Excellent piece of historic footage. I don't agree that music died after this era, but I do think the innocence of simply dancing and feeling genuinely free, has never been replicated. Unfortunately, while the expansion and popularity of the internet is a wonderful thing in many ways (it allows us to revisit this clip for example), there have been huge changes in the way young people act, behave, and are conscious of how others view them. Nobody in this clip felt obliged to facebook video of themselves to their 1000's of fake 'friends', nobody took selfies to share on snapchat or instagram, nobody cared about truly letting themselves go without fear of another person capturing it and sharing it. That is what made this scene and era something special which will never happen again.
All these people are mothers, fathers, grandparents, managers, police, professionals, principles, care workers, lawyers. Some are dead. Some are in prison. Music is life.
@@InternalMind anything but normal then, 30 years later of cause people will be these type of jobs,I was there 30 years ago and now run my own business
this was energy rave in raydon suffolk 1989 illegal warehouse organised via convoy/pirate radio, most folk travelled from london orbital m25 to venue, house tunes were slower until acid/techno detroit/new york todd terry changed tempo.
One thing I've noticed is was more radially diverse when raving in the early days. I think its was down to the fact that there were only a couple of subgenres back then so it appealed across the spectrum. When more subgenres evolved the raving demograph changed too. Trance became more of a white thing, as well as the euro techno sound. Jungle...break beat in England started out as a black thing with reggae influences etc. By the mid 90s I really noticed the split. I liked it more when we were just altogether dancing, it's more interesting that way.
People of all racial backgrounds attended clubs which played Garage music. It didn’t matter where you were from Black, White,Asian, we all had a good time. By 2000/01 the whole scene was dead when different more aggressive forms of mucus came about.

I love that the BPM s seem very slightly slower. And the groove of a track was often allowed to just ride on longer with out all sorts of build ups and drops. Think it gave dancing more of a group tribal feel somehow. That and not worshiping at the alter of the DJ!?!! Oh god I miss my youth of late 80a early 90s 😭😍😅
So great., Brings back so many fond memories. These were REAL raves. No smartphones. People just mingling and dancing and really getting in to the music, instead of selfie-time. I wish I could take a time machine back!!!
@@9852323 Not only selfies. Filming others to put on youtube or I guess now on tiktok or whatever. I'm from 1977. I quit going out in my thirties when I noticed I was one of the few actually dancing to the music. All the rest was just looking, talking, taking movies with their cellphones.
@@9852323 People now think they are enjoying themselves, though those whom think they are most probably weren't around in this videos era to truly know what complete free enjoyment is. Now people are actually stuffy and to concerned with being perfect and being seen without a hair out of place until they get completely drunk and start vomiting over themselves and screaming for attention. All to concerned with dancing properly and not accidently bumping into anyone incase they get stabbed or something. Now everything is controlled and orderly, people are even told to not jump about to much, to put their arms down, tops on, can't have drinks on club floors, music is at a certain level duue to potential ear drum damage. Nothing is raw, people can't just pile into places anymore, people are searched now, it is all pre organised just what people will and won't be allowed to do. Nothing is just raw and people just allowed to move and be as they please. Now they think enjoyment is getting so drunk they are covered in vomit and got a tiktok video of themselves dancing for 5 seconds near the dj before spending the rest of the time completely boozed out of their brains missing most of their clothes and sprawled out on the floor crying saying someone touched them.
God I really love how raw this mixing is and how the record skips over quite a few times. No treble, mid, bass just plain mixing. Nobody really seems to care about a 'smooth transition'. Makes me wanna go back to a time when I wasn't even born.
1988. I remember it well. While getting ready to go to a rave in Austin, TX. I inadvertently consumed 20 hits of choice acid. I tripped balls for five days. Most people didn't notice. I could find any of my friends in the crowd by their scent. I met and partied with the machine elves.
Lol yeah 20 hits and still be able to walk, let alone dance? Haha nice try bro 🤙 You would be lying on the floor, thinking about how breathing works and looking for the answer to life in your deepest self...

