Andrew Morehouse / Dj Charlie Star / Moon Struck Red / Dj Aaron Wilson / DJ OMG / 7123 (DJ Seven)

Ignatius Feb 23, 2019

Surprised I was able to find the info for this rave. I was 17, still using Myspace, had a friend on there (Tre/DJ Seven) who had set up a rave as part of a church lock in that me and my sister had gone to. Tre promoted this event on his Myspace, a more proper underground rave than the lock in, at a shitty roller rink up in Sansom Park, which as far as can tell is now just a warehouse building...

I brought Jeremey along, I was innocent as I could have been back then (had been dating my first girlfriend for 7 months) and this didn't really change that for me, it was an all ages show and I'm sure there were crazy kids on drugs up there, but I do remember it being chill. (we met an intoxicated girl and since I didn't know any better I just thought she was friendly and a little weird) I enjoyed that night but did not feel the pull to do any more raving until 7 years later.

I was only able to find the address and lineup because Tre's Myspace page still exists and you can browse his photos and see the event posters. So while the event isn't particularly memorable to me, it is significant as being the first rave in my life, and quite possibly the only "underground" (independent one-off warehouse show promoted by word of mouth) show I will get to attend in my time
