I was a regular at the Hand and Spear. Went to Brooklands College which was behind the pub. Was at the same outdoor raves as you…they were run by a crew called The Fear Teachers. My favourite memories were the buckets coming round for spare change for petrol! And raving with the police wandering about. Special times…Energy Flash was THE tune. Thanks for the memories
Such great information Josh mate 👊 I'm trying to find out more info on The Fear Teachers...there's small references, but these times were so scarcely documented. I also remember the buckets now that you mention it.
@@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.
I live in longton stoke to this day & the famous home of shellys lazerdome. I was lucky enough to witness the birth of dj sasha on Fridays & then the amnesia take over on Saturday nights. These times aren't just precious it makes me cry sometimes because I believe we participated in the greatest youth movement since the 1960s. Every so often we would end up in the eclipse on a Friday or entropy which again was in longton stoke & sold out most Fridays! The reason I cry is because this once rave capital is one of the most deprived shit tips in England! What a time to be alive 19/20 & I just count my blessings I was there at that time. Now I'm just like you m8. I did a bit of djing in 94/95 & my sl2s & huge vinyl collection sit in my "dex" room as I call it! Me & my m8 pick a year & av a mix at least every other month & still go the odd rave or two that he'll be djing at the age of 52! Love your channel m8 keep going cause you could with the amount of genre's & range of music that's available to ya. Brilliant my friend thankyou!
Cheers for sharing mate...that's lovely 👊😊 I bet those nights at yours are quality. Talking of Sasha, I tracked down a copy of the Sasha & Digweed Renaissance CD the other month. My copy vanished years ago. That was a defining album of the time.
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. 🕊️👍✌️
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
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💯👍
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.
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.
@@danlane9917 Banger track! That song gets me so pumped up! Heard it plenty of times while knackered on disco biscuits, but it was my cut to slam beers to 😂
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 👌👌
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!
I was there but sometimes I wish I wasn’t! If you were there you’re getting old 😂. almost 53 now, my bones are creaking and I am going to funerals what seems like every other week. All jokes aside, great times were had. Keep up the good works.
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscenceBang on. It’s all about living life and the period your on this planet dictates what age you are and the music the fashion the substances etc you choose what direction to take. Everyone has to get older and for one I am happy to know I experienced this in my early teenage years and now we can look back with immense pride and respect for those who we’ve all lost by still living our lives and having these memories of wonderful moments in all our lives. Great nostalgic moments that will always live with me. So happy I had the chance to start off in 1990 & catch the end of the acid/house scene before it became (Raving)! Then the money men, gangsters huge promoters along with police and politicians got involved & our little secret pastime was exposed to the world and it did change massively compared to those early years. Respect Due. 🕊️🙌❤️
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 😁👊
I still have all R&S releases from 1 to 55. Great collection of tunes. I even went to Ghent a few times from the UK and bought some from local record shops , music man was it? and visited their offices. Saved me a bit of money not buying them as imports. Happy days.
Damn! The free party/rave scene back in the 90s was something special. I remember stumbling into my first free party with my mates one new years, wandering the streets in search of a good time coz none of us could afford the crazy prices clubs were charging! Ended up in a abandoned/disused school/community centre bringing the new year in with DJ Sets courtesy of the SmokeScreen Sound System. Such an unexpected random event lead to the most memorable night out ever!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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 🎵🎶
Haha!!! Oh mate!! You are making me tingle!! I started going out august 90' so just a little bit before yourself, YES!! YES!! ENERGY FLASH!! ALL OF WHAT YOU ARE PLAYING WICKED!!!! AND YEAH THE CAR CONVOYS!! WHIZZING MY TITS OFF!! THEN DROPPING A PROPER E! WHEN YOU GET THERE!! I DO NOT CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY, ECSTASY BACK THEN WAS JUST SO PURE AND LIFE CHANGING!!! ORIGINAL LOVE-DOVES,CLEAR-CAPS,NEW-YORKERS,CALLIES, TRIPPLE X'S, PINK SPECTRUMS,LOVE-HEARTS!!!! AHH! THANK YOU FOR THE SHOW MATE!! BIG-LOVE FROM BRISTOL!!!!
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.
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.
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!
