@Vesper Some crackers there mate,

 the amazing  M25 Orbital parties.

Thirty years ago, Britain gave the world rave culture

On the eve of a three-part Sky Arts documentary about acid house, we celebrate the proud British history of getting off your face in a field

Sorted for E’s and whizz: revellers at a Tribal Dance rave, M25 Orbital, East Grinstead, August 1989

 

In 1988–9, British youth culture underwent the biggest revolution since the 1960s. The music was acid house, the drug: Ecstasy. Together they created the Second Summer of Love — a euphoric high that lasted a year and a half and engulfed Britain’s youth in a hedonistic haze of peace, love and unity. At the end of a decade marked by social division and unemployment, acid house transcended class and race, town and country, north and south. Amid the smoke and lasers, an entire generation came up together.

How did it happen? The story starts in Ibiza, which by the mid-1980s had outgrown its roots as a hippie commune and was attracting beautiful people from all over the world. The island’s carefree, all-night parties and eclectic music impressed a young DJ called Paul Oakenfold on his first visit in 1985. Oakenfold was determined to bring this blissed-out scene back to rainy London, with its exclusive dress codes and judgmental door policies. Although his first experiment at a Balearic club failed, another trip to Ibiza in 1987 convinced him to try again. ‘I brought a few friends over for my birthday and 30 years later we’re still talking about it,’ he says.

Oakenfold and his friend Danny Ramp-ling each started Balearic nights in London in the autumn of 1987. The Future and Shoom were wildly popular, not least because they coincided with the first major influx of Ecstasy into Britain. ‘The drugs were better than any before or since,’ says James Delingpole, an early convert. ‘Everyone was loved up in a way that subsequent generations haven’t experienced.’ The empathy-enhancing properties of Ecstasy saw people from all walks of life become best friends for the night. After years of beating each other senseless on the terraces, even football casuals were putting aside their differences and ‘getting right on one, matey’.

Noticing that their baggy-clothed, pilled-up patrons wanted to dance to repetitive beats, the Balearic DJs started playing more of the new acid-house records coming out of Chicago. The ‘acid’ in the name referred not to LSD, but to Phuture’s ‘Acid Tracks’, a record whose hypnotic, squelchy Roland TB-303 bass sound set the blueprint for the genre. ‘House’ was already the established term for Chicago’s own brand of electronic music, characterised by a 4/4 beat and syncopated hi-hat (say ‘boots, cats, boots, cats’ out loud and you’ll get the idea). It had initially found an audience around 1984 among the African-American and gay communities at Chicago clubs such as the Warehouse, or ‘house’ for short.

I have never put up anymore of his stuff after I put up an OLD late 80's set from the World (lower east side club in NYC) and also one from Limelight in London (near Cambridge Circus) and the cunts from Limelight (Peter Gatien's barristers) did a DMCA takedown and threaten to sue me, and 2 weeks later so did the holders of the World's evergreen copyrights, and also some of the music right's holders in it (stupid me used his notes and made a playlist, you know how anal I am about documentation, lolol).

My brother has been dead now for almost 20 years (next April). I idolised him growing up, he would always bring me the coolest little shit from all over the world when he would come home to visit my parents. He left me over 10,000 vinyl records, they are in storage in London still.

Really were legendary nights, A real feeling of oneness!! Only ever saw a handful of fights and considering the numbers of peeps and the states we used to get in I find it amazing. Was only when some ouytsder came along trying to riip peeps off with hookey gear and they would be escorted out with a lump or 3 and their money confiscated.

What was great about raves were it let peeps who didn't have a ounce of ryhm in their bodies get wide eyed and legless and make them think they were great dancers and nobody else gave a shit whether they could or couldn't lol

Luckily I never had to keep ringing a number all night and joining convoys miles long but I never met anyone who cared about it.

The full moon paries we have in Goa have that same vibe to them but with people there from all over the world having it. A great sight.

 

Still gibes me tingles watching it.

Sorry mate

I know how that one goes only too well.

You --- Anal!!! ---- Nooooooo mate never!!

Shame his tunes are not being appreciated and played.

People get at me for not Djing or selling my collection to someone who would. But I;m just a complete hoarder as far as my records go and it would hurt me to do it.

I had to sell 1/2 of my 1st collection to help my old dear out with her mortgage which at the time needed to be done. But I spent every penny I made for a long time on them and when others were selling up I bought their collections off them/ I estimated a short ti,e back Ibe got 17,000 45s and Ive got some set up rounf the flat instead of ornaments or pieces of art.

I used to run this club early to mid 90s in Brixton just down the road from me. Was just 2 houses knocked together. Stripped down,black painted walls with luminous painted graffiti. Was only a quid to get in;

Couple of old beat up bits of furniture and a very illegal bar just sold Red Stripe and Carlsburg Special Brew and loads of Jamaican Rum

Ran from Friday midnight to Monday morning every week. Mostly played rave/house but once a month I did a Ska/Reggae night. Was excellent. All the old Rastas/Jamaicams came along with the old Skinheads, all dancing together. Never needed a smoke machine cause everyone that came smoked. Cops knew I ran it, would turn up once in awhile. But they never minded cause it was all love and peace. And they knew it kept all the headcases off the streets of Brixton lol Was fine till a couple of daft girls paniked on E's and thought they were dying so phoned for a ambulance. Didn't help it was just after Leah Betts. So the Old Bill shut me down.

But I played all the old Blue Beat,Studio 1,Island,Trojan etc. Excellent times
