Jesus, I was a late bloomer. I hit the scene a few weeks before my 23rd birthday. I caught the final days of traffic, but unfortunately missed the light square le rox, rush, and all the other iconic places before my time.

18, I had been to pubs and the like around 16-17, but that was nothing really. Was never a nightclubber till a freind in Melbourne took me to a dodgy (really dodgy) looking place in the CBD, I was very reluctant to go in, saw all those people in phats and such, all a nice bunch, got trashed, had the best night of my 18 years haha. That place was the old Bass Station in Little MacKillop St...ahh good times!!! (its called 3D now... bit of a druggie den now IMO)



Came back to Adelaide a while after and told a freind all about it (she was a interpreter who never told me about her hobbies till then) and she said 'go to system6!" and that, was that!!

Still love it, but don't go so hard anymore...

Was never a big drinker till my 2nd stint in Melbourne, where I picked up a drinking habit :unsure: when I was 18, I never drank, it never interested me... oh how things have changed haha

15 i started sneakin out to rio's [in 1997!!] then various clubs [lerox, metro, cargo].. i dunno, people didn't seem to care so much about underagers back then, though i did get kicked out of magoos [old traffic] by a bouncer who was the brother of one of the girls in my year and recognised me from the formal

but i didn't know about 'enhanced experiences' til bout '91 as i just used to go out by myself, dance and go home [not talk to anybody], i just thought everybody was just really friendly! haha :D

Ditto - my first party was the hardcore/oldskool room at twice as nice at heaven back then. I turn 28 this year. Next year in January will be my 10th anniversary raving (scary)

Long before that however I was listening to shows like LunaC on coast FM and other shows with harder dance music. When i was 16 a german friend of mine gave me a mix tape with lots of hardcore on it popular in germany - cheesy hardcore - stuff like Friends by scooter, and that track with the vocal hook "this nightclub is closed forever" - unfortunately i don't still have it :gasp: :cry:

After that I started getting into all the forms of dance music i'd never heard before by listening to internet radio. I used to tape a few hours of it at a time, then play it back in my walkman. 20kbps realaudio over dialup was good enough quality. Drum & bass, hardcore, garage, 2-step - I used to listen to it all - still have a lot of those mixes on CD-R here somewhere.

Even before that i had dance music compilations in my collection, but not any hardcore until that tape found it's way into my hands.

It's a funny scene. :lol: There's been unforgettable nights, fantastic nights, average nights, and real disasters - but you take the bad with the good, like anything else in life.

I was 16 when I had my first clubbing experience (The Big Ticket - 1995) and I was 19 when I went to my first rave (UW Rollers Convention @ Synagogue - 1998). I did have a year away from clubbing and raving and when I turned 21 I went to Rush and my life changed after that!

To think of how far we have come since those halcyon days of being a barely out-of-school teen and to think how far dance music has come since "Heres Johnny"!

i was probably 16 when my sisters husband took me out to a overage rave was going to underage before and to some clubs properly hit the scene when i was over 18. I used to go out to mainly hip hop shows before i went to raves.

i was 16 when i went to my first rave, which was ultrasonic vs public domain...but i had been listening to hard dance music for maybe a year before that, i think basically when i first came to australia, after a very short lived experience with hip hop that is. never looked back, started with trance then happy hard and now i can't get enough dutch. i remember trying to transfer 2 or 3 gigabytes of music at school from one thing to another when the whole system shut down, and one of the teachers blamed it on "that flipping techno crap" :lol:

hmmm i *think* the first club i ever went to was Minke on New Years when i was 17....Dropped for the first time that night too :shifty:

Then after the Big Day Out 02, i was trying to find a club i could get into and Cargo was the only place that let me in. The Rukkus crew happened to have a dnb night that night and thats where i was converted to break beat and havent looked back since ;)

I dont know how everyone remembers the exact age and first rave they went to! All those first events seem to roll into one for me.....aaah memory loss! I was prob about 19, one of the ultraworlds of course! I of course started out the daggy way going to planet for greed when i was 18 and heaven every sat night. Then i started going to Twice as Nice and then must have somehow ended up at 'real' raves. My first raves i remember were prob a fluoro party at Rush; a party at the Jail; ummmm......i dont remember!

so many good times, so many fluffy outfits, so many recovery partys. The recovery partys are wht i remember the most! spas, candles, backyard djs, good friends, hmmmmm etc etc he he!!!

I actually think the recovery partys were always better than the raves! :kiss:
