When I was 15 in 1994 a small,but rough, town in Norfolk called Thetford held a U-16 rave called Hyperdance in the local sports hall. It was only about an 8th full. But Ratpack played for a fraction of their normal fee. I lived for the scene then, my bedroom was literally wallpapered with fliers. They played a wicked long set and were incredible. At the end when everyone was leaving I went to the toilet and saw the youth ventre organiser and in my ecstasy fuelled state thanked her for organising it......and in the corner chilling out were some blackblokes with dreads, a rare sight in a small Norfolk town.....then it dawned on me ...IT WAS THE RATPACK, I asked the youth worker if I could talk to them, she said yes. As a skinny naive 15 year old white boy, who got intimidated just getting fliers from record shops, I was very intimdated they were all well built smoking weed which was rare then cos all you could get was hash back then. But I went up to them and praised them on their wicked live set, and they pulled up a chair for me, and each one took the time to sign my Fantazia top. Lovely blokes, found it hilarious talking to this twitching little 15 year old with rolling eyes and a stuckout jaw. They inspired me to start Djing, Inever made it big, but was a good and respected techno DJ whoused to play at all the illegals in Norfolk after Hardcore evolved intojungle, then D and B. Cos Norfolkis reallyrural with no clubs raves were held in mainly marquees in fields,barn,or the beach, and occassionally unused warehouses in Norwich.
I remember listening to this play on pirate station Kool FM whilst at boarding school in Croydon, South London in 1992. TDK tapes at the ready, finger on the record button! Those were the days!
I believe the natural state of human beings is peace and love and mostly wanting to live in harmony. But society is set up in so many ways to take us away from that state. It wasn't long after the raving times that cola became the main taste, I think it was done purposefully because if more & more had caught on to coming together in love the people with power would lose their control over us. Divide & conquer is not just a saying. I think those of us who experienced that feeling & probably those of the 60s who also experienced being together in love have got an important role to play in doing the best we can to try bring that love & unity into our lives and the world. 1 love.
@@lollylula6399 beautifully said. I feel the same. We've got a responsibility to show the next generations how to come together in love and peace. We can't let the people in charge dictate how we live and how see and relate to one another. Peace and love all
@@Razmatazuk are next generation are being turned into genderless ❄ who get OFFENDED at the slightest thing the next generation are fucked i hate to see the world my kids are growing up in it saddens me to know are children's future will be bleak
Had a beer with Mark in my local boozer a few years ago. There was a piano in the pub and he busted out all the old rave anthems on there. Absolute legend. This is a stone cold classic
I'm not even an adult yet, but I can approve, if I'd been living in the 80s/90s that this track would be that one specific song I would listen to all the time... Such a good song! Thank y'all.
God Bless my brother always Mark David Kelly. Passed on 23rd of September. Here's to all our times and ravin to your Favourite Ratpack tracks. See you in heaven bro xxx Love you so much xxx
@@davidhewitt555 Here in Birmingham, especially Erdington, asking someone for a rizla is what people seem to do when they want to speak to someone on the street. I had some girld come to my room for rizla the other night, but I think they just wanted the rizla ;) lol. But generally I find that I'm looking for a lighter rather than a rizla. those oven lighters are the best lighters as the are bog, long and they dont burn your fingers when you tilt it upside down to light a weed pipe
Used to sing this as a kid I'm 40 now just dreamt of this tune and woke up searched for it havnt heard it in decades ......I was standing in the corner a searching for my rizla
Sanctuary security aint lettin no 13-14 yr old in mate, Dunno what raves you were at. All the legal licensed raves were tight on under age clubbers trust.
Got to see Ratpack live for 2mins then the place got raided.. ;-( Euphoria/Bodies wearhouse,Leeds Ive never seen so many drugs in a matter of mins, they was getting thrown every where when all the police flew in.. Never forget that like it was yesterday.. Happy but sad memories at the same time
this song got me threw childhood and my teens! actually saved my life!! ratpack you saved me and you should see what im doing with my life now because of it
I was a little kid painting soldier's at 3am while Stu Allen and the like played wicked Choonz like these, I used to drink some serious Tizer BELCH FUEL 😎👌
Ratpack at Clockstock on Saturday were f-ing banging!! Still on a high from the Clock, seen you guys so many times now & you always, always deliver! Love yas 🧡🧡
I had some marajuana coz I needed to get higher so I went in to the corner with my rizla and my ganja and built a spliff til was totally out my head rat pack til we were rocking 😂
What is this type of music, i love all kinds of music i love piano keys chords in these dance tunes. Usually listen but never know names of the tracks or who made them.
God, sitting in a small bedroom smoking weed with a group of my best mates with this blaring in the background. One of them rolling on a table covered in weed flakes and torn rizla packs. Everyone's talking shit and no one cares about the world around us. It's just us in box and nothing else. Take me back.
Will never forget the first time we heard this at a rave in 1992 when the Rat Pack brought it out …. Let’s just say that thousands of ravers absolutely lost the plot to it! 🕊️🕊️
20 years old when this was out- raving, pills acid and bottles of water but no agro or hatred- one love to all for those banging days ❤

