    I have an unknown track that I would like ID'd - I stuck a rip up on NIOldskool ages ago but didn't get a name at the time... I have upped it to youtube so would appreciate if anyone knows the name. Its a clear blue 12" with 'Nice + Taste' written on the label? Think its from about 1995 or so. :confused:

    Alot of people just bookmark this thread so in case yas did'nt see this in the dance section.
    We call it Techno ! (documentary)
    This is by far the most fascinating documentary i have ever watched in relation to the dance scene.
    It is based on events from 88-93 in Germany,the most influential country in the techno/trance scene, with input from promoters,djs etc on how the scene started and developed after unification amongst other things. Superb footage and soundtrack.
    It's the one place i had always wanted to go during the early 90's to experience the scene and footage in this proves what i missed out on

    Hi all, long time reader of the thread, first time to post (and register)! I have a couple of Track Id's that I'm after...hopefully somebody can help.

    1: Hypnotic Blue - Blissco - I think this is the artist and track name. If not it's very similar sounding. I haven't had any luck on discogs though (I either have the various artist/name combinations that I've tried wrong or it's not listed)...The track is from the early 90's and is best described as mellow, laid back Techno. I first heard it back in the Temple of Sound days and later when it used to get played by a Dj called Podge (not the Kitchen Dj of the same name) on Club FM circa 1998 / 1999.

    2: I don't know the name of this second track but it was a big Techno tune at Genius (Tuesday nights at the Kitchen), again circa 1998 / 1999. It has the sound of a train at the start, a steam engine? With whistles and horn stabs that drop into the track later. It's a full on peak time Techno workout, typical of the Hi-NRG, beefy Techno sound that was popular in Dublin at the time.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey! J- This aint no hell hole, this is my city, this is where my family is, this is where my friends live, this is where I've grown up, it's like any place you live... you make the most of what you have, you dont run away when things get tough,... recession my Fookin' Hole... the only folk moanin' about 'A' recession are the *greedy* fookers who grabbed more than their fair share during the first wave and now they realise their going to have to ACTUALLY do a bit of graftin' to make ends meet. You didnt even need a leaving cert to figure that out 12months ago (let alone a degree in rocket propulsion...ahem) - My moto always was (and always will be) Believe half of what you see & NOTHING of what you read. - Adverts are Invented to entice you to a product, you need to do your homework b4 you take a jump, if you dont...we'll , we all know the score. ;)

    Anyway... Nice1 for the videos, but I'm gettin' a bit long in the tooth for the day-glow air filled props and big indoor venues,... I still love my tight dark and sticky sweat box's, and if the only bass bin in the shop has a 5" rip in it, it's even sweeter. ;)

    Your right there Caf,if everyone goes round with the attitude 'this hellhole',thats what it will be,thats because nobody has any pride in this country or this town,this recession talk,its aload of sh*te,an invention of the media and the government to stop people borrowing due to the credit crunch in the banks around the world,the only people affected by the ''recession'' are anyone in the building trade and complete greedy misers,who milked hard working people dry during the 'celtic tiger',Ive no sympathy,this 'recession' is working out great for me,got approved for big loan,two years ago during the 'boom',I would have being laughed at if I had applied for one,loadsa mullah for CDjs and new stereo system lol

    Wouldnt be to quick to jump ship yet jonny.....almost anywhere you go you will find that product price, cost of living etc. is dictated by the economics of the day in that country.......if you went to eastern europe now you will find that products, cost of living etc. are not priced in € the same as here but are lower & the average wage is in turn reflected by this......the only benefit migrants have to come to ireland is that the €'s they earn here go further back home.......so to up sticks from ireland to go abroad now when our cost of living is high is only worth your while if you can find a job abroad that would pay you more than a job would here if you could find one.......if you do not intend send money home but make a go of it in that country then as said before market forces are all relative to each other & you may not find it any easier to live in another country at the moment but of course you would have a job at least........

