"Absolutely blinding" to remain in character with the era this echoes - really authentic video and great music as well. Brings back memories to me - yep I'm old enough to remember (partly) those hedonistic days. One of my life regrets is that I always left my precious cameras at home when I went to the raves and parties 'back in the day'. Super stuff I will be looking out for Daniel's work in the future. Thanks for sharing it.

Sorry, unless I'm very much mistaken (which I often am when attempt smug blog comments!) they are playing a Sega Mega Drive (1990 in the UK) with Super Kick-Off (1992 for the Mega Drive).

@ Ed Wright

Darn it - we spent ages discussing what year it could be. Some of the references said early 90s but the girls' hair said late 80s to me, so not having your gaming knowledge I plumped for then. Mark is now scrutinising the NME cover to work out which one it could be...

I don't want to have to say this, but there is a BMW with an 02 plate that appears briefly at 3 mins 4 seconds.

Minor errors aside, it's still a great piece.

Good work, but does this mean we are about to witness the widespread re-emergence of the blouson jacket? I'm not sure I can cope although I had several random people offer to buy the one I used to wear circa 1990.

Great video, but I think you'll find It's a black 1990 BMW 3 series, registration G402 ABY. Go to the Enquiry page on the DVLA site and see for yourself (yes I am sad)

Worth a watch for the last twenty seconds.
That firework and 'it's not about running' is all they needed to film... heheheh

Incredible. Definitely deserves a feature length film. Apart from 24hr Party People there hasn't really been a good movie that captures the early rave scene. Well done, truly authentic!

@ Ed Wright

Isn't the game Sensible Soccer?? I had that on the Amiga 1200. It came out in 1990 I reckon. Although the Amiga was joystick and not controller based, so i'm not 100%.

Great video by the way.

Ahh, I had thought of Sensible Soccer, which would date it to 1992 or later on the Mega Drive. I also thought it might have been World Cup Italia 90. But the black pitch diagram that is overlaid on the screen at 0.05 seems to point to Super Kick-Off.

Oh yeah, great video!

And I thought most of the design cartel were indie kids?

Takes me back, receive a cryptic message at 9, followed the glow stick deep into the forest with record bag in-tow, drop the needle and get your boogie on, perfect.
