Old Skool Hardcore

ICP - Free and equal (Leftfield remix) late 1991, as played by Bryan Gee at Dreamscape 2.




You're welcome :)


For me it will always remind me of : Sasha/laurent garnier at the Academy Plymouth Positivity 91
That was one of my standout nights! I only remembered it years later, when someone handed me the mixtape :eek::facepalm:
chikaboo chika boo!

going in deep there, you can almost feel the bedroom it was made in
love that tune so much <something that maybe isnt acknowledged so much is just how much acid was getting dropped up to 92 and a little after (depending what scene you were in to)...every one mentions Es, but there was a shit load of acid in the mix, id bet anything that overall it was more than in the 60s if you added it all up

100 % agree - me and a couple of mates in particular went through a 2-3 yr period 91-93 of doing it alongside e all the time, and loved it , at clubs, afters etc - right club, right music, right people, there was nothing better for me - the only problem with that was we then ended up going to the same club every week for about 3 yrs, and slightly regret the lack wider of wider club / music exploration, especially the music . .

And despite it being v much 'club acid' ( almost a different drug to microdots / 60's doses ) , I got the feeling it played a big part in what was a pretty tricky 5 yr + comedown from 95' onwards for all of us in different ways, and a little part of the psychological legacy lives on to this day ( tho not always in totally negative ways. )

feel the same way as you cantsin, though probably on a milder scale

what club was it btw - just curious

loads of acid elements in the scene:

In fact this is what hurt me when the main drive in the hardcore jungle scene went to jump up and ragga jungle - i didnt mind those tunes, and listened to them at home, but to me they had almost nothing to do with the rave scene, which was built on acid and e experience. thats why i went to Speed with the bukem and fabio selection in 94-96, as that to me was carrying on the message and heart and soul of the scene

Trade - once we'd started there in 91', there was no turning back - 3 am start till midday + ,drug den madness, soundsytem that made kickdrums sound like massive barrels hurtling down the tunnel of hades, (eg : hence this : ) , ridiculous lazer in small space , 700 x gays, straight freaks, dealers, off duty dealers, rent boys, fashion freaks, freak freaks, club workers, off duty djs, assorted wrong uns + people from outer space as far as we could work out.

Musically, from 91-93, it was unstoppabble , especially Daz Saunds ( mixing up Detroit Techno with hardcore, euro techno, near gabba etc ) and Trevor Rockliffe doing the same , but with some early darkside/ dark breaksy hardcore thrown in, both of them playing very dark and v trippy, from 6 - 10 am every sunday morning. On that system. With what seemed like everyone on acid.

Eventually Tony De Vit crept into proceedings,( slowly but surely) took what Daz n Trev did, and started to basically smulch it all into hard house,which Ive always reckoned helped eventually fuck the place / the music , and possibly the gay club scene itself (musically) for a decade + ( until Horse Meat Disco imo) . Having said that, he was a lovely bloke, with no bad intentions/it wasn't his fault guv.

So yeah, Trade it was.
