[QUOTE="brixtonite, post: 358753, member: 3206"] I was too young for the first wave of music... anyone under 30 these days would have had to have looked a lot older than me back in the day to get into any licensed gigs in Essex. I looked fresh faced (no joked about how fresh-faced I may or may not look these days you b'stards) :( Never got to any of the original raves - I am somewhat displeased about that :eyebrow: All I could do was rely on the pirates and the local record shops (which, thank the lord, were run by true underground bods)... 1990 I was working the shelves at the local store - the older lads would come straight from the raves on a Saturday morning for the paperboy stock-up shift - totally out of their skulls lol, asking me if I had my personal stereo and speakers so we could have some music on the shop floor. Haha, how jealous was I... grrrrr. 1991-94 for me... I caught the tail end of the decent early techno/breaks n bleeps when out bopping away, got a grounding in the pre90 classics from the pirates - the Essex and London clubs from 92 onwards (Oscars Clacton, Monroes Southend, Elevation, AWOL, UK, Lazerdrome, Labyrinth, Tyssen St, Telepathy, Desire, too many to mention - 94 holds a special place in my heart as that's the cream of the proper 'club' scene, before it went all pear shaped in London and promoters forgot the old school vibe - which was what it was - sorry, IS all about... No wonder there's a strong undercurrent of old school revival in club land at the moment - and long may it continue. ...Onward Old School Soldiers. Your Country Needs YOU. (flipping ell, that bottle of wine got to me didn't it) :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
