- In this new world of drops, collaborations, and new fits, often forgotten are the grails of the past. Hidden Heat brings the world of vintage back to the conversation. Highsnobiety’s vintage aficionado, Jeff Carvalho, takes us around the world to find and show us how to price vintage clothes, records, and other lost valuables.
For our second episode we dive deep into the universe of American rave flyers, trippin’ across the U.S.A. to speak to American rave scene OGs like DJ Frankie Bones, Scotto of NASA, graphic designer Gregory Homs, DJ Garth of Wicked Records, Guadalupe Rosales of the Map Pointz archive project, and Rick Klotz of FreshJive.

Hey whaddaya know, at 24:37 my Insomniac flyer design made it in! I'm stoked to be included in this untold story of US Rave flyer history, and right after the interview with Rick Klotz/ Fresh Jive, who was a huge inspiration for me and the LA underground in general. Thanks all, and Rave on!
This shit is bonkers ! My boy just randomly spotted me on this doc (around 10:10) and put me on..Salute on that footage!! Good times---OowopTheDon 👍🙏💪 💯
Hi this is a message to scotto just wantedna say it's good to see you. It's been a long time since the early days and I was the one that used to supply the sound for you at the at the loft Saint Pete. Sound and other events it's good to see you again pete
What a beautiful time to be alive and thriving!
Yes,,,,,, I found what I've been looking for,,,, insomniacs 12thand hope ave,is where I started 93-94,,at14years old,, I still pass by the old location,, they're still using it for fashion,,, alot of great L.A djs played there,, I even seen joey beltram due energy flash live,, R.A.W was resident there,, so many great memories in seeing the Latino flyers for dp's,,thanks for posting this it made my day,,,,,
Thanks CZcams algorithm, I just found this. I have a big box of LA flyers from the hard house party scene in the 90s and LA rave scene. Nothing before or after has looked like rave flyers. They caught my attention from the start and I just started stashing as many as I could get my hands on. Great great times!
21:20 Cyberkid!
I went to parties in the Midwest! I have saved all my flyers. I got in to it in the mid 90s but still so special to me. This a very cool documentary!!
Great video. Loving the NASA flyers especially.
This was beautiful. Those NASA flyers are still fire.
Need the track list btw.
instaBlaster.
That's one kick-ass piece of history. I was fortunate to experience the rave scene in and out of Boston since 1990. Went to hundreds of parties, loved every second of it. I have hundreds of flyers from literally tons of raves from all over the East Coast. I'm def gonna photo them and show them off. Always admired the art of the rave flyer.
Highsnobiety, Jeff, Robin & team did a great job on this, was fun to be a part of it! Catch our NASA history, videos, full flyer archives and NASA merch available for sale on all the designs you see at Scotto.tv and on studio4312.com #Scotto #NASA #DjScotto #KIDS #PartyMonster
+scottotv -- props on you for holding on to that hair! Shit is glorious still!
The comment below about Techno originated in Detroit. Yes, from Detroit. Chicago. New York. In the 80's the music became the soundtrack to the U.K. Rave scene which emerged in 1988. We brought back Rave Culture to the United States. It started on both coasts in 1990 - L.A. & New York. San Francisco and by 1993 moved West & East until every city in the country had a scene.
Wow! Frankie you are a rave legend.
Awesome documentary! I would have watched the whole thing if it was 2 hours long. I have massive stacks of flyers from the SF Bay Area from 91-01, and then some from 03-04. Always intended to do something with them but have never gotten around to it.
Send us pictures of them video@highsnobiety.com
@@highsnobiety Will do. I've been wanting to scan them for years, actually. I'll start with pics, but you're going to have to give me a few weeks. Unfortunately have a very major surgery tomorrow that will be followed by a lot of recovery and rehab. But I will for sure get them to you. I've mentioned them to other people in the past and no one was particularly interested.
@@dumbstupid5065 Good luck with everything! We wish you a speedy recovery.
@@highsnobiety Thank you to everyone on the other side of this reply. I'm scared out my mind, to be honest. Your kind words are deeply appreciated.
@@dumbstupid5065 are you alright now??
Bones is the realest dude there ever was. I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with him. He’s not the “celebrity dj” type. He’s just a raw regular dude at his core.
I cant wait till i pull my old early 90's flier collection out of storage! It will be like going back in time! thanks for the preview of what is to come!
Los Angeles had the best Flyers and best Warehouse Raves. L.A. Goes Bananas flyer is the Sickest flyer ever, also The Big Blue Marble Flyer and Rave. Summer 92 flyer is also an awesome flyer and was a great Rave and my best Rave I ever went to was The Batman Rave in a hidden spot in Downtown Los Angeles.
Printing a bunch of scans of these would be pretty cool to decorate a room with.
So dope, keep this type of content coming
MAn I still go to 1015 Folsom in San Francisco. That club got historical vibes.
The birthplace of raves in America was in downtown Los Angeles in the summer of 1989. Thankfully It is all documented on video. Once I had set up 16 mm film projections at 150 of the first parties during the first few years. I would always video record the visual installations that I made and talk to all the people at the events. I would often sell a few copies of the tape to the event producer for their personal memories. 34 years later and the digital transfers look great. Hopefully you can all peek at them soon.
