This song fucking sucks but ol boy is GETTING DOWN. Looks a lot like a form of HOUSE DANCING. What's more funny than how old this video is UNDERGROUND HOUSE CLUBS IN CHICAGO people still dance a lot like this, and those that dance at the calibur as this dude does come dressed similar. The come comfortable. This is good shit right here tho. Not much has changed. REAL HOUSE is still HOUSE and the dance style is the same. You're correct tho. It is the best form of dancing. I used to be good, but this guy is great. Looks like so much fun. I'm to old to be able to get my knees up as high as I used to.
hahaha..me too! When I'm in the mood I watch this vid about once a year and the moves both continue to absorb my attention and remind me of my raving youth :)
Do you though? 3 years on, does it still hold captivation for you? Or anyone else, for that matter. Surely, there still exists a hint of passionate cyalume, somewhere.
Doing liquid and kick stepping in the 90s. Man. Wearing jyncos jeans and adidas jacked with an upsidown backwards visor, and creating new moves with friends. Feeling the music and letting it control you in a fluid movement as you become one with the air around you. One smooth fluid transfer of energy. Kickstepping became what is now "shuffling". Liquid became "popping". It's a dead art. Like Latin. But still a style I catch myself doing in the kitchen or at a club when I'm hammered, it comes out. The 90s was pivotal for me. Keep this video up. It's a forgotten time that should be remembered.
the raver 2-step...enjoy the candy flip... vibes as pure as the rythm...I liked dancing away from my boyfriend...the days of legend parties..April Foolz Props Get Tranced BOO Brass Monkey....check out this app called SPLASH...I love it...gives me the chance to create some HOUSE/DB/CHILL....brings me back to the good ole days..
+Andrew Johnson I wish i could go back. Even with today's pills, the best ones of today still don't match the lovey dovey body orgasmic pills of those days. I hear here and there, that they are out there. But they are very hard to find. Goddamn it!!! lolololololol
I remember doing this on the train in the morning when everyone else was going to work, I could always hear the music in my head hours after leaving the party hahahaha
i still come on here and watch this video probably once a month. Eric is beyond amazing with the way he moves. this was on the east coast where i became part of the scene in 96 and funny thing is there were dancers like this everywhere! I still go out to dance because I HAVE TO. it still lifts me up spiritually. but i don't see dancers quite this good anymore. TAKE ME BACK
+mujer nica No joke on there being ridiculous dancers at parties doing something mind blowing everywhere you turned...and the dance circles GAH!! I go out to dance and often get into covos about this with new school "ravers" I come across.
+Brittany Z. I know it!! I try really hard not to be the "old school party kid snob" so I stop myself. I've brought in a couple people into this new scene but thankfully I've kept them from the edm curse. they KNOW good dnb, good house and techno and now breaks. I've invited one girl that goes to festivals out to real house shows here in dallas. gotta convert them somehow if we're gonna keep this going.
Oh you're in Dallas?! I'm from Houston and went to many parties out there including the beginning of the end-Transit. That was such a sad Sunday when one of the most epic massives was on TV talking about how glowsticks were drug paraphernalia. It's definitely tough with newbs because there is so much bad(and boring)electronic music out there, especially dnb. Thankfully, there are oldschool peeps who are putting quality music out there and creating events that are intended to be a true bridge. Some of the festivals like LIB and Desert Hearts I've gone to are the closest that I've found energy wise the the parties from back in the day.
+Brittany Z. oh wow I was at Transit. That party was CRAZY. I'd heard it made the news. Sad days after everything started cracking down and eventually there were no more parties like that. However the scene is thriving again in Dallas. Not at big edm festivals but it's gone back underground for some parties. a couple of crews here have started throwing parties and undisclosed warehouses and going old school with the map points. I love it! Lots of good music coming through here. You should come up some time!
I'm so glad I got to experience this era, and even took pics bc I knew it was a magical time. I would fall in love with guys like this every weekend. Not only is he an amazing dancer, but you can tell he is doing it not to show off
Agreed entirely ... I'm feeling that falling in love feeling just by looking at him. I dance liquid but not like that! I'm also finding you quite lovely yourself, Matty!
never get tired of dancing and watching liquid so fun to try out new stuff. Eric was the best of that crew. style of clothes and movement. never got my dvd to practice digitz
What's funny is in 1998 when I had several pair of Levis Big Bangs (34" bottoms) I went to this small town on Vancouver Island and this older lady came up to me and said "OMG I used to wear elephant pants like that back in the 70's" LOL She said there were bell bottoms and Elephant Pants!. I still got a pair of the bigger ones with 36" bottoms.
