I stood up and cheered when Lenny DEE came on and spoke :)

Sterns had the best vibes of any Southern Cub,proper indoor raving. We went numerous times as ravers and to see Mates DJ sets and We were also lucky enough to perform a Live set there in 1991 the same night Moby performed Go(Not Live). RIP Mensa a one-off individual with vision. Those Were The Days x

Love this! Wicked tribute. 💚

Best rave doc 🫶🏻❤️

24:44 - speak for self mate

Drive??????

I missed the all nighters. Only started going March 93. 4 months later it was closed down. 2 in the morning finish. Must have gone most weeks until blister. Brilliant atmosphere 👌

Thanks for that lovely little video...really enjoyed it. Sterns was so magical, just seeing those photos I felt the energy of those times wash over me. I'm just so thankful I was there. That can never be taken from me 🙏 Love to all my unknown friends out there ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I remember the wet walls ha ha

One club our crew never managed to go to, despite having a reliable lift that took us to Universe and various free parties from 1990-92. At least we have this superb footage to go on!

The sound track to my life, I have one of the rarest sterns videos on my channel, The best days of my life. MENSA RIP. people only ever catch the tailends where you took off. Jez

You guys know what is the name of that song at 1.22.18?

A magical moment in time. Get strange

🥰

What's the track from 19.55

love the opening music great doco air bristling with cell phones just makes a mega-cheddar vibe yuk It's like everything: starts out great then diminishing returns eg bars that are cool then wind up being patronised by gronks ,,, Thailand early 90s - loose, cheap, great music, then a few years later concretey, run by gangsters, commercialised...

I'd travel down from London with a few mates, amazing nights on the underground, I'll never forget them. Remember going out into the courtyard for a breather and a drink, chatting to strangers, everyone was friendly, never saw any trouble. Who remembers getting 'lost' on the dancefloor and then suddenly the lights came on and everyone had to leave, and thinking- where did the last four hours go? Outside in a field some guy would pull up in a Transit and throw the backdoors open, booming music, we'd keep dancing as the sun rose. Absolutely magical times, glad I was part of it.

Sterns? I mean yeah OK, but I could name 10 that were far better. Astoria (telepathy), Lydd (World Dance), Que club (Flashback), Eclipse (Coventry), Shelley's (Stoke), The Haçienda (Manc), Slammin at Bagleys..................... list goes on.

Never forget chatting with a mate at the top end 😂 carpark after an allnighter, hearing rustling. Ignored it, then it happened again. My mate asked "did you hear that"? Next thing you know some guy dropped out the tree saying he was looking for his keys 😂😂

CDJ's why? Why not 1210's and a mixer if you're a"real DJ". Personally I think Traktor is a better platform than Rekorbox or Serrato but I know I'm in the minority. I've never got into CDJ's I went straight from vinyl to a controller, CDJ's are amazing prices of kit but let's be honest they're as obsolete as vinyl, probably less so because a real connoisseur wants to see a vinyl set! As for the rest of your points, really, lighting., toilets wtf! It's not the DJ's concern, you're their to play music. Don't even get me started on requests, I'm of the opinion that they're there to hear YOUR set, if they want to listen to THEIR playlist then they can listen to that at home.

Never went to Sterns but spent many lost weekends at DIY and Spiral Tribe free parties, Castlemorton and then clubs up north like The Orbit, Cream and Voodo. Clubs back then were on every weekend and always packed.

The last tune ,I was sure I had it on vinyl at the time , turn it up turn it up , sound system Can't picture the record ,I keep thinking it's system 7 Can anyone name it 😢

So many memories there’s me at 25.46 I used to dance at the bottom of the stairs to the underground or in the garage room- spent nearly every weekend of 91/92 @ Sterns, along with White Sugar, Bentleys, Fantazia etc etc then onto The Manor, Zap, upto Moneypenny’s & Wobble in Brum - had a blast - still love to dance now think we were so lucky to be part of it!!

How much was a ticket to that club,€20.? I raved in Denver colorado in the 90s and i think they were around that or more...?

Simon's in Gainesville Fl was just the same! 3 floors of epic nightlife.

92 - 2000 were our clubbing years just incredible no trouble no issues- London Bristol Birmingham- that club in Bournemouth? Some stately home? Es incredible Doves Mitsubishis etc - don’t regret a moment

Great recommendation on KZbin 👌🏻 As a 53 yr old that went to Sterns 30yrs ago it was definitely a standout club, people coming from all over the country. People necking their gear in the queue 😂 I also remember the little courtyard chill out area. Stairs and rooms everywhere. The flyers were just as legendary

Brilliant, takes me back, but what came first Mensa LOFD or Vapourspace - Gravitational Arch Of Ten

Bro you know don’t you the reason is say this because of the mention of Murray dreamscape helter skelter and rain dance where my home and a place I went to express and love with no boundaries

DJ Rap - Top Floor... end of the night, couldn't pull me away

LENNY DEE i can't believe it!!!

90’s into 2000’s Work hard play hard 👊 Eat sleep Rave repeat 🕺🕺

I was lucky enough to be just the right age in the last year to go we started on the u18 nights then haha just went into the normal nights but the last one with lenny Dee was so memorable....Industrial strength records went on to do a few really good nights in worthing and surrounding areas you couldnt keep Lenny out of sussex haha

my era

love it

♥️ why isn't there a Progress wobbly house emoji?

I loved the place.. happiest times of my life .. I lived across the road I was there every time it was open .. .. rip sterns ❤ love to mensa and all associated with the FARM

the after Parties were the highlights of the raves in the UK. going to a nice country house was awesome and then walking back to pick up your car to drive home the next day. no mobiles, no violence just dancing

feel privileged to have had nights at this great venue!

@4:39 wearing a white Chippie T shirt 😁😁😁🙃🙂😊✌✌✌

We never went as we had Soul Drop Turn ie Millwaukee's from about 89 but just from word of mouth we knew it was good, their flyers got everywhere back then as sure we were handed some outside The Ecplise when the first clubs started to open. Exodus was local as well & their warehouse illegals were classic, still got our 1200's & llf at what our generation got up too.

What they did at sterns was magic.completely made the most of every minute I spent there ❤

When you talk to people who weren't there about the punk ethos of rave they look at you funny but we all use to turn up to wherever the party was and chip in for petrol for the generator and it did feel like we'd all made it happen. We all supplied something whether it was sound systems, tending the fire, selling the relevant goods or contributing to the petrol bucket. Halcyon days. Luv and Peace.

The music then you'll not hear now. Sampling laws didn't exist, it all changed afterwards. There were some amazing mash ups. The basement was a mecca.

I don’t remember it well but I’m told I loved it😂

Love dove's, xtc, the best at sterns

Them stairs to the underground were lethal 😂😂😂Good old days big ❤

The golden years 1988-1992. Slave to the rave, rave to the grave ❤

People now will never know what the birth of the Rave scene was like. Being a teenager at that time and REALLY experiencing it to the fullest was a time I will never forget and are so happy I survived it. Best days ever.👍🙏

Sterns was my very first club I went to.. 17yrs old and only lived down the rd about 40mins away. 91-93
