Born 86. Great days 🎉🎉

Me too….. I think exactly the same 🙌🏻

He was more behind the seens then listen and watching brewing up madness like a mad scientist plus if u listen to sets with Wiley his not a Mic hog he let's others shine

If you think a single scene could contain that many competing ambitions...then boy. Look at that stage and think there was a hundred crews other crews forming and looking for radio slots around that time. Garage was a DJ/producer based scene with a small clique of MCs who all knew each other. If you weren't 'in' the scene then you could build a reputation on radio and eventually catch a booking that would test your 'pulling power'. So Solid came through on Delight in South, HLC came through in North on Freek and PAYG came through in East on Rinse. Ayia Napa was the start of the end, they were all on a collision course. That along with the HLC/PAUG clash and the So Solid/HLC clashes..Wiley did well, but he needed that environment if you get me.

It's more a garage show.

@@mathewthomas7090 I wasn't even born then lol, my dad helped run all the pirate stations that all these man were on 😂

@@Harbz109 they was good times I’m in my 40’s now . . . Feels like it was a couple of years ago tho 🤣 . . I bet your Dad could tell a few stories

took the words out of my mouth

646 Records cant compare this to the old skool hardcore / rave scene. All about the love and unity... this is ok but its that type of style that brings violence. If you think raves could never match this then look at all the old skool amnesia house / eclipse / fantazia raves 91 - 92 then you will see the meaning of rave

23lnp I remember the old school rave scene from the late 80s nothing but love. These raves of the early noughties are about as lively as they could get. Compare it to today and what do you have??

23lnp I hear you still. For me personally, I was born 91 so this is basically the era that I grew up on & look back to before Grime came in. Gonna take your advice & look up some of the older raves. Bless up ✊

rorz999 Seen I hear you. In that case why do you think Garage went downhill the way it did?

Rest in Peace Major A C E. Just Google'd him and the saw the sad news. Terrible. I remember these live events like they were yesterday and can't believe it's been 16 years since then. Rest in Peace Major.

don't insult Grindah like that.

LOL! I'm one of Grindah's mates from a long time ago. He's always done the Romeo impressions! Big up Seapa aka Grindah!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Without any of these man there wouldn't be any Mc Grindah. Even Grindha would have to show the most respect to these Don's. This is UKG foundation. 💯👊🏾

Was it the first time anyone played it?

@@slumdog4720 yeah it was, then Slimzee was trying to find the producer who made it to get it

@@andrewburton3205 thats sick. No wonder fonti never always played it. He had it first and all the djs new it 😎

hahah wtf

Callum Leak ya came in through the side entrance!

Rickesh Lad i

Remember the door getting rushed by the local tot man. The reason the lights got left on was because of that starter pistol going off lol

This rave was practically a battle of the endz. Exclusively London and there was nothing like it in that era. I remember record shops were sold out of tickets and people were desperate to get in. A lot of gate crashers that rave.

Kevin Bryce wasn’t this the one with the riot outside? DJ Craze in the DnB room? If so I was there too!

And you Kevin are what I like to call a waste man. Wrong room mate.

@@Alex-ur4ng and you Alex sniff crack

Don't blame you

​@@Alex-ur4ng😂😂😂😂

Fuck da poleiz! Bombaclaat!

Some shots did pop as I recall lol

@@illatek yep we were in the dnb room and all the doors on the side of the room burst open and half the garage room spilled in after shots fired. Bit later went up the stairs to the toilets and they were covered in blood like a crime scene after someone got stabbed. Heard some girls got raped that night too. Was a very dark vibe in the place that night.

Real like tha 💯👌🏾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This is what we did for years! Put mcs on the net for everyone to see

Yeah I remember when he was released he did his first show back on Deja Vu FM. Gift was originally on Champagne Dance but they had to take him out because it was released in charts.

Woi

Ye I was there ppl getting shot! The ran at the club shooting their way in

this was the shadiest rave i ever went too in my life.. bouncers couldnt do fuck all. man gettin shot outside. man gettin stabbed up nearly every hour.. sad times but this era was good.

trust.. these times bouncers started alowing trainers and avi's.. blatantly because they got shook of certain man.. when ukg was strictly shoes and collar.. djs would build up 'ladies tunes' then go in with the b'line rollers. I loved 1999-2002.. we went from smooth and sexy to dark and dangerous

I went to this for the DnB, but this was one poorest organised raves I went to! Queued from midnight to 3am. Feds arrived at 2am blocked the entrance then some manz tried to rush the door. We got in at 3am as someone kicked in a side door. The rave was half empty, lights on in the garage room. Then someone got shot at 5 am so everyone fled. On the brightside we got a full refund! This rave didn't compare to the DnB raves like One Nation and Telepathy!

I was there, I remember it getting gassed and I have vague memories of some gunshots. I remember the lights being on for the last couple hours I think. I was quite waved hanging out with my friends at the back but that's really fucked up reading it the way you put it. I would avoid a rave like that these days. But you're right, the vibe was so good, everyone skanking to some good tunes. 🙋🏼😎

Have you got any sets we can upload on our channel. We are strictly a London pirate radio archive from 1993 -2005. We have a few Raw FM and Raw Mission shows but would like more. Big up!!

This is early 00's bro

Wiley is a legend - GOAT

Sounds great

@@andrewyoung3799 😂

Always!! Nobody commanded the whole rave like they did. Yes Pay As You Go had great MCs, but Heartless had the right balance and DJ Fonti can never be under estimated. He was and still is a legend! So many DJs copied his style.
