dont repeat the lie about the Ibiza 4 that is BBC bull shit,, what about Timothy Simenon, shut up and dance, & Marrs??? they all started in 1987 in the uk and the chicago sound was around from 86 onwards.. also E didnt get on the scene until about 88.. 86/87 everyone was on Acid/ hash & Speed
So that you hopefully see this:
The A.I. generated thumbnails look terrible.
If you were using them when I first discovered your channel, I never would've clicked and would have avoided your channel like the plague.
Hopefully you don't keep using them. They are really bad.
@@matham625 jimmy has a lot of cap in his vids, you need to learn to just tune it out.
Omg this video is so far off the mark 😂
Interesting side note concerning the US military's experiments with MDMA. Their trials concluded that subjects became too empathetic, too passive, and far more willing to engage with an adversary on non-adversarial terms, thus the chemical had "limited to no tactical value."
Totally a schedule 1 drug, right?
similar to the LSD experiments they did. except the soldiers abandoned their weapons and gear and enjoyed the forest. some climbed trees.
@@buriedintime 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣they thought it would enhance the solider, that is funny becuase native people in the amazon would use LSD type drugs to enhance there senses.
To hunt animals for food they would give it to their hunting dogs, the drugs was so could it was like they had night vision they would hunt at night as well.
That's why it was used tactically and for that purpose.
@@folksurvival🤣
A drug researcher who attended raves says the police would turn up and ignore the drunks who were fighting and arrest the people on drugs who were hugging
That's because evil was and still is at power
I remember going to one rave in the 90s. that ended up with about 600 of us baracaded into a warehouse while the cops tried to break down the VERY heavily baracaded doors. Took em an hour to get in and then things went fucking haywire. Brilliant night, managed to even escape before getting arrests lol
And what if a fire started in the warehouse ?
@@steveroberts9453Bore off Steve, have some fun every now and then.
If you didn’t experience it directly, the late 80’s early to mid nineties was amazing.
Getting garried up, dancing like a tit, hugging everyone around you and just being with 100’s of people with no trouble. No showing off, no pretentiousness just good vibes, amazing tunes and a lot of come downs.
Partying will never be the same as long as people care more about how they look, over having an amazing time whilst out of your tree.
Garries will never be the same again
Who’s garry
@@lettucekisses xtc
@@lettucekissesthe same as Erik lol
@@lettucekissesGarry Abletts= tablets he was a footballer in the 80s and 90s
Waldfrieden Wonderland still has that culture :3
It's hard to describe the feeling to someone who's never done it, but dancing at a rave while fueled with X was an amazing feeling
Where you from?
What you on?
Only did it in my room with a girl blasting out some music, can't imagine what that would have been like at a rave😂
You don't even need E in my experience. But a bit definitely helps to get "loose" and connect with the crowd. Throw some LSD in the mix and you're almost swallowed whole.
@@DMWBN3 nice try FBI.
@@chazzat3113 whaaaat?? Where are you from? Are there no proper parties?
E makes you love each other and Alcohol makes you fight. No wonder E is illegal.

Dependant on the person. I know people who react the opposite to that
It does also completely rid your brain of serotonin, alcohol is not great but it’s definitely not as mentally harmful
"Member", Mitzies and dolphins, biscuits, cowies up toonside, garries elsewhere, rockshots, the basement, arcane, arches, powerhouse, digital... Madheds, charvas, gadgies, little Gav and all that crew... Life was mint❤
No camera phones. No social media.
Just avin' it.
I raved for around 15 years with no photographic evidence (thank fck)😂
I got a pic posted by a photography mob in 2001 on the internet, was at a 12hr festival, I had no shirt on and had a camel pack (water backpack) on and everyone who sees the pic asks if I'm wearing bondage gear lol
@@siryogiwan 🤣
tears in the rain though. nobody will believe it happened. prioritise not being forgotten.
Five mates with five different recollections of the same event is actually far more entertaining than photos 😊
@@christ4749 i know it happened, and i’ve had many a great night with friends too. but in future save some memories, it makes things easier later on
I'm a proud 90s Raver and don't regret it at all. It was the best time I will ever have.
Good for you mate ,Great time Great music 👍
Go raving again. There are loads of OG ravers at every rave. I went to one last night and there were many. Just do it. I guarantee you won't be the oldest person there. I'm not old enough to be an original 90s raver, but I'm old enough to have raved in the early 2000s and I still enjoy it as much as I ever did.
Im a proud 2020s raver, still going strong
none cares grandad
@@astroboirap I can see by your other comments that you are always keen to share love and joy. Pipe down child.

