Makina! | A Boiler Room & British Council Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- In the North East of England there is a strange and hyper localised genre you have in all likelihood never heard of. It’s called Makina.
Emerging in the late nineties it fused European hard dance genres and became the instrumental backing to a generation of MCs who used it to talk about the intimate details of their lives, whilst hyping crowds at 180bpm.
It's the sound that builds community and exorcises demons. The sound that embraces difference and channels sensitivity. It's the sound of loss, deprivation and joy. It's tradition, identity, folksong; it's the sound of the North East.
Directed by Hector Aponysus
This is incredible. I'm a Spanish makina DJ living in Reading and I never heard about it. I knew about the UK hardhouse (we call it bumping in Spain) which I used to mix with "cantaditas" (songs with a predominat female melodic voice) I'll have to pay a visit to the North East now 🤟
DUDE THE NORTH EAST IS THE PLACE TO BE,GET YASELF TO THE MONTA ITS GREAT
You know what the track is at 6:56
Come to glasgow makina is still massive here and the producers developed a different style same with the MC's.
@Ryan St "back in my day"
As a Spanish, it is really weird to listen to Makina with the speakers rapping over the melodies, but English blokes seem to fucking enjoying it, which is the most important thing.
I lived in the UK for 5 years, but down the south, very far from Newcastle. People seem to easily judge these people calling them chavs and stuff, but look at the area... the goverment doesn't give a shit about Newcastle. Sad shit.
I would call chavs the ones I met in Abingdon, where they decided to live like tough guys, rejecting all the good oportunities that they have in their environment, but about these guys... they have my respect, I just wish peace and happiness to them.
Kind regards from Spain
I love how respectful and straight faced this is. It's not some ironic meme'y mockumentary type shit like the Bouncy House / Donk one Noisey did a while back
Yep totally agree with that
Noisey (and anything Vice in general) can have questionable journalistic integrity especially when there's an obvious bias, but when they get it right, they really do get it right. I get why people hate em and i get why people love em. You gotta look at each doco in its own right
It's also bollocks, you can compare these people in the 90s/00s to people from the american south, not very accepting of anyone different, probably attacked a few goths on the way in for example. You either fit in with how they looked and acted or youd be fighting because of how insecure they are with their masculinity. Love the music but the generic type of person going to these things was not a very good one.
I'm a Spanish makina DJ and I knew about british makina thanks to The New Monkey. When I heard the mix between makina and MC I understood this was something else. I would love going to a rave in a city like Sunderland or Newcastle😍🤘
Are you in Barcelona?
You know when you get that feeling where your scalp tightens up and you get goosebumps, i had that right the way through this. I'm proud to come from the North East and have been part of the scene! Well done to all involved in making this. Hold-tight!
Same feeling here. Can feel it at heart... Should go visit the North East some time!
@@slipperypessimist it's a very welcoming place mate.
@@cliffyfromboro No mate, Wallsend.
Best documentary I’ve watched in awhile, been listening to makina for years and years up in Scotland, the smile it brings to my face will never get old
Well done lads Taylor would be so proud of you both 💙
HELLO HELLO HOW DO YOU DO? DO YA WANNA BE A MEMBER OF THE NORTH EAST CREW?
HELLO HELLO, HOW THE FK YA DOING? MELO-D SAY MICROPHONE TO GET YA BODY MOOVIN
What a fantastically intriguing documentary.
Absolute full marks to everyone who made an appearance on this 👌🏽
Makina absolutely massive in Glasgow as well! Love it troops 😎✊🏻
This is brilliant. The Comusica project looks brilliant. This scene gets a looked down on - mostly from people who don't know the people or the scene. But it's among the most accepting you'll find and you're just as likely to encounter trouble outside an All Bar One.
Lovely to see these young guys channelling their energy into something creative.
Belta this like. Perfectly shows what the scene is actually about 👌🏼
Nicole Robinson yina the score wor kid
MC Sparky any use lads kna what that tunes called at the end out the video boyos
@@nathanbroad5679 its one of my tunes, here's the link soundcloud.com/mc-smithyb/dynamix-eternity
I'm from Aberdeen and we used to go to go to Newcastle for makina raves. I'm 33 now and still love it!!
I'm American, but I love Makina. Even make a bit myself. I might be missing the localised soul of it, but this documentary still made me feel things as someone who's been in love with Scouse/Bounce, Happy Hardcore, and Makina.
This could be a global thing one day, but it might be better that it stay in the NE. With the people that know it best.
Yeah I grew up with bounce and stuff I'm telling my American friends about it and the mc culture trynna push it over there one day hopefully my friend 🇺🇸 🤝 🇬🇧
Wow, now i understand why Pattrick Topping love the spanish Makina :)
Amazing! Greatings from Spain!
Is incredible how the sentiment and the culture arround the Makina music is equal between Spain and UK.
Wicked man 👏🏽
This is absolutely quality lads well done. I'm 34 now, got a family, a business, been all over the world but those days going to the raves, listening to that music, those days man. Unbelievable, it's hard to put into words init but you've absolutely nailed it with this documentary 👏
Massive fan of Makina and all happy tunes. Big love from Huddersfield. Northerners United will never be divided.
Mint!! Am 40 year old and still listen to makina, used to love going to the afterdark and the lads are right it's a way of life for some people.. RIP to the ones that didnt make it, and a big shout out to the north easts finest!!! Keep raving..
This was actually unexpectedly really touching, you really feel for these people who have basically nothing but mcing over eurobeat.
I was in Valencia throughout the 90s. Cars driving round blasting this out. They used to call it 'dunkee dunkee' music 👍
Nothing but love for our friends in the North East, you are such a nice guys!
used to go to raves in Seattle, Washington, and happy hardcore and Spanish makina were pretty popular there in the 2000s, along with breakcore. This shit made me cry, I felt so much kinship with people who I will probably never meet. Raves really are a magical thing, aren't they?
Seriously. Makina/HHC/breakcore/hardstyle/etc are still a massive thing in SoCal, Seattle and Phoenix. I think because the party promoters have close relationships with DJs/MCs in the UK/Spain/Etc that it would be impossible to fully untangle the two communities separated by 1000s of miles. Really grateful to have grown up in the west coast raving community.
@@purrrbot couldn't have put it better myself. currently loving the Portland breakcore scene atm
im from berlin enyoing all kinds of edm but for me UKhardcore and makina is one of the happiest and moste rave genres ever
Thanks for the docu
5:43 anyone know the tune there?
Anyone got a track list of the tracks they recognise in the background?
This is honestly quite unique. I've been living in England for 4 years and never heard about it. Makina movement was certainly very strong in Spain in the 90s, specially in Catalonia. But never was associated with Gay culture or roots as the video says. The decline actually came with far right political movements associated, along with the low quality of productions in the last days. There were obviously a lot of open minded ravers as well, but I don't think you wanted to be or look gay on this Spanish clubs at the time. Great work anyway!
Exactly, I don't know where he got that from, it's completely wrong. I'm sure there were closeted makineros, but they would've got massively bullied or violently beaten up if they had opened up about being gay in public. Not to mention kissing or holding hands, I regard this as quite impossible.
Totally agree, here born in Barcelona. By the late 90's Musica maquina, was associated with right-wing skinheads and far-right crowd. I remember having to change my way of coming back home on Saturday night to don't cross in front of Musica maquina clubs. I would say that the original valencian maquina scene, when Chimo Bayo, in the early '90s, the scene was more diverse, but by the end of 90's music maquina was 100% associated with far-right movements and skinhead subcultures.
The italodance , euro house & hi energy was all the rage in uk gay clubs
and what drag queen dj???? Yoji biomehanika?? Only one I could think of…. he’s japanese and does NOT do makina…maybe some hardstyle where some could use some of his tracks as bases but overall drag queen makina djs don’t exist….
