Come and help Raindance celebrate its 20th Birthday in true old skool style
Some of you have asked me to send you what is actually written on the preflyer behind the smiley face, well here is what is written:
We wrote our names into history on that fateful evening back in September 1989. Our party at Jenkins Lane in east London was the first of its kind, the very first licensed rave to be held in the UK. We are number one, the first, the originators, the party starters and we’ve been doing it, bigger, better, harder and faster over and over for the last nineteen and a half years. Well now it’s the big one. The Twentieth Birthday Party. Two decades of debauched hedonistic festivals of rave all rolled in to one crazy marathon party and you’re invited. Raindance is seven raves in one, uniting all the various strands of our fractured club and rave scenes. Creating a unique party atmosphere where everyone is made welcome. The vibes will be electric. You, the Raindance ravers are widely regarded as the best on the planet, the most up for it, the most hardcore, the most diverse. Young and old, black and white, rudeboys and cyberpunks, 89 originals and 09 rave virgins – you are all Raindance and we salute you! Raindance is not just about headline acts, we don’t pay attention to who Mixmag’s flavour of the month is or who all the agents are trying to push. we wouldn’t watch top of the pops even if it was still on the telly. Raindance is about real rave music played by real rave DJ’s who are still in love with the scene. Some will be household names, Slipmatt, Billy Daniel Bunter, Kenny Ken, The Ratpack, Robbie Dee, Dj Ratty, Devious D,TC, Hixxy, Joey Riot, DJ Vibes, Carl Cox, Grooverider, Fabio, Mathew B (or Bushwaka),Trevor Fung, Colin Dale, DJ JD (calling himself John Digweed these days), SL2, Moby, The Prodigy (apparently they’ve done alright for themselves), Shades of Rhythm and N-Joi (neither having done quite so well we’ve heard - lol), and others will be less known to those outside of Raindance. But remember our old saying, superstar wall to wall superstar DJ and MC lines-ups, do not a great party necessarily make, and Raindance is the party for those that know, so come and discover tomorrows dj’s and acts today. This will be the party that officially marks 20 years of rave and dance music in the UK. Forget anything else that is claiming to do the same, they can try, but we started it and so our twentieth birthday party is also the scenes twentieth birthday party. The tunnel will be shut creating an amazing outdoor area (license permitting – remember the eighteenth birthday!), there will be all sorts of surprises in store for the lucky thousands that manage to make it into the event. This will sell out. do not miss out. This party is a one off. A chance to celebrate twenty years of the greatest cultural explosion of our generation(s).
