Those tracks were so much fun at the time! Who's doing that now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the sl2 track will be either on a ragga tip or DJs take control i met altern8 once in stafford macdonalds 2 blokes wearing those dumb rave radiation suits complete with gas masks (& vics) and an 8 foot tall robot which unfortunately decided to shake my hand |

ahh. congress... we're showing our age, smoke...:).. |

*nods* alrern8 were mind numbingly groovy anybody remember that rave version of Carmina Burana??..that was a laff and a half..but still strangely I found myself dancing to it..every single time :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know they were mid-90s but remember Technohead 'I Wanna Be a Hippy'? I preferred the Smurfs 'I Wanna Little Puppy'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I basically recorded everything from this scene on my VHS back in those days. Altern8 had their moments. But I don't like Prodigy anymore, since Leroy left the band. :-/ In fact, this kind of music (breakbeat/rave) does not satisfy me anymore. I even closed my Prodigy site two years ago. |

Charlie was a bit of a monster though, made me smile a few times. |

I know what U mean phobes > I reckon its still classic though, I only seem to listen to it every few years nowadays ! Its' for the memories I tell ya', not really the depth or quality of the music. What were the other kids listening to back then at discos ? Roxette and Timmy Mallett if I remember rightly... now I don't think I'll be wanting to hear them again :) *mental note-Steve Wright-BBC2-Thisafternoon* |

this sounds lame, but MTV actually had a great show covering the uk rave/dance scene in the early 90's. i think it was called "party zone" or something like that. they were broadcasting a lot of goodies - no commercial shit, i tell you. now, MTV has lost their soul. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hehe, Phobiazero: you are starting to show your age. MTV was always soulless, only you were younger back in the day. Although, I will admit that the current MTV (the german version we here can see) is even worse than the early nineties one. It's unbelievably bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes,they have lost their way. The rave/hardcore scene has had a slight resurgence here recently,what with compilations and documentaries etc.}:> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that particular show i mentioned was not soulless :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember that show Phobiazero!! Wasn't it on at 10 o'clock on Saturdays or something? I was about 8 at the time so I wasn't allowed to stay up to watch it, only saw it a few times but loved it. Prodigy, Robin S, SL2, Shamen, ooh it was nice... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know, I remember that show. I didn't particullary like it but i did not particullary hate it either. For what it's worth, most shows today are even more stupid than the old ones. |

anyone remember felix?? 'don't you want me' with that awesome computer grapics video.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, one of my friends really liked that (technohead) and kept insisting he'd have played at his 21st. I said that it would be old by then (we were about 15/16). I don't know if he still plans to have it played :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Felix was great. I have that on "Now 32" :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember Felix... *geez* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol i still have 2 singles. don't you want me and it'll make me crazy. my introduction to techno before i fell for the likes of pearl jam and nirvana what happened to felix anyway? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There was some great pop dance back then: Felix, Rozalla, Moby, Sub Sub and 2 Unlimited (just kidding about the last one). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha! 2 unlimited used to be hollands most important export product! it's true, sadly. they were good for a laugh, though, every now and then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
She was hot too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haddaway- what is love was an early 90s house classic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
make no mistake, she was a cop in real life! and he was a cook! or was it the other way round? hmmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same here man... prodigy had some good stuff until leroy left. 'fat of the land' was also quite good, but frankly, I don't intend to even listen to their new stuff. just not interested. "party zone" (i think the host was simone) was a good show, must be around 96 or 97 when MTV started to focus on halfass boybands and plagiates. what happened to ricky rachtman and his headbanger's ball anyway? :-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
i miss RAY COKES!!!!!!! he was the funny, real nice guy any tv station needs. mtv went downhill the day after he left/got sacked |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You wanna hear something funny? 2 unlimited and Snap (yes, that snap) played over here about 4-5 years ago. I was like, wtf, I thought those bands were longtime gone. Some 400-500 losers attended the show and I saw a little report on local TV. Of course, 2 unlimited were some totally different two people and likewise Snap I imagine. A show for stupid serbs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, her name was/is simone... correct me if i'm wrong but i think leroy is suppose to release some new tracks... solo - but no vocals. interesting. didnt really liked maxim's stuff tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jesus, people, stop praising "old" MTV. It sucked all the way from start, you were just younger. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah 2 unlimited were rejuvenatedwith 2 girls i believe. they were unsuccesful, thank god. they still perform, i do believe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ray was cool - at least back then... always chatting with the cam-man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ray cokes was cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shut up, meho. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I will continue to pursue my righteous path!!! Even the headbangers ball sucked major ass!!! That dead cunt Kurt Cobain showed up in a dress "well, I've dressed up for a ball". No shit? Suck on that shotgun barrel, boy!!! Fuck that shit, the only thing I ever liked about MTV were Beavis & Butthead |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Beavis & Butthead sucks - you were just younger... it's a cartoon godammit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a cartoon? is the simpsons just a cartoon? is south park just a cartoon! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Uh-huh-huh. You guys suck. Uh-huh-huh. I've never had MTV but I find it hard to believe it was ever any good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it is.... *sorry* :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I watched it again last year. They rule huh huh huh huh |
||||||||
|

Anita (who was in the original 2 unlimited) now does drum and bass. Haven't heard it though, a guy on Hotline told me that, and he lives in Holland. He said the tracks were okay, nothing special though. Leroy's already released his debut album about 6 months ago under the name Flightcrank. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The song I used to really dance to and liked back in the day was Dee Lite's "groove is in the heart". GOD, that song is so cheesy now. Although DJ Towa Towa went on to do some pretty cool stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dj Towa Tei. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I remeber those shows! Party zone was not bad but the real treat was "The chillout zone"!!! That was the first pure electronica show I ever saw. I have a few hours of tape in the archive as well from that time, good stuff. 120 minutes was also essential for the electronicaly enclined. Have a couple of 1000 minutes of that as well I think. I actually miss Paul King, he was fun in a geeky kind of way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Back in the day, he was reffered to as Jungle DJ Towa Towa, now he goes by (DJ)Towa Tei. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, yes, I was just demonstrating my wide knowledge of contemporary dance music. I hate his shit, BTW |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'Groove is in the Heart' is a classic. I picked up the 7" the other day at a car boot sale and was chuffed to bits. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I fucken hated the fact that every shmo here thought they were the shit for digging "Groove is in the heart" and pissing on "No limits". Fuck all that. I almost exclusively listened to death metal and grindcore at the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was playing the KLF/Timelords 'Doctorin' the Tardis' last night. Its funny as fuck. I love it. |
