DANCE ENERGY 1989. SEPT. 23, 1989. 9 A.M. Ipswich, U.K. Abandoned Aircraft Hangar. 17,000 people. Road blocks were in place early on and everyone spent most of their Saturday Night stuck in traffic in the surrounding villages off the A12. Police were not letting anyone near the field. Around 6 a.m. the police had decided to pull back and let the event go off as planned. The music did not start playing until 7 a.m. and this footage here is between 8 a.m. & 9 a.m. with me filling in for Little Louie Vega who was billed but had to cancel because his management forbid their talent to spin at illegal events.
That's amazing, Frankie. I didn't get to experience such a rave, but at least I feel lucky to see some footage from back then. It's like learning about classical music in high school, should be included in every educational program. History you must know, lol.
All that scratching is making me itch Frankie Shag Bones!!!!!! (nice jacket hahahah but the tunes are maximum!).... In some ways it a shame that the rave didn't start till 7am (pills were mega expensive back then!) but then again we would not have such amazing footage! So clearly visible are everyone plus the sound I could not believe my eyes at first!... I wasn't at this one as my weekend job didn't leave me with much cash as most of it was spent on records (Passion records downstairs from Mash clothing Oxford Street) but so wish I had been there!.... Anyway I was probably nearer to home raving at Pleasure Dome, Slough Centre! Ohhhhh themmmmm dazzzze! Happy happy happp e ;)
@@camyd1043 Your clueless sunshine if you wasnt in the moment youl never know what it was ... shame but you probably missed it or a spec on the landscape
My dad was there! Spent the previous night driving around trying to find it, and it was daylight when him and his mates finally arrived. Still a brilliant Sunday by all accounts. He's in that bleedin' crowd somewhere!
House tracks were the order of the day, before you knew it UK bedroom producers were uping the tempo and early hardcore was born, I was fortunate to have been there, tunes like true faith..take me away...shades of rhythm..sweet sensation..too many to name...see prodigy from day 1...my mate made tunes, had a top tune..we played out everywhere. And yes the jack n jills were different gravy. From 89-98 we had it. Wouldn't of missed it for the world. Most importantly we had unity and for a few years we had a bit of magic. Everyone on a level. Never any aggro. Be a long time before this vibe comes round again. God bless the 90's and all who partyed through her!
What's ya name ? Where ya from ? From Liverpool here and partied from mid 89 to late 91 and it all got a bit moodie and the music went shit. Use to go to raves around Blackburn and it was funny seeing us hug and share a spliff with Manc lads we knew from the match. We'd see them when we either played at Anfield or in Manc and give eachother the nod or a wink and say see youse at the next one mate . Boss times ❤❤
My parents told me to watch this, because we were dicussing about parties now, and before, in their younger years. Parties now are full of aggresive people.. people telling you what you need to wear to be in the trend, and obviously a lot of mainstream music. And they told me that when they partied in the late 80s, and part of the early 90s, the ambient was so peaceful, no fights, no phones, no glamorous outfits, just a pair of dirty sneakers, hoodies and jeans, nothing more, really simple, because it didn't matter the way you dressed or the way you were, the people were there to have a good time. Now, seeing this, i wish i was worn in those times.. life seemed so much simple than now. They were totally right about this.
i lived thru these daze...happiest times of my life ….so far...but you know something? the psychedelic dream aint over sister,and a door can always be opened...love and peace...
the hippy traveller/raver crossover...a sight to behold,,,,,,after lechlade ,castlemorton common....and there were no crackhead wannabe gangsta element,no I phones or dress code.....true there were a handful of idiots,brew crew etc...but it was ruff edge,urban ragamuffin vibe in the countryside.....
Hey friend there are still parties to go to that'll be a treat, you just need to find them thats all. But like always commercialisation has destroyed a lot good things for sure
Not just club but DJ and rave culture in general to back in touch with their underground turntablist roots from 1970's - mid 2000's. When it was creative, meaningful, tribal, rhythmic, futuristic and a fusion of digital and instrumental sound and melody.
I didn't start raving until the summer of '92 when I was 14 about to turn 15 after having started listening to these tunes when I was 10 on pirate stations! As rave music progressed I got fully into the breakbeat side of tings (from hardcore to jungle to DnB now) but man, I would love a time machine to go to these '88 / '89 raves!
Take me back!!! Its hard to put into words for the youngger generation just how good these days were… Black/White/Gay/Straight/POsh/Skint, etc, etc everyone united simply to dance and be as one…. Best years of my life without a shadow of a doubt. Feel so bad for todays kids that they cant experience it as we did… One love!!!
Didn't really get involved when this was kicking off, as I was 5. Would love to have been old enough to appreciate this and the 80's in general! Notice how everyone is not clad in labels with massive logos and aren't looking posey. Wish it was like that these days. Less fucks given all round makes for a better atmosphere!
Hit the nail on the head there mate. Now you got too many posers, shirtless gym freaks phsyching each other out and everyone filming every bloody thing on there mobiles worried how they look for Instagram instead of actually living it up enjoying the moment.

For anyone wondering... some of us old 50 somethings still go clubbing & raving to the music we used to love back then, especially thanks to Centreforce Radio 883 DAB for putting many events on 😃
Whats the point in going raving in your 50? you cant really take E and without that its pointless. Plus all the illegal raves died in the early 90s. Clubs are not the same. The illegal raves and the high from the chemicals is what made it fun.
Liking how people didn't feel that they immediately had to flash their pearly whites when the camera was on them. Only if they genuinely felt like smiling. Laid back and natural.
1989 still in Primary school ,some of them ravers Must be touched 60 now , I find it so interesting to wacth, I’m 93 jungle raver even back then still a yute 15 in the rave ,i am now Considered old school but still putting some sick tunes out for yutes them, I’m glad to be a part of this music wat brought all nations together
I know what you mean.....I was listening to House, Acid and Hip Hop as a primary school kid in '88 / '89 then got hooked on the breaks and started raving in summer '92 as an underage yout! After that it was, and remains, Jungle and DnB for me. I like all genres, but Jungle is the ONE!!
My dad at 2.14 in the orange with the black cap. Always brings it up and with my friends. He loved illegal warehouse races in the late 80s early 90s nothing like them today. Often no one knew where the location of these were as they would get shutdown by police if found. Him and his mates bought a ticket and set off trying to find where it would be.
Mental rave I was 21yrs old and I'm now working in the Home office as a senior adviser at Whitehall. .. if only I could give the government a couple of micro dots
I was there.... Its Raydon Aerodrome, and not abandoned ! The farmer who owns it was not a happy boy. Fire in the field...cars abandoned every where..... Police every where..... Went on all the next day..... They were the days ! I live there and still get to go in this hanger. Strange feeling, but i smile knowing what went on.
Beatiful days, I remember going for dancing almost every week end, everything was around music and house Beat, I've been reading some comments and thats so true didn't exist cell phones neather social media so we where focus ourselves on music and dance greetings from México.
just to say i was there too.energy..started at around 7 am after alot of location changes that was aired on london pirate radio(centre force).wow.brilliant footage
The days when if you saw someone in the street who was on the same tip as you , you nodded ... check my dancing out . I will cherish these memories until I am no more . thank you early rave days . i remember this morning as loads of cars including ours drove across farmland making look like a scene from mad max. the foundations of where we are right now .
Yes DJ Spinback @ 10:45. Captured!! Forever young!! We travel here, we travel there, we travel almost anywhere, to reach an acid rave it is a must. So when the weekend come and you wanna have fun but you got the wrong direction. Don’t despair, don’t pull out your hair, just jump in the car and you’ll find one!! One love!!
Everyone here would be over 50 now. Wonder how many are still alive, what jobs they have and what they have achieved in their lives in the last 31 years AND what music they listen to now?
