Yeah those rave party's where the best of times,no cell phones just everyone tripping and raving ....1993 was my best year , taggers,raves,and house party's.
1990 thru 1994 was an amazing time in Los Angeles
Yep you are correct...hahah.....yeahhhh
San Diego as well. Romper Room, Playskool, the Narnia Rave. Not just saying that because I worked all of those. But rather from the perspective of a promoter/dj that worked both LA and San Diego at the same time. SD had way more positive vibes in general. DJ's were woefully underrated.
@@cerebrix I lived in LA and Vegas in the 90's. Can we connect? Leave ur Instagram
Plz explain. This sounds cool but Anna know more about that time first hand experience haha
@@Dondillilochevrolet who is Anna
Fresh jive was the shit back in da day. Wish they would bring those original shirts back.
Wow... This documentary brings me back in time. Back in the early 90s. The Rave days. I was lucky to lived those days. Nothing but dancing all night. 👍👍
I was raving in the Colorado scene in 92...what a time to be in the scene!! Sure the production value of mainstream rave these days (like EDC) is impressive, it kinda sucks compared to the days when you could get the same level of DJ lineup for just $20 though and feel like you were part of something special. Not just a mass marketed commercial endeavor.
ahh Pure Acid Mixtapes....Besides the DJs your booth was always the second highlight of my night. I spent a lot of my hard earn money of mixtapes. God I miss those days!!!
you and me both! I appreciate the support!
Sober early 90's Raver here. I had an incredible time, without drugs.
Now ask me 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
How?
Yeah some people say music is the drug, but in my opinion you missed out on enhancing the experience, its the only scene you can do drugs, and it would have been the best oppotunity to do it in the 90s with the origins of rave music 😜 plus e's were apparently strongest back then 😁
THHAT'S ME @1:40 w/the orange FatCap hat. :) 18 years old on Melrose Avenue, in front of the defunct Hex HipHop Shop. :D
Watching this while in Lockdown sucks!
Wow thank you, that was really intresting
I was in Chicago back in the day and mix tapes were the best, my theory is that on a mix tape you could play anything you wanted were on official releases the DJ would have to choice from label approved and cleared tracks to mix.
Ah yes, 1992, the era of the GenX. We surely made a dent into history challenging norms and changing culture. Im happy to be part of a movement that was peacefully and promoted "diveristy". NO culture ever did this.
i wish i could of raved it during those days :/ but i wasnt born til 1996 haha. those of you who raved in the 90's are fucking lucky
Ravers were a rare breed of people back in 1990s they were considered outcasts and rave music was unknown to regular, rave partys in abandoned wearhouses were a common thing the only way you can be invited is if you knew a raver, their was no internet or social media or instant text messages, raves were all word of mouth by passing the messages by flyers, now raves are commercial a bunch of Instagram clout chasers just go to be like LOOK IM SO COOL I WENT TO A RAVE.. raves were like a secret society back in in 1990 to 2001.
Went to a drum and bass rave drank water and no smoking . Was asked by another raver and ask where did we get our e’s… breaks went on we pointed at our bottles which was Evian . So we didn’t lie we was drinking water and we had the most amazing time . Drugs are overrated we all have the endorphins to enjoy . I feel the drugs dissalow the natural respect for beats no mater what genre,,, do some placebo effects in a rave . And let’s see how these eliment of drugs is not for every one. I am 55 yrs .there has been no eeeees no drugs atall water, hohh and a cheeky lager.

@@KenMixtape Thank you so much, That song will shake walls!!!!!
@@brandoncoco7233 Always loved that one myself!
@@KenMixtape Dam Dude your good! spot on! you know your tunes, that brings me back to the good old days
8.13 .... Acen - trip to the moon, thats a proper Tune
Original old skool uk raver here.....im just outside London, started raving in 89 and still going strong.
Didn't actually know that the rave scene kicked off over there, thought it was just a British thing.
Would of loved to have tried some of them clubs (and the pills😉) to see how they compared.
Roots in Chicago, but England ran with it hard. The American scene and Los Angeles scene went through peaks and valleys in the early 90s and it was prematurely called 'dead' by '93 or so until crews such as Insomniac, Technostate, B3 and CPU101 resurrected it, over time attendance at Socal parties rivaled those of our overseas friends.
Awesome documentary. My first dip was Park Avenue on Wilshire... "Club Rain"
Chicago produced house music but white Americans never made the most of it. Why didn't you rave to it in the late 80's like we did?
No access to those sounds, I wish we heard them all we had was breakdance music we could record off the radio some of it was from Chi town
Actually Chicago was influenced by Italian and German Electro / Cosmic Disco. The psychedelic dance scene was around for 30 years before the gay clubs in Chicago were playing house and techno. 👍🏼 Also 12 ragas to a disco beat is an “acid house” album from India made before “Chicago acid house”.
Is this Ben Shapiro narrating... weird.
Oh god, do I sound like that creep??? I hate smoking but will smoke 10,000 cigarettes to alter my voice enough not to...
@@KenMixtape Hahaha no not actually. For a second when I first heard your narration, I thought you sounded similar LOL. After a minute of hearing you talk you didn't sound like him at all, just trolling, great video!
I'm a millennial and I'm just so interested in the history of electronic music its really interesting
watching this is like time traveling this is crazy
_JE9ER510 _ Glad you find it interesting. I made this more than 20 years ago for a school assignment and never thought people would still be watching it, nor that I'd still be heavily involved with the electronic music scene. 47 years old and I still go raving from time to time.
KenMixtape Haha that's so cool man and this documentary is a treasure this needs to be preserved on here so people can just know more about the music we love today great stuff man
KenMixtape Haha that's so cool man and this documentary is a treasure this needs to be preserved on here so people can just know more about the music we love today great stuff man
_ JE9ER510 _ Wish more people from your generation felt the same. What’s been going on in the majority of electronic music the last 15 years has been crap, especially the scene itself.
1992 was the best year!
The first time I ate ecstasy within about 30 minutes of eating it me and a few friends were standing with a man getting ready to go into the rave for the first time that night.
We literally walked right in the venue and were able to get the pills.
Anyway for the life of me I cannot remember what this man told us but I remember it being one of the most beautiful things I had ever heard and by the time he was done I was in tears. It was like in a nutshell he explained to me what raves were really about.
I was down in Texas when this happened and will be forever grateful for all of you who were down there with me. It was such a magical experience.
1990s California: Ravers, ecstacy, bombers aka graffiti writers tagger, gangsters, alcohol, gangster rap music, high murder rates.
Doc' got the last track wrong though, it's not Space Cakes - Kaotic Chemistry it's Illegal Subs - Kaotic Chemistry
@6:11 acid kicks in
Tripped. What DELUX
Everyone say it with me:
K E T A M I N E
Would give my left nut for a liq of K right about now. Somewhere over the last decade or two I got old and don't know where to look anymore. Lol....sorta.
Bad for the renal system
