Just because it’s been 20 years since the big 88, here’s 20 Rave Classics I found on Youtube:

I was planning to embed a lot more but the browser just can’t handle the hardcore! Here’s the rest (not all of them are videos mind):

Rhythm Section – Comin On Strong

Creation Party 2007

All worked out pretty well for me. Was dissapointed to be on first, at first but because of bus times etc a good crowd arrived pretty early. I mean good in both senses; friendly, up for it lively crowd. And because I was on first I got a half hour more than any other DJ, which still went by very quickly. Location was great too, I love the woods! And they had some sound system. I’m talking about a seperate tent just for the equipment and a seperate mixing desk with sound engineer kind of sound system. Apparently it was called to a halt at about 4am but I was back in Dublin by then after a generous offer of a lift, cheers Dor! It’s a pity the bizzies came because the place would probably have been properly cleaned up, if they weren’t forced out in a hurry.

Update/Edit: If you can’t see the photo slide show above, you can look at the photos on flickr. Also, turns out the place was left spotless anway. Good stuff!

Mental. I’ve been asked to DJ at the next Creation Party. Though I’ll never part with them, I’ve hardly touched my decks in a year and haven’t been to a club or anything for years. Couldn’t tell you the last time I bought a record. Scared and excited! I mean I’ll probably end up playing records older than someone of the people who’ll be there! The last time I did a creation party was some experience though, best gig I ever played at, easily. I can remember playing some classic anthems and 100s of people going mental as the sun came up over the sea at Donabate Beach. Sweet. Here’s a video from the last Creation party…
