just been on youpube lookin @ old videos and listenin to ripped tracks from the 90's when the larger part of it all was still the rave scene, such likes as helter skelter, kinetic, species, north etc and the likes of all the dj's that played at these venue's and many other's. it reminded me of how passionate i was ( and still am ) about the whole thing.
getting to the point, do you think that the uk has always had and still has best events, venue's and general clubbing atmosphere and dedication than anywhere else? i dont know, there's just something about it all. have a look on youpube and have a think about all the yrs youve had and when you used to hunt out specific tapes or cd's from nights or maybe one off tunes.
IMO the uk has all been the leader and fashion of dance culture.
