retrorave - Living In the Past by Manix

news that Manix are releasing an album of "new-old" hardcore entitled Living In the Past has got me all confused

as the author of Retromania, I deplore it

as the author of Energy Flash, I adore it

blurb from the website: "A return to the original sound of Hardcore/Jungle Rave from one of the leading artist at Reinforced Records. Produced by Marc Mac of 4hero, this stunning 10 track album is full of the same energy and style that made Manix so crucial to DJs and Ravers of the era.   Packed with all new original fresh tunes but still sounding like a lost recording from 1993, anthemic pianos, big bass lines and breaks." 



sounds sweet 'n' ruff though doesn't it?

(via Blog to the Old Skool)

The Eclipse is a club I should have liked to have witnessed in its heyday

One of a bunch.

club telepathy

innersense at the lazerdrome

rage

(can't find no footage)

 amnesia house

 lancashire warehouse raves

orbital raves

bleep era sheffield leeds etc warehouse parties (can't find any footage of them)

konspiracy, thunderdome, and that scary one in the Hulme Crescents where they knocked the walls out between several flats, the Kitchen

and still more...

BUT

really, i seen enough

more than enough 

if i'd seen anymore, i might not have been in good enough shape to recollect any of it in tranquility
