Mark Skelton (no relation to Les...so they claim haha!) a more technical DJ. I'm officially on a bittersweet Niche Nostalgia-fest...And it's led me to this gem of a tune I've been searching for at about 48:00 I only heard it 3 times in my life 1996-2000, whenever I asked it was "IGA feeling" or more informatively "White label" by "Unknown". I apologize for the sound quality in the others, this ain't bad & the Danny Walker mix sounds great .
Classic anthem by Bruno Sanchioni, ⅓ of B.B.E ("7 Days and 1 Week"... which you can very easily tell if you play the 2 back2back)& Giuseppe Chierchia, a guy better known for that much sampled disco tune (the one in "Getting Jiggy With it" and "Don't call me Baby"... Ring a bell? Don't ask how I know that ... just... don't ok? ???).
Classed as *"the first trance tune ever made",* which it pretty much is, from way back in 1990. It sounded great then; great in 1992 when Jam & Spoon 's "Watch out for Stella" remix updated for the millions of new ravers (which I included because many ravers aren't aware that's not the original version), it's been great all the times it's been remixed, whether the old skool or the new versions (the only thing out of sync is the description of THIS Particular "age".
More "the age that needs love".

OMG! This is what I was looking for! Fantazia in the beginning was at the forefront of the Rave Scene, and thankfully made a bunch of mix tapes/CDs and videos capturing the essence of the crowds, the tunes and the rush perfectly (on VHS featuring footage, + On the spot interviews of luvdup gurning ravers sayin how amazing the rave is...LOL AGREED! ?). I doubt they have found a single raver saying otherwise ?).
"The First Taste" is a great mix of exclusive Fantazia Anthems, released on tape & CD, to go alongside their "Showcase" video series from assorted events (although the thumbnail is of the video cover, this upload is just the tunes, one of the best of their mixes, some truly rare/impossible to get classics the Orca & New Age tracks; Ratpack "Looking Through My Window"...).
So pure you can almost taste the cool refreshing Spring of Eden. Err... That's just normal bottled water, after you drop :love_1: :dove: × 2 ?)

Back when this double side 12" of driving, deep, bass-charged POUNDING, acid techno-trance, came out, it was (for context) right before Labour's 1st election win in years...But as it is now, so was it then. Ultra-Globalistic reptile Tony Blair was perfectly fine with the Raver-Raping "Criminal Justice bill" (where any venue could be shuttered if police found so much as a vitamin D pack, with 18 year old girls seeing 11 year sentences for carrying more than 1 E). Chris Liberator was one of the Southern Illegal Rave/Free party DJ's at the forefront of the; *"Reclaim The Streets"* protest raves in 1996-1998, Prolekult being a damn fine label for hard Acid Techno that was the foremost sound heard there.
Hence Prolekult's timelessly accurate cover here.
And WHADDAYA KNOW? Blair was a silver tongued war-mongering, serpent, and anti-British, EU cuck...
Just as it is now, we just wanted to live in peace, enjoy our weekends but cocksucker killjoy tyrants are diametrically opposed to this.
