Best was my first big GOA garty back in 1995 next to my rural hometown. Was just amazing to see thousands of people from all around the world dancing in a wooden place were I used to have barbecue in summer times ;-)

This party was insane ! The best was that there were many friends of mine and people I knew because I lived there.

When I arrived, hundreds of policemen were hanging around because the party was not allowed. That was quite usual for goa parties in the beginning of techno/trance. There was further huge deco and blacklight arts and it was big fun to dance into the rising sun .... What you think in terms of "multimedia" could first be seen on goa parties.

German spiritzone label hosted the party (dj antaro) https://www.discogs.com/label/Spirit+Zone+Recordings which was very massive at that time.

Hey, @Bluemax. Pardon the digression from the main topic, but, are you from Goa?

Almost any event I ever went to at The Que Club (Birmingham, UK). Impossible to pick an individual night really.
I've been clubbing since the mid 90's. But nothing beats that place!
A huge sound system, custom lighting and decor for each event, in what had been a Methodist Church!
Utterly mental experience. The place was massive, beyond imagination. There were endless corridors to get lost in whilst under the influence.

The Church was mental .. I remember on August bank holiday Monday morning...an after party after 10/12 hours of mentalness at Sundissential.

Tenaglia at Space in Ibiza in the late 90s when Space was tiny (raised DJ box with a step up to the left I remember) When he dropped BT - fibonacci sequence I was finished.. Sasha came on later that morning and killed any resilience I had left inside me, great times.

Having looked at the Raves of 2024.. they're far cry from (show boaters and phones out) the likes of Thunderdome in the 90s and all the UK ones back in the 90s. Take me back any time.
