ECSTASY RAVE 1992

Wet Yourself

FROM CLUB WET YOURSELF
In 2007, which shows how little dance music has changed...
Wet Yourself at the Aquarium is in Old Street, famous for Moorfields Eye Hospital (which is why I went down there last time) and City Roads crisis detox centre - somewhere I hope never ever to go again. It was the pits. They had to give me extra methadone, I was so sick.
Watching this video I can smell dry ice, which smells like stawberries, cigarettes (which shows when I last went out) and mixed perfumes... yumyumyummmy...
Something in me would like to go to a dance party "one last time"... ecstasy is like crack but way way nicer. And non-addictive. Ecstasy is the only drug I'd like to take with my Mum.

Acen: Close Your Eyes (Optokonfusion)

I REMEMBER THIS TUNE FROM 1991-2 when the style of music would have been called hardcore (rave).
Nowadays it's known as "old school" - which doesn't half make ME feel OLD...
If you want a bit of old rave music listen to this, it has all the gimmicks. Electronic voice telling you to "just close your eyes, forget your name, forget the world, forget the people... go insane"
And that slightly depressing vibe that fills a lot of electronica of the time.





Beagle Mix: I like the fractal on this one

Goa Trance

THIS ONE HAS (relatively) good music (and you'd not believe how much crap I had to wade through to find it...)

When I was on this "vibe" I literally felt trance-energy welling through the pavements.

So imagine how surprised I was, feeling the vibe was dead (to me) to find footage of parties like this from just 2 years ago.

Some of this looks suspiciously more like Thailand than Goa, and one of the parties is patently on African soil!




This is one vibed-up party. Japanese girls on Eeeeeeeeee were the very best...

Science Lab: Flesh and Blood

Love this. For the Shakespearean quotations. For the tune. For the "memories" :-?...

Bodysnatch: Euphony (Just 4U London)

NO video and this isn't the mix I like but ... wow I remember it from that time 1992...haha!

The Prodigy: Everybody in the Place

I remember this coming on at a "rave" in 1992... but by that time no selfrespecting "rave" DJ would play the Prodigy unless it was disguised on white label (which it surely was)...

Karahana 97 Israel Trance Festival

DJ Tiesto Trance Sensation

I like this one because it's a pretty random cross-section of a rave ...



Lots of pretty blonde Dutch girls ...
