I know what you mean bro, the commercial dance clubs are full of wankers. Brighton used to be sweet, but the clubs are up their own asses now. We just used to walk in in jeans and trainers and have a feed. Nowadays you either get a twat bouncer or some poof dressed as a woman on the door telling you that you can't come in as there are allready too many blokes in there, you can't come in because you're not dressed smart/funky/cool enough, you can't come in because you're in a group of 2 or more blokes etc etc. When you do get in the place is full of beer drinking goons on the pull and silly little girls in their high heels just standing around so they can tell their friends at college the next day that they went clubbing. I always used to go for a girl in a pair of trainers and combats as you knew she was there to boogie (and usually into something a little less legal than alcohol). My advice, Drum and Bass nights mate. The friendliest electronic music nights around, which I find ironic as D & B is such an aggressive style of music. Likewise, uber-gay housey housey crap attracts all the beered-up pricks after a kebab, fight and (hopefully) shag. I tend to avoid those places.
I know most rocker places are friendly, I just really can't stand 99% of rock/metal etc. It's just a bleedin' row to me mate! Do like Rage Against The Machine though.

I just like to hear well craft songs, whatever the type of music. My roots are in Raving but apart from The Prodigy who has released an outstanding Dance album this century? The popular usual suspects (Orbital, Leftfield, fat boy, underworld etc) have either fucked off or released substandard albums.

I agree with Wayne about D n B being the most friendly scene within dance music but it's not for me as after 20mins of D n b everything sounds the same to me and I end up craving a rock tune.

I like my rock music but metal is just shit, a lot of metal bands guitarists are technically very good but it's just a form of wanking for many of them.

I think both - best statment will be probably... rocker'n'raver

haha Wayne - at school it was the same, however I somehow managed other people to also like the rave genre and end up buying vinyl with me.

We had music class once a week and you were allowed to bring in one 'song' if you wanted to, so I ended up bring tunes in by people no-one else ever heard of (Acen / Prodigy obviously / Ellis Dee etc etc etc) - I have kept all my schoolbooks, and in my music book the teacher has comments saying "brought in some very interesting music, a good ear for music!" or something like that.

Raver.

nothing but raver

nice one

i remember when i got phoned by the recordshop during school that Jilted has arrived, i went to the shop during the break before my music class. we were also allowed to play our music during the class and i played Their Law. my classmates liked it, but our teacher seemed a bit annoyed by the pounding beats and quitar riffs she was a ignorant douchebag anyway

bah, dont think the Prodigy would enjoy a british rave scene rave nowerdays if they went to one,
Im talking the raves which include the back in the day Slipmatt and Ratpack, i stopped going raving a while back where the same DJs played the same set of records with PAs such as Altern 8 or Shades of Rhythm playing one or two of their most famous tracks.
I followed Baby D for a while, went all the way to the Sanctuary in London to see her Soaked. If these guys produced more tracks that we can here that are fresh and moddern rather than remixing old tracks which makes them stale.
Thats why i think its a good idea that the Prodigy had Kicks like a mule" with them in April and had them remix one of their tracks, im sick to death of another remix of an old rave track...
Thats also why i think Pendulum have done so well as they do more than just the same old same old Drum and Bass set at a rave. They are branching out..
Im not dissing the rave scene, Mc Storm, SY and other DJs are still doing a good job of keeping it fresh for the scene but im sure its nothing like what it was like it the day..

Maybe the fact that pills are shit nowadays has something to do with it too

I listen Rock with my girlfriend,but I'm fuckin' happy Raver = The Prodigy Dancer

you should come to dublin if you think your clubs are shit over there. Us Irish (in general) have orrific taste in music so its not unheard of for a 'DJ' to unleash Brian Adams during a club night. In addition, most of our women think they're black -they are in fact unnatuarally pale - so almost all our clubs are swallowed up with piss poor R&B in bid to keep the ladies happy. I will move at the earliest opportunity

It's a little like this...

Started to play around with mixers at an early age in 1989, a set of decks and some 70's/80's disco vinyl (from my mother's somewhat popular taste!), or what was the movement of Electro-pop at least, and some harder stuff in the rave genre that was spreading about. This unfolded further and nicely introduced me to music from DJ's like SY and even DOOGLE . My continued fanaticism about this rave genre would later lead me to get hold of a cassette recording of The Prodigy and it literally snowballed from there. It's electro-pop to rave to The Prodigy in that order. Th usual suspects that have a warm, fond and cherished place in my collection are Leftfield, Chems, Orbital, Orb, Fatboy, Underworld et al.

A raver at heart.

i was a raver until fear factory's Fear Is The Mindkiller EP

then it all got a bit fuzzy

Has to be rocker!

Ha, you know it. The meat-markets here are full of wiggas trying to dance like J Lo while being 10st too heavy, wearing a dress 6 sizes too small and heels 4" too high. It's funny watching them fall over after one to many Bacardi breezers though! And why do they wear a dress or skirt so short, only to spend the whole night pulling it down every 30 seconds?
