No, I'm not talkin about the kids now that are all "yeah dood, I'm headin to thiz rave latr tonight rite..."
I mean the original raver scene, way back in the 90s. The stuff in abandoned warehouses, the underground, when the music could be enjoyed without mass quantities of LSD and laserlights. Did any of you explore the genre "Electronica" back then? Do you have any stories, any good times to share? Maybe the best question, did you have (or still have) a favorite DJ from the time?
Just curious, I'm an Electronica sorta guy.

started clubbing in madchester '89->, then free parties all over the south of england until castlemorton in '92 pretty much killed it off. crazy, crazy days :D
did an image search for castlemorton and ... found a pic with me in it! :eek:

edit: a few of the guys we used to party with later became the green nuns of the revolution :aok

Actually I was a club jock back then. I'd work my regular shift at a country bar then run over to Deep Ellum in Dallas TX to hang out with my mentor and occasionally spin his breaks for him. Good times and I still love the music.

found another pic from the same party :)

the girl with the hat was a friend of ours called marina, the wasted guy in the orange trousers was in one of the guards regiments. the next morning he was on duty outside buck house wearing his bearskin! like I said, crazy days :D

I liked raving back in the One Nation and Slammin days. I still DJ house and drum n bass when I get the urge.
-
really? I'd love to hear some of your work
-
Yep really. I got a pair of gemini PT2000s about ten years ago and my most recent mixer was the pioneer djm500, still working. Have you got an old cassette player handy? I can send you a tape. :D Now that you mention it I should set it all up again and put something on CD.
edit: Oh i should clarify: Never had a job as a DJ, just used to do it with friends and go round doing house parties for people.

Went to a few with some friends...never could get into that music though. It just wasn't for me but the atmosphere was great and the people were cool.