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
Same as a lot on here… 54 and have some amazing images locked away in my memory when I hear these tunes…. The one I love and seem to have slipped through is “Rapino Bros with Reach to the Top”
i'm 48 and from the netherlands and i know, it's maybe all nostalgia but serious people... those early rave and house day were really, really special! wish i had an time machine 😂
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. ❤
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.
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 😊👍👊
Great memories pal! Best days of my life. Kicked off with Acid in 87 then moved to Hardcore in late '89 - left it all behind after 92. DJ'd all over the place, mostly down south. Hearing Vamp kick in at 14:28 - that was always the 2nd track I played - i used to stop the last tune playing by the last DJ by turning the deck off (its nerve wracking when you do it at the first few gigs as people initially thought something was wrong as the music was slowing to a stop), when it slowed down enough id start spinning it backwards, slowly then faster - then bringing my 1st tune in slowly on the crossfader (GTO - Pure) - which has such a perfect start . Then mixed Vamp into it - really kicked it up a gear. Great hearing so many memorable tunes. R&S records produced so many absolute bangers (Frank de Wulf's Magic Orchestra was on its own). See you chose Keep the Fire burning - both sides of that vinyl rocked. What about D-Shake Techno Trance?! although to be fair you could be here hours, there were so many floorfillers. I also always ended with the same tune - Kariya - Baby let me love you for tonight. The intro to that tune will always send shivers up my spine - even when I'm a proper old fart. Top One, Nice One, Get Sorted.
Great stuff mate ...thank you for sharing 🙏❤️ It's a great moment when you wind that last track down, and push off your first tune hey 😍 I love thinking about the energy I wanna set off with in a set. And as you said, a tune to end with can be just as important.
I was 21 when I first discovered the rave scene in the very early 90s. First time was Welly club in Hull. From there, a mates girlfriend introduced us to after dark, orbit Morley, back in the day before it became one of the country's top techno clubs. Believe it or not Bridlington leisure world hosted some of the best raves I've ever been to, and I've been to quite a few 😂 The social and economic times in the UK played a massive part in the explosion of rave and unfortunately I think there will never be another time like it. And that's not just me being a grumpy old 54 year old, no one will ever do it like we did it.,respect 😊
I think you're absolutely right mate...it was a snapshot in time...a brief happening that bubbled up and then burst. When you think about the billions of years the universe has been around...and will be still...how lucky are we to have been out and on it at just that one fraction of a moment 🙏😁❤️❤️
What a way to finish that set,one of my all time faves.... Cracking t shirt to, I'll be having one of those.... What a place that was...Still have my Sterns pound coin 😁
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 😍
This brings back some very good times in my life. I feel 89 was a transition from bad to good in a lot of peoples lives around the UK. Appreciate your time and effort.
Glad it brought up some good memories for you 😊❤️ Yeah something was on the horizon for sure...the energy has very much shifted globally since those days.
Yeah cheers Geoff..it's doing well and connecting with lots of people 🙏❤️. The Sterns episode, and all five of the 'Pick n Mix' episodes (91, 92, 93, 94 & 95) also take a trip down memory lane. But yeah, there'll be more to come 👊❤️
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! 😁
Ah mate 😁 cheers for sharing all that. I lived near Epsom for years and grew up in Chessington...so very local to you. That's excellent to hear that new experiences like this are being created 🙏 Feel very free to send over any of your tracks to my email by the way...if you ever fancy sharing 👊 ravevinylreminiscence@gmail.com
I will never get tired of Dominator! That song was absolutely HUGE in the West Coast of the United States rave scene in 92. I started to get my haircut like one of the dudes in Human Resource aka the Cesar haircut. 32 years later still my haircut 😂😂
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.
My all time favorite tune...which the DJ always did re-wind on was.....Gunman....187 Lockdown...the beginning was superb...then that BASS kicked in with snare drum....Mental 😎😎😎😎😎
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
Great story telling mate.. The scene here in australia wasn't as big but we were still getting the tunes.. I've still got some mad UK white labels, a tonne of R&S. I don't think I'll ever quit listening..Thanks for bringing a smile..
I'm from Adelaide in Australia. It's pretty rare for me to know almost every track from a youtubers favourites list, what an iconic selection. These tracks and the style of rave music in the very early 90's is so distinct and special. I was 12 years old, dancing for hours, completely at peace. I still listen to it all the time and it still makes me so happy.
