Ha I was in the loft and I found the tapes from Slammin' Vinyl I went to at Bagley's in London :lol:

I'm pretty sure the Video from Dreamscape 25 with me and the Glow Sticks is long gone though, that's probably for the best too :whistle:

At the moment I'm in the process of recording all my old Helter Skelter/Dreamscae/Hysteria/United Dance etc. tapes in to MP3 format, I've got most of them done now.

Once I've done them, I'm looking at doing my videos.

If you want your old rave tapes/videos converting into the relevant audio/video format, let me though, I'll do it for you, but it's best not to ask me to do it now as I'm surrounded by rave tape packs at the moment.
 
Was more into the Hip-Hop/House/Acid House scene of the late eighties which then progressed to Rave - didn't like any of the Hardcore Euro Techno - done my head in!.

Some classic tunes came out of the Rave scene, Ragga Twins - Wipe The Needle, Shut Up N Dance - Lambourghini, Johnny L - Hurt you so, Liquid - Sweet Harmony....the list could go on
 
Old school synthesizer based music, like Kraftwerk, was what most computer people in Sweden liked back in the day. This was long before rave of course. Metal was our biggest enemy. B-)

Well, the handle says it all really!

I only stopped going to Rave's/Clubs about 4-5 years ago.
And yes, it was the Amiga's fault I got into it all in the first place! I mostly blame Spaceballs, Anarchy, Sanity, Scoopex of the demo scene.
Nothing better than getting the latest demos from your favourite PD supplier back in the day and just playing them REALLY loud! ;)
I'm mostly into ambient these days, FSOL, Ochre, Orb etc etc, but I do still enjoy a good bout of Psychedelic Trance once in a while too.
Things like Scorb, DNA, Delysid, Ocelot, That kind of thing.
I used to go to the Full Moon Festival in Germany once year before it became Freqs of Nature, and look forward to doing it again when i have the time and money!

This was one of my favourites from back in the day:

Nice one, well ... I am still raving as a photographer in psychedelic/goa events. From Portugal but been living in Greece, Netherlands, Japan and now Berlin ... I lived and live the psy-scene.
What brings me here is precisely I want to bring the machine to visuals in the goa scene here in Berlin. Revinving my A1200 stock, an A600 (2Mb) and some genlock plus whatever I can gra my hands on since now :)
 
Yeah the psy scene is still where it's at, I think the fact it never went fully mainstream, except maybe in Israel is perhaps why it's still so good. I still dig out my old Raja Ram vinyl and a few choice goa tracks every once in a while, and have the upmost respect for the sheer technical mastery of some of the artists, it's not as easy to make as people seem to think, you really have to know your soft/hardware Inside out to get the best out of it! I still regret selling my raveoloution 309 to this day!

140+ BPM banging mods on Amiga were never my thing.
I was on Future Shock 3 and that was pretty much my gateway into electronic music (not counting Kraftwerk which I liked in the 80s). Since then I've been mostly listening to house (deep tech house is my fav), some techno/minimal, some trance, a little bit of dnb/jungle and for the last couple of years I'm on progressive psytrance/goa (but don't like the hardcore aka full-on). 130-135 BPM is my sweet spot nowadays.
