    Excellent video, really captures the Ravers feeling from the people in it,

    Check out the guy at 08:56, i know exactly where he is at, he randomly walks over to two guys and shakes each of their hands, ive been there, ahh man,

    It was like respect, love, peace and a wink and a nod all in that handshake, it was amazing when you felt this immediate sense of closeness in the Rave, like you all knew each other always or something.



    And the white gloves.......despite what people might think about them now, they did serve a practical purpose, whther he was using for this i dont know, but i remember from the Olympic that people that had white gloves on like that had them doused in vicks or olibus oils and would be breathing it in off the gloves to give them a rush,

    Top one, Nice one, Get sorted..........:)

    Top one, Nice one, Get sorted..........:)

    Or what i should have really written,

    Dont make me wait, dont make me waaiiiit.....E Vapor 8!!!



    Coincidentally, Altern8 turned up outside Shellyes one night in a curtain sider truck at the end of the night and started to play an impromptu gig.

    Got about 25 minutes out until the police shut them down........

    I have an MP3 copy of it that is just over 31 minutes in total and i have on cassette from years ago around 1992 that was about 25 minutes.

    Only seems to be 15 mins of it on youtube,

    Meant to post this a couple of weeks ago. This was the first dj mix tape I ever bought. Didn't take to it at the time as I was more into the uplifting house/early prog and trance sound. Skaggy ****e I used to call it.

    Rediscovered it a few years ago on youtube and loved it. Really deep, dark acid/techno, it's up there now as one of my favourite mixes

    Okey dokey. I have no idea why this one popped into my head today but I've been trying to get the lyrics right so I can google it. Early to mid 90's vintage I reckon. Lyrics along the lines of "My nine millimetre and my nine inch Peter, my nine inch tweeter makes the speaker sound sweeter".
    Would have been heard regularly on Sunshine FM and various nights in the Mansion house, RDS or Point iirc.

    I got an answer on this one 6 years ago but have forgotten it again due to my advancing years :(
    I found the reply but it was only a youtube link, which is now dead.

    Anyone remember it?

    Glad saved this webpage a good while back, when it comes up now in a search, it is paid subscription only from the Irish Times,

    When ecstasy was dealt openly on the Dublin rave scene
    From the archive, 1994: Five undercover gardaí were offered drugs on entrance to Asylum nightclub
    Sun, Oct 13, 2019, 06:00

    Una Mullally


    A page in The Irish Times on April 20th, 1994, didn’t exactly paint the nicest picture of the Irish music scene.

    In the Dublin District Court, the manager of the Asylum nightclub in Dublin was jailed for two years “for allowing the drug ecstasy to be openly sold to people as they entered his disco”.

    Undercover student gardaí told the court how they were offered ecstasy in the club. The court was also shown a video of “known drug dealers” using the staff entrance. Joseph O’Neill, then 23, was jailed after pleading not guilty.

    O’Neill was pretty resolute about the reality of clubbing in Dublin at the time. While he didn’t give evidence in court, he told gardaí in his statement, “if there were no ecstasy there would be no rave discos. If there were no rave discos there would be no ecstasy”.

    Five gardaí who partook in the surveillance operation were all offered drugs as they entered the Asylum club on different occasions. One Garda used marked notes to buy ecstasy from a dealer, which were then recovered from the dealer’s person.

    The judge, Thomas Fitzpatrick called the club a “den of iniquity” and sentenced O’Neill to the maximum for the offence, essentially saying he was making an example of him as a deterrent to others. The previous November, as part of the co-ordinated surveillance on the club, ecstasy and LSD worth £3,000 was seized from the nightclub. Thirty people were arrested and 12 charged.

    The Asylum was a landmark club in Dublin’s dance music scene. A three-storey building with a reddish-pink front, inside it was all minimal lighting, smoke machines, with brickwork painted white, and arched, church-like windows on the top floor.

    In describing the club on his own website back in 2007, John Braine recalled, “It bore witness to the first batch of E casualties, burnt out ravers desperately chasing that initial rush, the dawning realisation that nothing this good lasts forever painted across their jaded faces. However, a fresh batch always arrived to fill the void and this new crowd kept the balance in check.

    “The Asylum also welcomed in a new batch of DJs. Dilly, the then Northern Ireland mixing champ, took residency in the Asylum along with Dublin’s Ed case, Warren K and Pressure. The club’s eventual downfall was its very open display as a drug haven and it was soon shut down.”

    But in the summer of 1994, the club was still, remarkably, open. And on July 3rd, when a fight broke out outside around 4am, it was reported that a 17-year-old man was shot in the stomach during an argument between what was reported as rival drug dealing factions. Several people were arrested.

    The following August, another case was up in the Dublin courts. Jason Dunne, then 19, had been beaten up inside the club the previous summer, and “he was bleeding profusely from the scalp and neck when seen by gardaí to raise the pen-gun to eye level and discharge a .22 bullet at an angry crowd at Sackville Place outside the club”. He was jailed for seven and a half years.

    Notes on Rave in Dublin, a 2017 documentary produced by DCTV and Rabble magazine, detailed aspects of how rave evolved in the capital. While Flikkers at the Hirschfeld Centre is often seen as sparking the genesis of a new era of dance-focused clubs that moved away from cheesiness and focussed on quality music, also in the mix were Sides, the Asylum, the Olympic Ballroom, organised raves at the Mansion House, followed by the Temple of Sound, G1, UFO, and then the Kitchen and the POD.

    Today, the battle for Dublin’s dance floors has become a driver in the discourse surrounding gentrification in the city, with the largest music-focussed dance floors now outside of the city centre, such as a the events District 8 are booking at Bodytonic’s Jam Park in Swords, a venue rave scene innovator and stalwart Mark Kavanagh recently described as having “the best sound system I have ever heard in an Irish club”.

    Rave on.

    ...and not Love is Energy? Forgot about that tune, used to love it, still do


    I recognise its worth, but my rule of thumb would always be whether i can see myself playing it at a gig or party, i wouldn't play this myself.
    Came across this one recently, never knew what it was called


    Wow, big thank you for this, this was one one of my favorite tracks in Sides, never knew the name of it.
