Ahh yes, one of the most energetic and smile inducing tracks, i can still recall after a hard nights seriously edgy Techno and Hard Trance in the Asylum, this would be dropped at say 7am and the place would come to life like it was 11pm the night before.......amazing

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

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.

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.

Posting this up again if anyone has never come across it, don't know when it was written but it must be at least 20 years now if recall the first time I read it,

Ravers Manifesto

Our emotional state of choice is Ecstasy. Our nourishment of choice is Love. Our addiction of choice is technology. Our religion of choice is music. Our currency of choice is knowledge. Our politics of choice is none. Our society of choice is utopian though we know it will never be. You may hate us. You may dismiss us. You may misunderstand us. You may be unaware of our existence. We can only hope you do not care to judge us, because we would never judge you. We are not criminals. We are not disillusioned. We are not drug addicts. We are not naive children. We are one massive, global, tribal village that transcends man-made law, physical geography, and time itself. We are The Massive. One Massive.

We were first drawn by the sound. From far away, the thunderous, muffled, echoing beat was comparable to a mother’s heart soothing a child in her womb of concrete, steel, and electrical wiring. We were drawn back into this womb, and there, in the heat, dampness, and darkness of it, we came to accept that we are all equal. Not only to the darkness, and to ourselves, but to the very music slamming into us and passing through our souls: we are all equal. And somewhere around 35Hz we could feel the hand of God at our backs, pushing us forward, pushing us to push ourselves to strengthen our minds, our bodies, and our spirits. Pushing us to turn to the person beside us to join hands and uplift them by sharing the uncontrollable joy we felt from creating this magical bubble that can, for one evening, protect us from the horrors, atrocities, and pollution of the outside world. It is in that very instant, with these initial realizations that each of us was truly born.

We continue to pack our bodies into clubs, or warehouses, or buildings you’ve abandoned and left for naught, and we bring life to them for one night. Strong, throbbing, vibrant life in it’s purest, most intense, most hedonistic form. In these makeshift spaces, we seek to shed ourselves of the burden of uncertainty for a future you have been unable to stabilize and secure for us. We seek to relinquish our inhibitions, and free ourselves from the shackles and restraints you’ve put on us for your own peace of mind. We seek to re-write the programming that you have tried to indoctrinate us with since the moment we were born. Programming that tells us to hate, that tells us to judge, that tells us to stuff ourselves into the nearest and most convenient pigeon hole possible. Programming that even tells us to climb ladders for you, jump through hoops, and run through mazes and on hamster wheels. Programming that tells us to eat from the shiny silver spoon you are trying to feed us with, instead of nourish ourselves with our own capable hands. Programming that tells us to close our minds, instead of open them.

Until the sun rises to burn our eyes by revealing the distopian reality of a world you’ve created for us, we dance fiercely with our brothers and sisters in celebration of our life, of our culture, and of the values we believe in: Peace, Love, Freedom, Tolerance, Unity, Harmony, Expression, Responsibility and Respect.

Our enemy of choice is ignorance. Our weapon of choice is information. Our crime of choice is breaking and challenging whatever laws you feel you need to put in place to stop us from celebrating our existence. But know that while you may shut down any given party, on any given night, in any given city, in any given country or continent on this beautiful planet, you can never shut down the entire party. You don’t have access to that switch, no matter what you may think. The music will never stop. The heartbeat will never fade. The party will never end.

I am a raver, and this is my manifesto

Yes, if I am correct, that the first stairs leading way from entrance to DJ Booth in basement, on the way up the 'The Skag Room', which was absolute madness.

You hear a lot about the hedonism of Raves, that second floor was Hedonistic, Lawless, Madness, and anything else you can imagine.

Drugs, Guns, Knives, Fights, Sex, Alcohol until whoever decided it was time to close.

You did a walk about!

I did the exact same years ago and took photos also, have them somewhere.

Now i think my brain is melting after all these years, i was in Temple of sound a handful of times and for the life of me i could have sworn in my memory it was almost literally next door to the Ormond.

Never got as far as the System or Shaft, but i do have a live recording of the shaft on cassette somewhere that good friend of mine at the time gave me.

Was in Grouchos once, the atmosphere didnt hit it off with me, seemed to me to be a very elitest/judgmental buzz in the place from minute you walked through the door.

(But in saying that, i did have a skin head, Three quarter length leather jacket, Levis jeans and Air Max, so now i kind of understand!:))

Yeah didn’t particularly like the vibe in grouchos a bit like the POD, never quite felt comfortable.

Walking is pretty much all you can do these days

Francois and Dean Sherry in the shaft were class. Had a good few tapes but no idea what I did with them.

Its hard to keep track of it all!

Thankfully there are threads like this to remind us of people, songs and places. I had forgotten all about both Ormonds, was in the Multimedia Centre more than the Hotel. Had some great nights in there!

TheAsYLuMkeY · 18-01-2021 6:19pm

Its all coming back to me now, Heres a story i posted years ago on the Asylum/Oldskool thread,

I was drinking in Graces in rathmines one evening & overheard a few lads beside us saying to some other lads they were going to some 21st in the function room in the Ormond hotel, anyway, they headed off & after a good skin full of drink & a few doves we decided to invite ourselves to the party.

We got to the doors of the hotel & told the door man who asked if we were residents that we were here for the 21st & he let us in.....needless to say we got a few strange looks as we didn't know anybody there. Anyway the party was just over when we got served a drink at the bar so we decided to go for a ramble around the hotel & into the fire stairs (which has access to all areas of a premises for emergencys).

After a bit we eventually following the sounds found our way into the Kitchens of the hotel as far as i recall which was surprisingly completely empty with a set of double doors that when opened led into the TEMPLE OF SOUND!

That was one amazing night, we pushed the doors closed behind us and slipped into the crowd, when we looked back across the dancefloor we could see security had come through the doors looking to see who had just been through them but it was to late, they just slipped back out and pulled the doors.

Now i know this sounds like bull**** but its true, great adventures back then.

Haven't been on boards for a while, drifting away as I get older...

I was watching this clip of a rave from the early 90s earlier this evening and I actually for the first time felt like it was something very distant and no longer part of my life. I have to say that felt sad :(

It really captures what it was like in the thick of it on the dancefloor, the different faces of people off their heads in whatever shape or form. And the whole spirit of youth, which again is very much fading!

Ha ha man, I have noticed the same a while back. I think its that natural shift with age when you move into that mature phase. When the structure of your brain actually does change. However I didn't feel sad about it and always remember the music will always remain. I still have all my music stored away to listen to, albeit mostly digital now. Was just listening to Nikolai today doing a bit of DIY. I remember first hearing it and was blown away, felt very like that today. It got the death at one point on the airwaves. But the vocals man 'Are you ready to flow' unreal because under the influence of a dove i felt like i was flowing, floating, free. ah the memories, great to be part of it. It was a big part of my life for so long. But hey man you will recover and the sadness will turn to pride and satisfaction among other things |||

HI All,

Great memories and tunes on these threads!

Anyone got the artwork pack that was posted a while back with all the photos of the murals that were on the walls in the Asylum please?

Thank you. Saw this on tele years ago and it always stuck with me but I never knew what it was called.

Anyway, going clubbing tmw night for the first time in 5 years. Dnb gig in xoyo, ram’s shimon headlining with a classics set. Buzzing.

went to a lot of dnb gigs in the late 90s and early 00s in Dublin (bassbin in switch the most common) then moved to London for 10 years to experience more.
