DJ Ellis Dee Feat. MC MC - Fantazia The Big Bang 27th November 1993

As we head to the end of 1990 as I remember it, I was living in a place called "Isle of Dogs" to be named in the future "The London Docklands" I watched the DLR grow (Docklands Light Railway) and saw the early erection of Canary Wharf, with its blue wrapping and a rather large crane! 

Sundays we would head under the Thames in the foot tunnel to Greenwich which was like heading in to a different world, street acts by The Cutty Sark and the hippy & spiritual markets were in full force. We were listening to Fantasy FM on the regular and paging in. LFO and psychotropic "out of My Head" take me right back to those days.

My brother has started promoting events in Linford Film Studios  Battersea Called "Faith" with DJ's such as Steve Canueto, Marc Aubach, DJ Hyde from Fantasy (who we became friends with) G Force (from Fantasy) and many more. The music was a combo of UK House 'n' Techno with a lot of Euro (some featured on here) but I'll be doing a Faith party mix very soon.
His parties had a broadcasting company film the events and one particular with DJ Elaine and BSB (British Satelite Broadcasting) who merged with SKY, he was filmed completely off his head when they interviewed him yet it still went out :))The Faith raves  were very successful, he built up and crowd and a mailing list (which was eventually stolen by a lighting guy called Paul) ro run their own events, I think they became Coalesce or something like that from memory.

1990 The lost years, rave pushed in to venues/clubs.

SKIE-THE END OF 1990-***VINYL***30 YEARS OF SKIE/MY RAVING YEARS

E.S.O.R - Rave Greats Mix Series Vol.11 - LEROY Leroy Parkinson
How it started...I was first introduced to the breakbeat & hardcore sound by local DJ’s Rob Fender and Justin Campbell but to express a million more words I’ll just tell you they gave me a copy of this set https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_z6H4ySa_Yand if you know -you know..
Pre Raver...My earliest experiences with rave music were at a place called The Factory in Perth...not a rave or a club, but it felt like both and it was where you went to hear the rave DJs when you wereunderage- Hutcho, Packer, Briais Trevor dobbo. Rob Fender, Miggy were just some of the names. The Factory was legit enough that you could ask your parents to drop you off and pick you up after. Then I levelled up to Elevations....went for the underage opening at 8pm and stayed until the overage session closed at 7am. I got beat up, loved up and fucked up in that place...Loved that place to catchDarren Briais and Greg Packer...and loads of internationals....CarlCox, Digweed, Sasha.
Eclipse 1...was the first real rave I attended. I was hooked before I even got into the venue. I remember being in the massive queue outside whilst thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmqcI_VoiQQwas playing, which rattled the whole tin warehouse. It was theSource of course!
Revolution...was the first rave I helped put on, along with DjRewind and the hills massive, it was my first real Dj set. We hired the venue for “a wedding” wink wink. Imagine the owners surprise when they popped in during the setup of scaffolds, PA and golden scans hanging from the roof! We said it was a “rave-themed” wedding. Had a full house when 5 police cars turned up and shut us down at 5am.
Raggabone & then Gravity....I was buying records long before I had any desire to hit the decks. I just loved spending most weekends just hanging out at record shops hoping to train spot what local Djs had in their stack of records After enough pestering, Rob & Lisa booked me to Dj on the second weekend of Gravity. I was rewarded with the highly anticipated 5am set - after Dj Highlander. I got thereat 10pm - and realised at 4:50am that Dj’s had to bring their own headphones. I had to go home. Started my set at 5:30am - best 30mins of my life!
Luck...I was lucky enough to play most weeks at Gravity, and alongside some amazing local Djs such as Rewind, Menis, Kev, Dair, Finesse, Jay, Rosko, Q-ball, Echoic, B-Jam, Packer, Rob Fender, Fuxxy, Versetyle, Sniper, Corruption, Splinky, Freestyle, Rousa, Hutcho, Subsonic As a resident at Gravity I was lucky enough to support most of the international Djs too [insert giant list of cool names here] I really enjoyed playing a jungle set at Gravity Xmas party each year and at the Mad Hatters Ball. I even played in DC’s a fewtimes. I also played at lots of non-Gravity related raves like Sting nthe tail, Lost the Plot, Calibre, Hard Boiled, Helter Skelter, Twisted,System 6, Random Logik and on the side, I also put on events withMenis under the name Fireball Productions, Perthquake, and withKev & Phil & Menis under ‘Easy tiger’ and ran a regular hardcore night night called ‘Elysium’ for a while. Good times.
Gravity truly was the home of Hardcore !!!!
About this mix...whilst I'm best know as Happy hardcore Dj in the90’s and early 2000’s this mix is a story about what influenced me from those days at The Factory and Elevation as a raver, right through to the early years of happy hardcore as a Dj at Gravity. I hope you enjoy all the shades of rave in this mix, and massive respect to Jayd for ESOR.
Hardcore will Never Die !!!!
Lastly thanks to my amazing wife Lisa who still buys me records and has spent 1 Million hours standing in Dj booths and at various sweaty raves with me - oh and for having to listen to my 1,000attempts of recording this mix.

Dream Magazine was launched in 1995 covering the UK happy hardcore rave scene. By mid-1997 the magazine had diversified to cover other styles of dance music and also had a mix-CD on the front every month, typically featuring happycore, old skool hardcore, D&B or trancecore. The magazine shut down in early 1998 but relaunched as Dream UK Magazine in October of the same year, still with a monthly cover-disc, but only lasted for half a dozen issues. This CD got absolutely rinsed when I was younger, sublime by Nick Grant this. Dream Dance Magazine was a must have for anyone into the Rave Scene in the 90's and the cover CD's were just amazing for a freebie.
