  • Amazing dude!

  • Eric proves that we are in fact 70% water.

  • I have been doing liquid popping for 5 years but I cant have the rapid movements still like you do...you are one of the best synchronized one I have ever seen with the beat and the fluid movement of your fingers and arms.....

  • contrary to popular belief, this is not Eric in these videos. He wasnt even in the same state.

  • Damn this is the coolest shit ever, I remember seeing people dancing like this in the 90s but never this good

  • Haaa LPC yeah u know me

  • you are caguenge

  • Eric has been inspiring me since the first download of of Napster close to 10 years ago! Legendary!

  • Eric, this is still inspiring. Thanks...

  • DAVIDD!1!1!11!!1!

  • I think I've rewound that laser-hide routine on 2:50 at least a few thousand times by now since the video hit the net. LP, together with breakdance are the two only dances that express music physically to such high extent. In my opinion :)

  • @noiz87 dude i think all his fans have done the same. i used to just replay that all the time hahah. not big on breakdance but liquid is my shit for sure. keepin part of the old school scene alive piece by piece.

  • @ThizzMonkey420 And you get big props from me for doing so. We gotta bash these new "dancers" to the ground. I've seen more shittier dances in the past few years than on the worst hillbilly wedding in the middle of nowhere.

  • @noiz87 Yea man for damn sure! This shuffling trend needs to go. And I hate that everyone is getting into it. I straight get mad at my friends when they pull that bullshit in front of me. Its an emotionless and pathetic dance. Theres no creativity involved so everyone looks the same. just some people can go faster or randomly touch themselves somewhere on their body during some bass hit while doing it. Im glad some of the popular glovers and bringing digits back. Even if they dont really kno it.

  • @ThizzMonkey420 Yeah, it's a sore sight seeing all those.. didn't even bother remembering the names of those "styles", too many of them, none come close to expressing oneself. I've just finished watching Tron again, and the last line of the movie is somehow bitter and quite real "Well hello, programs". Folks programmed themselves into believing all the shuffling and ___stepping is awesome, impressive and worth learning. Just because they're too lazy to go the extra mile and get to where Eric was

  • @noiz87 agree 100% brother. takes crazy dedication to get to that point. and this other stuff takes a couple weeks to get down and suddenly youre a star with a circle at a party because youre feet can move backwards while the other one hangs in the air AND.... and, heres the best part... you grab your hat, all at the same time.

  • 11 years ago....jeezuz, i cant even remember how many times i watched this video.

    All i wanted to do in life was surpass him, then i broke mah hip, and stopped raving....

  • Too bad I didn't know there was so much hooplah over the track names. I knew the names of the first two tracks... it was the third track I could never figure out. The first track I got on a comp cd like 10 years ago. ^_^

  • anyone know the name of the last song?!?

  • reminds me of my old roommate...tall and thin, same type of moves, I remember watching him dance at the clubs and basically people were in awe...he had cool moves like dribbling a basketball, putting on makeup, dropping down to the floor on his back all of a sudden and then acting like he is pulling himself back up by a rope, pulling himself up to people like he was on a rope, etc... man those were some good times...

  • DOES HE HAVE A MYSPACE BY ANY CHANCE?

  • awsome !!

  • THE BEST.

  • ive just started liquid dancing like 2 weeks ago...LPC inspired me with there creativity :)

    & also

    my brothers and friends were ravers/housedancer in the late 90's-04 so i always kinda wanted to get in that scene :}

  • anyone know the second song by any chance?

  • #1 Total Eclipse - Direct Motion

    #2 Electric Universe - Visiting Venus

  • you the best i've been trying to look for these songs for years lol

  • i know how u feel ;)

  • @LiquidRush ...Thanks a lot man!

  • Is Liquid 'dated' as a dance type, considering this clip is nearly TEN YEARS old!??

    Or is it still fresh, because the 2000's have basically been & are still SHITE!!, with nothing new coming out that is revolutionary, & now real evolution.

  • ya Xoio Liquid is still very real..or least i'm hopin ppl are still doin it. i've been doin it for 8 years and TRYING my very hardest to get ppl to join me lol

  • Well, I was a raver for 6 years from 1994 to 2000.

    I can honestly say, that the way this guy Eric is dancing, is the way people could dance back in the day, in a rave in Toronto until about 2000.

    Before I went to raves, I did not think white people could dance. But when you went to a rave, the type of people who would go, allowed for full expression of self without giving a shit.

    The scene got too big, too fast.

    Now when I go out, when I dance I feel like I am dancing the charleston.

