1.) That UK Sound - Acid House 

Any other non-Brits endlessly captivated by this moment in history?

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.

I'm 52 now but id still drop one, wicked times.

How has my generation gone from this to Brexit and Boris Johnson...

I've created a Spotify playlist with all tracks from this series in order: open.spotify.com/playlist/4HKiyP1pjbVj5Z9PuKZw0S?si=OGG7o95KQPueTXnrAUpWGQ

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.

This is my generation right here, I miss those days much simpler times!😁💜✌️

32 years later and this music still moves me....great days.

We did have a really good time ❤️☮️😁

Geek Alert:- Happy Mondays "Wrote For Luck" video at 7.36 mins was NOT filmed at the Haci but at Legends club. What a club, also along with The Boardwalk. ✌️

Makes me wish I was born in 1969 instead of 1989 to witness a fun careless time when people properly bonded.

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.

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.

Amazing times 🤩 will never be repeated the last of the analogue generation otherwise known as the zippys 🤪 raved from 89-98 favourite era was bass bleeps and breaks 90-91 🕊 Grew up as a Hardcore Hackney youth and experienced it all 😎 lost but not forgotten 👊

Thanks for the mention In the credits dude . Great stuff. Love it. Love that you also mention tower block radio and the snow man . I would also like to mention Douglas Ironside who saved the footage from hac on that mental night of the hit man and her ... Such a bad portrait of such an amazing place to be at that time .. I wouldn change a single thing .. and oh my God, thank you so dearly for staying open till 6 am for getting chicken rice pea and dumplings.. Salmon Taxis

many thanks for the mention (9:21)

In the east midlands, E was not that easy to get hold of in 1987-88 and we used to party for days on speed and acid tabs. I didn't even have proper mdma until 1989, but when I did ....... wow...

I wish I could’ve been part of these wonderful moments in time...Fantastic video!

How have these videos not got more views, there so good watched them all a few times now

2020 may be the new catalyst that sparks new energy and pushes freedom and equality for today’s generations

Very concise yet covers a lot. You need to do this for a living g.

The world is due for another summer of love. Now because of the internet it could be a world wide phenomenon.

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.

Incredible video, it is crazy to see how our music has evolved over the years.

*there was no phones, just music* is what I miss the most :-(

Comment section says it all: one love❤️❤️❤️

Love these doc's highlighting the history of OUR subculture

4:07 - if you know, you know. The original love doves. Its amazing something so small could have such an impact on a whole generation.

The real reason was love and possible dimensions. We will be rememberd, 🌱💨🐢🌞 dove's delights

BC kids dancing in a field to loud music is such a threat ZAP club was my haunt...RIP.

Crazy seeing Mr c (Richard) from the shamen talking about someone climbing the dranepipes to get in a club

ecstasy is the best substance on the planet

Happy days man...the drugs were bang on as well 😳😳

Nothing has changed the UK is still a depressing place to live, and the propaganda machine still rolls on today just like it did back then.

Love how this guy uploaded this video 3 years ago but still looks back at the comments to like them :)

As a 17 year old in 88 and seeing that Acciieeed on the telly I was going ' that looks interesting ' so my inquistivness got the better of me .

Hugs to the World. 1st Raved in London in 1990, My last Jan 2020 in another part of the world.

This was wicked , SO MANY GOODTIMES ! One of the best times of my life 88-89

I was 20 in 1988. Perfect timing Mum :)

I'm 47, and absolutely loved those days. My drug of choice was lsd though, i used to love it!

Can we go back to no phones.

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.

Is it still illegal to shout ACIIID and wear a smiley T-shirt in public ?

umm didn't acid house start in Chicago, with phuture ,armanado ,and many more ,then later go to London

48 still having it x

The powers that be don’t want the barriers broken down as it does not suit there agenda

Tony Wilson... legend..

purely true . london even with the iron lady ?people were certainly optimistic, friendly, and without the prejudices.and not with the ignorance expressed in music today.

The TB303 had its knobs turned

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.

Anyone have a track ID for 3:52?

Fantastic documentaries on this channel. Deserve much, much more views.

Rave as it was known blew everything away. That early scene has never been equaled.

it really was the most amazing few years...

why so little views?! great quaity documentary well done guys!

what's the track at 3:55?

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/

Thanks for the video, but what is the track around 4:00?

Troll, Sound Shaft, London WC2 1990

Good doc... we'll pass on kind comments to Wayne... ;)

When people actually went out DANCING!