Bro what a documentary !! I leave in France rly closed from Spain and the makina was rly appreciated a decade ago when it was at the top here ! And the people , the feeling around that music was exactly the same , this music create love and unity everywhere it is listenned and people stick with these melody in they hearth all their lives its pure crazyness !! Thx for the memory mate i rly enjoy knowing that makina isnt dead i wish i could go for a rave in England one day banging with all of you guys !!
I was lucky enough to catch Makina! I’m from Manchester and as a result of going on holiday to Majorica back in 1996 and buying such tapes (Ibiza mix 95, Rambo mix et, all)....not to mention such tunes getting airplay on Key 103 every Saturday and Sunday night back in the day. Loving the vibes! So uplifting! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely amazing lads, makes me proud to be from Meadowell!
I raved through the early to late nineties but found makina as Alexa recommend couple years ago (New Monkey) and love it.
Amazingly well made, thanks a lot for producing a proper documentary about this. Fantastic to see it made into something so professional :)
Tbh a lot of my friends and family are really into this but I've never known it had a name other than just MC or rave; also didn't realise this was a north east thing! Thanks a lot for making this, gonna share it lots :)
Whats the sounds track list, love this music, big up from Canada
Gracias a Scott Brown estamos hermanados España e Inglaterra, especialmente Escocia y la makina,un saludo desde España
Yanar what things like this make me fucking proud to be from the north east. Even though outside of music we are all at each others throat Mackem Geordie Smoggie and everyone else we are all so much alike. Fucking class man. North east strong!!!!
Incredible documentation. Lots of love to the North east.
Rockeye is the most down to earth lad about
Well done, good to see something a bit more in depth that has the potential to spread awareness of what the northeast rave scene really is, not only to people from outside the northeast but to the people in it who may have a negative stereotypes towards it. Would love to see another one!
.... GOD I MISS A GOOD SESH!
Brilliant yes man ❤ittt Wat a Tuneee ✌️🥳🤩🎧🎤🎛️👣👣🎉🔥🔥😊🙌🙌🔉🔉🗣️🎙️🎵🎼🎶
Sandy Duff, Legend! This is class
I always thought that it was just happy hardcore but now I understand it a little more thank you for making this! I really Love that stuff like this is still going on around the world and cant wait to travel the world to see it everywhere.
this really puts into context that video of a scottish schoolkid spitting an effective obituary about a dead friend which went viral (recently?)- I knew gabber/hardcore was more popular up north/scotland, but didn't realise the uniquely sentimental tone was a whole new genre, sick!
Yeah - I live in Shields where I suspect at least a few of these are from and it really is everywhere! Even if you don't like it, most respect it :)
He wasn't scottish, it was in Pallion, Sunderland and they were from Durham
Amazing! Greetings from Spain
Im from Catalunya, that was my style since the begining of my life, enjoyed every single day partying and listening Makina, good thing is that we re-starting producing, mixing, and partying in the clubs again, i have to agree with some of the coments here, we didnt enjoy mc's with songs, but i can see how you clearly did
Todo verdad lo que has dicho😍👏🏼
Saludos desde españa ! Y buen documental 😉 yo viví los 90 en catalunya, la cuna de la makina en discotecas como , pont aeri , xque? , metro (anglés), la sala del cel, 8 after , distrito 0.... eso era el paraíso!! Seguid así que la makina nunca muere!!!!🤪
Makina is badass, i have bumping and bouncing to hardcore ,hardstyle for 32 years,i go to sleep with my earbuds in bumping a mkn or forever the hardest. I heard makina for the 1st last night. Was so badass it woke me up, cant stop listen since. What makes it sound so badass is brittish accent. So bad ass
A very well put together story with real people at the centre, Makina seems to be about the people 1st, music 2nd.
I live in Barcelona so I’m I can connect some heads together from the originators and the current flag bearers
i'm from Spain, and Makina was really huge back in 90s and early 2000s here.
Why did Makina die out in Spain?
@@flaw3dgenius222 Sadly, ppl moved into other genre discos (house, techno) and the few pure makina discos around here start closing one by one...
@@flaw3dgenius222 It got a bad rep as there were many who use to go only to fight and stuff. By the way it was mainly a Catalan thing
@@jdst7080 it was born in Valencia and then evolved to Catalonia as clubs started to shut.
@@yaszsz I said mainly, as in Valencia it didn't go for nearly as long and most of the DJ's production and clubs were in Catalonia. It did originate in Valencia. I was just specifying it as it is not a Spanish thing.
Makinero since 1992 from Barcelona, the cradle of the makina, and for many years more!
I've still got my old New Monkey tapes, CDs and the Halloween special DVD knocking around somewhere, remembering grafting me paper round so I could go to Quayside market and get 2 CDs for £15
03 04 Halloween was fuckin bangin
Man, I'm Spanish and I love seeing this. Check out on UA-cam DJ Sisu, DJ Sonic and Pastis & Buenri, look for these specifically in the search bar "Xque Live", "Activa Live Sessions 2008", "Dj Sisu vol" and "Dj Sonic vol". Those were the times where the Makina movement were at its peak in our country (well, also in the late 90s).
The thing that sounds more likely like your UK style it's the late 90s sound, maybe you finded too melodic or too pumped up the newer stuff. Check it out!
I'm from Germany and discovered makina about 2 years ago now.
The Spanish stuff is definitely the stuff that has more soul, more personality attached to it.
I especially enjoy DJ Pumu, his productions where awesome. As well as basically everyone else who did makina between 1995 and maybe 2005. I'd say some names to check out are DJ Pildo, Xavi Metralla and DJ Ruboy (especially his ~2002 stuff).
Dj names are really confusing though, i'd say around 60% percent of tracks where produced by the same 4 people, just with different aliases. Tony Costa, Gerard Requena, Jaime Panadero, Konik and all those..
Makina just warms my heart even though I'm only 24 and i never heard it back in the day.
Especially here in Germany.
Love!❤
And I'm gonna leave this song title here, have fun!

Class little documentary!!
Absolutely class
Some of the subtitles a bit off. Should have had a Geordie to translate for you
It doesn’t channel sensitivity like, it channels radgies to neck cowies and rightly so. Mint though
yesssa

Amazing lovenit from.glasgow.listended from.a was 12 now 31 and wont stop let's.go

Mc rockeye starting off the video in the meadow well haha
well said boys. MAKINA #1
Fantastic documentary some great mise en scene
well done for putting this all together. good work.
Gabber from Rotterdam is great. Industrial cities have been mad sources of hardcore music. It's getting out the frustration...
Is their a tracklist of the sings in this. Some rippers !
Beautiful :D The power of music
i think a propa remake of this is due, with the old school Mc's and DJ's
I've lost loads of mates and my mam died of cancer she rocked the dance floor till the end she used to join in the sessions
Good to see sandy on here another local ledgend

14:04 is pure fire
Sonic 3 major boss theme
makina greatest genre there is after German trance, euro, Italiano . from Ireland i share the same passion for makina as these lads.
Have a listen to Spanish Bumpin and Spanish Trance. Producers like Miguel Serna, Raul Soto, Ismael Lora, Headhornys etc.
I’m from the north east from darlo moves to harrogate 2 year ago long live makina!
What a video! Big up all Makina early 90’s Bit music family!
Rockeyes lyric 👊🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
does anyone know the song used in 0:42 and the track in 1:39
I would love to rave it up in the UK northeast. Here in Asia people make fun of me because of my taste in music. I love UK happy hardcore, UK hardcore, donk, bounce, hardstyle, rawstyle, hardcore and makina. These are kinda unusual tastes around S. E Asia. So Im told "its just noise" and to "get some real music". I wish I had raver friends like in this video. One day after I save money I will travel to the UK and just rave rave rave rave!
we'll welcome you with open arms mate.
@@temma1612 Wow thanks very much friend! Keep dancin 🙂
Fuck what people think my brother rave away!!!!
