[@richdjclarkee4338]

One of the most intelligent and talented, not to mention funny and caring dudes I have ever met. Incredible times with one of my favourite people to work with.

[@leelockwood3258]

After watching this . F@#k me ! It's about the music .......

[@cohenguest8619]

Clarkee you Sharkey made the technodrome an perfect double act thanks for giving me the best party night at helterskelter legend

[@eremiteghost1572]

His hardcore tracks were some of the best for around 96. Still hard and no cheese. He also said one of your sisters was hot on a mark eg tape. always made me giggle that, just very out of place thing to say

[@starwarsroo2448]

[@stevesspiders]

He saved my life at a rave once. Had a bad pill and I was crashing hard iin a corner. He picked me up gave me water and get me help. Fucking legend

[@BlandNutz]

That wasnt Dance Paradise Rushtria 1996 was it,mid way through that set he starts screaming "first aid " over and over telling clarkee to stop the music,the mix comes back after a break.

[@davidjones9549]

There were a lot of people going timber back then. I was at Tiffanys for that DP event. Was wicked!!

[@darrenbaker73]

MC DJ Producer.... I know him as John.. A True legend.. We partied hard and I don't think the Rhythm Station days will ever be replicated!! Thank the Lord I was there.. All of you that were there you know what I mean!! Take Care...Smiler x

[@toffeeapple4145]

Hope he gets better soon. Pregabalin is evil shit

[@DJ.Jon.G]

The man talks a lot of sense about the Hardcore scene taking itself too seriously now. However he does appear to be at a rave in a dinner jacket! Lol :-)

[@JamaicanMeCrazy86]

Threw a bottle of water over me at the front in the technodrome and then got told off by Ribbz. So many class memories of the guy, one of the best.

[@Khryptic]

hahaha Sharkey is as mad as depicted in the bonkers album covers. love it

Jack and Gill went up the hill to fetch a pail of E's. They got to the top, they dropped the lot, they're rushing off their trees. Jack and Gill went up that hill to have a little fun. But Jack fell down to the ground and Gill went right on one. RIGHT ON ONE!

[@Christoph-George-LePape]

TheWaynelds SCOOORRRRPIIIOOOOO!!!!

[@jayrave4]

Big up Sharkey - MCs are holding the modern Hardcore scene back! Darren Styles and Gammer don't need them at EDC and nowhere else does too. D&B was built around the MC so it flows naturally - that type of MCing doesn't work at Hardcore events and it gets in the way of the music. As Sharkey said, MCs like Ribbz and Marley kept it minimal and complimented the music rather than overpowering it...

[@TheWaynelds]

Haha I was just listening to an old mix from 97 with Sharkey mcing during dj Scorpio's set. At one point, Sharkey shouts "CAN SOMEONE FIND ME SOME SPEED PLEASE!!!" and later burps into the microphone.

Hard life wot a brill album

[@SlapDashVideos]

Fair play! Loved Sharkey causing chaos in the '90s. He smashed the shit outta the Technodrome at Helter Skelter each and every time. 💥 Albeit off his face, still a very refreshing and humble interview without any front. 👌

[@danieljansson964]

Now I understand why they pictured him like they did on the Bonkers albums.

[@seed883]

Just an absolute legend and everything spoken in this interview was the truth.

[@whynotagain3639]

I'd do anything to experience a night like we used to, back in the day. A night at Bagley's, Labyrinth, Camden Palais, the Sanctuary, the Drome, even at Castle film studios with Sharkey's Wax City lot...Future Dance lol. But the scene had thinned out a bit by then. Like my hair now. Lol

[@jackins2000]

No matter what Happy harcore will never die. I remember 90's and mostly German scene (Blumchen, Perplexer, Charly & Theo among others) and it's been My life since. Keep the Hardcore pride alive!

[@vinnyterry4741]

Mc sharkey fantastic mc, his rhyming and timing was spot on, such motivation in his voice as if he's down there on the floor going crazy still listen to mc sharkey with Clarkee, druid, hixxy and vibes from the Dance paradise multi events ❤️

[@martinn1090]

Last rave i went to religion bournemouth. Said hello to him had to shake his hand my 1 favourite djs he was all good gave me time of day respect legend.

[@BeckyHTID]

One of my favourite humans this lad! I bloody love you Jon 💛🖤

[@jackins2000]

One thing tho: NO DRUGS! Never! I don't judge others, just My way of life. This wonderland music is strong enough.

[@Boxydj]

Sharkey is a proper legend I've never been a massive fan of mc's but at skelter in the technodrome sharkey and ribbz were the best mcs just hyped the crowd and didn't chat shit like a lot of the hardcore mcs do!!

[@ragasdapper]

I was never a fan of Mc's until i switched to DNB in 2000

[@grahamgibson2093]

Dave the rave at the beginning of the video...rip

"Sound of the techno, giddy-giddy-get go, we're gonna blow your mind...we're safe and sound we're touching down, my DJ Druid in your town...just-a-takin' ya down".

[@TheTinoXL]

Big love to Sharkey! Rhythm station lives on in our hearts....he's the druid, he's the wizard, he's the magical man...

What a legend the MC Sharkey off his pickle as per lol long live the Rhythm Station Aldershot epic😉

[@liamhudspith8691]

Best mc of the 90s fucking unreal always let the tune flow then come in when he needed to

[@GJ_Droneography]

Miss those days, wish we could go back just for one night

[@stuartwilletts4277]

Fucking wicked Mc. On a saturday nite in a little club in sunny sunny Bournemouth named Madisons Druid was the main DJ (there were only ever 1 guest DJ) that nite. There was no mention of Sharkey. So when we heard him the club went mental.

[@anthonykelly9842]

Rhythm station Aldershot 🥰 miss those days haha

[@maianugent2477]

Used to do pirate station with John and loopy ,Billy bunter , hixxy & brisk etc there all the same ,up for the vibe and just human beings having a laugh and a giggle .good times 👌

[@carolhall7891]

Sharky is right the 90's was a hell of a lot different to now, they hardly dance at raves today from what I've seen. And like he said the music was so much better, it's why I still listening to the 90"s stuff. Listen to DJ DNA Flowed on a Vibe (Toy Town Nobby & Big ears) so much more diverse musically than todays music.

[@hamfan76]

I’ve met Sharkey on a few occasions and he’s funny a f##k and the best Mc ever. Pills and happy hardcore are shit now. I’ve not been to a rave since 2004. Long live the 90’s

[@neilwatcham8932]

Anyone seeing this now in 2023... Rythem Station was the best raves ever.. £10 on the door for all nighters.. pills were pucca, people were even better...

[@hamfan76]

I agree with you 100%

[@MarkAnthonyHawkesSITH]

Sharkey’s just a fierce ol’ boy! 😂 Can someone take me back to the LEGENDARY Technodrome.......... P-LEEEEEEEEASE! 😘👊🏻
