Agreed completely. He was the best, saw him live over 5 or more times. Nice gentleman, as well.

No, not actually. Look further into it brother. His death has nothing to do with drugs.

Central Florida was a good place to be. From 97-2000. Thank you Mr. West.Your flavored beats collection helped me feel the beat other then react differently. God Bless. Always a Central Florida Legend.

Not just central Florida but all of Florida because all the Florida Break DJ's traveled all over Florida including Jacksonville where I lived from 97 to 2002. Matter of fact every weekend we had at least one or two of the top DJ'S like Icey, Babyanne, Shiraz, Rick West, Malicious Mike, Infinity and so on and so on.

WOW! Almost 1 million impressions. Rick West is smiling down on this video. From time to time I come back to watch this and remember the star of my career. Rick was always super friendly and a joy to work alongside. I certainly miss the friendship of so many great Florida artists. Times have changed so much in music.

[@keatontaylor2760]

Cyberzone was my main hangout back in the day! Dabbled in lots of other clubs and parties but Cyberzone was special! Nothing else quite like it.

Some of the Underground parties in the warehouses off 17-92, but they may have been closer to The Edge days.

When i moved to Florida i was everywhere from tampa to Orlando miami west palm ft Lauderdale Gainesville Panama city beach destin ft walton Florida had so many great venues and djs to count but one that stood out was the icon rick west. He always threw down and the party was all the way up. His set selection and seamless smooth mixing style was perfection. Not to mention that rick was cool as a fan. Nothing but love.

I want to say hi to all of you , I live in Orlando now but during CYBERZONE I lived in Buffalo NY we had CLUB E . Very similar in fact almost the same scene and also in my home town of Casablanca , Morocco LE CAVALIER nightclub . ALL 3 were similar and 3 are long gone , best scenes were the 90's and early 2000's , glad I found this video by accident CYBERZONE today is a Chinese restaurant today , CLUB E is now an office for insurance company and LE CAVALIER is now a fancy Italian restaurant. By the way there was a raid at CLUB Ein Buffalo NY and LE CAVALIER in Casablanca , Morocco was also raided just like CYBERZONE from what I heard. I wish I would gone to CYBERZONE and I know I would of love it just like I loved CLUB E and LE CAVALIER .

[@angeldust43091]

I clubbed all over Fl during the magical years of 97-02 and also experienced clubs in NY, ATL, LA, Vegas, and even Ibiza in 00 and although they had breakbeat it was not the same in energy. Hun I'm very sure the clubs you mentioned were off the chain but to not experience cyberzone, firestone, turtle, soulrayz, etc. in all their glory during a festival or like new years it's hard to make a blind comparison because you knew when you were raving at these places that this was a very special time that no other place on earth could lay claim too.

[@99waterlife]

+Mark&Stephanie Silcox Hello , how are you , thanks for the response , interesting response about the vibe and energy . i just wish I could have experience it . How long was Cyberzone been opened ? What used to be there before Cyberzone ? By the way the beautiful crystal chandelier is still there on the ceiling when we go to the Chinese place ( Wild rice ) I was told by a couple of friends of mine who used to go there at Cyberzone . Le Cavalier nightclub in Casablanca had a special type of vibe with so many different DJ'S such as bad boy Bill , DJ Tiesto and Scribles as well as DJ Ali Baba and DJ youssef and many more from other countries , an amazing rave club , the bathrooms had weight scales , every Saturday people could win cash !!! there was either a trivia night , a dance competition , a hot body competition , the luck of the wheel , a comedy competition and a fashion competition , it was by far the best rave club / nightclub in all of Morocco ! Today as I said it is a upscale Italian restaurant called " La citta di Napoli " the only thing that is the same are the doors , everything else has been completely changed inside and out . Good times back the day the true real ravers that we were . Today's raves is not the same , I no longer do that but I certainly have a great memories I shall never forget

[@angeldust43091]

Just a vibe that was special to Florida especially locals just like I'm sure in Morocco there was a special vibe to locals that most people never really got to know on short week spurts on vacation. As for cyberzone I don't know what it was before and refuse to eat at the fried rice place only because I want my memories to always be purely cyberzone memories. No fwied wice to mix with those beans. And although I love me some tiesto....err well earlier tiesto and the like I preferred rolling on florida breaks with an emphasis on djs from orl or tampa/ybor

[@99waterlife]

+Mark&Stephanie Silcox I remember just like yesterday the green Kangoros beans we had , fucking amazing beans rolling so hard core and free spirited and one night bang the fucking Casablanca Metro police busted the club , I was so scared I had 10 pills in me , me and a couple of friends went out the back emergency door and jetted out ! We made it but unfortunately many have been arrested . It was a major drug bust at le Cavalier , there were cops everywhere , it was all over the local news , one of them was one of my best friends , he did one year in jail . Le Cavalier was shut down but opened it again 3 weeks later , thugs try to take it over , there was a stabbing and the club got shut down again and reopened but in January of 2001 it was permanently closed . I have some great memories there even with all the crazy stuff that happened there . I went to Casablanca , Morocco and we went to La Cita di Napoli and I said I am not going in this place !!! I refused my cousins were shocked . so we went to another restaurant , I told them I will never set foot in that place again , too many great memories there . The place looks so much different than when it was a le Cavalier rave club .

