[FluffyVanWinkle]

Harvey Keitel! I loved him in Monkey Trouble!

[KIN3SISS]

[halunke122]

legend scene!!!

[kerry5101971]

Alas, this was made at the beginning of the end... I cringe to think of the uber cheesy, corporate version of clubs that are now "thee place to go to" in NYC now.

[postalaka]

So many good nights in there 

[gosia68usa]

The good old days!

[md991free]

@gosia68usa Limelight in NYC, Liquid in Miami and Viper Room in LA were the hottest club during the go go 90's.

Can you imagine a modern version of student 54 in NYC? The craziest club of all time.

[techniques2k]

Anyone know where that breakbeat come from? Heard it in loads of old Rave/Hardcore tunes of the early nineties.

[techniques2k]

Yes! .....Finaly found the name of this tune. Thanks!!

[bluelimelight2]

Good times

[djrepete]

It was me djng. I spun every Friday night at Lord Michael s Future shock the name of the song is Ya-Ya's-Looove (Quadromania Mix).

[Asmordeus]

@djrepete I love you. In the most non gay way possible.

[jungletekno]

So no one here knew the first track... Thats OK I researched this that whole night I posted that comment. The folks on Back to the old school message board knew it and its called "Looove (Quadraphonia Mix)" by the group The Yah Yah's. I bought it as soon as I IDed it on the Discogs market place. I couldn't be happier. In fact I made a Bad Lieutenant tribute mix which starts with the Yah Yah tune followed by the Lords of Acid "Lets get high" and then another 60 minutes of limelight choons.

[MsMeeska]

@jungletekno, I think you mean Looove (Quadromania Mix) by The Ya Ya's

[jungletekno]

Does anyone know what version of Quadraphonia "Quadraphonia" this is? Its not the original version and I certainly don't believe its on that record at all. It may be some sort of pre Naughty Naughty Grant Nelson bootleg ? Since Charly Cassanova was the DJ and also a good 'ardkore producer perhaps its his own bootleg that he made himself? Anyone? The second track is Lords of Acid "Lets get High", thats not the one I'm speaking of.

[juvser]

@Asmordeus it is in fact lords of acid--the song is called let's get high.

[XtremeDance10]

man the style was so ugly back than..lol thank god for armani diesel express and so on.. this new generation is better, and also more attractive.

[luckykid89]

@XtremeDance10 I disagree. A lot of those brands, and most designers at the moment, take inspiration from this very time period. Late 80's/early 90's are all the rage right now in the world of fashion. :)

[waitingroom05]

@XtremeDance10

Couldn't disagree with you more. People, especially women, looked GREAT back then. Look at modern hair "styles". Today everyone looks like they had a fight with a lawn mower. Today's style draws inspiration from all the BAD elements of the mid 1980s

[harderizbetter]

BACK THEN YOU COULD DANCE WITH 10 LADIES ALL NIGHT, ONE EVER TIME A RECORD WOULD CHANGE DOING A LOT OF GRINDING AND NO ONE WOULD NOT SAY..MY GOD HE'S ALL OVER ME OR ...GET OFF ME...THE MUSIC PUT YOU IN THE MOOD AND THE GIRLS BACK THEN WAS ALWAYS HOT.

[ilikeitfunkee]

i remember waiting in line for an hour in 20 degrees for HO 4 @ the limelight back in december of 2001...everyone was paying the hot dog vendor $20 to skip to the front. I came down with a mild case of hypthermia...the extasy wasnt enough to keep us warm so we started a fire and all hurdled around it while in the line....i remeber how odd it was because in order to get the discount rate u had to bring 3 cans of food...and so i brought cans of fruit...finally got in and the party was on

[scottotv]

that's Nicky D (tall lanky guy) this looks like B roll we shot for a movie role, possibly Bad Liutenant?

[kirkaraya]

I bet it's Dj Charley Casanova mixing that friday night at the Limelight, cause on saturday's he would play at the Palladium.

[mjmoto72]

@kirkaraya no that was lord michael.s future shock. i used to go there on fri. sat. and of cours disco 2000. dam i miss those days.

[rog809]

old schoool raves ufff

[ShannonAvalon]

LOVED THAT CLUB!!

[fuckinpartyman]

wish i was there!

[gesc1200]

been there, did that!! LOL..

[jungletekno]

This is not the original version of Quadrophonia "Quadrophonia". This is a much harder remix with breakbeats and other added nuances. I have no clue what this version is but its much better then what I've been used to hearing.

Anyone know what 12" this remix is on?

[Asmordeus]

whats the name of the artist of the music playing in this?

sounds good

[quicklung]

Quadrophonia - Quadrophonia 1990

Search Youtube for it loads of mixes of this came out around that time and is a classic!!!!!!!

[Asmordeus]

You're a legend, Thanks :)

Although i just want this version really, but since there's like 999 remixes of it, i don't think i'll be able to find this one lol

Although it sounds like theres a few sound that remind me of Lords Of Acid. Ah i dunno, thanks again man

[quicklung]

ahhhhh thats because i presume the DJ is in the mix and mixing a lords of acid tune into it!

[Asmordeus]

orly

[ecs177]

at 41 seconds into the clip, you can hear turntable # 2 mix in with the 2nd track. The continuity of the music stops for a bit when another camera / mic starts filming at 1:05. At 1:20 you can clearly hear the driving beat from turntable #2 mixing nicely with the breakbeats of the first track. By the end of the clip at 1:31, the crossfader is almost entirely on track #2.

[bblucero1]

Great clip! I miss this club!
