I was 17 years old, living with mum, no responsibility, smoking weed every fucking day listening to tunes. No social media, phone's. People were fucking real. Now I'm 47 with 2 kids and a mortgage with interest rates going through the fucking roof. Not to mention tiktok🤷♂️🤦♂️ 1993, what a time to be alive👌
I'm 37 and renting room and board at my grandmothers for £100 a week (break up) and I'm lay up after spinal fusion surgery smoking bud every other day lol. I have kids and responsibilities though but I forget at times and for a few seconds I feel free again lol 😆
Well done for having the foresight In capturing a brief glimpse of some very important UK social history which can not and will not be repeated ever again.
Yes, and the peace-love-unity-respect of these nights notwithstanding, the little interviews also inwittingly shine an interesting light on the UK class system with, for example, Peckham-style leave-it-out Rodney off his head and making words up while Eastbourne boarding-school Ossi seems in fuller posession, no pun intended, and destined, possiby, to a little more privilege in life?
When the lad, Lee's talking about the different styles at that venue alone, it shows how fast things were moving! The rave/club scenes, the sub-genres, amount of new records, artists and DJ's. Everything was shifting at a crazy pace! So much imagination, experimentation, talent and focus, on the production side of things. I was still a bit too young at the time, but had an insight, through older friends and a lad my age, who got access via his bouncer brother-in-law. Rocking his Pandemonium: Andromeda bomber jacket to school. Best wishes out there. To those who lived it, knew it, or are maybe just discovering such an incredible era! God bless x
Bruv we was lucky, it was an amazing time to be young. The crowd at Lazer were live, when people started brocking out, the metal gantry would start banging up and down, it was nuts.
Yeaaaah! The Lazerdrome!!! What a place! if I wasn’t there between 1991 and 95, I was at Labyrinth, Paradise Club or somewhere similar. Damn I’m grateful for the 90s! I have managed to swerve the marriage/children/mortgage/boss scenario and so I’m still up to my old tricks. It’s just harder to find somewhere to go and dance to some proper Jungle. Shout out to the 265-267 Rye Lane massive, passing through.
I started going to Labyrinth in my early teens. Used to sneak out my parents’ house, catch the last tube to Dalston, rave my tits off, catch the first tube back in the morn and climb back into bed and be at breakfast later in the morn, still rushing trying to be as normal as possible… The garden / chill out area at the Four Aces was where I met some of the wickedest lovely people ever. Miss those days. Big up n much love
Wicked club, great memories in 93 - 94. Proper hardcore rave club, a cornerstone of the London scene. ‘94 was better as the jungle got really established and the sound matured. Big up all Lazerdrome massive.
It was. Voted best club 3 years in a row (Elevation rave awards)! Crazy for a dodgy venue on my estate in Peckham! Even crazier that it won above Elevation, who were running the awards!
For real....at Peckham Audio! Wicked little venue. Cheap booze, great sound! Me and my mates who went Lazerdrome BITD love that Peckham Audio is just up the lane from where Lazerdrome used to be! We're middle-aged with wives and kids, but still love raving! (When the wives let us!!!)
Really!? i didn't know..i missed out first time round due to stupidly thinking it'd be best to stay with my now ex when I'd throught of moving to London to be in the scene when it was breaking.. do you think folk would mind the fact I'm an old geezer now!? :(
I went to the Innersense 30th Birthday party at Peckham Audio last year. Wicked event, probably the best old school event I've been to because it was pure underground bizzle, tunes only ravers who were about at the time would know. I also saw a couple of breddas I ain't seen for 25+ years....good to reconnect! Went Tim Reaper's FutureRetro night there a couple of weeks back too. Good to see new generation carrying the sound on. Different type of crowd to my day though, all posh kids, but that's all good, nice to see next gen' junglists!
@MCcheck97 Yup, he wasn't a local! I was, lol! I grew up on the estate where Lazerdrome was located. TBH, raving was an escape from fights / confrontations on an almost daily basis on the ends, while growing up poor. Wouldn't change it for the world though! I met headz from all walks of life out raving, but the Hardcore and Jungle sound was ultimately a working class, lower middle class scene. It's different now. It's all posh headz, but they're keeping the new school jungle scene alive, so fair play to 'em!
I'll check my record collection to see if I can figure out which songs are on the video. Right now I don't have time but I will make time to do it at a later time.
This club by this point would start to develop a dangerous reputation at odds with the rave culture..alot of south London dealers were operating out of there on a sat night..
Jungle started to attract clashing crews etc in a lot of clubs and so lots of venues stopped letting people put on Jungle nights in a lot of places and cities
@@CastleHassall Never knew that...by 1994 the garage room was still excellent but the main room was simmering with issues with the bouncers throwing people out every 50 seconds..I think the Paradise club developed a similar problem
When the rave scene and clubbing was good. Now it’s dead, thanks to local authorities, property developers and lack of innovation in the dance music scene.
Nah, it's just changed. Day raves and festivals have been huge for a while now. Ain't the same as the 90's though (and *never* will be).....we were raving in proper ropey venues like Lazerdrome (my favourite), Bagley's, Labyrinth and Roller Express (and a ton of others!) I'm just glad I was there! Oh, if you're the producer Peekay, big up!!! Bought some of your riddims BITD (jungle and garage - if the garage Peekay is you too lol), they were wicked mate, respect! Deep Physics is the one rudeboy!
also lots of people just stay in and look at their phones all theur lives and most of their "friends" they never see in real life.. myself included sadly
@@Jnoooooopeople who did a lot of stuff back then built up to doing a lot in a night through a long time of doing them.. but i would not recommend it to anyone who thinks oh I'll give that a shot

