It wasn't oldskool then, and it wasn't until marketing PR corporate music wankstains thought oh look we can make money here and wanted to genre-ise something for the masses to consume. Fuck me SONY didnt even make vinyl at any of there record labels for years as they didnt make turntables.
Fuck em we didnt need em anyway as we made our own tunes. Slammed onto a dat, cut em onto acetate and spin off 50 copies of vinyl that got slung around a few mates and played out. If people liked it then maybe, just maybe if you had the cash you could get some more spun off and they'd go out round to some independant shops. Not that it mattered cos everyone was after taped sets anyway. At the start it was about playing out and throwing a party it wasn't about the cash. Yeah the cash came into it eventually once the promoters came into it but it was still about holding the biggest and best Rave you could.
The criminal justice bill came in and took what we had and helped force it mainstream if it wanted to survive. Which has led us to the superstar cunt head dj's and over inflated prices. THEY call it oldskool !!!
So fuck em its Rave, its about the culture, its about the fight to party, its the scene. Its not what SONY and there fucking ilk wanna call it. So that they can put it the right section of Virgin Fuckin Records
My defence rests yer Honuor
Yeah I know I go all doughy Eyed about it all BUT it was my Fucking life man. I know a CD cant give us all that back again. But FUCK ME does it trigger off some of the best memories of my life. And Im sure there at least another 20,000 people out there that will feel the same.
The whistle posse blowing !!
This really makes me feel like i missed out on something amazing by being too young to go out and experience it, i remember wearing dummies and whistles as an addition to my school uniform but had no real idea why
. Oh well i had grunge i suppose Fizz can i listen to your cd when i come up next??onenameshelley said:This really makes me feel like i missed out on something amazing by being too young to go out and experience it, i remember wearing dummies and whistles as an addition to my school uniform but had no real idea why

I'm sorry to say I started going out when I was 14 and had years of being on a mad one A few of us are getting together to try and find a good night like what they don't do anymore... You should come along if any still exist
djbombscare said:Its on CD 2
Yeah Ratpack couldn't mix a bag of dolly mixtures really.
But thats the point. He couldn't then and he cant now and when your off yer face in a tent you really dont care and no-one ever gave a shit.
So its proper Rave back to a field style
Lechlade was fucking ace. I think I played kicks like a mule about 30 times that night. . . every time the coppers came sniffing round
Yer names not down yer not coming in whop whop whohwopwha wop wop.

I dont remeber them taking over touchdown. I was a bit spangled round that time and turning a radio on was probably too much like hard work