@@liptap4127 That's a lovely way to describe it... 'dancing completely at peace'. This music contains the essence of a time when there was no ego involved..no attitude..people of all colours, all backgrounds, all dress styles, all dance styles...just feeling free and having fun 🙏❤️
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.
For me every track i love holds a different memory for each track. Ive recently got myself a DAW and have started making music like it was back in the day 🎶🎶🎶🇬🇧
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
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
I was lucky enough to be around at the start of the rave seen in New York during this time frame. You definitely picked out the perfect tracks to tell the story of a typical rave night. Over here the night would start with hardcore and transition into the darker R&S sound and of course being NY it would end with House. R&S was on fire then and those tracks would sound absolutely massive bouncing off the walls of the abandoned warehouses we danced the night away in.
Great video! Great tracks! I went to my first rave in 93. Met a group of organizers that night (or, next morning). Offered the service of my truck. They were having a party the next weekend and yes, could use a truck to get every couch from every thrift store in town. And that started my about 10 year journey as a rave promoter, and musician. We broke in to warehouses. Rented them legit. Had events in clubs. Events in caves. In forests. We had a crazy show we did.. I played music.. They did crazy stuff on stage. Other promoters would have us in for their parties, paying for travel and lodging and other things... I didn't pay to go out for over 10 years.. People paid to have me out! What the heck?!?!.. It was an amazing time!!! And man, these tracks! I think I have all these records :D. Good good great times!!!
(I'm listening to one of the stories about parties) Here, we didn't get outdoor parties until years later. In the early 90's it was all warehouses. Usually quite dirty, abandoned warehouses. We as promoters would clean them quite well. But, as ravers, we'd bring in blankets and candles. Things were pretty much like you'd find them at outdoor parties, w/ little blanket areas along the edges, people laying around. Then the DJ and dancing in the middle. Same experience w/ people coming up w/ soft things, candy, vapor rub, etc. Looking back on it as an adult.... such a fire hazard! Really amazing we didn't burn anything down. And in later years when laws changed and we had to get legitimate spaces, the fire inspector is someone we developed a close relationship with, heh..... We had a lawyer on-site at every event.. as well as off-duty police who we were paying as security.. who knew the other local police who would be on duty.
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence If you want to hear about a death related to fire I saw at a rave, and a few other horror stories, let me know. I had a long one typed, but decided maybe it's not appropriate. (Just a few times something really bad happened, out of many many events.. I guess it is the time of year for horror stories)
Cracking episode Jake, memories flooding back. Valbonnes, Maidenhead hotel rave back in the day. Then 92/3 Menace dos with Dr S Gachet, blinding. Big sounds in small towns😃 Thanks for the mind jog to the best times. Respect
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 👍👊❤️
Family Foundation - Express Yourself has to be pretty much the best song of a golden era. Shout out to Stu Allan Key 103 Manchester RIP Best of the Best. Blast from the Past Eclipse Coventry.
Amazing video. Tracks I remember from the late 80's early 90's (I got married in 92 and kinda finished with the scene, but the music from that era is part of my soul). Tricky Disco Johnny L, Hurt you so Rhythm Section, comin' on strong Some Justice, Micky Finn Acen, Close your eyes I could go on and on and on....
@rave-vinyl-reminiscence I am going to have to go back and take a good look. I had a massive vinyl collection in the past and converted it all to MP3. Then sold all the records and lost the files. Gutted. I would give my right arm for a digital collection again. Spotify has some, but not all....
I'm newly subscribed. I always loved rave music but in the early 90's I was a bit too young to go raving. But the good thing was lots of the tunes you are playing were sampled by the rave acts of the day that went mainstream. Me and friends went to our town centre after school and buy rave/club music on tape. It would be The Prodigy, Bizarre Inc, Xpansions, Altern8 etc, it was great. It all went Eurodance by 1996. Most of the Eurodance era was Lightweight but some killer tunes like Strike- U Sure Do which sampled Cubic-22 which I didn't know until I watched your video. I still have all my dance tapes.
Strings was a fookin Huge Tune here up here for us Northern Monkeys too. TH-cam algorithm actually doing some good for once in putting on your channel my dude :)
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 ❤🎵🎵🎵😀