  • I remember from '99 - 00 was the best time and then a bunch of frat guys and sohos started coming into the scene and it got stupid

  • I use to hang at Ruby Skye in SF, Ibiza in Oakland, Space 550, Mission Rock and a million other places and I can attest to the dance art forms that existed, the music (house, hip hop, drum and bass, break beat) and really great people. Never ran in to any "frat guys" but did hang with SEALS, Marine Force RECONS and hard core locals from Chinatown and Oakland. I think it depends on the party and the DJ.

  • well, innovate then. don't know where you are but where i am it's what we create, not what's served up to us that makes things so good. we keep taking it to a higher level, evolving, etc. some things have passed by, like burning man - good luck getting the spirit of how it came up b/c it's disneyland for adults and has been for many years. link up w/ community and be positive. this guy has moves, old clip or not. like the bumper sticker says"be the change you want to see"

  • I am doing liquid popping too. Well, kinda mixed in with robot, so it's not pure liquid. I'm good, but there's more moves that I can definately learn.

  • It's underground, always will be. If you're looking for "fresh", stay out of our scene ;)

  • It's elitist attitudes like this which kills the scene WAY more than newfags

  • nah man it's cookie cutters who are always frakking up the scene

  • 0:16 - 0:18

  • awesome

  • Greatest respect ever.

    To the guy brought a rock fanatic to electronic and dancing.

    I see this video at least one a month.

    I just wonder what's art.

    This truely blows me up!

    Sincere thanks from Italy =)

  • I LOVE LIQUID, i need to post a video of myself and get everyones opinion.....i think im pretty dam after ravin for 8 months straight...but eric inspired me to learn liquid, ive watched this video so many times now lol

  • Great song, just ripped it from the CD to the computer, listening to it on lvl 10 and going nuts over finally having it.

  • LPERIC YOU MY IDOL!!!!

    got me motivated to liquid (well got me MORE motivated)

    liquid is best

  • Total Eclipse!!!of course!!ahh,French scene!lol!

    Thank you again,just fascinating!

  • what's the name of the track,please?

  • GREAT IDEA PAULYBOBS!this guy is a GENIOUS!ang it's a very good track!

  • why are people being so retarded....DONT GO IN FRONT OF THE PERSON WHILE HE'S FILMING

  • WOW.

  • ~~~~~Old skool Philly ravers??~~~~~~ Does anyone remember this venue?? It was said that this was filmed in Motion/Space off of Front street... but i partyed for years in that place and dont remember an arcade or spray paint on the walls. Only part I wasn't in was the 21 and over section. Is this it?? It doesn't look like Space at all to me..

  • It was filmed upstairs to the left of the bar against the wall.

    I was facing the dance floor and DJ booth across the way.

    LPE

  • The second part of the video my back was facing the DJ booth upstairs.

    LPE

  • The third part of the video was filmed out back of space in a huge tent they set up. It was for the opening party call PANGEA. Dubtribe Sound System was doing a live PA while i was dancing.

    LPE

  • Damn.. I didnt know all that went down upstairs.. I was really missin out. Too bad this venue is still just sittin vacant.. haha, you can still see the old triangle paint job from 95. It takes me back every time. Well thanks for the reply E, best of luck with ya brother.

  • Eric...i want to see more of you...i wish the lighting and camerawork were better ~sigh~

  • It looks to me like the video was edited and Eric's face was blurred... Wonder why...

  • ok guys u can find Total Eclipse-Direct motion only in soulseek dot a c o m m a nd o s,and now im popping like crazy.There are 2 version,(1)only 1 part of the original and it stop at the very best moment,the other is the one from the clip.THC

    The search is over guys. I just listened to it and its 100% confirmed. YAY!!!

    After posting on several sites, I had given hope. But today DJ Basilisk identified the track. I contacted him on Discogs, so thanks to him and also "Josephschembri" of Discogs for helping out.

    P.S. Second song is Electric Universe - Visitng Venus

  • as the title says. his name is eric. The dance-style is "Liquid Dance". And eric is the fucking Mr. Liquid himself..!

  • It's Eric! Duh, there's a several videos of Eric other than this one on YouTube and you can tell from the way he dances it's the same guy. Find Eric's profile on here and watch all his videos, he's even wearing this outfit in one of the others.

  • dude the sad part is, is that no one really know who is in this video.. i had people tell me they shot the video (a girl). i had someone tell me that a guy shot the video.. i dunno who it is... but this guy.. i doubt no one is the whole world is as good as this! his style is... just i dunno crazy insane.

  • amazing.. i love him WOHOO

  • This is just unreal...no words to express! Anyone find out yet what the first track is? Please!!!

  • Damn, that boy was locked in!

  • what's the second track that plays?

  • Electric Universe - Visiting Venus

  • cheers man.

