    Yeah I get ya alright, that's why I said it adds to the charm - just straight up [dodgy] mixing with no editing! In fairness also he did go on to be pretty decent at his mixing anyway, was always spot on also with track selection and building of sets etc.

    Heres a load of billy nasty i saved from the last thread just in case anyone missed it & it came up again,

    Got a copy of that release myself a while back...well worth it. If your into new releases of old material, check out the recent Sub Love eps that contain unreleased stuff from 93. Some of the unreleased tracks like Rocket Science and A Better Place are class, but aren't on utube yet (at some point I may get round to uploading myself). Also, you can't go wrong when the eps contain these 2 beauties...(although makes me kind of gutted that i paid top dollar for the originals!)

    Ah now seany, wasnt my bag at all & i was only in there twice overall but it was the place for some, es-cee lived in it, tolerance is the only way forward seany:D

    Or we may have people talking ill of the Olympic again;)

    true true;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 830 ✭✭✭SEANYBOY1


    Met David Hales, the man responsible for starting the Olympic last Sunday night.
    Sound bloke and still loves his tunes today .

    This Rave to the Grave is being taken literally, who wasnt there oner the weekend. (apart from Warren K n' Mick Walsh)




    Here is a sample of the Mark Kavanagh set from the Vaults last Sunday night.
    Sound quality is muck, was done using a digital camera but you get the idea. Will put up another few clips soon;)

    Sides may have had mismanagement problems but this was towards the end, as far as im aware there was only 1 death outside and not a couple as this says and if anything Sides influence by 92 was up there with the best clubs in Ireland, it was far busier in 92 than it was in 1990,although 90 still holds a special place for me. :)
    I hear ya jonny, SIDES was hopping right up to about mid 95, sure mid 93 as we were departing the Olympic for the ASYLUM the queue outside SIDES at 3:30am was huge at the back door, place was absolutley still rocking 93 into 94, dont remember any deaths outside it myself, not to say it didnt happen just dont recall it.

    a mate of mine who used to frequent sides, from the early days of the house scene here when liam dollard was the chief, said it was never the same after mick walsh and warren took over the reins. he said the whole vibe of the place totally changed, and it was nowhere near as good as the 1990-92 era, when it changed to gravity or whatever it was called then.

    Hmmm, i was never in it 1990-1992 but, seeing as how peoples perceptions of any given venue that was open for a long period is typically that they prefffered it when they first started going to it i would say yopur mate is talking from his perspective, and that perspective is 100%, to him.

    I started going the Olympic in 1992, by the time it was closing it had had a totally new influx of people & change in music, it didnt quite seem as good, even though we had moved on top the asylum mind you, than when we first started going.

    Also, the Ormond went from a fairly underground venue to fairly mainstream, certainly wasnt as good near the last 6 months of its life as it was around 1994/1995 but to the people who had juust discovered it in 1996 onwards it was irrelevant what my persepctive of it was in 1995, to them it was fúcking top notch.

    Its a matter of perspective but people who see a transistion of a venue, as opposed to those who frequent it near its end, will always feel it lost its appeal over time.

    EDIT: Apart from the ASYLUM that is.:D

    probably woulda been better tho, if it had remained a house club tho, no? the stuff warren and mick were playin was getting played in the asylum snyway, so there was really no need for another venue of that type really, was there?
    i mean, if it had stayed exclusively house, with the likes of dollard etc djing, it would have been more variation to what was already a booming club scene, instead of hearing the same tunes circa 92-95 in different venues, hich makes no sense to me.
    as for the ormond, i have heard also (as i never experienced it myself to know 1st hand) that it totally waned as soon as clubfm took over the reins there and hard house became the focal point, with keno flanagan & dj orbit taking up residency for their weekly house special nights. was this when you noticed a change as well then?

    I only frequented SIDES when Warren & Mick were heading it up & i have to say that there was a noticable difference in the tunes that they played in there than the Asylum, now granted a take your point, they wernt as house orientated as the Line up that preceeded them, but it wasnt anywhere near as hard edged techno/trance that was being hammered out in the Asylum.

    To be honest about the ormond, i never knew who the fúck was on most of the time, same for the Asylum etc, but the place (Ormond) accelerated away from Underground style to really almost club wanting to be in the Rave scene style near its end, if this was when the lads mentioned took over then, yes.

