I love every doc/mini documentary about these years. I was 18 in 1988, and the rave years, 87 to 90 were absolutely immense. Driving around the M25 going to raves under bridges, in fields, forests, old warehouses,. I am so unbelievably happy I experienced this.
Dont you find yourself smiling every time you think about it ,i'm 55 im waiting for a hip replacement i keep thinking just one more night like we used to have then i can go to my grave happy.
Correction, Acid House didn't come via the DJ's who played in European holiday clubbing destinations. Those DJ's like Danny Rampling and Oakenfold helped build the scene but played mainly Balearic House. Acid House came via the Record Shops, Sound Systems and Pirate Radio. DJ's like Jazzy M, Kid Batchelor, Colin Faver, Colin Dale, to name a few were playing Garage, Deep House, Techno and Acid stuff before Shoom
80s and 90s was a time when everyone came together for one single purpose, to smile, dance and have a good time😀 2020 is the summer of separation, frustration, anger and hatred. 2021, we all need to come together again as one, drop all the differences we have and just go nuts and party instead of going nuts and smashing the place up.
Sad truth is it’s never going to be the same A LOT has changed. But we could learn lessons from them decades and like you said come together and have a good fucking time
@@robertnestamarley8061 I think what should be done next summer, is someone or a syndicate of people to put sound systems on the back of 40ft lorries, with lasers and a smoke machine, park them up in a few fields where you have people sitting having a few drinks with their mates, but overall, you have a couple of hundred people in the fields, take the cover of the side of the lorry and just turn the volume up. People will automatically become interested and dance. But more importantly, DON'T PLAY THE SAME MUSIC THAT'S PLAYED ON THE RADIO. Keep it fresh and original. If you see the police turn up, quickly mix in a CD that's a pre mixed Three hour mix and jump of the lorry, that way, they wouldn't know who started it. If it's successful, then spread word of mouth about up and coming events, also inform them of a Chanel or link to go to. I've found that if you have subscribers to your channel, created a code that changes each time but only your subscribers know and create a video telling people when the next event is and then delete the video. The aim will be to get members to get the notification before it's deleted, minimising the risk that information will get the attention of the police. It's an idea I think might need developing a little more, but I can see it being done, even if it only lasts a couple of years. I've started looking for music created by underdogs that deserve recognition and not only that, I've started producing tracks myself.

Loved the times I'm 46 now n still get rushes whenever a classic played.i didn't go out dancing and taking drugs to be anti establishment tho just to have a fukin good time meet great people.
You never think about it when youre living it, but now remembering, i just feel so lucky that i could live that era, it was about house music, dancing and feel the vibe, it seems like the most beautiful dream now.
Club Havana in Middlesbrough from mid 88 to 92 was a special place. The place was packed out every week, the 'E's were fantastic and the sweating crowd was at one! The 'Second Summer of Love' in 89 was an experience that any future dance scene has never been able to better or replicate!! I feel so blessed to have lived it all! I would go back in time to those days at the drop of an heartbeat, if I could get hold of a Time Machine.
@@SamEst1986 It was in late 88 that I started going to Havana. I got to know MC Lee and became friends with DJ Huey. When Huey packed in DJing, I bought loads of his records.
@ROBERT DEAN I went to all what you mention and have great memories. I have been attending the Havana reunions too. Remember the Banana themed nights at Havana? Also going to Back2Basics after Havana at times. Arena was special as fuck, I loved that place. Sitting downstairs for the warm up, with different themes in the room every week, then upstairs for the perfect night of banging tunes!!

@@gwood701 Yes, maybe so, but were they pure E ? I doubt it, because from 97 onwards there was a massive drop off in quality, and E's started to contain a lot of other shit which wasn't E.
Same in London, E was also very expensive, we were young and didn't have that much money, I used to buy LCD from a policeman in Golders Green, we used to take it with speed!
