. Was at Electrowerkz last week, and my mate said "Oi, that Jake from vinyl reminiscence is over there". Spent the next half hour looking for you just to say hello and show my appreciation for your videos. Couldn't find you, and then Ratty came on, and that was that !! Hopefully see you next time - and keep up the good work. Love the vids, and your enthusiasm for our music 🎶.
❤😉
Hello mate 👊
Ah shame we didn't catch up there...would've been nice to say hello.
Good day hey. Ratty packed that room out didn't he 😊
I'll be at Raindance later in the month...if you're there, come and have a chat 👊❤️
@rave-vinyl-reminiscence Yeah - what an atmosphere @5pm for Ratty. Superb! Unlikely to be at Raindance, but I will defo be in Camden in December for 🍊.
Hopefully see you there? Keep the vids coming, 💚 the analysis of a subject close to my heart. Nice1 👍
Not sure about December...
But yes mate, I have plenty more vids to come 😊👊
Thanks again ❤️
Some hardcore gems in there!!❤❤
😊❤️
My first nights were in Coventry, the early Amnesia nights at Sky Blue Connection. I'd been buying House and Techno for about 12 months as well as the hardcore hip hop that was big at the time. And then suddenly all nighters arrived less than 10 miles from where I lived. Fantastic nigjhts they were to. Meet up pub was the Tally Ho in the centre of Cov, and then it was join the traffic. First time I heard most the tracks played in this mix was on those nights
Thanks for sharing mate 👊
So good to be able to look back into your own mind and have these memories hey 🙏❤️
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence your descriptions of these tracks are exactly how I feel about them.