    True! When I heard the last night of the Ormonde mix that's floating about my first thoughts were they're not the Ormonde sounds that I remember. All the others (UFO, Sides, Grouchos) I went to only occasionally - once a month or so. The Ormonde I went weekly, or twice weekly for a couple of years. Ended up getting barred but soon after my mates who went in said it had gone to hell with Hard House and/or commercial rubbish.

    Same here re Sides. Can't really remember exact year I first went but it was either 93 or 94. I do remember Warren being on that night and instantly he became my favourite DJ back then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,614 ✭✭✭es-cee


    yeah, you defo right key, it will never be the same for the peeps who've been there from the start of something, once even the most minute change has been made lol.
    the only thing i have from back then, and now btw, with irish clubbing, is the total lack of variation in music. its been house, trance & techno at the helm for the better part of 22 years now, maybe?
    i know there have been the odd club here and there catering for drum n bass or dubstep (these days) but thats it really. stale comes to mind when i think of those 3 genres above now, especially the way trance went from 97 onwards.
    if the ormond were still open now, with the way its been described as leaning more and more towards the mainstream towards the end, i think headline acts would include van buren and everybody's fav, tiesto lol, cringe at the thought :eek:

    EDIT: in a way i'm glad the temple is gone too, as i would hate to see those two playing there, and the way irish clubbing is today it would be inevitable.

    TBH, never! ....never went out to watch a DJ scratch,wouldn't get me out, imo scratching is an ego thing for the DJ not the crowd , that and it gives him something else to do between tunes ;) , not saying there's no audience for it, I know loads of peeps like it and i'm probably in the minority,just me personally I prefer the tunes & the mixing.

    The scratchin I could probably handle ........ the MC woulda drove me to the exit door though!

    If I could pick & choose I'd prefer a gig where the DJ just amazed me with a full on set of mixing savage tunes ..... no scratching, no MC, just 2 hands, 2 turntables,pile of vinyl ...........and 2 white doves :D (for me not the DJ)

    i'd say ya are in the minority then with uk tunage tbh, nearly every hardcore tune back then had a scratch sample of some sort in it (and you call yourself a hardcore raver, '92 ? :D) as for the MC, he is shíte, but then again, so are most. if it weren't for the dub reggae crowd, MC's wouldn't exist, so fúckin shame on that lot! i like hearing a dj mix it up, i like hearing, and really appreciate trick mixing as well as scratching. the thing i absolutely hate above all else, is a dj throwing so many effects over a mix, that ya can't tell where one tune starts, and another ends. nowadays with some, no all dj's, its mega build ups & drops, nothing else, and its really fúcked it up for me i must say, do not enjoy it what so ever! one thing i will give hype tho, he uses his own skills, no stupid amount of effects to get his set across, its his own two hands and nothing else. i really can't get over dj's throwing copious amounts of 'reverb' over a tune that has too much in it to begin with, its totally ridiculous imo, and just don't like it!

    yeah, you defo right key, it will never be the same for the peeps who've been there from the start of something, once even the most minute change has been made lol.
    the only thing i have from back then, and now btw, with irish clubbing, is the total lack of variation in music. its been house, trance & techno at the helm for the better part of 22 years now, maybe?
    i know there have been the odd club here and there catering for drum n bass or dubstep (these days) but thats it really. stale comes to mind when i think of those 3 genres above now, especially the way trance went from 97 onwards.
    if the ormond were still open now, with the way its been described as leaning more and more towards the mainstream towards the end, i think headline acts would include van buren and everybody's fav, tiesto lol, cringe at the thought :eek:

    EDIT: in a way i'm glad the temple is gone too, as i would hate to see those two playing there, and the way irish clubbing is today it would be inevitable.

    It's hard to know Sean if the demand was ther for hardcore/Jungle.Ok you could argue that ther was'nt an awful lot of promoting for this type of music weather it be on the radio or i clubs.But i do know from my own experience that i was actually into hardcore/jungle/breaks n beats and i did have tapes and ther were 1 or 2 radio stations that played it 1 being coast fm which i've mentioned beofre.But i could never find 2 many people that were in to it meself.Any of my m8s who were into dance and clubbing just did'nt like it at all.As i tried countless times to get them to listen to it at parties or on coast fm.But they just could'nt tolerate it.

    but then on the other hand, how do ya think i got into it? i was nowhere near old enough to know about rave let alone listen to it, but older cousins of mine used to make weekly trips to the uk, and bring back amazing tape packs. it just depends on who ya knew back then ace, and obviously the peeps you knew were alot more close minded in fairness. i still play mixes at house parties to this day, to peeps that have never even heard it before and they love it!