Lol I had so many pairs of pants that I'd fucking KILL to have back! Breakdown, Jnco, 26 Red, Volcom, I had like 15 pairs 20 years ago and now I have one.
Nostalgic. Dark warehouses in seedy parts of the city hauling milk crates of vinyl, spontaneous cross country road trips just to see the sun set over the ocean, apartment after parties wrapped in a down comforter with a girl in the bath tub, and on and on and on and on... Now it's bikinis and fuzzy boots, monster outdoor festivals that last all week, some strange new dance called "shuffling..." Man, I feel out of place.
I'm old. i get that now. This was a groovealicious trance 90's style. I aspired to it then, and I'm still diggin it now. Good rythm, just like PLUR, never truly dies, it simply changes form.
Soooo much nostalgia! I've been watching this video periodically for years, it just has all the right elements colliding to knock me right back to the 90's... Man, I miss those pants
I remember this type of scenes back in the late 90's. Underground rooms, or empty hospital buildings, abandoned warehouses in the middle of nowhere, or raves in the middle of the dessert @ night with DJ's, dance crews, lots of alcohol and specially no drama just everyone having a good a time. Miss those days.
2023 update: I was around in the late 90s early 2000s And I still to this day NEVER seen any1 human being move like this Extremely admirable for future generations to learn from Thank you
“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.”- Bruce Lee Be like water my friend.
I’m a true 90’s underground Frisco raver and to tell you the truth, the music was in my very soul and made me dance this way, but to know the girls where watching added to the groove!! And yes....we knew you were watching ☺️
The circles back in the 90s were amazing. I've probably danced with this dude on more than one occasion. The tristate area was thick with people who loved getting down, it was pure awesome. 99 was past my time of massive rave events, the scene got silly after 96 after that it was all downhill. In ways it was a good thing. It gave the real underground another chance.
Damn, look at that musicality. Don't matter what kinda dance it is; when there is musicality, games over. I remember watching this tons before I got into breakdancing over 20 years ago.
I wish I could have danced liked that back in the day. I remember downloading this at Kazaa or Limewire. I watched it all the time, I was so fascinated on how good this guy is.
I started learning liquid dance in 2023 (and gloving shortly thereafter) because of this video, and have become obsessed with it since then. I practice daily and am striving to revive the style on the dancefloor in NYC every weekend.
He was 22 yrs old this was Philly. Just learned how to rave at the clubs, even went by DJ AA (like the battery) 23 yrs later to the exact date 3-13-21 he went to heaven, only 45 yrs old. Lots of people got hooked, or died from addiction from those 1st raves, still do! YOU CAN DO ANYTHING SOBER , NOT WORTH IT 😢
Liquid rave is a technique that has to be learned extremely intensively. Total body control. Perfect moves. Perfect timing. Perfect ear for music. And of course a perfect outfit. I don't know how people like Eric did it. Especially so extremely early in the techno scene. These people are real pioneers. The movements, the timing. I assume a lot of mirror work. However. The results are breathtaking...and all I can say is...WTF!? By the way... im turnig 50 in 2025... 😀 Techno 4 ever of course, what do you think?
You can dress up how you like but dance like this! Another level. Could watch this all day! I love to dance but i enjoy watching a good dancer much more.
Yes, this is true liquid dancing! I wish I still had my custom Kikwear pants. Thanks to the heads that did light shows while I was rolling off the edge.
Super smooth in his hands n his transition from his arms to his legs n how it moves to the beat is some of the best I seen.. Im In NOLA. an at the height of the rave scene in 96 to 00 I seen n learned alot about dance.. this guy is very talented.. hope he still lets loose every once n awhile.. thanks for sharing
This video (esp. starting at the 52 second mark) always makes me wanna shoot through the roof with nostalgia, joy, and gratitude to have witnessed and been a part of a unique movement that at the time was still "underground" and untouched by the mainstream. When learning of movement happened organically through connection to the music and the inner being's physical manifestation of vibration. No UA-cam, instructional DVDs, or easily accessible workshops to prep. Just the willingness to hand over your ticket and walk through a doorway to an experience that would create an opening of the mind, stretch the boundaries of perception, and create a new platform for creative expression.
