well all the raves were "hardcore" (91) then they turned into "hardcore jungle" (92/93) then that turned into "drum n bass"
so i guess what was called hardcore - now called oldskool. and ting
initally it was pendulum - hold your colour lp, more than alot lp and sub focus lp. then a couple of years on from that, what got me into the decent dnb was a momentum night in leeds (dispatch)
yeh forgot to mention it was an Abstractions night in Bristol that got me into the darker sound - i believe foreign concept and skeptical were headlining

I went to see Michael Jackson at Wembley in 1992 with Mum and little bro. I was 13 at the time and went to HMV and bought 2 tape compilations called Raving Mad and Maximum Rave. It had some absolute classics on those tapes. My musically taste was changed forever.........the breakbeats had consumed my soul from that point onward.

I was 15 in 92. me and my mate from school who lived next door would play games his spectrum 128k and listen to Altern8 - Full On Mask Hysteria and 808 State - Ex El over and over. that was my intro to dance music, then the transition to dnb/jungle was when goldie inner city life came out a few of years later. somehow I missed the proper hardcore/crossover scene...the wicked breaks and basslines. I really wish I was born 20 years earlier so I got to see the music evolve into what it is today. I would've loved to be 15 in 92.