We didn't have a clue how we were supposed to dance to the music and just made it up as we went on.. every time the tempo changed we're like "WTF?" LOL. Amazing to have been a part of history. ❤️
Its interesting to note that so much of the music is so clearly derived from disco. I suppose the rave scene was in many ways a resurrection and update of the disco club scene
Chicago house came from disco with a electro twist and acid house twisted a few knobs more, the whole early rave scene it brought everyone together from very different backgrounds,by 1991 it split and split again but for them brief 3 years incredible, after it was still fantastic but had become either clubbing or outdoor legal raves,I'm glad I lived through it mad days indeed
It all ultimately comes from funk. On the "one," as James brown says. House comes from predominantly black urban DJ's in the u.s. who were trying to create grooves by looping portions of funk tracks at night clubs. And The beat is always syncopated. As an American, one of my problems with a lot of the euro techno, is that they forget to have syncopated beat, so it sounds robotic. It's not "on the one," as james brown demands
I only wish smartphones was around in 1993/94 and onwards to listen to all the great sets by DJs at raves and night clubs so you had a breakdown of the tracks/set list been played instead of waiting 20 years plus but then again you get to relive your youth and past the baton on to your kids and teach them roots and history of a great decade in music history. I still dance and rock out while doing the dishes with headphones full tilt and the family are like what the hell dads lost it again haha
Such great memories! I used to DJ at The Fridge in Brixton and all over Europe at various underground nightclub events. Little bits of fluff on the deck that made the record jump were par for the course, along with dodgy mixes, but we all had the best time. Thankfully I don't have any photos of myself from that era, but the memories live on. And yes, we turned out ok despite being off our faces most weekends :)
Dwayne Shaw ... nah, today idiots would explode all over Twitter if someone used the wrong pronoun or just triggered them in some way with a million flavours of whatever is offensive this f**king month. Miss these days. We just came to dance and smile like Cheshire cats.
Facts . Yo I miss this whole thing with no phone talkin face to face. I miss that whole thing . And when you pulled up to the party every one looked at you. I miss that feeling . A lot. L
@@OfficialTigerino literally no one; “oh, you must be triggered” 🤣 It’s called an opinion on social media. Might want to pipe down a bit and wind your neck in.
Best days of my life man, it was all still illegal then, people were raving in tunnels,farms, anywhere that had a space and electricity a pile of sweets and bobs your uncle. The people were all great we were all on the crest of something special even today it's bigger than ever? It's stood up to the test of time. Yo DJ pump up the jam. Here's to the next generation???,😁Aceeeeed.
When you think - 3 years later the concept was still the same but the music was totally different. Play a tune now from 2020 and you wouldn't know it was 3 years old if you get me !
@Eoin O'Sullivan. It's now Feb 28th 2023 and I'm doing the same as you were in 2019. I'm 48 years old and will never stop raving/dancing and loving music.
3 heavyweights from back in the day, Jarvis Sandy promoter of Biology. Dj Evil Eddie Richards and the proper dj old skooler dj Paul Trouble Anderson RIP. ❤️
Was this Energy in Ipswich? Those were some great days - I had been into the punk anarchopunk scene then I went to my first rave and wow, it blew my tiny mind! Overnight everything seemed to become like dinosaurs, the punk scene just looked totally conservative and reactionary. Going to gigs, sometimes trouble, drunken idiots, sexism and racism in a scene that was supposed to be anti all that than home for hot chocolate and bed by 1am at the latest - then all night warehouse parties, all people all colours dancing together, no aggro, no violence - putting on DIY raves, the music the colour it really was a turning point on the gloomy 80s. I was young 15 when I went to my first rave 🤣🤣(sorry mum!) so my coming of age was at this amazing time. Imagine leaving school thinking you lived in a boring village in Berkshire only to find that summer there were free raves literally a few miles from your house!!! I’m nearly 50 but I don’t feel it and I live quite a spiritual life and meditate daily - I reckon it was these raves that opened my mind to just the pure joy of being in the moment, music dancing and love. I don’t do drugs now and haven’t done for many years, but my mind was opened right up !!
Oh shit, It's my old friend Eddie at the two minute mark. What an absolute gentleman. Met Eddie for the first time in Toronto in about 95. What an ace!