1993, what a time to be alive👌
U still having a sneaky puff? They were the bloody days right?!! Loved it!!😂
Early 90s were the best years, m8t. Raving it large 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
that's the thing i miss.. the fact people used to actually hang out with each other in real life.. no one seems to much these days
It feels teens nowadays aren't real teens anymore. They are, boring af.

"The majority of people don't take drugs but you do get that element"
90s bouncer
yeah.. search them to take their drugs off them to make sure they got the whole market, and sell what's confiscated too

@@breakfreak3181 Told.
Indeed it was a great time parting. Those were the days. I’m now 50 and surely miss it.

@breakfreak3181 fair play, Peckham Audio is a quality little venue

@@jimellemore2329
MC White Lox.....that's a blast from the past!
Love it ! Used to go every week 🎉thanks for sharing
Can't believe Borat was around back then.
😂 That dude "I don't really like the music I just come out because of my friends" dressed and gurning like that you ain't fooling nobody maaaate 🤣
He's probably a Dr or barrister now based on where he went to college lol
Judging by his hat, he would've been more into what would evolve into Happy Hardcore in 94. Not a Junglist.
Just incase his mums watching 😂

@@breakfreak3181 why you want to bring class into it...?
God i loved Lazrdrome
me too. they're doing a reunion in september btw
That would be cool man
@ANNOYINGTROLL123
The reunion was wicked mate! I went with a few mates. Did you make it down? Saw Sonia and Probe, but no Mr Fish!
@ Grace
Same....I was there most weekends (unless I was at other raves!) from late '92 to when it shut!
Tack för filmen Leif. Det måste ha varit kul att bevittna detta, där på den tiden :)
Det stämmer så bra.
These Two at 4:00 reminds me Of Kevin and Perry for some reason 😂😂 I’m surprised this hasn’t been sampled in a tune tbh Lol
“You get the occasional beer-heads…”
This place was fuc king awesome so many memories made here back in the very early nineties ❤
Amanda and Curt haven't got time for Ossi's coyness, they're just "Yeah, we're all full of pills. What about it?"
To think they are probably 50 odd now 😂
Dam this brings back some great memories
Beach party's the lot
And a bit Lazer shooting in the week days
Thanks for the upload.
"Good Night Out"
Fucking Legends
😁
I'd do anything to go back for some decent gear 🤣🎵
Yeah boi
The Devil: “Anything???”
Two very different types of music.The hardcore room, later jungle and the house music at the front area that was also brilliant :)
Now flats
That’s three rooms. Hardcore Jungle and House. Let’s be real tho, hardcore will always be the best.❤ 1992/3 era
Quality establishment. Used to go Saturday nights 1992-1993 Mainly. Labrynth Friday night and Lazerdrome Saturday. What a weekend
Loved lazerdrome used to go every week but was a bit shady coming out of their 6am in the heart of Peckham 😂
It was the queue to get in that was Shady daylight made Peckham High Street look a bit better lol
The stares from businesspeople were great.
@@syrus3k I forgot to mention Southwark Council did a art install and information about laser drone give it a Google
Are Amanda and Curt still together?
I don't know if they are still together.
I don't know if they are still together.
They look like they were related.
I went to my first jungle rave at Lazerdrome.
Innersense?
I'm on speed and a half a RUbARB CUSTARD............ Just hearing that gave me chills, Fuck me running what I do for 1 or 1000 of those today!!!!!
Or maybe a China white or snowball lol
The size of Ossi's pupils 😂😂
He's feeling NICE
He's holding together really bloody well considering
Innersense 30th Birthday tonight at Peckham Audio. I'm looking forward to it!
Remember when Randall won the best dj award there good times junglist massive
Was that Kevin and Perry at the end?. ‘We’re just havin’ a great time Mrs Patterson.’
seems like the algo is digging this video
This video is hilarious though everyone looks very happy lol
Loved it in 1992 with my best mate at the time, Jenny Johns! Come down sundays were rough though!!😂
Where it was ? I like a early rave scene .
So fresh
Peckham, London
Would love a soundtrack list of the songs heard in the video
I'll check my record collection to see if I can figure out which songs are on the video. Right now I don't have time but I will make time to do it at a later time.
Any idea what the track right at the end is?