😂 i knowwwe! check out the Brasseye special with his class one liner!
Fackin nice one bruvva!
@@1dorz bruvaaaaaaaa
I said nice one bruvaa
what u on about?
Something id like to add. Illegal freeparties still happen every weekend, southwest UK especially from my experience. It’s come full circle as you mentioned and is most definitely on the rise once again!
how did you find them?
Not only the uk has them, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland which is where I’m from all have amazing raves and rave culture. It’s even outside of Europe and it’s so cool how that idea has travelled across the world and across cultures
Briztol by any chance bro? Ive not been on that scene since back in the day when tribe of frog was still doing them! : )
Theres warehouse parties every weekend in the US still.
EXACTLY!! So much so that I’m now a 50 year old Graver and still party every weekend through out the year! Folkestone is THE town to live in, it’s ‘rave hub’ in Kent! 🙌🙌
Please stop using AI Thumbnails
For real they look like shit
Pretty sure that’s Dylan roof, I thought this video was going to be about something entirely different.
bruh that’s just photoshop
Lol ur just like the government he describes in this vid, wanting to destroy or prohibit anything you dont understand
Next video on hated AI culture please
you got me on pillgrimage
😄 "These efffin' E's are good" -- The Shamen
Ecstasy = ❤️. Thank you ecstasy for all the awesome experiences you have given me.
It should be legal
Its not addicting either
Yeah, it's what it says on the tin!!!
@@wed3k its very much addicting dont spread misconception
Just a shame I don't remember half of it. We used to say that's how you knew it was a good night if you couldn't remember most of it 😆
Let's ask the Miners about how Thancherism "worked for a bit".
Also great video. I love your culture videos.
I think the bosuzoku would make another great video.
Everything "works for a bit". Including ecstasy!
crazy to think all these people are like 55 now
Yes we very much are
I am 56 what's crazy about that🤔😃
53
56 blazing 🔥 legally now raving broke me back ya know
I am 54, I have created a rave in my man cave, lasers, synthesisers, drum machines.
As an old Dutch raver I really like this video, brings back meteorites
such a shame he didn’t mention dutch gabber culture!
@@ipadwijngaarden7755 yeah
i was expecting that too....
You forgot to talk about the Essex and what that lead to in 1996 with the Essex's boys
great vid and thank you for being 1 of the few who knows when it really started, I'm 51 and people refuse to believe me when I say 80s. Here in Australia, they call raves a doof, they hold them in middle of the bush to this day, only it's mostly ket they use.
Human Traffic is my all time favourite doco (lol), it was so on point as a movie portraying the scene and the story was a banger too
nobody will understand it if they've never had a pill, its all so lovely
Great vid. Human Traffic quote at the end, safe as f**k 😂
And I lived through it all and loved every minute. 1989-2004 I was a major clubber, Tribal Gathering, Big Love 96, Sundissential, Club Country, Passion @ Emporium.... there were so many raves and events, they were great times, best nights of my life, never to be repeated!
My husband dj Passion a far few times.
This was a masterful assembly of information dude. Always look forward to your content.
Funk and Soul all-dayers in the 70s and 80s combined with jamaican soundsystem culture had people raving before house music
People been Raving since a caveman started banging two rocks..
nah completely different to "raves", much more mellowed out, like a blues festival is, reason it's called raving is because people were so "raving mad"
@@siryogiwan dance music as I was in the 90s came from that scene tho
Fishing level?
@@eurosonly 83
was waiting for this video since the research stream. great one mate
The moral panic at the time was real. Telling a bunch of reception/year 1 kids at the time about Ecstacy, the week after Dunblane happened was one hell of a mood whiplash
EDIT: To be fair the way I've always heard it from people who were deep into rave culture was they were going for industtrial estates and not rocking up and taking over a town hall and blasting beats. Then you had the club scenes too with club ravers. Hello there Hacienda club for example
Great video as always Jimmy! A good documentary about house music is Pump Up the Volume.
Awesome Vid!
Thank You very much for Your Work! Greetings from Germany
17:48 Orbital :)
Back in highschool (early 2000's) I started to listen artists like Future Sound of London, Orbital, The Prodigy, the Chemical Brothers, Juno Reactor, et cetera. Back then it was all "techno" to me, maybe slighly more intelligent than what was commonly known as "techno" (read: cheap and silly pop dance music, popular at discoteques at the time). Then "Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music" came along, allowing me to educate myself in the matter...
Getting into this music was just a matter of time, I always liked electronic music and artists like Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre and "Synthesizer Greatest" compilations.
