  • In 1989, Melbourne’s rave scene exploded. Far away from what was happening in the UK and US, the city’s interpretation was unique. In this THUMP Special, we hear firsthand accounts from some of the main players involved in Melbourne’s biggest parties and venues of the 90s (Biology, Global Village Every Picture Tells A Story, M.U.D.). With all original footage and music from 1990-1999, you’ll be wishing you had a time machine.

    I am so appreciative of growing up through the 90s it was brilliant....some people go through their whole lives without feeling the unity we felt....it shaped me and made me gentle towards all people which sometimes is used against me.

      Letting people harm you isn't gentle. Thats sort of passive aggressive to yourself. I bet that aggression seeps out to others when you think it doesn't. Maybe thats what you're experiencing. Your own aggression subconsciously picked up by others interacting with you.

    Started at the Tunnel (Gold Coast) .1990. It was all acid then, then 91 E's. Did that blow people away! Flew to Amsterdam in 94 and OMG it was 1000X more insane! Then returned to finish the 90s in Melbourne which had some of the best recovery clubs ever. That decade truly memorable..

    Yep i'd definitely love to go back in time to be here for this. I'm not gonna say its better or worse nowadays, but what it was back then sure looked pretty special. This was the time my whole family born and raised in melb where all still there mostly living together. My older brothers were raving on weekends and would come back home still going and i was just a kid lol, one of them who's now turning 40 gave me his old school phat pants from the 90's when i was just getting into raving around 2007, but there wasn't many events worthy of them in my opinion because i'd moved to brisbane by the time i was 'of age' and the raves up there where all a genre of music called 'happy hardcore' and 'gabba' and just plain 'hardcore' which to be honest sounded like pure meth in my opinion because i grew up on 'good' dance music in melb with underground radio and demo CD's from my bro's rave nights and movies like Groove, Human Traffic and Kevin & Perry Go Large and I couldn't wait for my time!, but these guys raving in brissy where all metal heads and punks, combined with the huge humidity and heat in these confined run down places made it all kinda shit in terms of 'raves'. Still a great experience I wouldn't take back, but I knew it was nothing compared to what my brothers had.
    At the same time Family Nightclub Fortitude Valley Bris were hosting some epic artists and their venue was tip top, along with that so where the pills for a while so that became like a rave every Friday night for my group when the trance lineups would play, people would wear rave candy, phat pants and be hugging everyone etc. It was beautiful, but it was still just a club meaning lots of rules, albeit fairly relaxed to todays club standards. We'd be munted and dancing like animals (we all shuffled haha), cuddling like crazy, sinking into fury walls and drinking heaps of water lol doesn't sound all that crazy but a lot of this stuff would have you targeted for eviction by security by todays standards.
    I can actually feel the energy around these 90's melbourne raves by the association to my older brothers, i feel connected to the air and the music and culture. Time machine PLLLEASE.
    Now i DJ, i make music, i study music and culture around the scene, I attend outdoor bush parties twice a year and attend my own local clubs here in Byron Bay to encourage the electronic music scene. I've chosen to live here for the past 5yrs as a way to connect to something like the energy we have at doofs and raves - a feeling of community.
    Electronic Music has come so far!

    I grew up in L.A. in the 80's. As a young adult, I used to attend these secret events just like this. The edm scene started blowing up in the late 90's and by the 2000s it was global and very commercial. However, the underground scene never went away and I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and I found myself deeply involved in a wave of underground dance parties that lasted from 2009 until 2019 in this one little corner of Los Angeles called Culver City. It's a very square sort of place for this to happen. Yet somehow we managed to have 3 different warehouses, each with its own club throwing some events that were legend. It was the best time of my life. If you ever went to Area33 or Purple or my personal favorite, Mission Control, then you got to experience a moment in time that has now faded away for too many reasons to list. There are DJs and Visual Artists and Performers and Technicians that are working at the biggest Raves and Festivals in the world. They cut thier teeth and developed their craft inside my home. Bless them all. I knew them when, and I'm stoked for them now. Our mission was to be a springboard for talented people to become masters of the scene. It was EDM dance party culture at its best. We did it the same way these guys did it. We got incredibly talented people into a large space, then pooled our ideas and got very creative and it worked. It was special.
    There were a few times that I can remember thinking, "Right now, this is the coolest place on planet Earth and there is nowhere else that I'd rather be." So much fun! I truly enjoyed this documentary. Thank you.
    Love, Nibz

      All hard drug users end up with mental problems now matter where they're from or what they do. In fact most already have severe mental issues, its why 90% of them turn to drugs in the first place. This is from my own personal experience and the experiences of a lot of friends over the years. The Raves didn't have much to do with that except maybe being one extra place they could find the drugs

      Unfortunately, the rave scene in Melbourne is virtually non existent now. There are still rave events here and there, and there are psychedelic/psytrance parties.. But the rave scene where acid/hard trance etc was born is essentially dead. It's such a shame. I feel really privileged to have experienced the tail end of it, when people and parties were still very fluoro and the drugs were great.
      I hope you get to experience a proper rave. The old hats come out of the woodwork and throw an event every now and then. But covid has killed most lasting remnants and events now.

    I was there. From about 95' onwards. I frequented a lot of day clubs/ after parties in Melbourne like Strawberry Sundays. I started off in the rave scene completely drug free. I just wanted to dance. Unfortunately towards the year 2000, I started taking pingers. Only ever half or a quarter. They were full of smack and you'd be giving your jaw a huge workout. I think I preferred the rave scene more when I was sober. It was so much fun. We went to so many festivals where you went to enjoy the DJ's. Not like festivals today. We would get dressed up in wigs and so much glitter. Bindi's on your face. Huge fly glasses and wide leg track pants and glow in the dark sneakers. I had a group of friends who were so amazing. They were so much fun. I now see why they were so much fun....... they were all on drugs. HAHA!! Some of them were Aussie celebrities, so we would get into all the clubs for free and the drugs were free and so were the drinks most of the time. I found hanging out with these people completely wonderful but so overwhelming. We had a friend group of about 20 people. I am no longer in contact with any of them because I moved away from Melbourne. But these were the best days of my life.

    I have a love/hate relationship with all of this. I LOVED the 80's and was eclectic before it became de rigueur, and a key aspect of that was loving the broad spectrum of Dance Music. I heard House before most people in Melbourne, but was not overly impressed by it. I HATE it that House just DOMINATED everything after 1988! However, one could not avoid any of this as we headed on into the 90's. So, I have some key experience with this, but never felt a 'part' of it.

      @@stevozrepto5558 Which means SO MUCH?! Which means just about, everything?! Which you, "wasn't into"?! There's no such thing as "Pre-House" either. There's; maybe, Proto-House. Records such as Klein & MBO's 'Dirty Talk'. However, these fantastic records were already made and were part of a broad and eclectic Dance/Music scene.
      What House/Techno/Rave became/are is the sound of everything being hammered out to the endless 4/4 beat.
      The terrific irony is that; at the very least beginning with the 'Big Beat' sound from 1994/5 on, so many artists, DJ's and people in general have been going back to draw upon all of those rich and abundant sounds and scenes that were happening "pre-House", and which you "wasn't into".
