To me, I just feel that Rave was formed after the raids when promoters went underground, regardless of whether people were saying "let's rave" before that, simply because I don't feel that Rave had a distinct CULTURAL until that point. It's just the overall feeling I get from reading about/learning about the 88 acid house scene, and how "concert-y" it was, as oppossed to warehouse raves which had this mystical culture around them. >> 1987 was We Are IE, which is generally considered to be the first Hardcore >> tune. > >i find that date hard to believe....i remember the tune >coming out and being hammered on the sheffield (uk) pirate stations at the >time....i was in sheff from 89-> > >you could be right tho I could be wrong, but I am an old skool hardcore DJ, and that is what I've been told by a number of people in the old skool uk scene. >> >SUAD started in 1989 (i have a few of their releases, froma round the >> >time) and i'm failry sure "we are ie" came out in 89 too (what a tune btw) >> >> I have SUAD1 and its 87 or 88.
