United States of Hardcore
I could not make up my mind if I was going to go to this one. Basically because I really did not want to face the journey there and back without someone to talk to or help me if I got in trouble. But eventually I found out space was going. Anyway space and me got to king's X far too early and ended up waiting for one and half-hours for people to arrive. Eventually Miss Go mental, Jexxy and Simon mdma arrived with some of their mates and we all set off to a pub to meet up with the Raindance crew which me and space were really counting on so we could get a ticket for £10.YEY!! Anyway eventually we left for the venue bumping into Kev on the way who we followed down to the venue seeing as we had no idea where it was. Queuing out side this venue seemed very strange as it was right next to the main road and that seemed strange to me heh! Anyway I got let in after a very long groping session by the security, which was probably a good thing in the longrun, and then started to try and find the hardcore room which was a fucking nightmare. After about 10 min and 5 flights of stairs I found it yeyyyyyyyyyyyy. The room was pumping with the sound of the dj Voltage on the dexx with his energetic style of hardcore djing. Dropping his dub plate everyone who was in at the time going mental! Brisk was up next and the room was starting to fill up. Top set got me and everyone else in the room jumping about like nutters. By now I was really buzzing on the music and the atmosphire. I have to say I've never been to a rave with such a happy atmosphire everyone was really going mental. All the sets were wicked with ponder and HB doing a very nice 96 style set which stirred up memories of when I first got into hardcore. Uplifts set was wicked as well. Last set of the night was Kaos, very stomping just how I love it, and his mixing was pritty good to. Lots of dubs in this set and I loved them all. I totally lost my head in this set. I think most people did heh. I did not go into the oldskool arena but it looked totally amazing from the belcony!!. Only probs in the night were I WANTED IT LOUDER and when jexx got kicked out I was not sure what was going on and was worried one of us had colapsed, but this was soon cleared up when I was told by tom(u4ea) what had happened. Totally wicked night, I'll be at the next one for sure. Big respect to the Kevronicationtellpathynationinasmartytube, MissGomental u nutter!!!, Snow, tom (bog seat sniffer), Jexxy (U got kicked out and ya got back in), Tom's G/f (I think that is what ya said mate), Space, Paul@ush (Horn Crew massive), Viking, Ponder and HB (wicked set), Simon MDMA (Wicked to actually speak to ya at last in real) uplift(wicked set) and everyone else who I met my brain aint working yet but respect to u :)