I gotta be honest. for so many of us chicks there was nothing sexier than seeing a guy dance like this. then if you got in there yourself and could dance/battle him...it was a huge turn on!!! sigh...good times lol!!!
I’ve probably watched this 20 times. What a magical time 99-2001 was. That dude’s pants, full zip track jacket, and pulled down cap .... add in the arcade game and graffiti behind him .... hard not to smile. Wish there were more vids in here of this style.
I remember this video making the rounds online long before the days of youtubes.. I'd study Eric's moves and try to duplicate.. lol hours of practice in front of a mirror and I didn't even come close. ! A legend for sure!
always always when I watch this!!!...back to those days of color parties,611,mission control,brass monkey,april foolsz 2, get tranced, best damn parties...best times!!!
Holy Shit... I found it, what a dancer. People that were in the scene during this period appreciated how ahead of the game he was. Been looking for this vid for a long long time. Eric you fkn legend.
I have been coming back to this video ever since it came out. I never found out who this was but he is still the smoothest. In a world full of shufflers be the arcade liquid guy
hey there I can't seem to message you so I'm replying to this comment. I'm a liquid dancer from Toronto, but I didn't start til much later, and I'd love to know more about your knowledge of the scene in Toronto back in the 90s, if you're willing to share.
Adjudicator I started in the scene with Toronto in 92 By 95 Toronto was the meca for techno, drum&basd and jungle. Especially British jungle. People from Buffalo, Rochester, Albany and Chicago plus Detroit would make their way here to party.
i created a facebook group called Liquid Canada facebook.com/groups/1682303348658237/ if you'd like to check it out and share what you know/remember i'd appreciate it a lot
This style of dance came from this style of music. You don't find this anywhere anymore aside from discrete underground scenes (yes, they still make you pay a homeless guy to get dirs), even then, it's not a given that it'll be this. Shit, even back then, this was never a given. But you go with it, you make the most of it, and if you're any sort of committed soul, you engage, immerse, and share that with others. Be the nucleus that becomes that outer valence. And subsequently, our community develops. And PLUR carries on....
this dude was awesome ! glad i was in the golden era of raves 93' -99' the new styles of dance these days are bunk . traveling to different scenes going to parties all over the country underground scene bomb dancers break circles and tons of party supplies and super awesome beats .. music from that era still makes me want to rip it up !
I remember seeing this video in like 2000 because thats when I started breakdancing and I was looking all kinds of dance videos on Kazaa. The keywords I used to search for were like 'popping', 'waving', 'liquid dance', 'boogaloo' and I remember being mesmerized by this video. This needs to be archived and locked away safely in a vault.
DAMN!!! Reminds me sneaking out the house & calling the phone line to find out where the party is guna be. Believe it not Iowa, yes east Iowa, lol was on point back n da day. Bout 2 hrs outside Chicago so you what it is. We got all da legends to come thru!!!
It's 2019 and I'm still loving this video. First time I saw this dude's video, I downloaded it from limewire. Might have been Kazaa. Good times, good times.

Kind of crazy this video is now 23 years old and I still think this form of dancing is the coolest shit ever.
Thank you 🙏
Yes. Im 49 now. Eric is undefeated. Liquid is the coolest shit ever...
And i was on Raves 1995+

I take it back. He's just straight up HOUSE DANCING....and doing it well.
I watch this video a few times a year. Every time I am captivated by it.
I thought I was the only one!
Steve Velazquez
Nope ;)
Shit... This is the first thing that truly drew me to dancing... This and that raver kid, that dances in his yard, shuffles...
hahaha..me too! When I'm in the mood I watch this vid about once a year and the moves both continue to absorb my attention and remind me of my raving youth :)
Do you though? 3 years on, does it still hold captivation for you? Or anyone else, for that matter. Surely, there still exists a hint of passionate cyalume, somewhere.
The best time of my life… now a middle aged women lol. Glad I experienced the rave culture at its best.
Same girl, same😅
Same !!!