I wasn't there but I'm 50 and have worn out plenty of party shoes lol..fave music is breakbeats.. and dub ..grimy glitchy dubstep. And stuff! How bout u
Absolute brilliant footage from back in the day everyone just enjoying themselves and not giving a shit about the way people were dressed or any shallow shit like that we were all as one back then.....peace and unity raining down on everyone
The cars were gridlocked in the country lanes trying to get there, i opened a gate to a field and started driving across it directly to the aircraft hanger. I look behind and now all these cars are following me, people were trying to jump ditches in there motors, getting stuck stuck everywhere it was bedlum. Nobody cared because most were off their nuts and just left there car in a field somewhere. I had a bright orange beetle so was able to find it later on. Those were the days, what a rave that was!
Back when all you needed was 2 - 1200's, a great mixer and decent amp, and milk crates full of records... ppl now a days have it easy.. I'll never forget these days
Yeah I remember first learning of northern soul from old northern soul fans who got into the eave scene and looking back the similarities between the two scenes are obvious...😊
I cannot believe the song at 10:40 is from 89 that is def a Mandella thing in my mind .I was in my car the other day Bluetoothing that song pounding( I remember when you were sayn that ya loved me in every way ) WOW how cool is that i thought that song came out 10 yrs later .Cannot believe that song is 30yrs old .
This is so natural, before civilisation we did this together, as tribes, way before we became 'civilised'. All we did back in the 90s was tap back into this tibial instinct. Best days ever. I might be over 40 years now but boy am I glad I experienced those days.
the guy in the first 3 seconds is literally poppin acid. He just ripped a tab off his sheet and ate it, the guy beside him goes to grab it from his hands, he pulls away, and buddies like k fine get out of here and pushes him. LMAO
Just type shuffle dance in the search. I can see you saying height of self obession if you are an outsider looking in but really it was just a community gathering. Back then it was really about the music and just loosing yourself dancing. Not everyone did drugs and drank. It was kinda like a Greatful Dead show environment. Very hippie like. The big massives of today like EDC, yes self obession. I have gone to shows of all types of music for 20+ yrs and i can honestly say nothing beats the old rave events. Very nice people that just hug you to death. Go to hip hop show or metal show and all I ever saw was very drunk people getting in fights. But ya tomatoe/tomato.
Max Fleisch LOL. hardcore shuffle I can respect. i'm a dnb fan and it has a shuffle that make sense too. friggen millennials shuffle/making shapes to everything now is what I hate.
This is nothing short of actual proof that we have De evolved in the last 30 years... We are aggressive animals that can't socialise, we have to be the centre of attention akin to a primate beating its chest, we spend our time on screens watching things when at events like this instead of being in the moment, there's more racial barriers today, music events actually separate people with strict genres rather than unifying us, we rely on technology to make up for shortfalls in skill and pushing boundaries with experimental break through, now a days any fool with a laptop and a sync button is a dj...... What happend people
Ohh the joys of getting the night buses home in London at 3/4am and everybody being 'loved-up'... Was brilliant!! Could talk to anybody and relax, laugh and have no fear.... Then the stabbings started, now the gangs, the anger, the paranoid looks. I miss the 80s and 90s, the last free decades of no rules and good vibes....
wow, the rave culture in Melbourne took 3 or more years to take hold; the geographical distance means these things take longer to disseminate. Amazing that this is 30 years ago and it happened organically, quite incredible.

Amazing!

Check out the amazing video footage called =
“Berkshire Goes Balearic”
By Agostinho Zinga
You Won’t Be Disappointed !
ENJOY 😊
Check out video back to the future sunrise which starts off from buying the tickets stopped by the police to carry on partying
Honestly, piece of history. and to keep it from being damaged, lost etc
Not one person on a cell phone and everyone is enjoying the moment. The 80s and 90s are the last great decades.
That’s my assessment ever since. Decades of fashion and music are long gone. Sad.
grazie al cazzo
could you imagine how many you would of lost ..
lol mate these parties still exist, you're just going to the wrong ones
@@camyd1043 Your clueless sunshine if you wasnt in the moment youl never know what it was ... shame but you probably missed it or a spec on the landscape
when it was all about the music and not the DJs. notice the DJ area is not crowd facing
exactly, everyone danced in all different directions and socialised....
still had sleazy guys standing around watching girls dance
I think of facing the dj in the club is partly about respect for the dj. But even then it should be okay to stand with your back to the dj.