First heard the term "rave" when I was reading about The Prodigy - "Music for the Jilted Generation" was supposed to be reaction to the British law essentially banning the rave parties in 1994 (f___ 'em and their law!). I really liked the MFtJG, since two tracks, "Voodoo People" and "One Love" were used in the movie "Hackers". I also liked their first album "Experience" made in style of "breakbeat hardcore" (aka "oldschool rave" - common ancestor of jungle and happy hardcore) and "The Fat of the Land".
the phenomenon so far known as "techno subculture" became known as "rave culture".
I never was at the rave party. But I really like the music, like house (Daft Punk), actual techno (Jeff Mills, Underground Resistance, Chris Liebing, Siasia), trance (Astral Projection, early Juno Reactor), drum and bass (4 Hero, Omni Trio, LTJ Bukem), et cetera. Sadly the internet radio "Digitally Imported" which provided live shows for many electronic music genres, became more and more annoying with ads and then disabled playing links in external music player like Foobar 2000. Luckily the single-style radios, like jungletrain, BassDrive (drum and bass) or deepinradio (deep house) still work.
When it comes to the culture, I think the PLUR (peace love unity respect) was not only nice, but also very different from how "techno" fans were stereotypally portraied, mostly by metalheards (read: gopniks/chavs constantly high on drugs (usually amphetamine), making lots of noise and acting violently towards anything that moves). I like the idea that people may throw away their differences, like race, nationality or sexual orientation and just party together like there's no tomorrow. After all, we're all humans, you know? Place where you can be accepted no matter who you are sounds like a paradise to someone like me - socially anxious, awkward and not really feeling welcome anywhere.
It's really sad that moral panic around rave parties made MDMA illegal, despite being successful in treating PTSD and could be very promising for severe social anxiety disorder. Taking drugs at the parties is risky (to say the least), but if they can help people, they should be allowed for psychiatric use, at least IMHO.
Iskur's guide was great. They don't have websites like that anymore. Before Flash was discontinued.
I was a candy raver in the 90s.
This is quite the throwback 😊
You're my new favourite channel. Narration style is concise and entertaining. On top of that the topics you choose shed a new light and give new perspective on events that I have lived through.
Ravin from the 90s and still ravin now 🥳 keeps you young
"Member", Mitzies and dolphins, biscuits, cowies up toonside, garries elsewhere, rockshots, the basement, arcane, arches, powerhouse, digital... Madheds, charvas, gadgies, little Gav and all that crew... Life was mint❤
I love your documentaries have watched three or four of them now!
We'll made and engaging presentation! Great job!
Awesome video man been waiting on this one 😁
great video keep up the work
Half a dove in ‘89 - 🤩
3 Mitsi Turbo’s in ‘98 - 😴
Triple stack blue dolphins were fucking nuts
I was just thinking that.
Used to pay a score for one and you'd only need the one: double-dropping was hardcore.
@@vids595 Speckled Rolexes gave you a chin like buzz lightyear
Purple ohms and doves were blinding.
No need to keep topping up all night.
Doves 🕊 was amazing 👏
Well researched and well done. Great video. Thanks.
Great video, this has got to be one of the most interesting origin stories of any musical genre. The way this style of music evolved into even more genres of music like trance or happy hardcore is always fascinating to me.
That clip at 7:48 was sampled by Slam Inducer in the song "You Know Acid", watchers of Babestation in the early days will recognise it well! Loved this vid, took me way back!
Babestation lmao!
Can't say I recognise it from Babestation lol, but despite never actually 'seeing' this interview before (until just now), I was still able to recite more or less the whole thing word for word due to the samples used in CamelPhat's track 'World in Action' 😅 ...Absolute banger of a tune
anybody know the record at 11:56? It's the rave footage from when Hitman & Her filmed at Eclipse in Coventry? Frantic, early 90s hoover-sounding techno. Sounds like the nightclub was about to blast into orbit at a moment's notice.
Sounds like one of the Belgian techno records but couldn't tell you the name. might come to me later.
@@ThomasDylanThomas please and thank you.
In the early to mid 90's I used to get booked for Raves and took between 30 and 60 fire / stage performers, put on massive pyrotechnic shows with flame throwers, explosives and big trucks with 40ft towers and all sorts, performed with Orbital, Fat Boy Slim, Carl Cox and loads more, they were the daze. The main outside shows would get up to 20k people watching.
Been waiting for this. I’m a DnB DJ from London and am completely obsessed with 90s rave culture. I also partake in throwing parties in not so licensed venues. You can’t kill the dance
JUNGLIST
I was a 90's kid going to raves in Austin...gooooood times I miss those days! Didn't even do drugs was just there for the music lol.
