Rave eh. Prodigy and Ebeneezer Goode isn't it.
Eclectic and resourceful they really did pick everyone's pockets (sampled everything), including each other, even James Bond theme music. The poor old Korg M1 that got passed around got the worst of it!
Minus internet points for any references to dustbin and car alarms, Prodigy, Shamen, Sesame Street and It's A Rave Dave. Mitigating circumstances considered for tracks used in recent TV adverts. Double points for remixes better than the original!
Watch your bass bins I'm tellin ya......

Remix better than the original?

@Mister-P Yeh John Graham didn't do much wrong. Double points for the FP remix it's always the one that pops into my head.
Ah the good old days, when Tunes had hair and a neck
Another big one
Not an oldie but a recent Foals remix that reminded me of a 90's rave track and it's also much better than the original track.
You guys need to tell me if this is proper rave, but it fits the bill for me...
If I forget who this one is by or it's name, just put "Nicholas Parsons rave" (RIP January 2020) into the youtube search 😀
Intro NSFW.
Best mix (so better than the original)
Remember the good times? Don't you want some more?
Oof.
And unrelated to the previous post (ahem), but how the hell do I get a video to embed? I wrapped the URL in video tags but it did not embed, despite several attempts / general flailing around.
It doesn't need any special formatting just copy and paste the URL.
. cant believe this hasnt been posted yet.

also not rave, but too good to leave out
...now where did i leave my vicks?

Couldn't find them all, probably have some of the wrong remixes too. But I tried.
Not sure it was truly rave, might have been D&B, maybe someone like DJ Hype, but I think there was a track that sampled 'This is the voice of the Mysterons, we know you can hear us' that I think I remember but can't find. Or did I imagine its existence?
This one still makes me shiver... in a good way 🙂
And a couple more...
Good work @stwhannah this is what we pay our subs for not stories about the latest bike pants.😉
I quite fancy writing about the latest bike pants. Though not the modelling of them by Chipps and Mark.
The drop...
A club classic
Works great on the guitar too😛
@greatbeardedone - urban shakedown, how have i missed that! i remember loosing my mind to it a a raindance rave in Leicestershire i think it was
as we appear to of strayed off rave & hardcore into classics of the time - this was huge on the free party scene, beloved by ravers and crusties alike!
and a shelleys classic for friday afternoon
and one to keep the back line bouncing....
and if you didn't have a copy of this tape theres questioned to be asked if you were even there!
must stop now
I remember my sister heading to an all night rave years ago and she brought me back a mixtape from the night (I was too young to go so instead would listen to Pete Tong at the weekends while she went off clubbing and to raves). These are the only two tracks I remember from it.
Whilst I have concentrated on the apex of the sound "Hardcore" from around 1992, seems so quaint now! and is interchangeable with Breakbeat. Rave is all encompassing and all sorts got played at 90's raves.
For example:
Hip Hop at a rave
Early Trance derived from Techno before it went all supersaw, that Three Drives track above!
Is it House? Incidentally missed off the playlist because it appeared as a link not a video for some reason?!?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGNKdhSQ9Po
Defo Prog House
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jR-TD8NWSE
Loads of Acid House throwbacks and early Jungle Hardcore crossover tracks.
It's all fair game IMO.
What about bleep? Had Breaks Bass & Bleeps on cassette, well played.
Piece on BC about it recently:
https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/uk-bleep-and-bass-feature
There was a few niches/placeholders. I'm sure there was one called 4-Beat, think it was what became Happy Hardcore. Less said about that unfortunate offshoot the better!
SMD#1 mashup walked that line reasonably well.....
Anyway nighty night beddy bye byes and we still haven't done moribund James Pond playing with knives.
@sofaboy73 Thank you for the 'Sasha 1' YT link.
So many good memories attached to that mixtape.

Check out the old school raver you tube channel, it’s full of classic mix tapes you’ll know inside out
DJ rap has some good mixes up on YouTube atm.
Repressed:
Remix of Sooth My Soul. Pushing the remit a bit what with it being Jungle and not particularly proto!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOm9t_5wlKk
Reminds me of a bit of trivia from about 10 years or so back. One of the big old-skool Jungle labels Moving Shadow were such obnoxious arses with people on YT, in the days before all the corporates and their handlers locked it down! To repay their arseyness someone posted their entire catalogue of HQ vinyl rips as a set of torrents for all who wanted it.
Had this stuck in my head since watching Spaced S1 ep6 this week.
There's more truth in the five mins or so of its club scene than any other screen depiction of club/rave culture.
Made me come over quite emotional, it did. Go and watch it if you have Netflix.
How's everybody feelin?
I booked DJ Rap at Manchester Academy back in the early noughties, fantastic DJ, played proper party sets as opposed to the 'product pushing', own label type of fare that was the habit of nearly every drum n' bass DJ by then.
Where it all began..
I remember being at the Hac the first time this was ever dropped by Mike Pickering.
A track from the current Paris/Berlin rave scene made it onto Radio 1 a few days ago:
Listening to this mix atm while listening to a training session.
Not there yet!
A few had cult status but were largely too repetitive to actually listen to now!
2 BOASTERS, A DIGESTIVE & A JAMMY DODGER - We Are About To Take LSD
Noise Factory - Who Are You
80 AUM - Mindcontroller (No Sense Version One)
Kromozone - The Rush (Sub Bass Mix)
Mate from college used to record london/essex pirate radio stations (cyndicut/pulse) that I'd listen to death to (Big shout out to Squid. Squid the fish.) Talking of Pulse... heard this on there along with Andy C up there.