Where can we see your videos?
Would love to see your videos!
Amazing History!!! Some of em old school flyers still can hold the test of time "Wicked" logo be my favorite • Honest™
Fantastic 🎉❤
Great job! You definitely repped that properly. Got plenty of doubles and triples of a lot of 92 -94 era if anyone is interested. Cool to see so many familiar faces in this!
Hey there, do you still have those flyers?
Such an incredible doc, thanks so much. I'm from LA and had so many flyers but I'm an idiot and misplaced them all. 😔 Thanks for bringing back the great memories.
My day's in Rave Circa 92!
In America we have a dj that goes by the name of Doc Martin and he's the man I thank God he's a huge part of my life thats right I said it he's been killing it in Los Angeles since the days
I saved 4 years of NYC flyers from 93 - 97. They were at my parents house and my Mom threw them out a couple years ago without my knowing.
I really wish you would have covered A&A Graphics, MPYRE GRFX, Monochrome, Z Graphics, etc. for the Los Angeles section. It's cool to have a someone who collects flyers, but hearing about how Ragga Muffs would not only design the flyers but also the art installs at the event would have been SO much cooler to hear it from Lenny V, who actually worked at A&A Graphics, hub of quality rave flyers.
Love this
Ya man, I was a regular at kinkos. Cutting out this and that, gluestick it to the flier, make a copy. Then copy the copy on card paper...
I have 1000s and some are full page, fold out posters, small photos and others, mailers that are basically story fliers
I CAME UP WITH THE CONCEPT FOR THE 5 DOLLAR BILL FOR FRY FOR 5...TERESA DESIGNED IT THOUGH.
Pssssh, you forgot buzz/Fever/Ultraworld. Stand up D.C. and Baltimore!
I have 1k SF 90s fliers all in perfect condition..i have no idea how they made it home like that, i was so lit on e
Do you have extra copies you don’t mind parting with?
Good one.❤️
Kids was not filmed at nasa it was only talked about as NASA kids NASA was at the tunnel
great video!
this was great!
Can we get a tracklist?
Yes! We will get one for you asap.
@@highsnobiety The documentary was absolute FIRE. Really well paced and edited. And I have to say that examining rave culture through flyers and graphic design is a very interesting and novel approach to the topic. Really, congrats.
Thanks!
Garth's segment is Twenty Minutes of Disco Glory (The Acid Rock Mix). That's probably the most easily identifiable track, at least for me, because it's permanently ingrained on my DNA. I recognized another one by name but now I can't seem to locate it again (without watching the entire video over).
Highsnobiety where is the tracklist !!!
Freelance was also big in the flyer distribution,, with the cyberkid parties promoting dr.sisko alex I when parties were thrown at the pico rivera sports arena,,,😂
I remember some of them NYC flyers. and the bit about Flatbush? wtf, i lived in Flatbush neighbourhood my whole childhood, and never heard of these parties. to think i'd take the subway to manhattan just to chill at NASA not knowing about Flatbush.
such a sick video
The guy around 11:00 reminds me of alig.
dope
stan endo graphix
It’s to bad that I know who was really the designer for the flyers back at NASA that wasn’t mentioned what so ever at all. MY BROTHER, who at least deserves some credit in this video posted.
Designed by ZETA-G. Just look at the flyers from then. Ask yourself who that is and maybe he will be recognized for all his hard work that wasn’t what so ever mentioned. They couldn’t have done it without Mike. Love your brother.
I believe at 24:50 , that's Pasquale Rotella AKA Owner, CEO, Main Flavor Curator for Insomniac
BONES IS G.O.A.T.!
How can techno arrive in America when techno originated in Detroit the god father is Juan Atkins
Not techno, rave. The vibe, the atmosphere, the lifestyle, not just the music.
@@dumbstupid5065 - Paul is Dumb Stupid. We brought Detroit to the rest of America via Rave.
Totally skipped over the large Midwest rave scene that began in 1987 and chicago music attorney taking the music to England!
Ummm...why no mention of Mars Grafix? There was a point in the 90's and through the 2000's where Mars was doing every flyer, for every party, happening every weekend. Not just in NYC and the tri-state, but the entire Northeast as well. For real, at one time every flyer handed to you at a party had the 'designed by Mars Grafix' on it.
Your absolutely correct...I was curious why there wasn’t a mention of Mars. Huge flyer artist in NYC in the 90s for sure
Frankie bones success and effect the tune that started break beat hardcore in the UK fookin amazing
despite all the what came first with all the chicken and the egg talk with US and UK . The truth is when it comes to musical culture both nations have shapped and deveolped sounds for generations ... yes house started in the US , but the UK gave it a drug , a fashion and a lifestyle . samething with rock and roll .... wish we could do it again . i feel bad for the youngsters
gahhhh, why is graphic design so awesome?!?!
Fun daze... platform shoes and candyflips.
Obligatory "my baby mama's second cousin twice removed designed a flyer, why didn't you mention them" comment.
dope