How the crowd responds nicely to the record change and the vibe from the DJ @19:45 ;-D xx Fantastic party atmosphere for a female to be in, so energetic, peaceful and blissful at the same time, awesome :-)
to all the 40 &50 year olds..this was your Era, and the last off the best ever electronic sounds..1980s, 1990s, early 2000's.. after that, music died! "Women looking like natural women also, attractive, Some of today's women..Urgh!"
Brad L.L Respect to ya. I hit 40 this year, and with it my midlife crisis 😉 I don’t think I will ever get bored of the tunes tbh. Music these days sucks big fat ones. Nothing will ever beat the first time ❤️😋
Nonsense I ain't dead I was bang at it in the N.W best times of our life's . Dont touch anything now kids, cars, holidays. You're only young once and we did it right.
The good old day's, buying your ticket from a record shop, phoning 0898 number to get location, then dancing the night away, no fake people just people expressing themselfs, in them day's we didn't all face the DJ we just danced wherever, wore what we wanted, danced how we wanted, dropped what we wanted, fuck i miss this still to this day ,HOUSE 4EVER
I really feel that era and I’m not even that old xD but I prefer the 80’s so much! Nowadays u can’t even go into a club without seeing people on the phone! Hate that.
Lol is it fuck, everyone wants to have their phones out and face a dj taking photos rather than letting the music take control and being free of constraints
Post break dance era house. I barely heard it growing up because it was so underground in the mid '80s. I remember some wicked cassettes that I heard in a buddies car stereo. Never forgot the sound!
Look at the DJ's spinning records and chilling out. Not twidling an EQ knob every 2.5 seconds. Not getting spot of perfect mixes , but having fun. I wasn't raving until the later 90's, but I sure do miss old events like this. Now you go to some giant festival where thousands of people stand and all stair at the DJ like he's some god.
Merci, vraiment un GRAND merci kinolibrary de nous remettre dans le contexte et de nous rappeler d où on vient! smiling and smiling and smiling again!😶🌫🤩💓kiss from france!
Cheer up everyone! “Jack, 1989’s the year house music is in your ear. Homegirls from around the city looking pretty”! The Berlin Wall has fallen, there’s no war in the Middle East. Dungarees still look cool. EDM is here to stay! The poll tax will be beaten, Thatcher will die. Ecstasy will be effectively decriminalised ,and your kids can go to Tomorrowlands in Belgium and we can all download every single dance music record ever made for the price of cheap internet access. (Jolly Roger - Acid Man by Eddie Richards 👍🔥) Happy Birthday Acid House!
Great footage I started in 1990 raving so just missed out on these, but god I miss them days so bad!! .. try as hard as you can in 2019 onwards .. you can’t even get close. Special original times, we made the scene ♥️💊💊
In those days, if someone pointed a camera at you, you started dancing more energetically. Even if you were exhausted after dancing all night. Nobody wanted to get filmed looking bored at a rave.
Back when keeping tracks matched was a skill. I thought about something, when people say I don't like trance or hardcore or any other stuff, they actually do as pretty much all forms of electronic music came from house so they actually do like it. I myself was late 90s , mid 2000s guy with hardcore ,original hardstyle, darkcore, pretty much anything with a heavy bassline, I have to point out how different these sessions look and come across compared to now where everybody faces DJ and has phone up.
You look at the raves nowadays, especially in Ibiza, and it’s all Gucci Sunglasses, and Versace shirts, everything is shiny and sparkly. and commercialised, they only care who looks the best. give me a dirty sweaty basement, or a muddy field, and a pair of ripped jeans any day .😎
When you are raving so hard and all of a sudden realise it’s daylight and you think oh I’ve danced all night...........then someone says the words that fuck your head up even more....... “that was two nights ago mate” 😳
i'm 16, i literally wish for this experience. all the youngens, all of the old ones who want or need to experience this should organise smt like it. you guys from the 80s arent too old yet are you? 😂
@jaffa tyree phones defo have ruined a large part of it all, I still know of some raves that are happening which my mates go to n it’s a good vibe but it’s not like these parties and different music too
