Wie angekündigt gibt es jetzt erst einmal einen kleinen Ausflug in die Warehouserave Szene Londons zu Beginn der 90er. In der zweiten (kürzeren) Hälfte dann die ein oder andere Hommage an diese Zeit, welche in den letzten fünf Jahren erschienen sind.
Burial[…] and I hear this hope in all those old tracks, trying to unite the UK, but they couldn’t, because the UK was changing in a different direction, away from us. Maybe the feeling of the UK in clubs and stuff back then, it wasn’t as artificial , self-aware or created by the internet. It was more rumour, underground folklore. No mobile phones back then. Anyone could go into the night and they had to seek it out. Because you could see it in people, you could see it in their eyes. Those ravers were at the edge at their lives, they weren’t running ahead or falling behind, they were just right there and the tunes meant everything. In the 90s you could feel that it had been taken away from them. In club culture, it all became like super-clubs, magazines, trance, commercialized. All these designer bars would be trying to be like clubs. It all got just taken. So it just went militant, underground from that point. That era is gone, now there’s less danger, less sacrifice, less journey to find something.
BurialOld underground producers – their releases had a mystery to them. When all you’ve got is a logo, track name and music, it makes you focus more on what’s important. I’m not some full time music person and it’s a laugh making music, but all I want is to make tunes – nothing else.
Dementsprechend sind fehlende Linernotes heute Konzept und nicht wie sonst Faulheit (Prima Ausrede).
