When I think of all we did and how many people we met it just makes me want to cry. I think I speak for everyone when I say if we could have just one more night. I personally would not waste one minute of it. I'd just like to say Thank you to all of you here watching and reading this because it was you that made the 90s a special time for us all. 😎
Well if you all never voted that twat tony fucking Blair in 1997 and listen to the bullshit off the TV and kept the the tories in power this country would be nice still.
I love it. We rocked it so hard one night the floor caved in at a tiny party in Southside Chicago in an abandoned loft. In fact when Paul Johnson started his set with “Sunshine People” by Cheek the place went absolutely insane.
Damn straight... and we probably were happier and with better spirits. I remember people getting others water, hanging out with just about anyone interesting.... it was good times. 89-94
@@JuergenGDB Absolutely remember asking for "4 waters mate at the bar". There were no pretentious people and it was just simple, you went for the music!
This was one messy night. I spent most of it getting it on with some random bird, who is now my wife. Thanks fantazia. Now I've got kids & had to grow up etc. yawn.
Hold tight, no crew ever lost, just out on a mission is what l reckon, on the other side, setting up a system, waiting for the rest of us to arrive and get it kickin... all crew PLUR
Days when strangers were instant friends. Mine was yours and yours was mine. A sip of of water from a stranger was the true meaning of “as one”. Having your own dance space and looking at those besides you and smiling your face off. Shouting YEEEEEEEEES when your favourite track came on and dancing like it was the last track of the night. No alcohol, no fights, just smiles, water and no idea we were part of something very special that would shape the future of music and the dance scene. We made the scene youngsters think they’ve created today. Peace, love & unity.
I desperately miss these times. The people, the music, the drugs, the atmosphere.... Loved up, doved up, because it's not where you're from, it's where you're at!
Omg!!!! Can't believe Im just now seeing this! What I would do for for one more night of youth with a pocketful of white doves, glow sticks , a Vicks inhaler, and a sick mix... Miss myself nights (days) dancing with my girlies to swirvin' to that "Orlando Breaks" sound. The BEST techno style EVER!
From one B Clarke to another , i never did the drugs , i was lucky enough to have ADHD so "tuneidge" was my drug that kept me jumping till dawn ! great memories for my worn out feet lol
This was one of the best nights of my life. I went to all the Donno raves. We had such fun. No mobiles, no facebook, just 'what you had, where you from?' Met people I still see today. The first 5 years of the rave scene were incredible - all those massive parties all over the place. Big up DIY, Smokescreen and Spiral Tribe - you know what you did !! Once a raver, always a raver. Smiling to myself...
The thing is, I never see anyone with their phones out at raves, still to this day. I always see people make this note, but just can't relate in my personal experience of the last 15 years
That bastard fairground ride shown at the start. That yellow cnt that had the separate cages. My pal thought it would be a right laugh to go in that after a bottle of poppers and 2 roobarb n custard. I never recovered. I thought my brain was coming out my arse.
To be fair, if you just look a bit deeper than surface level, you might find you're ..not wrong in the sense that this music IS the bees knees, but there's actually a WHOLE LOT that's been added to the library of seriously great music, and of these styles , too. But not limited to
But this era, well that's another thing altogether, the rave scene hasn't been replicated in quite the same way, although, actually, the outdoor parties and festivals of the last 15 years are still amazing. I guess depending on where y9u are/go in the world
There are these large plastic discs you can buy that were made at the time. You can use a device, preferably two of them called "Technics 1210” to play the music contained on the discs. You also don't ever need to listen to "today's" music. I never do. 😂😂
It's not really. I've stayed in the scene. Go and check out a Finger Lickin night. The choons are fkin awesome.the latest Break beat is on another level. Just got back from one this morning. BETWEEN THE BRIDGES. Blinding crowd (all in their 40s and 50s with a few next gen ravers). Same vibe as 92 but even more respect as they're all old ravers. One love ❤️ ✌️
59 now. Didn’t make this rave unfortunately, but went to hundreds. Best time of my life. Thank you DJ’s and of course the magical “I’ll have an E please Bob”! In fact, I went to raves with much better music than what’s on offer here.
To be honest, if cell phones were around back in the 90’s this kind of vibe probably would not have happened. Mobile phone Technology has had a huge negative impact on our lives. I feel it’s going to get worse and worse for every new generation. 1990’s the last year of freedom. (For our minds).
I agree with that totally . I was at Donnington and Matchams Fantazia. (matchams is only 1 mile from where I live). Nowadays you would be too worried about being posted all over facebook pulling funny faces gurning enjoying yourself and some millennial taking the Piss from a distance!
Derek Dust well technically the real ‘Gentleman’ already ran the show, it was the little wannabe gangster robbing bully crack selling brown pushing soul sellers that began to piss on the chips, darken the light. Hard drugs fkd it all up. Mid to late 90s crack and heroin flooded the streets and ended the essence of a real magical music movement that had been created early on....
just know you literally are one of the luckiest people on earth to get to experience the pinnacle of raves! amongst the 28,000 other people there lol. envy you lot so much. could sit and listen for hours to all the stories people have to tell from them days!
