Great article, very educational

Oscillate was such a sick night, but I do seem to remember most people doing Speed rather than LSD. The club nights at Bond's were immense, saw so many awesome live sets at them. I remember my first allnighter being an oscillate event at the Que club. Clubbing was such a totally different vibe back then. Met so many amazing people and the subsequent Nights they did in the early 00's were awesome.

To be honest I never went to Oscillate - my experiences of hearing that track were at Club Dog type events or little things in Brighton. But yeah, I missed out how much speed was going around - a gram of base and a microdot was my combination of choice. My friends from up north used to refer to that as "the Geordie E" because it was a really cheap way of getting out of it for the whole night.

Jesus your brave. That's one meaty combo mate.

One of the things I actually love most about that time for me was not been a record buyer through that period. I have memories of dancing allnight to unknown tunes and being caught up in the euphoria of it all. I mean those nights were pretty underground in retrospect before the big Club boom of the mid 90's

If you didn't see, I also did a little rough and ready DJ mix of this stuff for LuckyMe... http://thisisluckyme.com/mixtapes/108-j ... b-mixtape/

That's one of the most interesting articles I've ever read on dance music, I wonder why there seems to be a collective amnesia of this stuff?

great stuff

Absolutely wicked article. Makes me so sad I'm slightly to young to have experienced all this. Think the closest thing i've got to it was a ketamine and mephedrone ridden warehouse party in 2008 in Brighton lol. Not quite the same.

I wrote on that topic here: http://notebook.veryverymuch.com/post/1 ... hippie-but

I can’t help feeling that a lot of this is to do with embarrassment. A lot of people who have been raving aren’t really inclined to put fingers to keyboard and type out “and after I’d seen God in a packet of chewing gum, I told a guy called Ian from Potter’s Bar that I thought he had the spark of all life in his eyes in a rare and precious way, had a discussion about how music was basically fractal, and then did a sick on his shoes.”

Because everyone was off their tree?

This one sticks out for me from that era...



Ozrics were also good value back then



....the 'Bass It' mix of this one is probably what started my love of bass music (can't find it on youtube tho).

There's an Ozrics track at the end of that LuckyMe mix ^^^