I remember being on the beach in Ibiza in 94 ......... Holy moly did I enjoy 96-99 Fuk me !!!😎😎😎😎😎😎🙃

49 years old now and i still look back on these days as some of my best times.

No phones..... I forget how much that changes everything

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

🙂🙃😉👆🏻👆🏽🗣 HouSE Bearing UK

Would i do it all over again...100% i would, now whens that Time Machine coming out :-)

Need to know which song plays just before the word Ecstasy pops up on screen💊👌🙂😇

You can hear how acid house progressed into deep house, and rave

"to tackle the inflation would lead to unemployment" - I'm not expecting you to know economics but please understand that it was a choice and there's no single way of tackling inflation.

I see the Prestatyn 4 Footage being used here! was amazing weekend ! 😀🥰🤪

Subscribed, love this series. What other ways can we help the channel out?

What’s the track at 5:35 please

This Mr Presedent is a remarkable record. A far better record than....

Good video, mate, well done. Although you have jumped quite a bit from the end of acid right to jungle. IMO the timeline should be something like this (in a nutshell): 1. Balearic beat '87-'88 (Amnesia, The Project, Shoom, Future, Hedonism etc) mixture of pop, euro-disco, house, Detroit techno, latin, anything that people could dance to that was uplifting 2. Acid House '88 (Spectrum, Trip, RiP, Hacienda etc) Still balearic tunes and Chicago house but with more 303-driven acid, plus new sample-heavy British house productions. 3. House (M25 rave/acid house parties era) '89 (Sunrise, Energy, Biology, Genesis etc) - loads of balearic stuff still played at these but predominantly Chicago house, Belgian New Beat, Detroit techno and acid etc. 4. Back into the clubs up north - House & techno '90 , beats get a bit faster with more european techno coming in, plus more breaks being played at clubs like Rage. Blackburn rave scene. 5. Rave '91 (Breakbeat, Hardcore) Beats really getting quite a bit faster with a mixture of House, Techno, New Beat, European techno and more and more breaks. BPMs hitting about 140. By the end of the year hardcore is firmly established as a new sound of rave. 6. Jungle Techno '92 This is roughly when jungle started to become something new, but it was called jungle techno initially before becoming simply 'jungle' in or around late '93 7. Jungle '94

It looks like great fun and all, but can any of you remember what those venues smelled like?

Why am I only now seeing this video!?! AWESOME

the youth of the UK are still lost and now being replaced

"degenerate headlines to sell newspapers" - BBC1

Whats the song at 3:40 I've been trying to find out what it is for ages please could somebody tell me??

Fuck the system! Rave on for life!

Never had any grief to be honest. Good times :-)

The best times 💕💕💕

Real interesting man. Looking forward to the next one!

Hi Guys, what is the Song called starting at 3:52?

5:31 RUN DMC🙂

89 I sold a terraced house, 7k profit, bought a little sailing boat and fucked off around the coasts busking with a saxoophone, completely missed acid house. 30 years later I play electronic music, late starter.

what is the song at 3:58?

Tony Wilson = LEGEND RESPECT

As a 31 year old American, I don't think Brits realize just how vastly different the music landscapes were. You guys had full electronic music and DJ sets on FM radio. There was absolutely ZERO calling for electronic music here. 99 percent of the people you spoke to referred to all electronics as "Techno" and all wondered why it didn't have words or why it's so repetitive. Electronic music of any kind was largely made fun of and looked upon as VERY nerdy. No radios played any genres, unless there was some universal hit like Eiffel 65's "I'm Blue" or something to make an appearance on a pop station. It was so, SO very much more niche. It actually makes me salty, man. And I've never known why in the hell electro across the board was always more popular in Europe, and always COMING OUT OF Europe. Different cultures, different influences. Hair Metal and Grunge definitely took the focus of most here in the states people at the time. Considering myself a "tekker" if you will, I feel like I've had to play catch up for the last 20 years. "A time that many wish they could have experienced," abso-fucking-lutely

..joe blogg tops,flares andcurtain hair cuts...Shoom and then Ibiza's club nitelife/Ku ..happy days🙂

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...

Track id 4:00 ? Plzz niiiceee groove

yes yes yes peeps x

Worked all week .... out friday night. If enough money out saturday night. Sunday you chilled and started it all over again on Monday.... '89-'93 pretty much in a nutshell