Graham Meeson i
now djs always interrupt the music and yell over it
My dad was there! Spent the previous night driving around trying to find it, and it was daylight when him and his mates finally arrived. Still a brilliant Sunday by all accounts. He's in that bleedin' crowd somewhere!
Incredible footage
Yeah it's quite ery.. Seems to capture the haze.
Low levels of violence, if any. People happy and respecting each other. A sense of unity. No wonder the government cracked down on this kind of thing.
Captain Midnight it had all got mainstream by then. 1989 was still pure. The best time!

Swift Cee Amen to that my brother - best years of my life ✌🏻
Swift Cee - goose bumps reading this. Miss those days.
I'm still listening to hardcore now...
I could of watched hours of that rave. I was 16 in 1989 and the air was thick with love! Wonderful years.
No attitudes just good vibes and everyone united. Was good to there back then 👍😁 sorted
Absolutely bang on Brother!! Went to my first rave in 89!
Just wish I had a time machine to go back😵💫😬🤯
The best rave I have ever went to . I can't put it into words how good it was .
where was it?
It was crap. A bunch of people standing in a hangar. You were just out of your face and it seemed good.

Notice at 11:18, that "we are all buddies today" kinda vibe.. Priceless
Yeah,I noticed that too. Great times. So glad I lived through it.
Or maybe theyre actually friends... dafuq

When we were about love and lovin' the music. We desperately need a Rennaissance of club culture.

All arranged word of mouth without mobile phone. Amazing.
It was really amazing anyone would be willing to take so much equipment to an illegal rave.
The sound system was epic 🙂🙏🏽👏🏿
No fucking mobile phones. Only pure ecstasy and living for the moment.

The crowd energy amazes me
best year's of my life, loved it😀
Ahhhh still remember those years never to be forgotten look how happy we all were no trouble at all magic times ❤
Amazing footage cheers bruv ..
Absolute brilliant footage from back in the day everyone just enjoying themselves and not giving a shit about the way people were dressed or any shallow shit like that we were all as one back then.....peace and unity raining down on everyone
Would love to go back in time to then . Honestly can't remember worrying about things like it is today. The World is beginning to stop spinning.
The cars were gridlocked in the country lanes trying to get there, i opened a gate to a field and started driving across it directly to the aircraft hanger.
I look behind and now all these cars are following me, people were trying to jump ditches in there motors, getting stuck stuck everywhere it was bedlum.
Nobody cared because most were off their nuts and just left there car in a field somewhere.
I had a bright orange beetle so was able to find it later on.
Those were the days, what a rave that was!
Lol that's nuts!
THIS was the PEAK of LIFE !
The tall skinny bloke in the hat dancing behind the decks is Mickey Finn
What I find hilarious is how we all used to MC in American accents until about '92 lol
The guy on the turntables who is talking to the crowd is actually an American he is Dj frankie bones from new york
@@cacarpi ah not really on about this video, just in general.. there's a really good example from Shelly's on CZcams.
I'm going raving tomorrow down in Manchester. Cannae wait!
whoever makes a tracklist will be a hero
I still think my brain has never recovered from those callies😂😂😂😂
13:50 techno viking in his younger days
TheDJPCol When he was Wotan.
He's a proper roo.
Back when all you needed was 2 - 1200's, a great mixer and decent amp, and milk crates full of records... ppl now a days have it easy.. I'll never forget these days
VHS quality is sublime! Good party too!
it's 16mm film, not VHS lol VHS can't look that good
This really is a continuation from Northern Soul
ciaran1988 Zit Fuk
Yeah I remember first learning of northern soul from old northern soul fans who got into the eave scene and looking back the similarities between the two scenes are obvious...😊
Don't say that to a Northern Souler- shit'm right off cvnt! But yeah, your right.
northern soul had way better dancers. :)
I only recently discovered northern soul...love it!!! I'm Canadian, so it's just something I wasn't exposed to.. poor me!
13:00 It's great to see Jason Donovan enjoying himself.
I cannot believe the song at 10:40 is from 89 that is def a Mandella thing in my mind .I was in my car the other day Bluetoothing that song pounding( I remember when you were sayn that ya loved me in every way ) WOW how cool is that i thought that song came out 10 yrs later .Cannot believe that song is 30yrs old .