90s rave parties were lit
Doing liquid and kick stepping in the 90s. Man. Wearing jyncos jeans and adidas jacked with an upsidown backwards visor, and creating new moves with friends.

I would love to learn how to liquid like this if someone was out there teqching it. The music from the 90s is soo much better compared to now
I would kill to have my hands on more vhs/vids from early parties
I'll bring it back ♥️💯♥️💯 this feeling will not die
almost 10 years later and this guy still gives me goosebumps.
i think we found his other vid ua-cam.com/video/UIxy7Xa5uEY/v-deo.html
Late 90s-early 2000s the glory days of the rave scene (in my humble opinion). This dude was def "feeling" it!! I totally miss those days too!
+Jesse Rothbeind im right with u there... i miss those days too... I still fEel it here and there.. lol
+Michael Vargas Mccarrol Goddammit, those were the days!!! Peace, love, unity, and respect!!! hahaha
+Andrew Johnson I wish i could go back. Even with today's pills, the best ones of today still don't match the lovey dovey body orgasmic pills of those days. I hear here and there, that they are out there. But they are very hard to find. Goddamn it!!! lolololololol
Nah you missed the best by that stage, still good but past the best. Early 90s was the best, 90-93
I agree, it kinda went to shit after that. hard to get that old school hippy feeling at party's these days/. WTF ever happen to PLUR lmfao
I remember doing this on the train in the morning when everyone else was going to work, I could always hear the music in my head hours after leaving the party hahahaha

Agreed entirely ... I'm feeling that falling in love feeling just by looking at him. I dance liquid but not like that! I'm also finding you quite lovely yourself, Matty!
OMG this was how I danced back in the day * tear * ugh I miss it so much...
Liquid Eric. Watched this video hundreds of times over the last 15 years
Thanks for the support
Decades later, he's still the king. His moves still look amazing in 2019.
Who is this guy?
@@jany6581 Eric from LPC Liquid Pop Collective
@@jany6581 Liquid Pop Eric
And 2022
Link to his new stuff?
never get tired of dancing and watching liquid so fun to try out new stuff. Eric was the best of that crew. style of clothes and movement. never got my dvd to practice digitz
Oh man, big, baggy pants and an Adidas jacket. Takes me back. Kids today have no idea how comfortable those pants were.
What's funny is in 1998 when I had several pair of Levis Big Bangs (34" bottoms) I went to this small town on Vancouver Island and this older lady came up to me and said "OMG I used to wear elephant pants like that back in the 70's" LOL She said there were bell bottoms and Elephant Pants!. I still got a pair of the bigger ones with 36" bottoms.
I started raving in 2009 and I've been wearing phat pants to all the hardstyle and psytrance events dude they're hella comfortable to wear 🙌🏽👽
kids these days have no idea what they missed. it's so square now with the underground EDM gone in north america.
JNCO qAmbient Verso Piss Poor to name a few:-)
Lol I had so many pairs of pants that I'd fucking KILL to have back! Breakdown, Jnco, 26 Red, Volcom, I had like 15 pairs 20 years ago and now I have one.
Everything from the back drop to the song too the clothes and the rave motions says “I was there!”
Nostalgic. Dark warehouses in seedy parts of the city hauling milk crates of vinyl, spontaneous cross country road trips just to see the sun set over the ocean, apartment after parties wrapped in a down comforter with a girl in the bath tub, and on and on and on and on... Now it's bikinis and fuzzy boots, monster outdoor festivals that last all week, some strange new dance called "shuffling..." Man, I feel out of place.
Fuck yes. You get it.
neochetina nailed it!!
You are spot on. The corporate, festival rave culture of today is a shadow of the awesomeness of the old days.
Nice, sounds like a poem or lyrics from Mike Skinner, The Streets!!!!
You just described my life from 99-2003
I'm old. i get that now. This was a groovealicious trance 90's style. I aspired to it then, and I'm still diggin it now. Good rythm, just like PLUR, never truly dies, it simply changes form.
However, sadly, it is on life support.
this was 99!!! top tier ... top shelf video.. so hard to find some of these gems these days.. gotta dig!
Omg the little "praying hands" thing, i love this video.
