Biology Party & Clapham Common July 1989

And that's why I love our scene. Raved in Los Angeles California in the early 90's. The music, culture and all the people, together as ONE.

[@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]

Probably left on some South London estate a burnt out wreck! Haha

[@TeamAcid88]

Wayne Anthony is adding this quote to his new book on quotes

[@gan9e]

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 wonder do people dance today like in this video... or had everyone been fractured and pigeon holed, festivals I suppose... anyway, I can talk toss...

Same! I was born in '82, old enough to be aware of the scenes from the late 80s/early 90s (rave, acid house, even grunge) but too young to partake. Always felt like I missed the boat. So grateful for KZbin and the good people who upload and archive this stuff!

At 7, or 8 years old? 🧐

[@maipai4282]

Ah no.

[@maipai4282]

Mate not having a go and mean no beef etc, but come on and I am nearly 45. Starting raving in 94 and listening to pirate radio in early 93, but there is no way I could claim to be an acid house raver, or early hip hop etc when I was listening to the music in the 80’s and I was older than you by 3/ 4 years. Listening to music in the 80’s does not lay claim to being part of a scene from then. None of it matters as all gone now, but come on you must see that. Anyway, take care.

[@maipai4282]

I did read carefully. You said that you were aware of the scene in 89 at 7 years old. When that is highly unlikely. But as I said, it doesn’t matter and not worth commenting back and forth about.
