Prepare for blissed-out scallies of the type you'd usually avoid but turn out to be okay... at least when they're pilled-up. :D
Yeah, the first 'rave' (in a club) that I went to, was a hardcore event. I got there, and there was shifty looking scallies everywhere. To be fair, if I'd not been there with a decent group of mates, I would have bottled it. Needless to say, a few hours later, I was dancing away with these scallies, and having the fucking time of my life. I even went dressed in my usual 'mosher' attire, and no one gave a fuck. Really felt the love. That's what I'm hoping the Bowler's reunion will be like. There's plenty of decent pills and MDMA about now, so it should be good.
Matt: It's mainly happy hardcore, then D&B, hard house, and something else. There's a website:

People used to go to this when I was in school, and I'd not got into dance music by then (except Prodigy and early '90s stuff) , because I'd never taken an E.
It's got like a 4000 capacity, it's a huge warehouse, and I imagine it's going to be fantastic. Hopefully full of the old-skool crowd that used to go, who know what a rave is. There's a Facebook group, if you want to get an idea of the sort of crowd that's going. You tell that video's a new one, just by the way the people are. There's loads of old-skool videos on youboob.
I spent a few hours reading Fantazia's rave time line today, which was really interesting. Talking about where it all started, and the constant battles with police, but it ended at 1993, so I couldn't read on. I need to get out to a decent rave!
