- This was supposed to be the
- biggest Belgium rave party, but
- they didn't succeed. (The Rave
- Explosion Part III is still the
- biggest) I guess there where
- about 5.000 people that night.
- As you look at the name 'Belgium
- Rave' and the dj. line-up you
- can see that all the dj's and
- live act's are from Belgium, a
- 100% pure Belgium rave. I
- arrived rather late (again :)
- around 00.00 Am. The first
- couple of houres when i was
- there were not that good, they
- played a little bit to
- commercial music (and i hate
- that!). I mean no 2unlimited or
- Capella, but a lot of wellknow
- Belgium stuff, mostly from
- Bonzai Records. I didn't hear
- all the dj's and i don't
- remember them all (the ones i've
- heard).
-
- {* Roal Reynders}
- You probably know him from
- 'Dream Your Dream' they scored
- lots of top hits. He is not
- that a good dj, he plays lots of
- wellknow things, things i've
- heard already 1000 times. He
- has earned his name because he's
- so famous with Bonzai under the
- name 'Dream You Dream'.
-
- {* Yves Deruyter}
- Fucking awesome! Really good
- music, perfectly mixed and again
- mostly Hardtrance, yeah!
- Watch out for him at Energy'94.
-
- {* The Fly}
- Played at bit the same style
- like Yves Deruyter. But i think
- he is not that a good mixer like
- Yves De Ruyter. Overall is was
- good.
-
- {* Live Act}
- Actually the same live act as on
- MAYDAY 6, except that they now
- played 5 songs i think, (in full
- lenght) and on MAYDAY 6 a couple
- of 10, but only a couple of
- minutes from a song, kinda like
- a little mix from all their
- successes. In the beginning
- lots of things went wrong,
- sounded funny! :-)
-
- I've heard some other Dj's to
- but i don't know who they were.
- Because at that moment there was
- no presentation anymore :( But
- they were some good ones between
- them! Especially the guy who
- played around 05.00Am.
-
- The music system: Really big!
- There where about 50speakers in
- the hall. On the flyer they
- said 'Biggest loud and light
- show ever seen at a Belgian
- House Party' i guess they were
- right! The quality of the music
- was also good, maybe a little
- bit to loud.
-
- Light System: Also very nice, 2
- lasers, a lot of strobos,
- smoke-canons, spots... I think
- they used the system not good
- enough, with such an equipment
- they could do much better i
- think.
-
- Conclusion: not a bad party,
- but i think they played a little
- bit to commercial shit (or
- should i say 'wellknown-
- stuff'). After 3am it was
- really nice! All the kids with
- their Bonzai-Shirts were gone
- and the played very nice
- hardtrance stuff! Yeah! I
- wished it was the whole evening
- like after 3am :)