    Final word:

    You truly are a dedicated Raver if you got the bullet before christmas & blew your crimbo pay cheque on a Rave excursion to england with nowt to come back to......hats off to ya man:D

    I would agree with you to an extent caf in that this is where i am from & i have no intention of leaving if i dont have to & will do everything possible to make my living here but a lot of folk will find they have no alternative if it comes to it to seek employment elsewhere if they cant meet there Mortgage payment & support there familys.....i agree with you that this is where we are from & i am proud to be a Dub & from Ireland, but if you cant live you will be a poor homeless hungry Dub from Ireland!

    I think you will find agreement from most on that one caf as why else would you have so much interest still in a Rave like the ASYLUM 15 years on unless it was somthing special that stuck with people......well i agree anyway much more of a close knit feeling of 'all being in this one together' in the small dark hot underground Raves......i was never into the commercialised side of the Raves & still amn't......didnt dig the whole fruit on a plate jazz in the Temple of sound so only frequented it twice & once out of that bunked in.......'Proffessional podium dancers' can fu.ck off too as far as i am concerned that type of sh.it just atracts posers as all the dancers are egotistacal posers themselves........was in the temple theatre a couple of times when it opened first but gave it a wide birth later in its life (Wan.ker bouncers)........went to a gig in the basketball arena in 94 called silk,
    silk.jpg
    This was a fuc.kin excellent gig with a serious sound system & DJ from Glasgow i cant remember the name of but it was class Rave.....than in 95 there was another one held but promoted by coca cola & with the line up you would have expected it to be a class gig but it was very dissapointing i would have to say & cant put my finger on why but it just didnt go off the same as the first one......Timmy from the Soundcrowd told me the same & that there was lots of hassle back stage with the Garda at this one,
    ba95.jpg
    The Garda seemed to be indifferent to anything at the first one but were all on top at the second one.....i can only assume that Coca Cola didnt want there name associated with 'untowards;)'.......
    Same buzz in Homelands is what made it successful as a big event.....it really was a relaxed atmosphere from the Security....when i got to the gates to be searched by the security he was checking under my arms & i said joking with him 'No guns no Knives' to which he replies with a smile on his face in a scottish accent 'Nay drugs either' on nods me on....later on in the day we were in the LUSH tent & kept getting up on the platforms in front of the big speakers & kept being told to get down by the bouncers....anywhere else they would have fuc.ked you out....a while later we were up on them again popped a pill into the gob & the same bouncer seen us & just shook his head a let us Rave away up on the speakers......Happy days:D

    Aghhh, nothing worse than the flu, get out the lemsip and wiskey or go to a rave and sweat it out of you:pac:

    I remember having a bad flu, being stuck in bed for a few days but roll on Saturday night and I had to go to Sides, I couldn't miss it. So I got a few disprin, a lemsip and a hot wiskey into me and I managed to get to the bus. Into Sides shaking and in a cold sweat feeling like shiite, get a Dove into the system and all is good, another great night of madness in Sides

    Guess what, the next day I had no flu at all...who says there is no cure for a cold or flu???There is, a good rave:D

    Think Bono said it best in that all cities have their good and bad and Dublin is no different! To say that the recession is just a creation of media hype is a wee bit wide of the mark. Yes the media are scare mongoring to sell papers but realistically, economics are cyclical and as such recessions are inevitable for corporate culture to keep a check on it's expenses. This one was created by greed in the financial institutions and now is being sustained by their fear and unwillingness to lend to each other and to business. It has been strengthend by succesive weak govenments in this country thinking the gravy train would never end! We live in a rip off culture where english owned companies charge us 50% more than they do our northern cousins across the border for the same products so it's easy to see why people are once again looking for a way out!!

    In terms of the thread we have going here look at the times that existed in Ireland when our beloved clubbing culture exploded. interest rates were 17.5% unemployment stood at 20% 60,000 people a year were emigrating. We were raving :) In 1993 I lost my job, was working in a factory and a few nights a week behind a bar to make ends meet. Funnily enough these were the happiest times of my life while going raving at the weekends. The country was ****ed far more of ****hole than it is now but do any of you who were there remember a better time in your life?