I was a regular at the Hand and Spear. Went to Brooklands College which was behind the pub. Was at the same outdoor raves as you…they were run by a crew called The Fear Teachers. My favourite memories were the buckets coming round for spare change for petrol! And raving with the police wandering about. Special times…Energy Flash was THE tune. Thanks for the memories
Such great information Josh mate 👊
I'm trying to find out more info on The Fear Teachers...there's small references, but these times were so scarcely documented. I also remember the buckets now that you mention it.
88-89 summer of love my best memories mind you I’m 53 now!! ❤️🙏🏻
55 here and loved 87-89, the music seemed to evolve every 6 months.

Yeah so rapidly
Amazing period in Belgium. I was signed to R&S from 87 until the late 90’s. Energy Flash is my favourite techno track. Blew me away.
Hi David, what tunes did you do? if you don't mind me asking.
Such a label ❤
@@trapset1539 I did Spectrum and TZ as well as a lot of engineering. Also used my own name for my projects.

87 i was 13 back then and already into Acidhouse.
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. 🕊️👍✌️
…what’s wrong with these people…. Choooon
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

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💯👍
Cheers mate 😊👊
20 years of avin' it hard hey 🙌
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.
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.
Yeah that's a boomer 😎
My Sound was my favourite Beltram track, but Fuzz was/is a fkn MONSTER acid track!
Oh man, cubic 22 night in motion, I played that at a student house party in Shelton Stoke on trent in 1996, it went OFFFFFFF!

@@rave-vinyl-reminiscenceBang on. It’s all about living life and the period your on this planet dictates what age you are and the music the fashion the substances etc you choose what direction to take. Everyone has to get older and for one I am happy to know I experienced this in my early teenage years and now we can look back with immense pride and respect for those who we’ve all lost by still living our lives and having these memories of wonderful moments in all our lives. Great nostalgic moments that will always live with me. So happy I had the chance to start off in 1990 & catch the end of the acid/house scene before it became (Raving)! Then the money men, gangsters huge promoters along with police and politicians got involved & our little secret pastime was exposed to the world and it did change massively compared to those early years. Respect Due. 🕊️🙌❤️
@@Gavaldo just a big YES to all that my friend...yes 🙏❤️
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

@ Cheers .... still pacing myself! 😁
I still have all R&S releases from 1 to 55. Great collection of tunes. I even went to Ghent a few times from the UK and bought some from local record shops , music man was it? and visited their offices. Saved me a bit of money not buying them as imports. Happy days.

Damn! The free party/rave scene back in the 90s was something special. I remember stumbling into my first free party with my mates one new years, wandering the streets in search of a good time coz none of us could afford the crazy prices clubs were charging! Ended up in a abandoned/disused school/community centre bringing the new year in with DJ Sets courtesy of the SmokeScreen Sound System. Such an unexpected random event lead to the most memorable night out ever!!!!
Ah great mate, thanks for sharing. Oh to be so carefree again hey ❤️
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.
Yeah same as that mate 👊❤️
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.

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.
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 👊

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.
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..
Yeah it's sad...but we have some great music to remind us 🙏❤️
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence Hell yeah!
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!
@@5pr1nk57 ''Don't Waste My Time'' was always my favourite of his from back then. I'd have been about 10 when I discovered pirate radio too.
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 👊
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.