[@99waterlife]

Hey Bruce , no I am done doing that shit lol but great times I shall never forget. I hear beans nowadays are bunk not just here in O town but elsewhere as well

central fl mid to late 90's progressive house and breaks. wish I could go back!

[@wilksholmes1285]

While my partying days are long over, I still love the music. I'm not sure how the scene is these days, but from 1999-2004 in NC, SC, you could find a decent local weekly anywhere you went and there wasn't a weekend that passed without a ridiculous party in Raleigh, Charlotte, Greenville SC, Myrtle Beach. Wilmington. I was lucky enough to see Rick West a couple of times, along with Jackal & Hyde, Merlyn, Baby Anne, Infinity, Sharaz, B.L.I.M., Rennie Pilgrem, Exzakt, Draco, Sploo, Icey, Friction & Spice. Debbie D, and dozens more. A different time, a different place, but definitely some of the best memories ever.

[@brandonboggs2656]

"The scene" is a popular culture reenactment these days it isnt NOTHING like then but then again I'm almost 40 now so my whole mentality is different.

[@mistydube1700]

I didn't no home but I lv this mix those t the times like u all said 99 2004 wuz the shozxat 4 sure amen god bless u homie DJ trashy so hottyy

[@beacqua8183]

I lived in Melbourne 99- 2001. So many memories. I was at Cyberzone the night it got Raided!!!! I could go on and on. Will never forget those years. The Millennium Daytona Beach Club 600 NORTH. Forget About It!!!!!!!

[@yuenglingking]

+anthony acquafresca hey im trying to remember that club that was over there was it Soul Raze?

[@beacqua8183]

+yuenglingking You talking about Cyberzone..

[@yuenglingking]

+anthony acquafresca no. cyberzone was lee rd orlando. fairly sure it was soulrays

[@beacqua8183]

+Bobby B I use to go to Icon where Baby Anne was resident. 600 North NYE was off the Hook!!!!! Then there was one in Cocoa Beach. Love those years.Break Beats Rule..

[@ashleymurphy8647]

I went to the one in cocoa beach all the time and I have seen baby anne, sharaz, dj x and infiniti many times I never made it out to Orlando because I wasn't of age at the time I graduated 2001 but o definitely was huge into the rave scene starting my 10th grade year! Man was it the best time of my life, wish I could go back. So much fun and without a care in the world. Had two 10's behind my seat in a little two seater ford ranger just for the bass!!

[@TrueSkoolMusic]

I was there when they raided the place - Prophecy was playing live.

[@SL3pt0n]

I remember that shit Shannon made the announcement over the P. A that they were coming. The dance floor was covered in beanz. Lol. Good times. Miss Cyberzone and Dj Soul

[@vampoftrance]

I was in a raid well before that music, and its nothing new

[@TrueSkoolMusic]

@@vampoftrance Hi Robin, NOPE- definitely nothing new. Seen your shows few times . . Hope all is good. your staying out of trouble ;) - Do you have some new projects coming down the pipe? If not let us know - would love to send you some beats to collab.

[@RobinOlive]

ah yeah! These were the best times ;) I was probably at this event. Thanks for posting. Can we go back to '99?!

[@BassRocket]

Partied like it was 1999 for reason.

[@davidl5417]

How about some Baby Anne? You know the BASS QUEEN!!!!!

[@jasenbaker9918]

+Big D i remeber when she came to cocoa beach with dj icey

[@toddluns1]

She sucks. Went to 10 or more shows of hers. Place cleared out every time before her set was finished. Zzzzz..I went cause there wasn't anything else to do in my town..

[@brandonboggs2656]

Rick West was WAYYYY better but shes cool.

[@XxGyromancerXx]

She's a stuck up bitch and sucks like another person mentioned.

[@patticakesskinlab9203]

Sorry but Mary Anne is not that great without Icey. She has gotten a crappy attitude over the years sadly too. She used to be a friend of mine but whoa got a big head. Love her music with Icey as the Producer but without him yikes
