Scumoween squat party, London

[Ax^]

k ruined raves anyway

*shakes fist at sky*

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

This is the story of an aging man who'd been living in London for 15 years.

I'd got the evening off babysitting and my mate told me about a party like the ones we used to go to.
I'd not been out for ages but I thought 'why not, I'm not that old yet'
He said it was in Wembley or Enfield or somewere
Because the warehouses in Hackney and Stratford are all flats and Stadiums now
I said: what kind of music do they play there
And he said: Exactly the same sort of tekno as they always did.

One night in Enfield

After getting a taxi up there
After all who can be bothered with the bus
I finally heard the boom of the sound system
And as we turned the corner we saw a load of ravers - all looking about 12

One night in Enfield [x2]

I thought 'this is a bit dirty'
As I wandered into the darkened building
And as I found my way to the edge of the dancefloor
Someone stopped me and said: take this pill
And I said 'no you're alright thanks mate, I don't really any more'
And then they offered me a line
And I said 'No really. It'll wipe me out all week and I've got loads on at work this week'
And then I turned down some cocaine
And some speed
And some acid
And then I drank 3 cups of Earl Gray
Hahaha
3 Cups of Earl Gray
Hahaha

And I stayed until half past ten.

One night back at my flat in Hackney!
(It's worth half a million quid now. Think I might sell it and move to Hastings!)

You'd have to do it in a well spoken accent.

 

[Dan U]

There is a one night in Swansea and one night in Norwich iirc

 

[Dan U]

[captain acab]

The saturday in shoreditch remix is my favourite

 

[Onket]

Links to all these, please!

 

[Supine]

Mr Kirk

Yes?

Your son is dead

Dead?

Yes, dead to the world. He got home at 10:30pm and went straight to sleep. He's getting old.

 

[ddraig]

Links to all these, please!

some are notoriously hard to track down

 

[Onket]

Do they exist or are people taking the piss?!

I got a few remixed versions off soundcloud last night.

 

[Dan U]

I heard the one night in Swansea version with my own ears at the uktek on Betws mountain, locals went wild . One of the last truly great teks imo

 

[Onket]

The ones I downloaded last night and listened to this morning were poor.

 

[Dan U]

No one claimed they were musical gold mate

 

[Onket]

What's the point, then?!

 

[DaveCinzano]

What's the point, then?!

Old or young, that is your credo

 

[ddraig]

I heard the one night in Swansea version with my own ears at the uktek on Betws mountain, locals went wild . One of the last truly great teks imo

think that was one of my last big parties apart from the curtailed one on the olympic ground that got pigged

 

[ddraig]

What's the point, then?!

 

[Onket]

You want to try to explain? The original is a great track, why not at least try to live up to that?

Rambling on about chavs is hardly any good.

 

[ddraig]

come on your an intelligent man

the original is indeed great, the others are tribute rip offs, some terrible!
just enthused ravers/crap enthused tune makers wanting to put their area and relation to raving on the map with a tune about their area

at a guess

not like they have to apply or get it passed by Dave himself so quality control and like you say the sentiment is all over the shop/country

 

[Onket]

I completely get that, ddraig. I don't make music because it would be terrible. People should say if something is terrible.

Some of these efforts shouldn't even see the light of day.

I think saying "What's the point, then?!" if you're not aiming for 'musical gold' is entirely fair enough.

 

[ddraig]

some people who start making shit music go on to make good music

 

[ddraig]

anyway it is just people after their 5 mins of fame init
imagine being the bumpkin who did the Norwich remix and dropping it out of a heavily strapped down stack to hundreds of kiddies lapping and leaping it up!