What is the track can you remember?
need to know this track!🙏
You Used to Hold Me - Ralphi Rosario
This is so natural, before civilisation we did this together, as tribes, way before we became 'civilised'. All we did back in the 90s was tap back into this tibial instinct.
Best days ever. I might be over 40 years now but boy am I glad I experienced those days.
the guy in the first 3 seconds is literally poppin acid. He just ripped a tab off his sheet and ate it, the guy beside him goes to grab it from his hands, he pulls away, and buddies like k fine get out of here and pushes him. LMAO
raves before the damn shuffle dance.
I dunno wtf this shuffle dance stuff is but to me it looks like the height of self obsession
Just type shuffle dance in the search. I can see you saying height of self obession if you are an outsider looking in but really it was just a community gathering. Back then it was really about the music and just loosing yourself dancing. Not everyone did drugs and drank. It was kinda like a Greatful Dead show environment. Very hippie like. The big massives of today like EDC, yes self obession. I have gone to shows of all types of music for 20+ yrs and i can honestly say nothing beats the old rave events. Very nice people that just hug you to death. Go to hip hop show or metal show and all I ever saw was very drunk people getting in fights. But ya tomatoe/tomato.
Robert Purvis protect hardstyle shuffle and hardcore/gabber/terror hakkuh fuck soft dance music
Max Fleisch LOL. hardcore shuffle I can respect. i'm a dnb fan and it has a shuffle that make sense too. friggen millennials shuffle/making shapes to everything now is what I hate.
Robert Purvis cutting shapes existed in the eighties in black house raves
great footage
I was 19 in 89 . I discovered Acid house parties in 88 . Clink street, Dungeons
This is nothing short of actual proof that we have De evolved in the last 30 years... We are aggressive animals that can't socialise, we have to be the centre of attention akin to a primate beating its chest, we spend our time on screens watching things when at events like this instead of being in the moment, there's more racial barriers today, music events actually separate people with strict genres rather than unifying us, we rely on technology to make up for shortfalls in skill and pushing boundaries with experimental break through, now a days any fool with a laptop and a sync button is a dj...... What happend people
Politics. Culture.
*No cell phones btw, Only Acid*
Ohh the joys of getting the night buses home in London at 3/4am and everybody being 'loved-up'... Was brilliant!! Could talk to anybody and relax, laugh and have no fear.... Then the stabbings started, now the gangs, the anger, the paranoid looks. I miss the 80s and 90s, the last free decades of no rules and good vibes....
Looks like Energy Rave - Dance 89. Ended up being near Ipswich somewhere if I remember rightly. Mad night!
Yep
Raydon Suffolk border what a night / day :-)
Near Hadleigh
WTF really well organized rave!
Energy were the best in the business
Why could i not pee, when i dropped a E. Best era ever for music in my humble opinion.
Yeah had same prob aswell dude .... 😂
Loved that, thanks.
Oh my god, those were the days!!!
and all we wanted to do is dance
13:44 onwards... lol :) I think we've all been there at some point or another. He's like 'Huh.. wha's going on, where am I'?
Im sure at 2.50 theres 2 grannies at the bottom of the screen avin a good old dance!!! Wish i could experience this! Looks amazing 💖
wow, the rave culture in Melbourne took 3 or more years to take hold; the geographical distance means these things take longer to disseminate. Amazing that this is 30 years ago and it happened organically, quite incredible.
Track at 11:20 has that same blip blop sound as Project 86 - Total Recall.
It was a live PA by an artist called The Nemesis Project. He came on right after Frankie Bones.
Tune was never released on vinyl
@@norepetitivebeats My heart is broken reading this
We need this type of experience in this era that were living in, Dangerous times were in.
1989 I was 10 and me n my brother used to go to an under 12's disco night at "Leyland Tiger"
Black box played every time by the DJ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
understanding the fact that this kind of parties not happening anymore and never gonna happen kinda just breaks my heart
Come to Uruguay and you will see this kind of partys
go to the Balkan countries