@@davelewis8270 It depended where you were really. If you lived in Milton Keynes it was swings and roundabouts. Up North (as in Real North, Rivers Tyne and Tees area) the countryside became a living Organic Entity, constantly opposed by Authorities and/or the odd angry farmer and yes, Margaret -Fucking- Thatcher

Don't allow yourself to become part of this fucked up victim culture. They're a sick bunch set on creating division with divisive identity politics. Good luck, stay free :)
@Upsidedown Toilet Blaming "Left Wing Identity Politics" for the current political state of this nation, when we have rags such as The Sun, The Daily Mail, and The Express drip feeding hatred and bile into the public psyche literally every single day, seems to be missing the mark a little. Granted, identity politics has its issues, but if you're wondering why this country is being radicalised further and further towards the right, surely the more obvious answer would be the constant stream of incredibly divisive rhetoric that we have been increasingly subjected to over the past couple of decades by some of our most powerful media outlets?
Kids dancing was always a threat, whether it's a 90's rave or a 50's rock & roll. Because bitter old farts forgot what fun is, no one is allowed to have fun.
My clubbing journey started in 1996 so the start of high school was the rave generation. But all of my music collection was the acid house and fantazia etc. I was lucky as in 96 there were still no phones, nobody judged, everyone was there for the same reason, music and love. Cream, MOS, Bagleys, Gatecrasher all great nights.
Thanks for the video. I love watching stuff like this. I always save these videos so I can share them. I was born in '76 but had older brothers and was therefore influenced by them musically. Before I was 10 I was listening to Electro (Early Hip Hop) and practising Graffiti. My closest brother went to Ibiza in the 80's and wouldn't stop talking about it. I wasn't influenced much by Acid House, the only time it was heard in South East England was on the radio (and occasionally MTV in the late 80's). Luckily in 1990 a few 'well off' guys hired the local 'theatre' and started holding over 21 'Raves'. I was 14 but managed to get in. I remember clearly that the music was a mixture of house, acid, chart and a few other genres, Jumping Jack Frost playing Snap - The Power is still a firm memory. Into 1991 and the Rave scene really kicked off, especially from the summer onwards. Suddenly there were 2 raves a month within 20 miles of each other, and World Dance (at Lydd Airport) also joined the rostrum. Tape packs were being shared from places like The Eclipse (later to change to The Edge) further up the country, DJ's like Carl Cox, Slipmatt, Stu Allen, and others sounds being heard nationwide. Walkmans (or cheaper alternatives) were glued to us. I used to sit in class at school with the earphoe wire running up my arm under my shirt, my hand on my ear, so it looked like i was resting my head on one hand, but secretly i was having a rave in my head, reliving every moment from that tape as if I was there. the scene progressed, then split (Jungle v Hardcore), many Djs not sure which way to go. Some sitting on the fence, so their sets were a mixture. Then it really seemed to split and Junge was properly born. Since then it has natural progressed into D&B. I learnt to DJ in 1994 and by 1999 I was a regular on Kool FM, Londons premiere Jungle/DnB Pirate Radio Station. Since then ive seen DnB adapt, change, metamorphosise and become what it is today, a genre that the younger generation are turning to in the thousands. We currently have 3 or 4 tunes in the Pop Charts and young people are fillig up arenas again...but this time theres no hassle from the council, police or media. My point being that Acid House was so influential that it branched out and its descendants (especially DnB) are thriving!! Theres not the same vibe as in the 80/90s but its still an escape from reality that younger people seem to need.
Brother, thank you so much for these stories. It's the small details that make the hair on my skin prickle, people remembering the ways people used to copy tapes, how we'd all copy EVERYTHING from each other, the tried-and-tested "Headphone wire up the sleeve" trick for while you're in school, ahhhhh
Ban phones from modern raves. Not only will this eliminate embarrassing gurn pics finding their way onto Faceback, secondly, people will enjoy their time more without the multiple distractions a phone causes.
This is so true. Could not see Swedish house or Eric Prydz at Creamfielsbecause everyone’s holding a phone, not really enjoying it because not in the moment and living through a phone.
It's not really a fault of phones per se, rather we live in a time where you don't go somewhere to enjoy the experience but to post pics/vids on social media that you were there. You don't share experiences with people around you anymore, you share hashtags on the internet instead.
So true not just with raves but i was at a concert a few years back and a woman standing next to me spent the whole gig videoing it on her phone. The point is she watched the entire gig through a phone screen instead of through her eyes. She may as well have just stayed home and watched it on TV. Same with raves people are missing the magic of the moment just to post stuff on social media later. Its crazy.
Great point. We were not connected to the entire world, only to ourselves and those around us. I think I will try to spend more time without a phone, restore some balance.
I became a Breaker in the 80s in North London at the age of 11 courtesy of the Movie's Beatstreet , Breakdance AKA Ozone and Turbo ! Then came the show Soultrain on channel 4 which had the best Soul dance music that blew my mind so after that I was starting to hear Streetsounds Electro on the pirate radio stations in London playing Captain Rock , Itchiban Scratch etc ! So then came along the 87- 88-89 house music on the pirate radio stations in London playing all the classics of what we now still play to this day plus the fashion you wore was usually C17, CHIPIE , CIAO, NAF NAF , TON SUR TON ETC . So for me I would say the 80s had it all as it really set it all up for the 90s to be what the 90s became ?
Watched all you episodes mate, well done. Not sure how old you are but spot on through the scenes (which I was there) Defo a job in documentaries if not doing already. Top draw.
Back then it didn't matter where you were from. It was where you were at that counted. Age, race, gender, religion..... all of it.... it didn't matter. Non of it. Happiest of times
The life and times of an original bedroom Raver Part 1: (A crap and most likely boring account of an amazing life) As a relatively young fan of all of this being a child of the 80's (I was born in 1978) I developed a serious love for contemporary pop music at a ludicrously young age, falling in love with the sort of 80's guff that should already have anyone reading this rightly questioning my authenticity - Ah ha, Toto, Pet Shop Boys just to give a general flavour, the fact that I was only 5 as I fell in love with such sounds offers no defence as I find the music just as amazing today. For my 6th B'day I received my first 'Now' compilation (Vol. 4) starting a tradition that would continue throughout the 80's for every B'day and Christmas (I have had an extremely lucky and blessed life, kicked off by the most amazing childhood). By 1987 / 88 however I found myself becoming particularly drawn to certain tracks on the Now comps, such as Big Fun, S - Express Theme to name just 2, while also discovering Pacific State, a track which I still would cite as the greatest ever in one of those 'forced to pick with gun to head situations'. The original media hysteria while memorable, still did not compute in so far as its connection to the music I was now listening to. But as I entered secondary school at the end of the decade I found myself finally being introduced to the ins and outs of the Rave scene by my cousin, who being 4 years older than me was already an active participant. Being labelled the pathetic weirdo at school by the bullies during the first couple of years, I had nothing to lose by identifying myself as a raver, unpopular as it was among my peers but by my 3rd Year in 1991 I was obsessed, plastering my bedroom walls with flyers while dividing my money between the live tape packs and videos now being released and my second, compatible obsession, my Amiga 500 (the best computer I ever owned). Although I was too young to have gone out during the scenes inception, I soon discovered the profound joy of complementing the music with drugs, weed of course being the first example at the age of 15 along with the odd acid here and there, but with 1994 and my 16th B'day on the horizon (allowing me access to our student union and the obligatory fake NUS card) it would not be long before I had the chance to put my feet alongside my mouth (or, probably more accurately, my foot in my mouth). To be continued once I have watched Part 2... big love to the Quest / Pimp Wolverhampton dancers, Dreamscape, Helter Skelter, Clockwork Orange, Atomic Jam, Passion & Godskitchen people. Live, love, life , dance \o/
It was FUCKING BIBLICAL.... Just woooooshhh. At the time it felt as if it came from nowhere, thick & fast.....Just listen to the end tune on here......Full of LOVE...... Sadly i believe jungle took it to the dark & violent side, from what i witnessed. .. But, i loved every minute of the vibes. I still do...

Jack your body was number one before Shoom started. House music was mainstream in the UK from 1985.
Rampling played whatever Alfredo played and that included loads Chicago House including Acid, he just didn't play exclusively Acid.
The hac was playing house in 86 .. fact
80s and 90s was a time when everyone came together for one single purpose, to smile, dance and have a good time😀

Same with raves people are missing the magic of the moment just to post stuff on social media later. Its crazy.
Clubs in Berlin just put stickers over the cameras on your phone and kick you out if you take them off and start filming... helps the vibe a LOT.
Love for Aciiiiiiiiid House.
*there was no phones, just music* is what I miss the most :-(
Magnificient times. Epic emotions.
