Now, About Me:-
I got introduced into the "Rave-Scene" in 1990, where some very good friends took me to one, at a Disused Airfield in Oxfordshire, (I was living in Wiltshire then) that was the time when Raves were Illegal, Banned by the Last Government which were Conservative. Yes, I know that sounds like a joke, but it wasn't, Rave-Music wasn't played by Radio 1, was it? There was me, at 30 years old, worried sick about what I was letting myself into, worried because I'd read things in the Tabloids, seen things on the News on my television!

My mates found out about this Rave by someone ringing him up to give him the Place and the Directions first on a Friday evening, so we travelled in a car, from Wiltshire into Oxfordshire, not too far away from RAF Brize Norton. On the way there we bypassed some Police Roadblocks, then found a Convoy of Cars, so my mate who was driving said "We're Close - -" or something and we became part of that convoy.

Travelling in that convoy through some county lanes we got there, parked up in a field next to the Disused-Airfield and we walked over to the Rave. I was shocked, it was FREE to enter! All we did was put £1.00 each into a bucket as a donation! (If they charged money, the DJ's running it would have got ARRESTED!)

So we walked into the Rave, there was some huge Marquees (tents), generators running outside each of them, powering the Amplifiers, Turntables (yes 100% Vinyl), and Speakers, such sounds from "Shut Up & Dance", "Altern 8", "N-Joy", "Bizzare Inc", Digital Orgasm and many more DJ's (Old Skool Rave as it's termed now) were playing from the turntables. There was Too-Many People there on that airfield to count, 1000's of People who were there for the "Sound!"

Now a Rave wasn't a Rave unless "Blockbusters by Skin Up" was played, and whoever the DJ was, he Mixed it with Thriller by Michael Jackson and that sounded Awesome (for the time, ha ha), naah seriously, could you mix those 2 tracks? Well, that weekend had converted me 100% for ever-more, when we left during the "Sunday Evening". During the time the rave lasted, the Police had entered "Freely", they found No-Fighting, No-Trouble, and left seeing No-Problems at all, so not one person was detained or arrested, thank you Oxfordshire Constabulary!

During that weekend I met people who were genuinely friendly, warm and nice to know, they all shared One Common Thing, which was "The Noise", "The Dance" and "The Vibes", and they all chatted with me with a genuine welcome in their hearts. To see all of those people still dancing in daylight was something awesome!

So I was converted into the Rave-Scene "Big-Time", so Joanna (my Ex-Wife) and I, with our trusted friends (Dr Pancreas, & Gomez) started to go to a Weekly Rave at a local Nightclub called: Golddiggers (in Chippenham, Wiltshire) and so it continued!

Here's a link: fantazia.org.uk to a Web-Site about Golddiggers!

The last Real-RAVE I had gone to (I'm nearly 51 years old) was to The Metro Weekender / SouthWestFour, in the centre of: Cardiff, Wales, (where I had introduced Nina, my 20 year old Daughter to the Rave-Scene) on Sunday 26th August 2007, (that started at 11am and finished at 11pm)! During the 12 hours there, we saw, "Paul Van Dyke", "Sasha", "Roger Sanchez", "Eric Prydz", "Marco V", "Eddie Halliwell", "Sander Van Doorn", "Lisa Lashes" and a few more DJ's!

Oh yes, that cost me £25.00 each, for my daughter and myself, (not £1.00) and a lot more for the Ravers who bought their tickets on the day! Again, I met a lot of genuinely friendly, happy people (who are around 1/2 my age) who wasn't there to cause trouble or ruin someone else's day! To be honest, I hope I will be at the same Rave in Cardiff this year (2008) knowing the Rave-Scene isn't DEAD!

On Friday 4th July went to Bionic's 8th Birthday, in The Q-Bar Cardiff, Tomorrow night I'm going to Slam / Bionic in the Q-Bar, Cardiff. Next Friday 1st August, my daughter, a couple of friends and I going to celebrate my 51st Birthday (which will be on 31st July) at Bionic's Summer Party at the Q-Bar, Cardiff!

Anyhow I could continue and write a novel here, but I will not, so I'll finish, enough said!

Oh I'm Passionate about the type of Music I Love, to give you an idea:

My real names Ean, I got the name Nexus years before i got in to clubbing. Used to be in to various forms of metal and rock, hence the more gothier attire! It was Lab 4 who got me in to clubbing, music wise...and have been a fan ever since, but still listen to Rock, and metal, along with a barrage of other styles and genre's of music!

Now that doesn't surprise me, a lot of people I know who are into Rave / Clubbing were into Metal & Heavy-Metal.

Now about myself, I used to be into Reggae from the age of 9 or so buying my 1st 7" Single (Desmond Dekker & The Aces - Israelites), then Electronic Music, (Vangelis, Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk etc), Rap (Old-Skool), Hip-Hop (Afrika Bambata & The soulsonic Force etc), then I went to my 1st Rave in 1990, and here I am!

Yeah, there's one who really anoys me, lucky I can't remember his name, to be a MC, you'd have to be good, and all the one's in "For The Love Of The Rave" are damned Good because I've seen and heard them Live!

To speed-up voices and use it in a Mix, the DJ has to be Good to carry it off!

Dougal, I saw him live on a regular basis at a place called Golddiggers in Chpenham, Wiltshire during 1990/91, the place has been flattened and it's a car park.
