CLAUS BACHOR @ RAVE CLUB Cologne _ November 1989 _ Part 2
Cologne’s RAVE CLUB [ ... a brief club historyhttp://www.psychothrill.de/?page=item&post=339 ] had caused quite a stir as a club institution in the Dome city during the years 1988 to 1990, not only throughout Germany, but also on a European basis – e.g. via features in FACE and I-D, as well as through its monthly schedule and its bookings [et al. Marshall Jefferson, Kym Mazelle, EPMD, Todd Terry…] together with the residents. For the first time, there now were club nights in Cologne, which were solely dedicated to House and Acid without any compromise and these also became an example in many respects for anything substantial that has been going on in Cologne’s night life ever since, be it Space Club, "Elevator", Warehouse, PSYCHO THRILL or "Total Confusion" and which laid a foundation for all kinds of sounds that any Psycho Thrill guest has been experiencing since 1991 on a regular basis: Get right on matey – there are no rules, fear is unknown and sleep is out of question!
"This 2nd part of the mix was also recorded during one of my rare solo nights without my partner Roland Casper sometime in November of 1989 [ Part1 of the mix > http://soundcloud.com/claus-bachor/rave-club-89-claus-bachor-cologne-november-1989 ]. It was done with a crappy Rain mixer lacking gain control, only allowing semi-professional monitoring and I would kick any promoter’s ass for this today. The DJ booth also was exposed to some disturbances by visitors, which accounts for some of the skips during the mix . . . here while mixing Rhythim Is Rhythim's "Nude Photo" into Terence Parker's "We Need Somebody".
But the complete works of euphoric clubbers and the extraordinary atmosphere, which was created by the combination of a very good sound system, light and sound [two strobes, a fog machine, two flowers], made this club experience so absolutely valuable. That was the place, where we started the shit in Cologne. This mix got re-mastered by a friend from some TDK tapes that were recorded on a Yamaha tape recorder, so the quality is poor at times, but it is an authentic sound document of Cologne’s club life in the late 80s on the other hand. Parts 3 / 4 / 5 will be uploaded soon…