The TB303 had its knobs turned
Comment section says it all: one love❤️❤️❤️
Why am I only now seeing this video!?! AWESOME
Because you have just seen it
@@MegaCozzy lol true that
2020 may be the new catalyst that sparks new energy and pushes freedom and equality for today’s generations
Crazy seeing Mr c (Richard) from the shamen talking about someone climbing the dranepipes to get in a club
No phones..... I forget how much that changes everything
Great point. We were not connected to the entire world, only to ourselves and those around us. I think I will try to spend more time without a phone, restore some balance.
Brings back some great memories was at allot off those parties. Thanks for posting only just seen it :)
I'm from Canada I remember dancing all night 4-5 times a week. The absolute best times!
The best times 💕💕💕
Great documentary
I'm 47, and absolutely loved those days. My drug of choice was lsd though, i used to love it!
It's still good ;)
Es
I became a Breaker in the 80s in North London at the age of 11 courtesy of the Movie's Beatstreet , Breakdance AKA Ozone and Turbo ! Then came the show Soultrain on channel 4 which had the best Soul dance music that blew my mind so after that I was starting to hear Streetsounds Electro on the pirate radio stations in London playing Captain Rock , Itchiban Scratch etc ! So then came along the 87- 88-89 house music on the pirate radio stations in London playing all the classics of what we now still play to this day plus the fashion you wore was usually C17, CHIPIE , CIAO, NAF NAF , TON SUR TON ETC . So for me I would say the 80s had it all as it really set it all up for the 90s to be what the 90s became ?
soul train was already on tv a decade earlier
umm didn't acid house start in Chicago, with phuture ,armanado ,and many more ,then later go to London

Blake Baxter - Get Layed from 1987
Black American gifted the world with so much music and cultural innovations.
Back then it didn't matter where you were from. It was where you were at that counted.
Age, race, gender, religion..... all of it.... it didn't matter. Non of it.
Happiest of times
Ecstasy, first started at the Stark club in Dallas, Texas 1985 and then spread to the East and West Coast of America then took hold of the UK
Chicago is a place jackin house came from,also funk from 70s..I love this music, mum n dad would cut shapes lol I followed
The life and times of an original bedroom Raver Part 1: (A crap and most likely boring account of an amazing life)
As a relatively young fan of all of this being a child of the 80's (I was born in 1978) I developed a serious love for contemporary pop music at a ludicrously young age, falling in love with the sort of 80's guff that should already have anyone reading this rightly questioning my authenticity - Ah ha, Toto, Pet Shop Boys just to give a general flavour, the fact that I was only 5 as I fell in love with such sounds offers no defence as I find the music just as amazing today. For my 6th B'day I received my first 'Now' compilation (Vol. 4) starting a tradition that would continue throughout the 80's for every B'day and Christmas (I have had an extremely lucky and blessed life, kicked off by the most amazing childhood).
By 1987 / 88 however I found myself becoming particularly drawn to certain tracks on the Now comps, such as Big Fun, S - Express Theme to name just 2, while also discovering Pacific State, a track which I still would cite as the greatest ever in one of those 'forced to pick with gun to head situations'. The original media hysteria while memorable, still did not compute in so far as its connection to the music I was now listening to. But as I entered secondary school at the end of the decade I found myself finally being introduced to the ins and outs of the Rave scene by my cousin, who being 4 years older than me was already an active participant. Being labelled the pathetic weirdo at school by the bullies during the first couple of years, I had nothing to lose by identifying myself as a raver, unpopular as it was among my peers but by my 3rd Year in 1991 I was obsessed, plastering my bedroom walls with flyers while dividing my money between the live tape packs and videos now being released and my second, compatible obsession, my Amiga 500 (the best computer I ever owned).
Although I was too young to have gone out during the scenes inception, I soon discovered the profound joy of complementing the music with drugs, weed of course being the first example at the age of 15 along with the odd acid here and there, but with 1994 and my 16th B'day on the horizon (allowing me access to our student union and the obligatory fake NUS card) it would not be long before I had the chance to put my feet alongside my mouth (or, probably more accurately, my foot in my mouth).
To be continued once I have watched Part 2... big love to the Quest / Pimp Wolverhampton dancers, Dreamscape, Helter Skelter, Clockwork Orange, Atomic Jam, Passion & Godskitchen people. Live, love, life , dance \o/
Can we go back to no phones.
Went mental when he said this is jungle can't wait to watch the next one
You can hear how acid house progressed into deep house, and rave
Never had any grief to be honest. Good times :-)
