It was perfectly possible to be a raver and an indie kid, as I was.

old skool memories
honestly you lot - this thread starts with 'anyone want to go to an old skool night' and finally ends up at 'an hour of quality old skool would go down a treat at unsound'. then i remember - my mate said someone was playing some hardcore at the last one before acoustic ladyland came on - i check the flyer and sure enough, switch was doing a 92 set. judging by yer memories i think you had quite enough old skool the first time round

I found a few recordings of sets that were played at the old school night I used to co-promote when I was up at Uni, I'll upload them onto mixdepot and post up the links this weekend - they've got all the classics on them and if you don't mind the fact that they were recorded at a rave and therefore have a couple of MCs they make for a good listen.
At the moment I've found Ratty, Phantasy, Sy and Aphrodite (doing an original jungle set), although somewhere I've got Ellis D, Slipmatt, Altern-8, Top Buzz, Jumping Jack Frost and a few others. Ratpack were the only ones that we didn't get having demanded the DAT when they saw that their set was recorded....couldn't really have cared less seeing as they play pretty much the same set every time but we'd done a tearing warm up for them which was also on the DAT that they pocketed. Grrrrr.
So in answer to the thread, old school nights, they're great.

So here are those mixes, all live at History Of Dance, Newcastle.
DJ Ratty
This one starts with the last 15 minutes of our 2 hour warm up set and having got faster and faster throughout, joins proceedings during some pitched up piano-led breakbeat. Leamington Spa legend Ratty slows things down a bit with a classic 2 Bad Mice intro.
DJ Phantasy
Listening to this set is slightly tarnished by the memory of Phantasy being kind enough to lend me his extremely expensive headphones for the warm up, having promised I'd take special care of them, only for them to get snagged behind my ear
and inexplicably snap in two as I prepared to hand over. He played with one earpiece dangling by its wire with a pronounced frown and I donated my fee.
DJ Sy
Scratchmaster Sy passes through and tears it up over relentless anthems. No nonsense rave.
More to come when I find them.