  • Well, if you think about it, the video was recorded in March 99 (as you can see on the screen) and since Sly-Ed came out in 2000, so I'm not so sure it's got much to do with it now.

  • OK boys and girls. More info. as to the song. Check out "Man With No Name", CD title is "Teleportation",

    released in 2000 on Dragonfly Recordings/Cyberset LLC., 9 total tracks. There are a several remixes of "Sly-Ed" on the CD. One of the remixes is called "Lion King", sounds like a close match. I am begining to think that what we are hearing on the video is a DJ remix of "Sly-Ed". Simple as that. Comments? Peace.

  • Definately nothing to do with Sly Ed, its not even close.

  • whats the name of the track hes dancing too

  • Watching this guy on the Liquid Pop Collective dancing to "Edens Transmission" is what got me started back in high school killin it at the school dances...and i havent stopped since. This is a classic but i wish i could find the mystery song...

  • Man, i am impressed by not only his hands movements, his legs moving/leaping from side to side is pretty tough..

  • whoa that's hawt! :D

  • Good job! I've had this vid favourited in me browser for ages waiting to see if anyone can name the first track :)

  • I posted on Psynews in the Lost Tracks forum, but no replies yet.

  • Sly-ed does indeed sound close, I'm looking for remixes right now.

  • DOPE! we got someone else besides me on the hunt!

    ill get back here as soon as i find something

  • are you sure? cause this sounds nothing like "Sly-Ed" to me..

    well i hope SOMEONE finds the name of this track cause i've been curious about it myself.. lol..

  • your fuckin deaf. nothing like sly-ed? clean out your ears dude.

    sly-ed is the closest so far.

  • The artist who did Sly-ed is Man With No Name, gotta work from there, I think we're close!

  • Find out who dj'd that party ( if there were DJs) and you can figure out the songs maybe. But that can be alittle daunting.Perhaps someone who works at the club remembers...

  • well pickin' up on UFO said above I did a deep dive into GOA trance. I found a track that sounds very very close. It is, "Sly-Ed" from "A voyage into trance mixed by Paul Oakenfeld". Not 100% sure but the first half or so of the track sounds like whats being played in the arcade cut. If not, fuck it. I'm done.

  • Hell, someone email Paul and ask him!

  • it's not exactly the same man, but it sounds like a remix of sly-ed but then pitched a bit too

  • E is a very powerful drug.

  • ufo1216, I googled "goa trance", nothing. Wikipedia does have some cool links with samples of goa trance music made around the time this video was made, '98 and '99. Shit sounds a lot like the music in the first half of the video. I'll keep workin' it, when I figure out what the tune is I'll post it here. Peace.

    John

  • I saw this video in like 8th grade and ever since then i have been in love w/ trance and liquiding he really is amazing

  • it is not just the hands (which pieces together the composition of illusion)...this all over body ebb that runs like water...wonderful display of our 75% body composition that is human!  h2o

  • Eric does'nt know the name to the track either. It's the million dollar question!!!!

  • i still dont know what song that is when eric is liquiding next to the arcade machine. sounds like goa trance.

  • the reason why i started dancing

    and it changed my life

    thanks eric!!!

  • Eric- If you are amongst us, we humble earthlings, we beseech you in the name of all that is holy and give thanks to the Gods for your dancing ability. We ask only that you share with us the name of the song that was played while you were dancing in the arcade clip.

    Have mercy on us. We ask only this simple request in your name and that of the dance Gods. What is the name of the song in the arcade clip?

    With our most humble thanks and prayers,

    The Human Race

  • I have no idea. You figure it out you tell me...

    E

  • "Total Eclipse - Direct Motion"

  • First track is "Total Eclipse - Direct Motion"

  • Is this all shot from the same location or does he wear the same thing all the time?

  • This is pure sex.

  • this guy truly inspired me to start practicing liquid moves straight up....

  • holy SHITE this is some good stuff.... never saw this before, gotta practice liquiding a lot more from now on

  • Can someone please, please in plain english tell us all once and for all what the names of the songs and the artists are on this video clips? The entire free world would be forever greatful. Peace.

Eric your a genius I really miss your eye popping entertainment.(no pun intended, ok maybe just a little) Marke

  • QUESTION: Is this Eric from PHILLY?? it sure looks like him, does anyone know?

  • I've seen a lot of shitty dancers on youtube but this dude isn't one of them. Very good.

  • It's 808 state actually Ufo. And if anyone wants to know this song I suggest you spam the video link to various electronic music forums and see if you can get any replies because SOMEONE must know who did it. Then report back, lol.

  • I saw this before, and strangely though when my friend muted the track and played Satisfaction instead

    it gels nicely, as thought he was dancing to it. This guy is awesome n neat