Loved this! So happy that i experienced 90's raves every weekend. Best times of my life \o/
This was my era. Great video essay mate.
THANKS JIMMY, that timeless classic line.
Love you
A friend of mine tried an "E" for the first time a couple of months ago, at the age of 54. He had a great time and wished he'd done it when he was young, if only to make the music more palatable. I should point out that "he" would never condone the consumption of amazing illegal pharmaceuticals that make you feel awesome. 😉
I'm glad your friend enjoyed ☺.... Never too late for new life experiences 👍
@@Rachel_M_ My er... "friend" had a great time, thank you. 😉
Dreadful? House and techno music is the greatest invention since sliced bread!
@@pistolen87 I think it depends on your state of mind. (Literally) 😂
@@FatNorthernBigot Sure, drugs elevates music, but I listen to house and techno every single day, without taking any drugs.
"What's your name? What've you had?...Reach for the lasers.... Safe as Fuck" hahaha :)
I loved this video. Most of it wasnt new info to me - which I only mention to point out how much I enjoyed it despite that. I remember being in primary school in the mid 90s and my brothers buying me the ministry of sound annual, basement jaxx, northern exposure, renaissance worldwide and more as my first CDs.
I remember my classmates telling me they hated "doof doof music" and that electronic music was a phase, it wouldn't last and I'd grow out of it! Turns out I moved to Berlin, still go to clubs / parties and can't imagine life without electronic music.
I love these old videos and I love talking to old ravers from that era. Cheers for the video mate.
Great video Jim
Good breakdown again, Jimmy. Could've had another 15 minutes on that topic. Love how yr new style is evolving. Respect.
Glad you enjoyed it!
only 15? he could have done a couple hours on it lol
You should do a video on the people that would travel around and follow the Grateful Dead back in the 70’s/80’s
Still you get better with each new video jimmy. I was running a pirate radio station(Cyndicut fm) back in the late 90’s and early 00’s. Would be great if you could cover the pirate radio scene, and id be happy to help with any questions you might have about it. Keep striving, your smashing it dude
Kiss fm, the tuning the radio to the end of the scale.
What was the tv show with michaela going around all the clubs?
@@Threadbow Hitman and Her
@@CypressHill666 oh yes. Thank you
If I could travel back in time to any point, it would be to the early days of raves and free parties in the late 80s and early 90s. Forget ancient Rome or 1960s San Fransisco.
lol the girl with the parking situation just wants to have fun. I hope she's doing well today.
She certainly was then lol
Love the footage of raving gabber people that was filmed in a Dutch disco near my hometown. I always have the feeling that I remember all of them from the local bus station back in the nineties. And all of them were constantly chewing. 😀
Just found your channel and enjoying lots of your videos and topics. I also agree with alot of your perspectives on things!
Just seen your mk video 😄 I am from mk, everything you said is very true
Jimmy Jimmy keep up the good work loving the evolution of you videos from the early days.
The government hates when people all get on well and have a great time. MDMA should 100% be legal.
When you discussed the impact of ecstasy, I was very suddenly and deeply moved. For a second, I was taken back to those times and that feeling. The value of that time, something that changed forever those who were there. I am 52 now. I won't bore you with my story, but suffice it to say - I lived full time in Ibiza from 2009-2021. The rave ethos is very personal to me. P.L.U.R. 🤪🤩
Really interesting video!! 👏
If they hadn't started cutting the E wi all sorts of shite, we'd all be hugging with sore jaws right now. 😅
So true. I loved sweeties in the 90s, super strength, ferrari. Listening to ultrasonic and Scott Brown.
@scottish5696 absolutely 💯. I was listening to TTF on my way to training at lunchtime today lol
Bruh ecstasy’s stronger and cleaner than it has ever been maybe if you didn’t abuse it and fry all your synapses it’d still do somet you dullard
@derekgray644 the time frequency.
@scottish5696 yes mate. New Emotion and Real Love (originals), not the updated remixes.
You should really look into the dutch Gabber scene
Yes, I've wanted this
God no 😂
Great upload❤❤
Never seen that movie you showed but that scene gave me a gut punch feeling because it was so real. Continue to have fun but be safe too my friends.
Nicely done ☺
From an old skool raver
Mate you may want to put a flashing lights warning around the 3 minute mark
Er... it's a video about raves. Do we need "contains nuts" on packets of nuts?
