'91 - '95 RAVE Celebrations

Worth, P6

Ok, so I've been feeling a calling to set this group up for some time... let's see where it leads. I was out raving back in the day and had the best party years of my life in the early 90's. My first raves were illegal parties in fields, which soon switched to regular trips to clubs like Sterns in Worthing (best club in history) and the odd huge event like Universe. I used to DJ at clubs many years back, and have my decks and all my vinyl... I still love the music with a passion. Nowadays, in my late 40's (alright, literally 50 soon to be honest), I venture out once in a while to a club (usually down in Brighton) enticed by the promise of an 'Old School' night of rave music. Usually I'm massively disappointed with the choice of music played there and end up leaving before the night is over. I just keep feeling like - 'there must be other people out there who want to go out and hear the huge selection of incredible tunes that used to lift the roof off back then... surely!' So... I would like to set up some nights (or daytime events) where people can come along and hear the very best hardcore/breakbeat music from back in the 91-95 rave era. In my head, I have this idea of running nights or afternoons where we pay respect to certain record labels or styles... or take a progressive musical journey through from 91 to 95... or pay homage to a particular year ('back to 93' etc). I'd like to set up a simple visual as well which would show what tune was playing at any one time...title and label, for those wanting to know. I have an incredible selection of tunes from that period, and I have the turntables... but unfortunately this isn't enough. What we need to make this happen is a bit of a network of people able to add something to the pot. We really need - 1\. Anyone with contacts regarding a small club / bar / events venue\, that would let us set run events for a couple of hours a month at least\. Day or night\. Venue would need a reasonable sound system, with the ability to link my decks/ mixer/ monitor speaker into, 2\. Anyone with good social media skills for spreading the word to the RIGHT people when events are scheduled \(this is important as we want good natured\, like\-minded\, true fans of the music to attend \- so this can be a safe and loving environment\.\.\. as it used to be\)\. 3\. Plenty of people who love to dance to the music from that era\, to come along and enjoy some great celebrations of the 91 \-95 rave scene \!\! The only thing I can promise, is the best quality tunes... absolute belters, one after another.... no dull fillers....and decent mixing. Anyway... like I said, I have no idea where this idea will go, but you don't know until you put it out there sometimes. Life has a funny way of responding to that. Join the group and I'll organise some online or face to face meetups for us to bash our heads together and make a plan.