"bodhisattva"
Soooo much nostalgia! I've been watching this video periodically for years, it just has all the right elements colliding to knock me right back to the 90's... Man, I miss those pants
Whenever I smell a clove cigarette, it takes me back to these days!! I miss them so f’ing much!!! PLUR
PLUR❤🎉❤😊
I remember this type of scenes back in the late 90's. Underground rooms, or empty hospital buildings, abandoned warehouses in the middle of nowhere, or raves in the middle of the dessert @ night with DJ's, dance crews, lots of alcohol and specially no drama just everyone having a good a time.

"Lot's of alcohol" lmao
U mean when tickets were 5$ and a canned food donation not $300. :-)
Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say NO drama, but everything else made up for it!
A UA-cam CLASSIC! - Search for it every few years just to see it again hehehe - So good
Reminds me of the late 90s Chicago parties where many people would be doing this in thier own corners. Great times I miss them.
2023 update:
I was around in the late 90s early 2000s
And I still to this day
NEVER seen any1 human being move like this
Extremely admirable for future generations to learn from
Thank you

Go to an older crowd and you’ll see this.
Man the baggy pants and 90s underground raves brings back memories 😭
Those isolations! Smiling because he's soooo good and because those big pants we wore made the movements even more fluid.
I’m a true 90’s underground Frisco raver and to tell you the truth, the music was in my very soul and made me dance this way, but to know the girls where watching added to the groove!! And yes....we knew you were watching ☺️
You ever end up at "The End Up", Fren?
This is one of the videos I watched in college and learned how to dance from.
The circles back in the 90s were amazing. I've probably danced with this dude on more than one occasion. The tristate area was thick with people who loved getting down, it was pure awesome. 99 was past my time of massive rave events, the scene got silly after 96 after that it was all downhill. In ways it was a good thing. It gave the real underground another chance.
Incredible. Reminds me of the style of dancing we had in Atlanta, South Carolina and Orlando/Gainesville.
Tony Gamino Greensboro NC and Winston Salem! Millennium Center was the best party every First Friday!
The Club at Firestone, The Edge and AAHZ!♥️♥️♥️♥️
I remember watching this video in college when you had to download files to watch. This guy is one of the best I have ever seen.
i could watch this man all night coz hes just like me find a spot and dance to how the music makes u feel the best male dancer ive ever seen xx
Damn, look at that musicality. Don't matter what kinda dance it is; when there is musicality, games over. I remember watching this tons before I got into breakdancing over 20 years ago.
I wish I could have danced liked that back in the day.
I remember downloading this at Kazaa or Limewire. I watched it all the time, I was so fascinated on how good this guy is.
This dance holds such a special place in my heart! Pretty sure I downloaded it off Napster so long ago. :)
Im sure this was in DC. The memories of the dance battles and Caffeine branded pants will never leave my mind!
I started learning liquid dance in 2023 (and gloving shortly thereafter) because of this video, and have become obsessed with it since then. I practice daily and am striving to revive the style on the dancefloor in NYC every weekend.
Often imitated, never duplicated. The God. The 🐐 . LPE is Liquid Dancing.
I am watching this soo many years. Thank You!
I remember just getting stuck in a trance when I would dance I miss it sometimes.
This guy was a legend amongst my friends growing up and yet we have never met. Glad I found this again
He was 22 yrs old this was Philly. Just learned how to rave at the clubs, even went by DJ AA (like the battery) 23 yrs later to the exact date 3-13-21 he went to heaven, only 45 yrs old. Lots of people got hooked, or died from addiction from those 1st raves, still do! YOU CAN DO ANYTHING SOBER , NOT WORTH IT 😢
This video only been up for 11 years but I feel like I’ve been watching this one since senior year high school, 2002
Watched this video SO many times back in the day
and never come back
Liquid rave is a technique that has to be learned extremely intensively.
Total body control. Perfect moves. Perfect timing. Perfect ear for music. And of course a perfect outfit.
I don't know how people like Eric did it. Especially so extremely early in the techno scene. These people are real pioneers. The movements, the timing. I assume a lot of mirror work.
However. The results are breathtaking...and all I can say is...WTF!?
By the way... im turnig 50 in 2025... 😀
Techno 4 ever of course, what do you think?
All you needed was a few buscuits and shit was off the wall back in '98 -' 99. I get butterflies thinking about that crazy shit.
You can dress up how you like but dance like this! Another level. Could watch this all day!
I love to dance but i enjoy watching a good dancer much more.
wht a fucking boss
Yes, this is true liquid dancing! I wish I still had my custom Kikwear pants. Thanks to the heads that did light shows while I was rolling off the edge.
I WATCH IT OVER N OVER ESPECIALLY WHEN I MISS HIM .. I WOULD LOVE TO BR ABLE TO DO THAT, NOT A GOOD DANCER BUT A RAVER? 🛸🎧
Probably one of the best dancers I've seen on UA-cam. Pure talent, dope AF bruh.
Been watching this video for like 2 decades and I've yet to come across anyone that can dance as well as he can.
JNCOs, ADIDAS, and liquid 💗. God, I miss those days
Super smooth in his hands n his transition from his arms to his legs n how it moves to the beat is some of the best I seen.. Im In NOLA. an at the height of the rave scene in 96 to 00 I seen n learned alot about dance.. this guy is very talented.. hope he still lets loose every once n awhile.. thanks for sharing
miltonm337 FB Society. Nothing like it. Palace. Canal and Rampart. Memories.
Thanks man!!
I do, but at 45 I really have to feel it to use it like that
This is me In The video
This is what attracted me to he underground culture in the late 90s early 2000. It has never been the same .
Great Memories. Great Times! My art school college days from 1998 - 2001
Love that this guy is in every rave compilation video from before youtube to 2008
I was I had know then!!
This is me in this video.
Others too credit for it

He would be the friggen coolest, to this day, if only for the pants! The most heart breaking fashion choice of the Era
This is what I used to think I looked like raving back in the day.
Amen to that! Felt the same way when I watched the video.. Miss those days soo much!
You can only understand this if you experienced it way back in those days.... glad I did it and still this day look at this and like Fuking wow !!!
I remember watching this when UA-cam started back in San Bruno🎩🤘
this dude is literally my inspiration to liquid dance in 2021. I started learning 3 weeks ago and I will become this good
where are your resources on learning to dance like this? :)
@Jake Wildman ok i dont believe you :)
@@mouse059 sorry for the late reply. Look into the lpc conference in 2010, hglitch and any other tutorials.
@The One Wildman prove it :)
@@keoni4824 hey thanks a lot!!
This legit could be me 20 years ago. Same style, dance and clothes. Only thing is I never was at a rave held at a bowling alley.
this takes me back to chicago underground late 90s! Off the hook, yo!
I gotta be honest. for so many of us chicks there was nothing sexier than seeing a guy dance like this. then if you got in there yourself and could dance/battle him...it was a huge turn on!!! sigh...good times lol!!!
+mujer nica omg i had always thought of that, that way. It was the E that also enhanced that. Indeed it was very sexy thing to watch.
The Dancer (from the 90s) still lives, but in the streets of Ibiza Town...
A fellow nica, ey?
mujer nica we dancing dudes were totally aware of this :)
Dude, battling liquid chicks was like some bizarre raver mating dance.
it never gets old, what an awesome display of skills
best regards from mexico
I first watched this video (the first clip) when I downloaded it using Limewire or Kazaa, before UA-cam existed. Those were the good times!!
This is just awesome. Man so many cool rave memories from 90s/00s
Good times
Ah yes, the OG. His 2nd sequence in this video is legendary!
I come back to this video every so often. Still so damn cool. Wish I could move like that!
So much better than the “shuffle” so called ravers do now... this was our style back in the day
Agreed! Shuffle is basic asf
Don't worry y'all candy walking and liquid are coming back for how they defiled the Melbourne shuffle 😭😭
Fuck yeah man!
I’ve probably watched this 20 times. What a magical time 99-2001 was. That dude’s pants, full zip track jacket, and pulled down cap .... add in the arcade game and graffiti behind him .... hard not to smile. Wish there were more vids in here of this style.
How come this video has so few watches? I feel like it is an Internet treasure. Such awesome energy!
this made me cry.
So nostalgic. Nights of pure bliss!
Bring it back to like it 1999
I remember this video making the rounds online long before the days of youtubes.. I'd study Eric's moves and try to duplicate.. lol hours of practice in front of a mirror and I didn't even come close. ! A legend for sure!
