Casuals? Yeah remember them too (this threads a proper trip down memory lane)

I recently bought the 1985 ICF documentary and it shows all this clearly, the interracial casual mob, jazz funk and not a Nazi Oi-loving bonehead in sight!

That is a seductive narrative but it isn't one that I totally agree with, especially when you consider the obvious split that emerged after Acid House became very popular. Whilst some (predominantly) white faces were screaming 'Acieeeed' other people were seeking solace with the Rare Groove/Hip Hop and blues party scene.

Didn't a split also occur as Acid turned into cheesy rave a la Prodigy. I remember a lot of Black guys down this way turning to the then emerging Jungle scene.

Subjectively I think the musical streams that emerged out of the initial 'hardcore' explosion reflected and started to draw upon (to some degree quite naturally) specific musical landscapes - as seen in the samples that were being utillised.

No, I'm talking about the clubs that used to be black (mostly Hackney area) and then Jazz Funk came alog and white people started to really get into black music. By the time of Acid and Rare groove the music had pretty much gone mainstream.

If you want Black clubs now, then go to the many bashment places around Kingsland Road....

What music was mainstream?
