I’m not a DJ or a producer or a promoter. I’m one of the important people……the RAVER!
I’ve always loved music since I was little…...all kinds……but my real musical journey started when I was 18 at a place called MILWAUKEES….RIP!!! And a lesser known venue called Tudor Oaks.
Rave music was born and so was I!!!!!!
Rave music eventually turned into jungle for me and my journey ventured on to the Island, Ilford…(big shout out to Roast and One Nation)…a venue which def has a big place in my heart. Then came Bagleys, Camden Palace etc until finally I discovered my home…..the End!….and ANDY C! :-)
I never missed a Ram night in the first 5 years and Renegade Hardware became a firm favourite to….Andy, Hype, Swift, Randall, Rider….I love all you guys. Your such a big part of my music history. Then there was the MC’s…GQ, Fats, Rage, Dett, Moose…it was like seeing old friends (ok not so much of the old lol) whenever I went raving.
Another big moment for me was a night at Bagleys. It was a Notting Hill Carnival bank holiday weekend and it was the night I discovered ED RUSH & OPTICAL and became a VIRUS girl (Even got the tatoo to prove it :-) They were a whole new sound to me and it just made me wanna dance. Watermelon, Sick Note, Bacteria, Gas Mask...which I first heard at a New Years Day party at Bar Rhumba….they all just blew me away. I remember going to one of the first Virus launch parties at La Scala. It was amazing!!!! Fabric was probably next on my journey. I remember going to the opening night and nearly not getting in. Thanks to DJ Ron for making that happen and getting us in the back door :-)
I had some truly off the hook nights at Fabric, one of which was the first time I heard Messiah!!!……I nearly stopped breathing!! Also Big Up to BAD COMPANY for all your anthems that no one who was there will ever forget…and big up D BRIDGE for what your doing now. Bellini in particular touched me in so many ways and the new stuff is amazing.
I had to stop raving for a while about 7 years ago to have my gorgeous little boy Josh (who is NOT going to be a DJ, producer or MC…I know what you guys get up to ha ha) and when I came back into the scene I discovered a new sound that touched my soul….LIQUID! And a new venue…..HERBAL. I have had so many amazing nights there to, thanks to the HOSPITAL guys.... Shout out to LOGISTICS, NU:TONE, HIGH CONTRAST (especially for RETURN OF FOREVER), FABIO, LONDON ELECTRICITY,CYANTIFIC etc and especially the boys who are doing it for me right now COMMIX! You guys ROCK!!!
I also need to mention someone else and it’s a name that’s familiar to everyone who know’s!! METALHEADZ!! GOLDIE, to me, has been a more recent discovery in the last 6 years and every time I hear him play he drops tunes that BLOW ME AWAY!!....and reminds me why I still love drum n bass SO much.
I really wanna say thanks to everyone in the dnb scene for making it what it is and making it such a memorable journey for me. I’ve made so many friends along the way…(Sanj and Clare get in touch….and you Miguel…and anyone else I’ve lost touch with). It’s a universal language that truly brings people together.
Big up to all the ‘new’ guys to, OUTRAGE who's tunes are mind blowing and are going from strength to strenth def one to watch :-), AMIT (big up for GATECRASHER!!!!!), AST, GRAVITY, KANO, DYNAMIC, CONFLICT…… all of you who are just going to keep on taking it forward and a BIG thanks to all the original GODFATHERS who have taught us so much and made us feel alive through their music....LONG LIVE DNB :-)