@@Rockeye1986 thank you brother! Lasers, bass, amen breaks, hhc pianos and rawstyle kick!
всё новое - хорошо забытое старое, это же 90-е годы
Scotland & The North East working as a team!
I love the English translation at the bottom
We live this, day in day out keemona
Btw, the original pronunciation of "Mákina" is with the tonic syllable being "má" (hence the diacritic), not the "ki".
Spaniards: "it's from the word máquina but that q might confuse you so let's spell it with a k so you can say it easier"
Geordie: ma-KEEN-ah
@@slllloraxxx it was actually spelled with a 'k' in Spain as well; the "máquina" that developed from "bakalao" in Valencia was a bit softer, thus Catalans decided to spell it with a K in order to set itself apart from its predecesor.
In English you've got the latisim "deus ex machina
", which is pronounced very similarly to the Spanish word: /ˈmæk.ɪ.nə/, but I guess someone started pronouncing it the other way, and it just stuck like that forever :)
I am Spanish and I lived in the UK for years.
Never met an English person who pronnounced my name (Jorge) right. Everybody called me Hokee, yorgie, horgey, etc hahahah and I have to admit that sometimes I miss it.
If you guys think that English people is going to pronounce Mákina as we do... you can wait forever hahaha
@@jayfarina7263 at least us americans say it right 😂😂😂
its big in the north east but up here in scotland its pretty much the same, bounce makina, donk.
Being from blyth it’s good to see the north east getting some love and showing we’re actually not as bad as we seem
Saludos!!
Love to see it! Amazing.
Makina was never associated with freedom or gay culture in Spain. It was the soundtrack of the far right.
bs lol
No mention of the northeast number one stompin strange... stretches rhyme is a toppa but its not the most iconic... I'd say Danny's c'mon then i cant fucking hear ya... I'll never stop listening to this music till the day I die ... hold tight for the sound 🎤
Wow, this is the culture! Big ups lads!
The ones on the bus at 8:01 are shite haha.
Up the jimmy mason man
that dj set in the underpass at wheatslade has so many of my joint ends in it
whoever liked this oioi u baccy smoker
I gotta admit, this isn't my go to daily listening genre. But i've lived in this city all my life and fuck... i love makina
Feel proud of being from the northeast yes Mannnn
That guy at 4.5 min has got a sick setup!
Mc rockeye! One of the best!!!
wyyyy iiiii rock eye well said and put shout out to vibe and trippin keeping it alive
Makina from La Ruta del Bacalao in Valencia, RIP 1994
I would say bakalao emerged from Valencia as a mix of goth rock, synth way, EBM, acid and Belgian new beat. It got progressively harder and more commercial, and developed into mákina in Catalonia by mid-90s. It's interestingly very similar to what happend with The Summer of Love and the rave culture in the UK, the initial acid house evolved into faster and harder music styles as the drugs changed (from mescaline and lsd into mdma and anfetamines).
@@yosiposi You're right in that the early sound of La Ruta had nothing to do with makina, however it did emerge in the early 90s in Valencia. Catalan DJs like Naxo Dixkontrol was a resident in the Valencian clubs and when they started closing, moved back to Catalonia and opened big clubs over there with makina music. The Catalan scene then flourished with this style, and it developed, but it didn't in Valencia simply because the authorities were already on top of the clubs in Valencia and unfortunately they all had to close by the mid 90s.
@@yaszsz
Gracias, no lo sabía!!
Tengo en casa "¡Bacalao!", de Luis Costa pendiente de leer :)
El principio de los 90 me pilló aún jovencita y escuchando música en la radio (Toni Aguilar, Fernandisco) o yendo a galas de tarde jajaja.
@@yosiposi jeje yo nací en el 92 osea que solo viví el makineo sentada en el coche, pero es un tema que me apasiona. ¡Qué guay que seas chica y a ti también!
Makina is bloody awesome ! Big up the north , keeping rave real
Lethal documentary 🖤🤍🖤🤍