Great memories pal! Best days of my life. Kicked off with Acid in 87 then moved to Hardcore in late '89 - left it all behind after 92. DJ'd all over the place, mostly down south. Hearing Vamp kick in at 14:28 - that was always the 2nd track I played - i used to stop the last tune playing by the last DJ by turning the deck off (its nerve wracking when you do it at the first few gigs as people initially thought something was wrong as the music was slowing to a stop), when it slowed down enough id start spinning it backwards, slowly then faster - then bringing my 1st tune in slowly on the crossfader (GTO - Pure) - which has such a perfect start . Then mixed Vamp into it - really kicked it up a gear. Great hearing so many memorable tunes. R&S records produced so many absolute bangers (Frank de Wulf's Magic Orchestra was on its own). See you chose Keep the Fire burning - both sides of that vinyl rocked. What about D-Shake Techno Trance?! although to be fair you could be here hours, there were so many floorfillers. I also always ended with the same tune - Kariya - Baby let me love you for tonight. The intro to that tune will always send shivers up my spine - even when I'm a proper old fart. Top One, Nice One, Get Sorted.
Great stuff mate ...thank you for sharing 🙏❤️
It's a great moment when you wind that last track down, and push off your first tune hey 😍
I love thinking about the energy I wanna set off with in a set.
And as you said, a tune to end with can be just as important.
87 damn ! That was being played in 91 100% amazing track!
Your closing philosophy brought a lump to the throat. Beautiful vid. Awesome tunes. Looking forward to the whole mix. 😁 ♥️ 🎶 🎹 💊

@ 🫶🏼
I was 21 when I first discovered the rave scene in the very early 90s. First time was Welly club in Hull. From there, a mates girlfriend introduced us to after dark, orbit Morley, back in the day before it became one of the country's top techno clubs. Believe it or not Bridlington leisure world hosted some of the best raves I've ever been to, and I've been to quite a few 😂 The social and economic times in the UK played a massive part in the explosion of rave and unfortunately I think there will never be another time like it. And that's not just me being a grumpy old 54 year old, no one will ever do it like we did it.,respect 😊
I think you're absolutely right mate...it was a snapshot in time...a brief happening that bubbled up and then burst.
When you think about the billions of years the universe has been around...and will be still...how lucky are we to have been out and on it at just that one fraction of a moment 🙏😁❤️❤️

But yeah, there'll be more to come 👊❤️
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! 😁
Ah mate 😁 cheers for sharing all that.

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 🙏❤️
Only lasted for a short time I genuinely feel blessed that I was there

Great story telling mate.. The scene here in australia wasn't as big but we were still getting the tunes.. I've still got some mad UK white labels, a tonne of R&S. I don't think I'll ever quit listening..Thanks for bringing a smile..

Thanks for tuning in from the other side of Earth 😊 👊 ❤️
I'm from Adelaide in Australia. It's pretty rare for me to know almost every track from a youtubers favourites list, what an iconic selection. These tracks and the style of rave music in the very early 90's is so distinct and special. I was 12 years old, dancing for hours, completely at peace. I still listen to it all the time and it still makes me so happy.
@@liptap4127 That's a lovely way to describe it... 'dancing completely at peace'. This music contains the essence of a time when there was no ego involved..no attitude..people of all colours, all backgrounds, all dress styles, all dance styles...just feeling free and having fun 🙏❤️
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 👊❤️
For me every track i love holds a different memory for each track. Ive recently got myself a DAW and have started making music like it was back in the day 🎶🎶🎶🇬🇧

Hoping your well and life is treating you well Jake. Looking forward to the next instalment 🥳🕺
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
Yeah this two labels were epic 😎❤️
In reference to what you said also...I agree...I wouldn't swap my youth for any other generation's 🙏
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
I was lucky enough to be around at the start of the rave seen in New York during this time frame. You definitely picked out the perfect tracks to tell the story of a typical rave night. Over here the night would start with hardcore and transition into the darker R&S sound and of course being NY it would end with House. R&S was on fire then and those tracks would sound absolutely massive bouncing off the walls of the abandoned warehouses we danced the night away in.
Excellent stuff 😎❤️

