a year long rave would be sweet but yeah commercial raves are pretty shit. Although I would love a handjob from MC ribbz he’s my hero. I used to enjoy slammin vinyl and other festival type things but you cannot beat free partys and underground style fesivals.
BTW that pic is legendary when I first joined this site it was an on going topic. I also remember seeing it on dontstayin.com when I was a chessy quaver. I still have my official slammin vinyl high vis workmans to that I paid a tenner for the first time I went. They proper put price on everything. Used to make me laugh cos you would have vendors walking up and downb the main gate queues selling glow sticks and disposable cameras. But They would the sticks would be taken of you at the search tent cos you were only allowed the ones they sell. Maybe it was something to do with the cemicals inside. But that was just on of many scams that would go on at the sanctuary. Me and daaft were reminising on I.M the other day talking about the various dealer and security guard combos scams that used to be done at the sanctuary milton keynes. You would buy say a pill of the dealer (but I doubt it even was proper E’s) and instantly you would get the pills taken off you by security. The security was really naughty at the sanctuary man. I read on the SV website about these to loads who were mauled by the security dogs for tring to climb in though the side fence. They were proper messed up man. This was thge last ever event at the sanctuary.
HAHA yeah I’ve posted on here before about them doing that with glow sticks, it’s a fucking disgrace! I’ve seen it first hand with drugs as well, guys working with the bouncers at the sanctuary selling drugs, then insta bust+confiscated drugs (fake drugs) then handed back to the sellers.
This wasn’t/Isn’t paranoia, I know for a fact It happens!
Lol I remember at that warehouse rave me you tom and kev went to, there was a cracked out breh selling Ketamine for £4 a line, I was sceptical about his grade so let him be, else if I found out he had the Indian ting, I’d have never left him alone hahaha.
yeah in the end TVP and the Council got fucked off with all the corruption, filled the place with undercovers and got enough evidence and got the place de-licensed. It took a while, and wasn’t widely reported not due to conspiracies but the rave scene’s tendency to try and hide bad news. also over the years especially when drugs penalties became more lenient for middle time users, people got less scared of bouncers and more likely to inform to Police.
I remember hearing tales of good looking but nervous young women who seemed to dance very badly with a lot of big heavy looking dudes what didn’t say a lot and the women were constantly fiddling around in their handbags (where the motorola or cleartone covert radios were kept). it was also a early testbed for airwave encrypted radios (as the encrypt bit could be used on local system even if the rest of TVP was still analogue) and Nokia made one what looked just like one of their civillian mobiles (albeit slightly bigger) precisely for purposes like this.
When I first started going I used to think that the dealers had allot of balls to just stand by a door and shout “pills, coke” at everyone walking past. But after a while it became more apparent. I remember once when I got searched by a bouncer and I handed over a pill to him he proper looked at it and asked me where I got it from and who sold it to me. He was convinced I bought it from inside but I hadn’t I brought them in myself. But I wasn’t telling him that I just said I bought it of a young guy in the fast track (hardcore) arena and in the end he just let me go. But I could tell he was trying to sniff out dealers for his own pocket book. Also probably keeping checks on his own dealers too. incase they are selling more than he knows about. I bet they were proper gutted when the sanctuary shut down. They must have made a good bit of cash out of that place. I know the guy who owned the estate got fucking minted off the place, and must have got a fair whack for selling out to milton keynes dons and idea. Fair play the the guy to TBH the magic had pretty much gone from that place. Noise restrictions were put in pretty soon after I first attended cos of a new housing development nearby, and on the forums ebveryone was complaining that it had gone quiet the security was made up of shady underworld characters like yardys and other ruff looking dudes. The hardcore was ruined by the awfull mc’s like storm and whizkid etc. The techno room soundsystem was neglected and dying.
I went to one after that in shepton mallet in the royal bath and west showground. But that was even mors shit. The soundsystems were REALLY quiet we could hear each other speaking at the frontof the stages. There were 5 big arenas which was wicked but the music was too quiet. Also it was the night that the clocks went back so we were expecting to get an hours extra partying like you normaly do, but instead of not giving it to us, they also closed an hour earlier than billed. MOTHER FUCKERZ. I remember that MC storm saying at the end “I know its early but this is our new home and we gotta make a good first impresion” CUNT Then we had to wait fucking ages for 2 hours for the next train home WANK. Its not exactlky like it’s the firat time there has been a rave at that place though.I remember having a tape or two from an event from there before so MC storm is full of shit (and a wierd looking SOB too) When you see the MC’s outside at the events and theres mobs of people trying to get autographs and shit I felt like going up to him and saying “thanks for ruining every single track with your incessant vocal scratching and you poxy rewinds, can’t you just listen to the fucking music and stop telling people to blow there whistles and horns on the count of 3. I’m sure people are capable of making there own minds up if they want to blow there horns. So please if you really must MC keep it to a bare minimum like in the good old days” Then hand him a tape form a decent old skool set like originv94 or decent dreamscape for around 93 or 94 or sent him to MC ribbz for lessons or something.
One time I was in the old skool tent and scott brown was doing an set under his old name hyperact playing all the old bouncy hardcore techno tracks that I fucking love so much. And then along comes MC fucking strm with his one two tree’s and rewinds. Log was not best pleased.