Love this story man..:-)
Brilliant story, glad it worked out well.
My boss owns the local church in thetford
Wow your youth worker was a piece of shit allowing you to use drugs
Tl;dr
I remember listening to this play on pirate station Kool FM whilst at boarding school in Croydon, South London in 1992. TDK tapes at the ready, finger on the record button! Those were the days!
I remember listening to Xposure FM in 1998 during UK Garage. Great times when I was at Croydon College!
I used to live Down the Road in Croydon OMG !!! Those were the Days of Kool FM
what School was you at
@@danielpayne500 Selsdon High, before it became the Academy
I will hear this till I'm dead and it will always mean more than I'm willing to admit
Listened to this,in the early 90's. My eldest daughter was raised on this music.
#raving mother & daughter
my mum and dad raised me in ratpack same with omni trio bucket heads etc
Another one that gives me goosebumps. Why was this the only music in most of our liftimes that ever brought everyone together and uplifted us all!?
It's all beer and brawls now, gone are the days of raves, rushing and peace

1992 I was 12, with my Dreamscape bomber jacket on singing the lyrics to Ratpack while bowling through the school corridors with my raving crew :D

I was born in 95 but all my childhood my dad listen to ratpack and still to this day i listen to it
40 years old and this reminds me of when I was a mad little nutter going to raves at 13- 14 good old days 😂, still buzzing now from them times 😂🔥
Sanctuary security aint lettin no 13-14 yr old in mate, Dunno what raves you were at. All the legal licensed raves were tight on under age clubbers trust.
the whole point of a rave is that it isnt regulated and liscensed 😂
They definitely don’t make them like this anymore. What a tune!
I remember going to the moon dance rave and they were there.....
Buzzing on the fair ground.......
Best time ever.....
Rushing so much
Just searching for my rizla now
Seen these again last year at 90's baby @Bowlers Manchester n the room was bouncing, absolutely class 👌🏼
Reading through these comments give me chills.
I cylcled 8 miles to work there and back each day for a year, whatever the weather. I'd honestly get there 10minutes earlier listening to this album
Heard this on the radio the other day, think this was 1992 if I remember correctly.
Absolutely banging tune.
Got to see Ratpack live for 2mins then the place got raided.. ;-( Euphoria/Bodies wearhouse,Leeds
Ive never seen so many drugs in a matter of mins, they was getting thrown every where when all the police flew in.. Never forget that like it was yesterday..

I feel sorry for the kids nowadays. It's all been done....
I'm glad I was part of that time.
Yet now is the aftermath of the 'Rave Generation.'
Yea.. I'm part of the new generation, but I wished I'd be in yours right now.. Sadly, you can't go back in time. :(

I can feel another rush coming on!!
God, sitting in a small bedroom smoking weed with a group of my best mates with this blaring in the background. One of them rolling on a table covered in weed flakes and torn rizla packs.
Everyone's talking shit and no one cares about the world around us. It's just us in box and nothing else. Take me back.
My favourite DnB track 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
thanks , too good OMG
Will never forget the first time we heard this at a rave in 1992 when the Rat Pack brought it out …. Let’s just say that thousands of ravers absolutely lost the plot to it! 🕊️🕊️
Still looking for my rizla.
Added to playlist ;-) I like this song.
DJ faydz 1992 in 10 minutes brought me here having played it for maybe 10 seconds but that was enough
Why has this only got 100 or so comments?!?! Anyone here 2021? ❤️🔥
People don't know class! They're still going, saw them two days ago at a Centre Force event, still quality 👍

I first heard this when I was 15, that was 30yrs ago.
Used play this at skool on my rasta balsta 🎶♥️
Ritzy, in Streatham, every weekend in the summer of '92. (Club is long gone now, my memories remain!) Cheesy *as fuck*, but I still love it!
I got whipped by the big man's dreads in Bagley's, it was an honour 😅😂
After many years I've just made the connection to Tom's Diner, I always thought it sounded familiar but couldn't place it 🤣
Wow, just wow... 👌🏻
Wow remember ravin to this

My mum passed this tune on to me I’m 23
Wicked brings back good times
Dunno why, makes me sad, just wanna go back. The drugs and music just ain't the same anymore.(Carlito Alter ego)
