Its a sign of the strength of the UK Hardcore rave scene that artist like Darren Styles have the confidence to release albums of their own work and get them TV advertised. To justify the expense sales must be good and only a more mainstream audience could get the numbers. UK Hardcore is in good health and long may that continue. With a teenage (15) daughter I know that her friends are really into the music. Some people laugh at the kids, but these are next years audience and a sign that future growth will come in the parties as they turn their aspirations from spending on the music and merchandise into actually going to the events.
It was the same back in 1992, and I have posted about this before with the flyer collecting etc.
Now when am I going to get my review copy Mr Styles. Oh well we can hear it all in September as he is one of the headline acts for Fantazia Heroes 3D
Founded 1991, Fantazia held the largest ever raves, during 91-93, culminating in One Step Beyond (30k). Other parties include the Big Bang@SECC, Summertime, Bournemouth (as seen ITN News). Fantazia also organised the rave on Inspector Morse and has the largest amount of rave footage in the UK. We later went on to launch the massive selling House Collection & Club Classics series of compilations.
