I'm a dutch student and i'm doing research about it for my school. Are you still interested in this kind of music, are you still going to these parties? If so, can you tell me the names of these parties or the clubs. I'm trying to find somebody in england who i can interview for my study. Thanx a lot, greetz roos Hey,

I'd no idea about the ragge twins but it makes perfect sense - also had the pleasure of seeing flinty and badman perform to about 100 people in Dun Laoghaire at the Boylan Community Center - yeah the venue was as drab as it sounds - but the crowd loved it. Then again i also remember being in london at a "dancehall" party in 1990 and that awful "Girlie Girlie" ("flash it round the worldie")" was the "big tune" of the night?? You have your skeletons london!! :) great piece, growing up in Dublin with all the pirate stations we’d get back to back roots reggae shows followed by “rave” shows – i do recall the show by “john public” ending with Max Romeo “chase the devil” and the following show “the sweatbox” beginning with the prodigys “outta space” which sampled rather well the Max Romeo “send into outta space to find another race”..

This particular bit made me crack up laughing And indeed the rest of the tune descends into drug-fuelled debauchery (admittedly with a probably conscious sense of the ridiculous): it’s a catalogue of public sexual acts, people bringing their bicycles inside and riding them around, fighting, women showing their arses, and men dancing with one another.
