00:00 - Early Days of UK Raves & Acid House
09:00 - Current Garage, D&B & Drum Break Influences
16:00 - How Counter-Culture & Dance Culture Intertwine
21:41 - How Lockdown Impacts Raves
27:04 - What's The Future of UK Raves?

[@Sol-Cutta]

I'm 51 and a original old skool raver..at 11 in 83 I was a breakdancer listening to electros. This progressed to house in 86, acid house in around 88, and 90 was at raves, 91/2 free travellers festivals. It was the most beautiful time that now seems quite unbelievable since the government bought laws in around 95 that ended free festivals. I feel privileged to have been a part of a great music and dance scene with extras in the alternative lifestyle I led and still travel along the fringe of. Met people who are sadly gone now. But the greatest thing about the music was that choons.ud heard in 86 were being sampled and remixed years later ad infinitum, that was the best thing , a example , my fave ever track mr.kirk, the amount of different remixes and other tracks that used parts of it.

[@tambian9130]

in October 1988 me and 2 mates broke into a disused warehouse in park royal area. We had tickets printed a week prior to the rave. Basically we were aiming for 2 to 300 people. My fuckin jaw hit the floor when realised how many people actually turned up, easily 3000 plus. Cut a long story short my party was called Stomach Bashers and it went down a treat. Ravers loved it so much they begged me to do another one....so i did, in December that same year. Nothing can replicate the early days of acid house, it really was the best days of my life.

[@featherflow]

[@AlexandraStarr1974]

I was at that sunrise party that was alluded to in this video, myself and 4 others in a red vauxhall chevette knew about this party weeks before it happened, the rumours of a big sunrise were rife in the scene and we all eagerly waited for it to drop, and by heck did it drop, one of the best all nighters I ever went to. Oddly enough, this easter bank holiday, I went to an illegal rave last night (Saturday), not too far from me in my corner of Norfolk, though seeing all the kids all ketted up and moshing is proper weird, there is a sense of unity there but it is a strange one at that, everyone seems rather detached from it all these days, however the DJs were absolutely smashing it with the tunes, everything from old school breaks to raggatek. I am old, so I didn't stay all night long 😃

Lived it, loved it, survived it.

[@bigmacntings7451]

that's a bit harsh. lived it,loved it, survived it, thrived it. The whole scene was massively groundbreaking in social inclusion. You could quite easily walk through a festival or club and get to be besties with either the son of the lord of the manor or some downtrodden kid from the roughest council estate in the country. It didn't matter, you all had an equal passion for the music,and you were all equal under the lights and lasers!!!!

A lot has changed societally and raving will never be the same for our generation as it was in the late 80's/90's, but there's so much exciting innovation in the global dance music community! The music only keeps on getting better and more diverse, and the technology that enables it only keeps getting more accessible to the average person.

Youth man, you gotta do this for yourselves. You have to risk this all for the liberties of your lives. If you hide away and fear the powers that be they will know they've won. My generation mocked the government and she was formidable, she hated ANYTHING that stood for liberty and freedom for youth, we made sure she knew full well if she tried to shut us down we'd happily ALL go to jail, ALL of us one by one, we didn't care, maybe because we had less to lose but we had all to gain. power concedes nothing without a demand. it never did and it never will, RAVE ON RAVE ON.

I would love to see rave culture reborn

[@Pringy]

Rave culture is still there, it’s just regulated now. I turned 18 in 2007, my older siblings, brother (15 years older than me) and Sister (10 years older than me) combined raved in the 90’s and early 00’s, ultimately I was brought up listening to that music and loved it. When I finally turned 18 in 2007, I went to Cream in Liverpool and I’ve done countless clubs, festivals and events in the UK and abroad since. The rave culture is there and always has been but instead of it being “illegal” it’s held in licensed venues and sites, rave culture is not a time relevant thing, it’s in our DNA, you either love to rave or you don’t, a huge part of that comes down to musical preference and personality, it’s a way of life, it’s an identity, it’s not something you choose, it just happens, it sucks you in and even if you get older and stop attending events, it will always be part of your make up and no doubt played a huge role in shaping you into the person you are. It may be a different time and a different way of doing things but I assure you, if you went to Creamfields now the clothing may be different, people may have phones and be taking pictures and vids but the fundamental components of a rave atmosphere experienced at Creamfields in 1998 are still there at Creamfields now. The love for the music, love for the DJs, love for the people, being united as one with a crowd of people in a particular moment in time, being next to a complete stranger who in that moment it’s like they’re your best mate and you’ve known them for years, hi 5ing random people, dancing with random people, hugging and loving random people, random people who together in that moment have so much in common, this being one of many moments that will be etched in your mind forever and shape who you are as person. The rave culture is still there, it never went away, and it will never go away. The rave for me was life defining, none of my mates growing up were into electronic music and raves, I went to Ibiza in 2009 for the first time then for years kept floating the idea of going back but it never happened. January 2018 I came out of a relationship and decided to book flights to Ibiza on my own for 5 nights, 2 weeks later ended up creating/joining a Whatsapp group of solo ravers who were going to Creamfields alone that year, it was the best year of my life. Ibiza, raved met so many beautiful people in those 5 days that have become friends for life and the Whatsapp Group is still going strong, together we’ve done raves up and down the UK and in Europe (Amsterdam, Utrecht and Hungary). We all get on likes brothers and sisters I’d trust any of them with my life, even though 4 years ago I’d never heard of, met or spoken to any of them. That is the rave culture… We may be in different times, with different clothes and different technologies but ultimately the emotion and bond, love for the music and escapism is exactly the same now as it was in 1993.

[@candjnutrition2752]

Sorry but the quote by that young lady is ridiculous raving has never been race based. Black white all under one roof. Tell she wasnt there in the 90s

[@Jonny_Does_Breaks]

I thought the same. The raves were a level field for everyone

[@raf3070]

I agree, basically she’s a racist in reality and trying cause 💩 by saying raves were race based, this is why the world is like it is because of people like her....

Or maybe you were just in a bubble back then and didn’t really fully appreciate the fruits of black creativity

Britain brought raves to the whole world, going to these places in the mid 80s and through the 90s was unbelievable. Not knowing g where they were at til the last minute and getting there seeing 1000s of people dancing and off their nuts, I wanna do it all again, it was just the best days ever 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

These children weren't there and cannot comment on what they didn't experience. Rave was finished by 93. Its not a fashion and google Facebook and smartphones were not a part of it. Millenials get your hands of our past!!!

Anyway maybe I should watch this before commenting. Reverse Nostalgia is a sign that the contemporary youth have no authentic sub culture in a way I dont blame them.

[@bigmacntings7451]

yeah ok sort of.....I think there's been an educational defecit which has taught them by rote for the past 30 years or so,which doesn't exactly help with original thinking. Not to say it can't happen, but the boundary breakers ae going to be the school social misfits who never fitted in!!!!....not that that changes much😄