anyway all thats behind me now so move on without moaning about it ever again I promise
bloody hell is that what he looks like these days?
as it looks there more like he is being interviewed by a radio or TV journo rather than MC’ing (due to the broadcast style windshield on the mic) at first I thought you might have mistakenly linked some press release pic of a rehab patient being interviewed at one of the many drugs rehab centres across the country with a brand name including the word “sanctuary” :laugh_at:
LOL!
Lol?

Mate, Storm always was / presumably still is an arrogant cock. Came close to banging him out on more than 1 occasion back in the day, lol. Also, for an MC that could vocally scratch & make it sound fucking brilliant, as well as being a legend of the scene, I’d say there’s none finer than MC Scratchmaster Techno (the original, not the imposter who stole his name)!
I liked MC charley B from the happy hardcore days of say 96 to 99. I was first introduced to hardcore in 97 though and had only heard 2 tape packs origin 94 from brightons corn exchange and aldershots rythem station, and my notorious hardcore heaven 98 independence day pack that i’m still waiting for someone to upload. That oldskoolrave vids guy on youtube has uploaded the old skool pack but has missed out the main arena set. I can buy the pack online but I havn’t got a decent tape player nor a tape to mp3 converter. I think me an gtek spoke bout this before.
Anyway That MC sharkey was okay back in the day but it got kinda old quite quick. Then he became a dj and was pretty bland in that department. I stil love Ribbz though he is quality. I love it when you here him say “no more shout outs were holding it down for the minute and listen to the techno” I remeber when I was leaving that rave in shepton mallet and when we were in the car park we saw ribbz and his mate running to his car and speeding off quickly and laughing about it. to this day I would have loved to have known what they had done to make them do that. He had a couple of flight cases on him, one of them must have been his but maybe he had stolen the other one of someone else XD nah they were probably ment to do something on the administration side of things before they left but done a runner instead. It was deffo him though. You can’t mistake him for anyone else. Also I shouted Ribbzy and he looked over and raised his arm. What i’m trying to say it IT WAS HIM and I wasn’t tripping. Oh yeah this particular party was on when the mushroom sales were legal in the UK so they had like a market bus in that was selling shrooms and other legal highs which was cool. But they were bloody expensive. I bought a bottle of poppers for the walk home. We were all sniffing it on the walk back to castle carry station. Was quite a fun time but so many bits of the night were disappointing like the quiet riggs and the being skanked for 2 hours. After that party I just decided to embrace what brighton had to offer in the rave scene instead of travelling miles for the massive nights. I would settle for a short bus ride for an average sized night.

maybe he was (and his mate), and they also had been gifted a quantity of mushrooms “for later”? this was about the time the British music industry were tyring to do the same with uk hardcore that NL did with hardstyle and trance, to get it both mainstream and underground at the same time with a strong appeal to teenagers and youths.
to do this involves having a cleaner cut image distanced from drugs a bit, and not looking blatantly out of your head when faced with thousands of 15 year old kids wanting autographs. often there are reporters from the mainstream press as well.
Think about how two bemushroomed chaps, one of them a promiment MC would plan to escape a rave, without having to abandon the stash of mushrooms. if these were kept in a less discreet container even if legal they could still be grassed up to the press, but a flightcase would be overlooked as more likely to contain microphones or other audio kit.
