Biology Party & Clapham Common July 1989

[@tamjames1496]

Wow, I was at this party, still have the original biology flyer. I was a car sprayer and worked for Cowies... I was in that van driving past at 3:48. Saw Chalkie white doing his wheel and reverse parking which was absolutely hilarious to watch. You'll never see the likes of these events again, it was a very special and magical time to be a raver, everything and everyone just seemed to gel so well like it was meant to happen. All colours and creeds sharing the same sky and we all were one big very happy family. 89' was my favourite year of all time. ❤️❤️❤️

[@lynseypringle9585]

people looking at other people whilst they are dancing tend to copy the dance moves of each other... so they all eventually end up dancing in unison, yet with their own style and moves... simpatico with the patterns of music, the same head bobs, the same thrashing arm movements... some try and push the envelope of uniqueness but end up with a one way ticket to twatville very quickly... occasionally the ultra-cool bibble-bouncer comes along and gets copied by everyone else... this is how religions and cults start for gods sake...

I was a ticket agent for the illegal Biology rave held at the empty Panasonic warehouse on the Bath Road in Slough. Ironically I didn't go. lol I was also a ticket agent for two Atmosphere raves. It was by accident that I became a ticket agent. I was on my way to the Dungeons in Hackney and I was lost. A car stopped and asked where the Dungeons was and I said I didn't know and was trying to find it myself and the guys said jump in. So I did and they said they were going to put on a rave called "Atmosphere" and asked if I would like to be a ticket agent. So I said yes and after that I started to receive calls form other promoters including the guys who did Biology.

Gran história amigo. Soy de buenos aires Argentina y quiero ser dj y pasar ácid house, ácid techno y breakbeat entre otros de la época. El sonido ácid house tuvo lugar en argentina en su época pero raves muy pequeñas. Me gusta su sonido, la estética y especialmente sus bailes donde saltar y mover los brazos es una constante. Ese tipo de baile ayuda a subir la adranalina. Me fascina todo. Quiero darle vida. Me parece atemporal. Pero sólo es una idea. Recien estoy comenzando a planificar como.
