I was born in 1984. I am 19 now. I wanted to be able to rave away 'back in the day'. I LOVE THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My cousin used to do a bit of DJin when i was about 6. I used to have a little go, i was crap, but i loved the chooooooons. I now go to as many Old Skool nites as i can. Ive just started goin to Hazydayz in Liverpool. Im from the wirral so its easy to get there. ITS QUALITY

I would like to have been around in the rave warehouse days. But theres nothing we can do about it. Just trying to make the most of it now.It does get fruststrating tho when people talk about how brilliant some of these oldskool nights were back in the day.

Been there, wrote the odd chapter too, but it dont really matter, coz even now if you go to the OS nights that are about........... you still get the feeling ect ect...........
and the fact your there means your taking part................
The Atmosphere back then b4 the drug wars was SO relaxed, like being straight and going to a gay night these days ect.
everyone there to dance ect ect, no attitude, no brawling just tunes and decent e's............
then............... ??
Well we had fun.

I used to think that I was born too late, but you know what, Id give my front teeth to be 19 again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Not only can you listen to the tunes, but you can listen to them for a good few years more than some of us on here will be able to! lol.
Im thinking of setting up a OldSkool Retirement home, glow colostomy bags, false teeth whistles, a good set of technics with Jamo speakers set to 'blast off' volume for the deaf buggers, nobody would wear slippers - only converse and fila's, bomber jackets would be compulsory and of course a dj booking every friday of the masters like 75 year old Sasha, 79 year old John Digweed and a 83 year old Carl Cox spinning those old 33's and 45's.
Wishing youre older is never a good idea, because once you realise how time flies faster and faster the older you get, you will be wishing you were younger x10 factor to what you wished before!!
Oldskool is good, but would I wish 10 years of my life away to have been there? Would I fudge.
Know what I mean/ lol.

Can understand how u feel tho. I think its a symptom of every generation. I was lucky to be 'old enough' in the late eighties and have friends that introduced me to 'House'. Plus I had left home by then - so I also could go out all night without getting into trouble with the folks...
I often think 'what if I'd done even more back then?'. I'd have loved to have gone to the Hac in 87/88, or what if I'd gone to Shelly's when Sasha had just started playing there? I curse sometimes the fact i'd missed a tune at the time and nowadays it sells for huge $$$ or wonder that if I'd given a different demotape to a different promoter, then things may be 'different', that I'd not bought more tapes of the nights I'd been too (or not taped over some of those that I did!!).
Even more so I'd love to have been around in America for the really early House scene in '86, or at least been able to receive WBMX!! Better still, Electro in the early 80's or for Disco in the 70's.
I do seriously wish I'd seen Larry Levan and Ron Hardy play live tho. That's something I'd deffo do if I got my hands on a time machine.
Fact is tho m8, we are where we are. I'd not change any of my experiences for toffee, and the same would be said from people who experienced the Hippie, Disco or Punk times. I wouldn't wish your life away. You're doing a lot of what people who drove the house scene in the UK did back then - experiencing 'old skool'. Only difference is that their 'old skool' was Northern Soul, Funk or whatever. That inspired them to push the boundaries further and further and do some amazing things.
You come to Hazydayz. I can say that the last two nights we've done have come scarily close to what it actually was like back then. You're in an enviable position to us 'arl arses'. You can draw on that experience and go out and turn it into sommat new if you want too, just like people of your age did back in '88.
Right, Sirius - book us a room with a view onto the grounds of your retirement home will you, where I hope you've set up a 'fairground' which actually consists of just the waltzers, plus a big top thats knackered and leaks, but proclaims to be the 'biggest and best in Europe' and you've said you've booked fire-eaters, trapeze acts, laser robots and the like when in fact all you've got is a few people who can walk around on stilts for half an hour...