    In short recessions come and go it's part of life, I grew up in the 80's and I can assure it was far worse than now. But Irealnd was then and is now my home my country and I'll stick by it thick and thin! As long as I can get a bit of sunshine every year :cool:

    well i certainly wasn't in any position to grab more than my fair share during the so called Celtic Tiger which im convinced never really existed it was just a phrase coined by someone that caught on, sure times were better but this country was never really fully "booming" now things are desperate!!!!

    I'm getting a bit long in the tooth meself man for the big Raves but this was special, a once off for me, sure there was people in their mid 40's there who hadn't been out in years but couldn't pass up on this.:):)

    In terms of the thread we have going here look at the times that existed in Ireland when our beloved clubbing culture exploded. interest rates were 17.5% unemployment stood at 20% 60,000 people a year were emigrating. We were raving :) In 1993 I lost my job, was working in a factory and a few nights a week behind a bar to make ends meet. Funnily enough these were the happiest times of my life while going raving at the weekends. The country was ****ed far more of ****hole than it is now but do any of you who were there remember a better time in your life?

    In short recessions come and go it's part of life, I grew up in the 80's and I can assure it was far worse than now. But Irealnd was then and is now my home my country and I'll stick by it thick and thin! As long as I can get a bit of sunshine every year :cool:

    good points man yeah the 1980's were worse than now but it's looking quite bleak out there and at my age i cant be dealing with it so hopefully ill get sorted soon or ill have to consider my options, sure in the early 1990's it was bad but i must have went a year without working at all,the only working i wanted was getitng mad out of it at weekend in Sides and the likes, well i had my own "business";);):D as it were which involved meeting a lot of people and going out Raving:D ;);)

    Yep & they are really showing their true colours as of late....all the problems surrounding the banks & its officials is simply being ignored but not because the Government has no balls (altough they havnt any) but because for the last 50 years in this country its the cosy relationship with pals in power that has run this country......all the major money makers had the government in their pocket & vice versa....its not that they are afraid to take action but that it doesnt suit the elite & politicians for this to happen.....an example of this related to the 'Recession' we are now experiencing is obvious when you think about it.......the banks say they are in trouble because of all the money that they have lent out.... but the money hasnt dissapeared it has just made a load big business men very rich & you can be sure thay are all mates of the government & the bank officials that lent them the money so you have to ask yourself the question do you think the government/bank officials really give a sh.it about the state of the country when they obviously willingly created the current economic climate to reap the rewards when the economys of the world were on the up.......Bertie, Harney, Cowen etc. dont give a flying fu.ck about the state of country or you they are the epitamy of free market capatalists.....pi.ss all over you if your at the bottom happily & hope you die soon;)
    Sorry about that a bit off the subject of this thread but i cant stand the scumbags running our country & claiming to be republicans....they really are a disgrace to the liberators of this country & all honest working people of this country:mad:

    When you think back the late 80's/early 1990's when times were also bad, the Underground Rave scene was at it's very peak, with clubs charging rip off entrance fees and drinks prices a rip off we may well see an explosion of underground warehouse partys (not the ones who charge €20 in either)with affordable drinks prices or no alcohol at all;)i think this would be a good thing,ive always prefered warehouse and illegal Raves.:)

    Exactly M8 and who is that will be buying up all this cheap property that the banks are foreclosing on? yep you guessed it the same rich pricks that have been making money of property for the last 15 years will now make even more money on the down turn! but you will notice that they only let it go so far! then things suddenly start to change. Look at the price of oil which has dropped to cheaper than it was four years ago and we are supposed to believe that is not deliberate. Capitalism is far more incedious than imperialism was in that it never lets things get bad enough that people will feel the need to change strongly enough to revolt. They use recessions to cut overheads and maximise profits!

    On the plus side the recession in the 80's brought us ska and reggae in the 90's it brought us rave maybe this will get rid of rnb and we'll get some decent music of the back of it lol:pac:
