[timtrek]

GET THE DRUGS OUT

[HarrysSecret]

That copper is right at 9:38, not everyone took e, or anything else.

I often went with just my camera, and boy do I have pictures that could ruin careers now!

Good job I don't know who the hell those people were!

[cosine303]

DJ RAP? yer the career junglist..lol.. not in it for the music

[M4dMo77o]

Can someone please Id the choon @ 0:22 please .. It aint praga khan .. 

[justinium77]

@M4dMo77o

Relapsed (Intense Mix) Urban Hype. Yes, Urban Hype! You heard me right. Best tune they released. Well compared to that pile of shit "Trip to trumpton" anyhow.

[M4dMo77o]

@justinium77 No wonder I lost the Id to this CLASSIC !! Hahaha , mate your a star ;-)> BIG UPS !!!!

[townheadfury]

I had this on video.Sure I saw Smokey Joe working in bass generator record shop.

[davidsan01]

Superintendant Pape is luvdup!

[JamesGraysStudio]

ah the cops love the drug money

[TheNaomiengland]

THis is my time

[Stakker]

That cop at 9.15 is a sound fella.

[VegassTrades]

@Stakker too right man, he's got his head screwed on. Not obsessed with power.

[Dawg54bc]

memories :P

[GVike]

The DJ with that CLASSIC Arsenal shirt/jersey heh heh heh...

[NewAgeEagles]

man those cops, thank god for sane people

[TheMark6969]

how things have changed.the big businesses have cottoned on to the marketing and advetising possibilities.if that was the case back then you wouldnt have had all the opposotion.i mean all the "festivals" are basically raves just renamed,you can go to glasto dance tent and look at the crowd completely fucked up.it pioneers like theses guys that paved the way for the modern gathering.

[TheTracer73]

drug pushers loooooooooooool I don't remember needing any pushing, sooo funny

[strandwolf]

That's one righteous old cop at ~ 9:00 .

[danser01]

"Drug pushers are out and about".. haaaha..

[Dolsign]

Modern culture was shite in '89, that's why Rave culture happened because of a cultural climate i.e. unemployment, new music and new drugs. People were fed up of the stuffy yuppy attitude, designer suits and Stock Aitken and Waterman led Pop music.

Rave culture could happen again any time we want it to because the cultural climate is right. Raves were banned and moved to clubs because the government thought it could make money from alcohol tax. No brainer they should have legalised MDMA

[Hammersmith80]

@Dolsign From personal experience the house movement went down the shitter after 1989. Yeah I got sick and tired of designer suits and SAW too, by the same token I got tired of how the underground scene turned itself in to a commercial shit-fest. The site of people wearing face masks and waving glo-sticks signalled the end of it for me. Kiss FM were part of the problem, thankfully alternative house kept itself alive during the nineties - the hardcore break-beat formula hasn't aged well at all.

[TheBahnhofskino]

Kraftwerk is not noise - what is the dj talking about???

[TheShunter78]

Alan Pape is sound.

[535manbearpig]

hahahahahahaha ahhhh nowadays this is like very club..very nice to see the culture and the way people took it back then

[afg29]

I happen to think there were plenty of drug pushers that made these events happen Dozey arse's........E= Happy Times. F****ng Bozos!!! This culture was House Music and MDMA (E) whatever you called it. That was the mix, nothing else!!

[1sashenka]

I happen to enjoy the scene as much as I did since the late 80's, too many winers who say it used to be better and now its crap. The only thing I can think of that is missing is the freshness factor, music is produced way better, of course now there is more people who think they can produce good music. It seems most people just grow out of it and say it sucks now, I happen to love it still, no complaints here. Good film!

[PatrickPlan8]

Time to play some Underworld and understand that Iggy Pop isn't whats cool anymore

[t1mTV]

9:01 holy shit, a pig who makes sense? he must have been fired shortly after this.

[Yidman01]

Seriously whats worse? A rave with no attitude and good vibes or every town centre in the uk every weekend now, with drunken fights, stabbings and feral kids running wild?

[leecoste75]

thank you 4 this, i remember this, i had it on vid on watched it a lot, loved the tunes, and that blonde lass, Dammmmmm

and the robot dancers, smokey joe, mc b jam (from wear fm)

BIG UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[samilliw1]

I WAS THEY, I JUST DON´T REMEMBER.

[bobbydj01]

@samilliw1 I STILL AM THEY.

[AdmiralBoom76]

What is it with the "we know what's best for you" attitude?

[Scherer321]

throwing my first rave with a few djs in a basement, hope to achive the same energy as a see in this video :)

[erictheviking871]

@Scherer321 you will.

[willyham72]

[spektreumek]

[noobyloopy]

[MrGuvEuroman]

How cool is that old copper at 09:00 : D

[marbrifox]

Remember taping this on vhs when i was 13 years old.How it helped change my life for ever!Many times 2 of the tunes in this documentary have come into my mind while im fucked and i alw ays say im going to find em so lets get on it.Theres one with the robots dancing in the 3rd clip and then theres the last tune meditation.Dont make tunes like these any more or partys and lets face it the people also seem to be a dying breed too.Bring back the snowballs,disco biscuits,pearls,love doves etc.

[21stCenturyDub]

Hardcore will never die.

[Jaseperry]

It makes me laugh these people syaing about drugs at events like these, of cause there are drugs around but are they so naive to think that no one at live aid or big events like that were of their heads. great film Boris

[bissia]

I used to visit some back in the early 90's but I wonder are there any raves these days in the UK or are happenings in the fields today all official festival things and legal commercial stuffs ?

[Jaseperry]

@bissia there are still pocket of raves goin on in the country mate. I think Norfolk is the illegal rave capital these days these days get your self down there, Check out Brainz kan on myspace.

[miniGMgoit]

@bissia They are still very much going on both in the country and in the cities (London and Bristol defo). A quick google should cure your curiosity. But yeah, still very much going on and well attended. Its all very messy these days though lol

[TheLONDONsound]

nice job on this

[DeathtoAmeriCANTS]

Holy shit...that cop at the end was actually INTELLIGENT. I guess theres a first for everything!

[letallnf]

What's the track that starts on 0:22??? It seems of Joey Beltram, then, sounds the prodigy with charly i guess.

[BassGoesBoom1]

@letallnf track at :22 is called Urban hype feat mikee B - Relapsed (General Surgeons remix)

[qualityholiday]

Love it

[waterboyrob]

its a RAVE

[ToddTerrible]

friends of the eternal transe dance movement take a look to "lartderaver" (the art of rave) 1990-1992 a Dance Magical Trip made in Paris oh la la !!!!

[MrNamvc]

classic comment "the police views scenes like this with anxiety " lol

[typ237]

Is Smokey Joes mixer the one that DJ Jazzy Jeff helped Gemini to design? It looks kind of rubbish.

[dutchhywel]

does anyone remember a tune that was out around 93. i heard it on a tall paul tape. it began with a sample taken from an early drama/film, made for tv, about rave culture. the sample says about an end of the millenium rave[fiddlers dream the end of the millenium]. he goes on to describe the various tents and then at 12 oclock you pull this string and all the tents lift up . if anyone knows what the fuck i,m on about let me know

[schuletrip]

@dutchhywel Errrmmm-Nah

[MrGreg187]

i remember bpm on itv was class showed all the raves like evoloution and fantazia

[DJJ3M]

7:00 look at that mixer lmfao o_O must of been proper skilled to mixer with that...

[manicbassa]

everyone is wpied lol

[JLF74uk05]

i recorded this in 1993 wicked it was on the beeb

[djduchesse]

Caption at 1.20.........Good pills lads?

[hotmacmjc]

[charley1965]

Great days

[flux1969]

Those where the days, we had fun and the police just stood by, no trouble and everybody went home happy.

[1861robertelee]

The copper at 9:00 is a closet raver. Nicely said mate.

[oldskooldancemusic1]

cool vid mate

[Smiffster2006]

89-95 great times and it was fantastic to be in your late teens/early twenties then. Never once saw any trouble at raves. A copper at the time told me he preferred policing raves over town centres full of drunks anyday as all the people were loved up and were no trouble!

I feel sorry for youngsters today, what have the poor bastards got other than P. Fucking Diddy and eating plant food.

[spektreumek]

@Smiffster2006

You've summed it up perfectly matey!

[1861robertelee]

@danser01 : "eating plant food", that is a fookin classic. Miaow.

[bassbox4]

Ne1 no the choon @ 0.20?

[robfisher1]

gurn

[blustardave]

i was there with my altern 8 mask on ,and my glowsticks...oh and vicks of course..lol...great days...

[KIMBOSLICE66666]

agree where have they gone

[kolakube123]

haha - drug "pusher"

Like anyone used to "push" them on me. I used to seek them out. Did that make me a drug "puller"???

haha

[SirCalvingunner]

@kolakube123 dude that's the funniest shift I have heard in quite a while. Props

[kolakube123]

@SirCalvingunner

Just being honest mate. I can actually remember dealers being called pushers back then too. haha, great days back then.

[calzowned]

watch out everyone the kids are dancing their asses off and having one hell of a time

[mcgooligan]

It's great you guys still appreciate these times. It was a fantastic film to make, but I wasn't responsible for the voiceover, it was added later by the BBC to suit a middle aged audience. I made this film in 1992 - the police were dead genuine and I could only find that one woman who objected. Good times!

(I'm the filmmaker, Boris Mcgooligan.)

[Slooober]

@mcgooligan Thanks for the post, ill change the date and add a link to your user channel!

[syncopated84]

@mcgooligan AWESOME! glad to see this 18 years after you made it... and people around the world are viewing it. Thanks for documenting history!

- Mike (California, USA)

[Interplay]

@mcgooligan Amazing early insight into what's now such a crowded scene.

[raisecain]

@mcgooligan Do you have the citation for this? Date aired... etc? I would love that info as I am including this in my MA thesis.

[spektreumek]

@mcgooligan

Memories mate. Great Documentary on BBC 2 if i remember right. Thanx for sharing it, i could'nt believe it when i stumbled across it.

[HardcoreHarryUK]

@mcgooligan great work mate!! love this :)

[CurtisTuch]

1:31

9:00

Is it a cab driver?...

AhOh O.K. it's a policeman.

[HardcoreNuttah]

what's the tune at 8:27 ?

[TECHNORAVE10s]

rave music

[capsule001]

The tune at the beginning is Mikey B and Urban Hype - Relapsed (Surgeon Generals remix) And its a brilliant tune ; )

[booshpower]

I WANT TO GO TO A FUCKIN RAVE

[Scherer321]

its amazing :)

[welshhibby]

"Its a Rave...."

And I wish it was 1989 and I could go again...modern culture is shite

[garffi3]

@welshhibby Gotta worry about the guns & knives now not drugs

[TheadventuresofHenk]

@welshhibby fact 

[stkcarm5]

@welshhibby

you are so right man, these days they're using electro house and this electropop shit and nu rave and calling it rave. And calling these electronic clubs and concerts with high prices raves. Bullshit. Raves are free and fun.

[martimotion]

decent copper @ 9.00ish, more of them would be a very good thing. now if 20 people meet up with a common interest (like photography for instance) they run the risk of being stopped/searched, you cant even attend a demo now without the riot squad ketlting all & sundry untill some one dies . oh wait, that happened, rip m8. democracy is dying. get off your arse as mr lydon once said. peacefully

[djoutrage18]

what's that take me to  the top tune at the end?

[djoutrage18]

it's a rave. 12 hours of non stop dance music. That is one hell of a sample!!!

[ConsortOfLilith]

They were the days.....dance all night like an idiot and could not walk the next morning. ohhh yeahhhhhhh

[GavinW1994]

tune at the start samples 'charly' by the prodigy

[akafunky]

that sound is created originally by the juno alpha 1 synth...first big track to use was second phase mentasm...noise is also called the hoover

[shot2bits4ever1980]

pushers ? they took it coz they wanted to ...lol

[boxerdawg007]

NOCTURNAL 92'!?!?! ahahah!

NOCTURNAL 09!!!! lol

[nineinchnikk]

I went to a dyslexic rave the other night..

Somebody sold me an F

[HJ10]

[nineinchnikk]

[lovespoiled]

RICH IN PARADISE hit it....

[raveakidd]

OH MY GOD!!! wats the tune near the beggining at 0:22

[CapiTen10]

[Nibster213]

"It's a rave" and they wre fucking brilliant, doves, new yorkers, apples. Abd guess we're all still here, no mental issues. Big fuss about fuck all, like we didn't know.....

[rhinonose]

[soggysock666]

The cop who starts talking at 9:02: in a nutshell!

[InnesIroncore]

what're the chuckle brothers doing there at 1:18?

[RobDeManc]

Drug pushers?? I don't think anyone ever had to push drugs on someone at a rave. LOL

[rudinyo100]

yeye lol

[Stakker]

Who's this fucking clown? Smokey Jo? He knows fuck all about the music or mixing by the look of it. What a chancer.

[RpKingman]

I think his mixing is ok. It was the film producers who edited the sounds.

[widdy2007]

actually its MDEMM - GET DOWN

[cameal555]

this was made in the early 90's! they don't know that its called MDEMM.

[Tote1883gas]