Love your content
Back again, with the topics of I might not think of looking into but are interesting and relatable. G 👊🏿
At this point I'm convinced there's not a single uninteresting topic
@@skythundersky1544 don’t blame you
Yes! Do a video about that cult. Thank you and please.
it's already been done 'Wild, Wild Country'
bad ai thumbnail is bad
Bad comment is bad
I mean honestly not a great thumbnail. It caught my attention so it worked but I had no clue it was supposed to be ravers
Good comment is good
you have such clever takes. I really enjoy every word of it.
1992-1995 was similar on Grateful Dead tour. The crowds had gotten so massive…trouble was soon to follow. After a gate crashing episode at the Deer Creek show, everything felt wrong. And then tour ended forever shortly thereafter.
I miss it dearly, I know you old ravers miss the high times with old buddies too…much love and respect to you all…Tom
Love your presentation style. Hope you hit 1 mil subs!
By the time this started The Beastie Boys had already released Paul's Boutique, what hip-hop historians agree is the first modern sampling techniques, so house music probably suppressed real hip-hop for a while.
oh no.
Dem think it’s over but we not done yet
I loved the very early days from late 1988 to early 1991, i sold my SL1200's in February 91 as i knew it was over then, picked up a guitar and got into rock n roll instead and i'm still on that boat today!
You're doing something special that changed the lives of millions for the better a massive disservice by using that thumbnail
Honestly it's a genius way to weed you ai clowns from the channel. Cause my God the only thing more obnoxious than the pro ai crowd is the sanctimonious holier then all anti ai people
I really think you guys would change minds a lot better if you all weren't so insufferable and holier then though with this AI stuff. Like I haven't seen a single anti ai person that's not a rabid asshole like the same kinda crowd that's attracted to being woke so they can constantly tell everyone how much better they are
God I keep laughing every time I read this. You're doing something special and changed the lives of millions 😂
fuckin hell mate and to think no one takes yall seriously
It didn’t end in the 90’s.. it carried on and it’s still happening today. on the illegal side techno prevails. In the early 2000 ketamine arrived, and completely destroyed the peace a love ecstasy scene. The Era of the Zombies started. 😢
I am always shocked ket became so popular, it always seemed such a niche drug to me. Maybe it's just me but I had no fun on it
Excellent video. I love your cultural reporting, Jimmy. Safe as phúc.
Good content! ❤
I'm a simple man, I see a new video from Jimmy, I like. Simple as.
I was in my late teens during the rave era. I didnt do the drug part but I remember the House and Acid House(still listen to it). I went to one rave, in Merton I think it was. A big warehouse club called The Juice Bar. No booze, no drugs but we had the music and we STILL had an epic time :)
Damn, I loved this!
Saying raves never died it's like saying disco lives on forever 😅
very dissapointed that the gabberhouse and movement from rotterdam wasn't mentioned
Some Gabberheads can be seen in 19:47 I guess.
Great and accurate documentary of what happened. I was there and it was absolutely the best of times. Rave on!
lovin the content
The British pronunciation of Ibiza as "Eyebeefa" is CRAZY omg
Love your videos btw.
So how do you American's pronounce it.

just came across your channel, quality work.
btw yeah please cover the american mdma cult at 4:45 hahaha
man i love your videos but you’ve got to stop using these heinous AI generated thumbnails. it’s lazy and unethical not to mention the art is so ugly it doesn’t justify the use in my opinion.
Shit, lazy opinion
Lmao. unethical.
Great video mate. Not exactly how I remember it, but I guess that's obvious. I was living on site and no one got away with calling us hippies. One thing you picked up on, that really holds true, is that people organised together, whether it was Anarcho Punk, Techno, Acid House Psychadelic Rock; we all shared the stage and danced. There was unity. I remember going to Reading and watching Poisoned Electric Head, along with Acid DJ's and Punk bands. What a night, totally good. The festival thatreally stands out from that era, was Treworgy Tree Festival in Cornwall.
I spent the 90's at the warehouse parties around London. You'd get the odd hippy, but most were definitely not 😁 Most of the people I was with were punks. Always found it funny being at a rave on a Saturday night and seeing random ravers I was chatting with at a death metal gig on a Thursday night. It took all sorts
Intresting thanks for this Ciaran a bit of history better Than my history class
I was a Raver back in The 90z in Philly. We where Polo raverz. Triple xl Polo from head to toe bleached hair and nike air-max..lots of outlaw raves. It was a wild ass time. Glad i was there.
Pigeon having its head bitten off, was ozzy in attendance by any chance
Thanks for the (hazy) memories 😂❤