It's a feeling in my heart I move to. You can't copy the move without feeling it
Man I miss the 90s and rave spots that wouldn’t even open their doors till 2am
always always when I watch this!!!...back to those days of color parties,611,mission control,brass monkey,april foolsz 2, get tranced, best damn parties...best times!!!
Holy Shit... I found it, what a dancer. People that were in the scene during this period appreciated how ahead of the game he was. Been looking for this vid for a long long time. Eric you fkn legend.
you know him?
@@alanparks3402 Liquid Pop Eric. Nah I don't know him but followed for years
I have been coming back to this video ever since it came out. I never found out who this was but he is still the smoothest. In a world full of shufflers be the arcade liquid guy
ahhhh, i remember this video floating around everywhere pre youtube! haha awesome! :D
Breh that’s my dad Michael Lynch I remember him first showing me this video and my uncle was recording him😭
Are you stating this video is not authentic? That it isn't "LP eric"?
If so, when and where did this occur?
Your dad's a liar.😒🤣
Wow this reminds me of Toronto in the 90's
Such an amazing scene back then
yes east cost/middle coast
hey there I can't seem to message you so I'm replying to this comment. I'm a liquid dancer from Toronto, but I didn't start til much later, and I'd love to know more about your knowledge of the scene in Toronto back in the 90s, if you're willing to share.
Adjudicator I started in the scene with Toronto in 92
By 95 Toronto was the meca for techno, drum&basd and jungle. Especially British jungle. People from Buffalo, Rochester, Albany and Chicago plus Detroit would make their way here to party.
They brought the dancing here - liquid
i created a facebook group called Liquid Canada

if you'd like to check it out and share what you know/remember i'd appreciate it a lot
First track Direct Motion by Total Eclipse
What is the name of the second track??? Thanks for the first track also!!!
Vincent Vega, second track is Visiting Venus, by Electric Universe.
BROOOOOO!!! thanks you!!! I love such deep progressive tracks!! :)
THANK YOU!
Thank you!
I keep forgetting I can pop. Appreciate the reminder. I had y’all’s VHS 😂
Yep decades later you are still incredible bro.
Thanks!
miss those days too. And everyone just cared about everyone else.
I never see anybody that moves like this anywhere....like wtf is the shuffle???!?!?!?!?!
totally agree. searching youtube from time to time and no results. only shuffle.....
This style of dance came from this style of music. You don't find this anywhere anymore aside from discrete underground scenes (yes, they still make you pay a homeless guy to get dirs), even then, it's not a given that it'll be this. Shit, even back then, this was never a given. But you go with it, you make the most of it, and if you're any sort of committed soul, you engage, immerse, and share that with others. Be the nucleus that becomes that outer valence. And subsequently, our community develops. And PLUR carries on....
Subatomic Nucleotide Well said, sir. How I long for just one more good party...
Shuffle was originally made only for hardstyle. The recent trend ruined it.
Its called liquid popping. I think
this dude was awesome ! glad i was in the golden era of raves 93' -99' the new styles of dance these days are bunk . traveling to different scenes going to parties all over the country underground scene bomb dancers break circles and tons of party supplies and super awesome beats .. music from that era still makes me want to rip it up !
I remember seeing this video in like 2000 because thats when I started breakdancing and I was looking all kinds of dance videos on Kazaa. The keywords I used to search for were like 'popping', 'waving', 'liquid dance', 'boogaloo' and I remember being mesmerized by this video. This needs to be archived and locked away safely in a vault.
DAMN!!! Reminds me sneaking out the house & calling the phone line to find out where the party is guna be. Believe it not Iowa, yes east Iowa, lol was on point back n da day. Bout 2 hrs outside Chicago so you what it is. We got all da legends to come thru!!!
Man this takes me back to high school
First dancer is a beast. Glad this was taped !
They are all the same dancer. Eric Liquid Rave from Liquid Pop Collective.
Miss the good old days of raving in the 90s!!!
He has a amazing good vibe❤
It's 2019 and I'm still loving this video. First time I saw this dude's video, I downloaded it from limewire. Might have been Kazaa. Good times, good times.
Been loving this clip for ages!!! Wish I knew who this dude was…
liquid eric. part of LPC