lazerdrome and rhubarbs amazing,spectacular BOSH!!
Rhubarb's were the fucking business 🙃
@@vagabondslotmachine me and my mate went swimming on rhubarb and custards ,will never forget that amazing experience

Thank you for doing this ☺️
Used to go lazedrome and get in for nothing cause I new the doorman Mr 🐟
That raver couple would be mid fifties now. I'd love them to post a comment 🤠
Lazerdrome was the bollocks. Loved that place went there loads 94/95.
Remember Sally managing the guest list, what a club. So many artists went there... Hyper on e...beccles mafia when it comes to tunes...
Lee looks like he's already coming up while doing the documentary
I raved there my god brings back memories
This was the place to be back in the day, innersense at lazerdrome.
i bet that bouncer made a packet confiscatting and reselling pills
modus operandi of that field
Good work if you can get it!
This club by this point would start to develop a dangerous reputation at odds with the rave culture..alot of south London dealers were operating out of there on a sat night..

I used to operate the laser in there when I was 20 for a tenner a night :0) Innersense crew!!!

what a Great job to have! a tenner went a lot further back then too!
Pursuit through Darkness by Lemon D, what a tune!
White gloves , god that takes me back .
"You can't do half, my crew laughs at your rhubarb & custard verses..."
Little did Ossi know, he was part of something legendary.
Had many a good night in the Lazerdrome.💕
Big up Mr Fish how's ya father
This is us

wicked club those were the days. bigups
my home lazer game by day rave by night it was a great time we had
“I’m on speed and half a rhubarb and custard, a good night out” Good old fashioned, clean fun
Yeah,uh ecstasys the main drug, I mean if my massive hat didn't give it away! Bless, Innersense at Lazerdrome was awesome at this time ❤
Anyone know the track at 2mins 17?
Dj Seduction Sub Dub on Impact records
Amanda & Kurt have to be brother and sister surely?
I loved the bridge there. If you stopped dancing it would still be moving u up n down due to other dancers. Happy days bathing in the later lights!!
Yeah I said the same thing in another comment! We were so lucky growing up in the nineties
Brilliant video!
loved lazerdrome
lol doorman’s saying about confiscating, but everyone’s on it and the couple reveal they’re on speed, 😂
Once they find a dealer they confiscate the drugs and bosh em nights off 😀
Loved lazerdrome.
Пожилое уже поколение.

Went a few times. Good night's but turned moody later on.
That's Peckham for ya
I used to smashout so many little fellas at Lazerdrome lol
“Once they find a dealer they confiscate the stuff and…”
…Sell it to the ravers…
Exactly
I pissed myself laughing when he said that
05:24 - he wasn't fucking wrong, lol!!!
This is my second one...
What...pills this hour?
🤪
❤ Lazerdrome ❤
3:59 .. classic moments
As a teenager I'd linger outside hoping to hear something
Ossi is a bundle of fun and laughs too party out with ffs
couldn't of interviewed anyone further from a typical regular to the place. Didn't even like the music 😂
Only been Lazerdome once and I was rushing on about 8 pills the most I've ever done.
My eyes couldn't stop blinking 🤪
Couldn't have been good ones if you needed 8.
@@Jnoooooo they were broken biscuits and we had already been rushing for two days... and my tolerance is very high

Times when the pills 💊 were very good
