I agree... alot of those early tunes were rave'y because they were knockoffs from the industrial that was being produced at that time... KMFDM and Thrill Kill Kult were big with my goth friends. and a couple of them got into the whole rave scene strictly on that alone... I don't know if

I don't know if you guys would be interested in hearing a couple of stories from one of Toronto rave personalities, but I had Don Berns (Dr. Trance) in the studio for an interview. We talked about some of the early raves in toronto (around 1991) and what got us into this whole rave culture.

why do people focus so much on the past? dont get me wrong vergel I respect what your doing with your podcast but its some thing I have noticed with a lot of people who have been around for a while (my self included) there is far to much focus on the past and not enough focus on the

Interesting that Berns said that he didn't like house music because it sounded too much like disco. He came from a rock background so he got into rave music because of it's industrial sounds. I find that quite common and I think it's a divide between house/techno and rave (trance, happy

I've always wondered about that tune (never liked it though) - why the hell would you want to declare/celebrate the death of funk (as that tune is essentially doing)? Funk is where it's at and where it came from and continues to live in the best dance music. Wessel Van Diepen from L.A. Style

Berns said that going from raves to clubs became boring. That because you don't have a decorator on staff (?) and you're not industry, you're independent, you can't decorate the club differently each time? Sorry, that's bulls*t and shows how unimaginative he is. The guys I've been working
