Rave‘s transformation of club culture turned it into a world force that influences almost all pop genre. It has created a thriving branch of the show business and helped break down sexual and racial divides. Nevertheless such an outcome is hard to predict, once the authorities split up Castlemorton, arresting a gang of travelers and pilled-up ravers.
Twenty years ago this month, the rave scene reached its high point (or nadir, counting on your purpose of view) once thousands of individuals gathered for the week-long Castlemorton Common fest. WatchDocumentary.TV celebrates this day with a documentary, however clubbing modified the globe, given by the actor Idris Elba, and a six-hour dance-athon that includes DJ sets from the likes of participant Flash and Annie Mac.
Since the late Eighties, police had been enjoying a cat-and-mouse game with party organisers and their followers, starting with inner-city warehouse break-ins, then the M25 events outside London, before the mega-raves that culminated in Castlemorton. With drugs, invasive and loud amplified music, this was a social group on more pernicious than the antecedently demonised teddy boys, modification versus rockers and punk combined. It enraged the government, particularly the Conservative government that concocted the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act that infamously legislated against “repetitive beats”. Nevertheless those four-to-the-floor rhythms weren’t to be suppressed. Instead, the scene went legit and occupied clubland.
Demonized by the establishment when it exploded on to the scene in the late Eighties, the rave sub-culture that began in Britain’s urban underground still affects clubbing across the world, told by Chris Mugan.
The documentary includes epic artists like: Skrillex, David Guetta, Moby, Armin van Buuren, Cafe del Mar, Carl Cox, Daft Punk, etc.
In 1988, the UK music scene was marked by the birth of one of the oldest cultures in Rock’n’Roll music until today, the Acid House.
In just two years increased the level of underground culture in London clubs and went on to raise tens of thousands of people at parties giant illegal and Outdoor Warehouse Rave Partys. All this movement was called Acid House.
After aggressive campaign led by the media against new current British government got involved and banned these parties. Millions of pounds have been spent to set up a special police unit, whose purpose was to annihilate the movement. Never in the UK there has been no such reaction against the culture of youth.