DO NOT MENTION LIVESTOCK PLEASE!! Was at Dreamscape 20 for my 20th birthday in a massive field near Northampton. Anyway my mate suggested an impromptu rodeo before the drive home. Didn't want to be a downer so of i went to select my four legged dancing partner in the field next door. Managed to mount the docile looking thing and show my skills. I lasted all of about 3/4 seconds and was catapulted to the ground. 2 broken ribs and a broken wrist that needed pinning. No pain relief until the following day due to my indulgence the night before so an agony filled drive home to Colchester until I could go col general hospital the next morning and get fixed! Stupidity at its finest and a wrist thats still fucked now. Good times!
😂😂😂 Babes, Hit me up if you need any tips, Flat Stanley ❤ It's Sunday, Should you not be spending the time you have off work with family? What do negative Nancy's have to do with this? Chill out 😘
Jayzee Zee True! no fat bastards back then - look how skinny everyone is on the video. Happy days, now replaced by hate and greed - Rave showed how people can unite, which I suppose was a threat to the establishment. ALL OF US ARE ONE PEOPLE.
I still love going back to this to see the days of my raving past. Ravers, tunes and pills were so pure . Your mind, body and brain knew about it for weeks after. How I miss those days
pleased to say i was right there in front of that stage,most of the night,it was brilliant,still bouncing the morning after aswell,it was an experience i will never forget,memories.only for the hardcore,lol...
being a ripe old age of 50, i hear this and am right there again. Fantazia was amazing, this has to go down as one of the best we had, i still talk to some of the people i met there to this day. Historical event for me!
When young people didn't give a shit about what everyone else thought of them. No phones... No selfies..... No bitching... Just loads of different people all having fun with real extacy in their blood. I find it funny seeing how the youth "rave" nowadays. 🙄
Cooper Williams say what you want mate. Me and my dad have shared stories about raving seeing as he raves back in the day and DJ/Mc’d at places like Dreamscape. We had similar rave stories but the only difference is we have phones to record these times whereas you didn’t
I was in the Philly and NYC rave scene. We thought we were so Hi-Tech. I'm 50 now. We used to be the cool kids and we thought we would be young forever. #Memories
I was 10, my dad had a warehouse in cov , had been doing Blues Parties and Acid House Raves in there since 86/87. My older friend who was 16 got this video. We watched it. I had heard the music but never seen the visual . Watched and rewatch this video. Now watching it again nearly 30 year later . Makes me want to get the 1210s back out and start trying to buy old vinyl and start mixing again.
I was too young to go to this sadly, but remember the mix well. Had it on cassette and our art teacher would let us play it or Obsession/Dance unity during class every week 😁 Went to my first rave in 95, and although it was awesome it was the start of Happy hardcore so the music wasn't as good. I'd have loved been old enough in 91/92, but then I'd be over 40 now so every cloud and all that 😁 Last club I went in everyone was stood around looking dry and perfectly presented and preened, not a hair outta place, fake tanned and phone in hand. What the fuck happened?
I'd give just about anything to go back to these days. I'm an American and we also had some epic parties over here as well. This video brought chills, especially toward the end, daylight.
michael thorn the culture is not internet based, but some people are. it's like everything else... it's just what you make of it, it depends on every single one.
I lived a few miles from donno and could hear this kicking off from across the fields. I was 15 and gutted I wasn't old enough to go..... Listened to the mix tape for years after!
I feel nostalgic for all this. Went to my first all nighter at the very beginning in London in 89. Then emigrated to the USA. Watching/listening to this makes me feel like I missed as they didn't have this in California. I'm 65 now and miss these times.
This is legendary. Thanks James Perkins, Gideon and kimpy, and everyone that started the whole Fantazia scene. I went to a fantazia after party at Perkins home in Chelt, and stupidly stole a 1000pound saville row leather jacket out of his wardrobe. Really sorry but I was only young and high on drugs :) Thanks for bringing us all the amazing memories that was Fantazia. Obsesion and obsessed branched off, but although good, was never quite the same. James Perkins I love youuuuuuuuuuuuu xxx
I kinda lucked-out in that I ended up at a rave in Brooklyn back in 2006 that was both in a warehouse and connected to huge underground spaces. I hadn’t even gotten properly drunk until that point; hung-out with a bunch of amazing people who sounded like they were from Jersey, gave me my first e (they called it a Mitsubishi) and gave me a gatorade, a bar of dark chocolate, and we danced sweaty and mad until we lost each other in the crowds. Never saw them again but think about them a bunch.
The problem was around 2003 when Italians started to blend House with Electro and Electroclash. Dance music started to get much more commercial and then it all got hijacked as "EDM".
I turned 50 last year, and I remember this as if it were yesterday! Me and my friends would get a ferry over and drive wherever the rave was. I am currently watching to try and find myself 😆 Original hardcore crew in da house!!
Great days where everybody was at it, free love for all and plenty of biscuits too heheheheh. What an era it was, my era of raving was early to mid 90s and stopped going in 95 because the music was changing so much in my eyes. Now when I hear these young lads n lasses listening to the hardcore of today its unrecognisable to me, I think to myself...if only you knew what it was really like. My last rave was either a Pleasuredome or Distruxion in 95 if I remember rightly. The old breed of ravers were the cream of the crop, the old nights THE VERY BEST! Oh how I've wished we could all get a couple of world class Snowballs or Doves and then revisit one or two good nights, particularly Obsession, Mythology, Anthology, Fantazia, Raindance, Sunrise, Dreamscape, HelterSkelter but to name a wee few. It's a shame we have to get old, most of the people I knew back then are either dead or are mortgaged off with families. I'm still standing so fuck it. Got a beautiful daughter and I'm good, big up old school raving crews in the area.....tripping in the dark dimension.....watch were you fall. PEACE YALL.
I am now 44 years old. My bro used to put me in the boot of his Ford escort with his mates and omg what a life I used to have. My childhood was amazing full of love Great times i had dancing all night long with fantastic people and memories omg amazing.
This is by far the Best Old Skool Rave i´ve found. The transition, the beats, the flow.......... Speechless and Respect for the makers of those records and the DJ`s
Mr Daniel William Grimsey agreed- a 20,000+ rave EVERY weekend, sometimes shutting down motorways, sometimes growing to monsters like the week long Castlemorton (40,000+). Plus there were always smaller illegal raves going on up and down the country (every weekend). It got so bad they had to bring in laws specifically to target raves (“music.. ..wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats"). The first and only time a form of musical exspression has ever been criminally outlawed. Fukin Tories- I shit 'em
ONE OF My favorite raves ever, and i still roll out the Ratpack tracks , reminds me of the Pimlico crew. Ratpack should go down in the rave old school hall of fame, big up marky and everson, Remember the goodtimes and god people for real.
I was there and it was big time good and will never forget it!! but I still think the free raves were the best. Castle morton and all the others.😁😁 The best time to be 16. Will never forget it. Even though I ended up being a jucke
Probably somebody who'd bought one and had to get it welded a week later heh heheh heh, come on....it was a Lancia heheheheh. It wasn't a Beta was it? Heheheheh.
could never happen now unfortunately, raves were the woodstocks of the 80s-90s, good times, kids now don't have a clue what a rave was or why, i honestly can't remember any trouble at any rave we went too or maybe i just had too many pills lol
Fantazia 1992 ratpack was the first ever rave tape i ever bought.god what a tape.got the hairs standing up on my neck listening this now.we will never ever get this back.best days ever.great times and fantastic people having the times of their lives.thanks for sharing this video and letting people relive some the happiest moments of their lives.
Thatcher fucked it for the raver we were happy and had something going thatcher didnt want a happy working class seem familiar happening now bring back raving fuck the upper class
The only plus point of modern technology is it brings back the memories coz I can't remember half of these top weekends out. It refreshes the brain cells that are left. Top times
When people were allowed to enjoy themselves....... the best years. Never to be seen again unfortunately. Thanks to all the amazing people who made these raves possible. Unity!
HUGE Thank You for posting the full track listings!!!! This video is so ACE!! The biggest party ever, at that time, and they were HAVINGGGGG IIIIIIIIT!!! OldSkool Represent!
Ah the memorys of fantazia and ratpack. Still have an original tape from this event. Danced all night like a looney totally out of my face. I remember seeing all the cars turning up in the morning too for the races that day. Great night.
I was born a few years too late and on the wrong continent (USA), but I have nothing but love and respect for the early days - the music, the parties, and most of all, the people who were there. Cheers to you all. "What's ya name, where ya from, what ya had?" ADDED TO FAVORITES. *\o/*
Hardcore rave music was so crazy. The amount of illegal samples over the beats during the night was crazy! It was so difficult to walk into even the best record shop back in the day and get an hour's worth of this stuff.
I now mow the lawn listening to this music @52 year's of age..... occasionally I stop and throw some shapes.... neighbours must think I'm off my head 😮
No one cared how you looked, no one cared how you failed, no one had a phone in their hands, no one wanted a fight, everyone was there for the music and to have a good time. Sorry kids today but you really missed out.
im dj pastel i played this im 50 now good times god bless nikki and ray and matt and even you ray kieth love you all and miss you loads and as for you fabio lol xx
I listened to this so many times in school (I was a bit too young to go raving in the early 90s) and never realised they'd brought a little kid out on stage when he was singing happy birthday.
I feel sorry for the 3 people who disliked this clip as you will never ever know what you missed. 20,000 happy people off their fucking heads partying until the sun came up, everyone friends even though we were mostly strangers. It's over 20 years ago but the memories are still just as fresh, some of us were lucky enough to live it.
Wow listening to this. .r.ip G.E real, dj chemistry, mc conrad, randall, skibadee, stevie hyper d, mc fatz, dj tango ,stu allan anyone else i missed . Thank you for the memories