Great video! Great tracks! I went to my first rave in 93. Met a group of organizers that night (or, next morning). Offered the service of my truck. They were having a party the next weekend and yes, could use a truck to get every couch from every thrift store in town. And that started my about 10 year journey as a rave promoter, and musician. We broke in to warehouses. Rented them legit. Had events in clubs. Events in caves. In forests. We had a crazy show we did.. I played music.. They did crazy stuff on stage. Other promoters would have us in for their parties, paying for travel and lodging and other things... I didn't pay to go out for over 10 years.. People paid to have me out! What the heck?!?!.. It was an amazing time!!! And man, these tracks! I think I have all these records :D. Good good great times!!!
(I'm listening to one of the stories about parties) Here, we didn't get outdoor parties until years later. In the early 90's it was all warehouses. Usually quite dirty, abandoned warehouses. We as promoters would clean them quite well. But, as ravers, we'd bring in blankets and candles. Things were pretty much like you'd find them at outdoor parties, w/ little blanket areas along the edges, people laying around. Then the DJ and dancing in the middle. Same experience w/ people coming up w/ soft things, candy, vapor rub, etc.
Looking back on it as an adult.... such a fire hazard! Really amazing we didn't burn anything down. And in later years when laws changed and we had to get legitimate spaces, the fire inspector is someone we developed a close relationship with, heh..... We had a lawyer on-site at every event.. as well as off-duty police who we were paying as security.. who knew the other local police who would be on duty.
What a great story 😁
Cheers for sharing that 👊
I often think that about all of us smoking down in the Sterns underground...
Hundreds of fags...petroleum based vapour rubs 😆
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence If you want to hear about a death related to fire I saw at a rave, and a few other horror stories, let me know. I had a long one typed, but decided maybe it's not appropriate. (Just a few times something really bad happened, out of many many events.. I guess it is the time of year for horror stories)
@iamnotpresent ooh crikey yeah...I bet you do have some stories.
Cracking episode Jake, memories flooding back.
Valbonnes, Maidenhead hotel rave back in the day. Then 92/3 Menace dos with Dr S Gachet, blinding. Big sounds in small towns😃
Thanks for the mind jog to the best times. Respect
Thanks mate 👊
Glad it rattled the memory cages 😁❤️
@
I saw you up rave story, was gonna say hello, then the tunes took over Ratty in effect 😃. Nice one fella, keep keep keep it on…😃
Ah yeah...good day at Rave Story hey 👊
I got to chat very briefly with Ratty before his set. Very nice humble guy.
I remember getting tapes 86 - 87- 88. Pre 88 are missing gems. Nice one fella
👍😊
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 😊👊
Family Foundation - Express Yourself has to be pretty much the best song of a golden era. Shout out to Stu Allan Key 103 Manchester RIP Best of the Best. Blast from the Past Eclipse Coventry.
@BudgieFan101 Agreed 💯 I still forget sometimes that Stu Allan is no longer with us...RIP 🕊
I didnt go to my first rave till 1999 but felt very connected here. Love your great story telling & awesome mixing !
Lovely mate 👊
And thank you ❤️
Amazing video. Tracks I remember from the late 80's early 90's (I got married in 92 and kinda finished with the scene, but the music from that era is part of my soul).
Tricky Disco
Johnny L, Hurt you so
Rhythm Section, comin' on strong
Some Justice, Micky Finn
Acen, Close your eyes
I could go on and on and on....
Glad you enjoyed it 👊
Some of the tracks you've mentioned there are featured in previous episodes 😎❤️
@rave-vinyl-reminiscence I am going to have to go back and take a good look. I had a massive vinyl collection in the past and converted it all to MP3. Then sold all the records and lost the files. Gutted. I would give my right arm for a digital collection again. Spotify has some, but not all....
Ah mate...I feel your pain ❤️
I'm newly subscribed. I always loved rave music but in the early 90's I was a bit too young to go raving. But the good thing was lots of the tunes you are playing were sampled by the rave acts of the day that went mainstream. Me and friends went to our town centre after school and buy rave/club music on tape. It would be The Prodigy, Bizarre Inc, Xpansions, Altern8 etc, it was great. It all went Eurodance by 1996. Most of the Eurodance era was Lightweight but some killer tunes like Strike- U Sure Do which sampled Cubic-22 which I didn't know until I watched your video. I still have all my dance tapes.
Welcome here to the channel ❤️
I never noticed that Cubic 22 sample in Strike- U Sure Do before 👊
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 🤣
