Oi...:grr:

Great tales of derring do by the way, of which I've experienced a good few gringe-ridden parties miself, but...

...twould be nice if you guys actually posted something to do with the thread ya great bananas...

Mi dummies coming right out eh...

[rhythmtech]

oh yeah

like i said "build up the pressure"

[wrong]

I didn't understand the thread.. was it saying that if you put a sitar or whatever it was through all those effects, you'd be capable of producing the greatest riff ever heard? I reckon a hammond organ through a bit crusher sounds nice

[dirty_bass]

was that the lad with the mousey long hair from insanity? they were young lads werent they?

what happened him?


remember RSNK :cheese:

Insanity young??!!!
Your kidding, he was one of the original soundsystems from the early 90`s.
He was about 40 when I got to know him in 97.
I think the young lad with the mousey hair maybe one of his DJ`s at the time, not sure.
No insanity was never younguns though, you must have the wrong rig in mind.

Can`t remember, if they were youngsters they probably didn`t last long. Probably got heavy at some point and they vanished.

Crossbones were fairly youg, but it wasn`t them.

Hehe, I was in my early 20`s then, but I was one of the youngest guys along with naughty Lee Manik, at the time, who was running parties.

I can`t say I remember em.
They weren`t any of the main rigs during united systems days.
Maybe some out of town boys.
hmm, might have been Sonic, his crew change devery hour.
Panik maybe?
Wasn`t Stinky Pink, although they did have some younguns play on the rig now and again.

I have no idea.

[rhythmtech]

you any old pics from back then?

[dirty_bass]

Yeah, I have some, on good old fashioned proper photo paper.
None of this digital camera lark then.

I don`t think the party scene did anyone too good if they were connected to it for too long a time mate.
I`m one of the few rig owners who left at the death of the scene, without a major drug addiction.
I entered that scene in the naievity that it was full of open minded people all together for the love of music, and found myself deep in a snowdrift of gangsters, thieves and drug addicts.
Obviously there was good people and good times, but the closer I got to the reality of it, the more I was dissapointed.
In a way I`m glad it all fell apart in the end.
It had to.

Great days though ey?

Did you ever go to any of the legendary Beachy road parties?
Or Eley St
The Pentagonal building at waterloo
Brewery Lane
Carpenters Road
Canning town arches (great outdoor raves they were)
The old Sweet factory
Green Dragon yard
Canada Water (very naughty)
Turnpike lane cinema
Wood green bingo hall.

Great great parties.

And why did sonic always have shagging crusties at his parties.
What was that all about?
very very wrong

lol i was at pratically all those parties, played a t a few of them. Altohugh can't remember which in my time distorted mind where nearly every party in my memory is confused to the point i can remember tihng s happening but not at what party, could have all been one long party form what i remember. Actually think it was one long party.

My mate still hang out with tony two trousers. Plays funky/tech house now and has 3 kids.

[dirty_bass]

It was one long party wasn`t it?

Clean up and set up Friday night, sleep in building.
Saturday decorate a bit, take calls organise other rigs for building.
Saturday night sort out phone lines, start party.
Sunday Night/Monday morning, pack up, clear out.
Monday, Bed.
Tuesday, wednesday, maybe thursday, scouting locations.
Thursday-friday, Enter chosen location.
Friday, clean up, set up.

Oneeee looooonggggg paaaaarrttyyyyyyyy!!!

[Little_Fella!]

Tell you what though...

Going to all those parties were pretty much the best experiences I've ever had in my life...

Alot of punters don't realise, including me before I was shown, how much time and effort goes in to what can essentially be a life long memorable experience for them...

So those that put the time and effort in putting these parties on, hats off to you all... :BigThumbUp:
