20 years ago Acid House was born and a whole generation got right on one. British culture was changed forever, as we all danced to a new beat. Let there be House, and House music was born. Coming from Chicago to the clubs, warehouses and fields of England. The movement was so powerful that it inspired the whole country to start raving. House music spread and mutated, and a whole host of other genres were spawned from this, our House. 20 years later and House is bigger and broader than ever, yet to many it remains a feeling deep within your soul, a feeling that will never ever die.

To all those who danced in the fields, who felt that joy. A feeling that the world was changing and that we were making it happen, that was a very special time. Nothing before or since can ever or will ever make you feel that way again. So let us celebrate and rejoice that we could be a part of it. Let us go Trippin back.

On Sunday May 4th at The Royal Hotel we will hear the original sound of House. We will recapture that feeling one more time. Led by the original Acid House legend Trevor Fung, a face who showed everybody the way. We have selected DJ's who were part of the scene and playing out at raves, clubs and parties at the time. DJs who selected the soundtrack of our lives.

Funny Skin - I still see their little flower logo sticker from time to time on cars/vans, what a night.
Bring on the original Ibiza vibe of Trevor Fung-can't wait.

Would love to see them old faces!! Been a while..;0)

Rumor has it that the legendary Ed friendly will be putting in an appearance.

Spot on - anyone remember Planet FM ? Who were the DJ's ?

planet fm dj's: John Smith, Tony Levene, Steve Zorro, Mark Summers, taggy & Matty H, not sure if mark gore ever played, henry "the spinback" Hyde, Tony aj, Cliff mac, cant remember who else but sure there was a few others that will come back to me

...and not forgetting Reality FM, DJ Recka was foookin awesome, mixin and tune selection was flawless...then there was Elite Fm too which was bang on Acid Mooozik - remember necking a handful of Panorama's, freaking out and cuddling a carton of orange juice under the false pretention of it bringing you down (who the fuck started that one off)...I then see Terry Waite later carrying loads of balloons....

Best I leave it there

Ha ha Scott I just sprayed tea all over my keyboard when I read that.

Steve Zorro cheers for the info on Planet FM, settled a bet there and thanks for entertaining us back then ! Still have a tape somewhere. Tony Leviene played at REDS amongst others if I recall. As for the OJ yeah who said that worked - ninjas amongst the plants for me ! Them were the days.
