YOKEL 2,127 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 (edited) This is how we used to do it...couple of my mates off the estate used to put on the "proper stuff" raves from around 90/91. Still matey with a few people from that scene. Eclipse/kite high/Braintree barn etc. A couple of the dj's from back then have set up a little thing that gets together about three times a year. Proper old school. Has to be on vinyl and between 89 & 91... http://youtu.be/ybApmWTM0CU?si=MCkk5zHekc7YPWat Yokel Edited January 7 by YOKEL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
downsouth 6,848 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 HadAll this lets bring the old days stuff just dont do it for me and i finnd all the nostalgic Back to the 80/90s stuff a bit too cheesy.A mate invited me to one of them Centerforce dos a couple of years back and it was just a load of over the hill tough guys ans theier bleach blonde,fake tanned,full to brim with botox birds dreseed in silly hi viz accessories shuffling around to some Djs that I liked back in the day.Ellis D ,Ratpack,Billy Bunter etc but none of them played a single track different from 30 years ago.I tried but had to go after an hour.Saying that I still follow some old school origional Djs who still have their foot on the pedal.Colid Dale is one of our favourites,First heard him on Kiss FM when it was still pirate.Then pal came down from Croydon to pay at one of our parties and ended up staying down here and started bringing Colin down.Then through the 90s we always went to his nights called Knowledge at SW1 club in victoria.He still plays a completey fresh mix of house/techno/acid and most sets hell drop in just one or 2 old school bangers.A couple of others similar are Leyo and Bushwacka aka Matthew B.Mr C origionally from the shamen.Justin Robertson and the best Ive seen who unfortunately passed a month after I saw him who was an absoute master DJ as well as a producer and remixer was Andrew Wethrall. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No over the hill tough guys or their bleached blonde bimbo's here. Just around 100 max like-minded people of a certain age listening/chatting and dancing to three old djs who'd been in the thick of it around these parts playing some absolute bangers! It's a guest list only type of thing, and if anyone dared turning up in a hi Vis, white gloves or blowing a f***ing whistle, they'd be promptly shown the door! ...oh, I also see Andy (Weatherall) a few months before he past. At the red rooster festival of all places, playing old 60's rockabilly type stuff! A great (and very messy) few days... Yokel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YOKEL 2,127 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I go most years to rooster, my cuppa tea that. Funny enough, it was one of my mates who's to do with the little "reunion nights" I mentioned above who gave me the heads up Andy was going to be playing. He was quite pally with him, think they'd played a bit together way back when.... Yokel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
