I mean shuffling is still decent but it’s boring af without the upper body movement. There are some decent dancers out there that I can appreciate, but the “no upper body” is a deal breaker
Its 2024. I cannot stop watching Eric for atleast 8 years now. We never had Liquid Raving in Sydney. We had some great raves and clubs but we never had liquid raving.
Still some of the best liquid I've seen. Love that he's not afraid to break distance with his hands or move his feet, and mixes in tutting and shuffling effortlessly.
The fluidity of Eric's flow is just sick. I have yet to see anyone who can make the fluid transitions he does. Just the leg locks is just.....well SICK!
my brother raved during these times, hes 35 now and gave me all of his rave pants including the ones that had glow stick slots built in. i wear them to every rave i go to, and get respect from ever older person there lol
+Dominic Pryor Nice xD It's such a weird phase you go through as a teen. I lvoe the shuffle. Haven't done it properly for years though sadly and I'm starting to question what to do with my phatties
2022. I check it out at least once every few months. Constant inspiration. This is LPE at his absolute finest - he actually ended up losing some of the smoothness in order to attain some level of "clean" liquid, which actually made his style worse.
alway in to phat bottom - was a sk8 thing - then rave thing. . . but then it got waaaaay out of hand. some looked like skirts. 46" - 50" was just ridiculous.
i can still dance like this when I am on X, but people at the club look at you weird now because no one dances like that anymore. They all just bonce and have one fist in the air, but I still do this and I don't care what people think. Usually everyone moves away from me at the club I am at.
Here people danced at house/jungle/bug beat night clubs nights like they did at raves. At DNB/Jungle nights people still dance like they did in the late 90's/early 2000 but yes lots of standing in on spot and rock concert hand in the air stuff.
Although I don't go out to clubs much a couple years ago I went to couple nights and danced my ass off, one was a Psy Tance night, one was techno. I got more wtf looks at the Psy one than at the Techno one where people started to watch me lol.
The 90's were the best moments of experimental, total dance. This guy captured, and perfected the true underground shuffle in its entirety. I wonder where he's at today. BRAVO.....BRAVO good sir.
He's me. I'm just finding out this video lives. I remember the random guy filming me, only talked to him for like 30 seconds. My Wife found this video of me a few months back. Ty for the admiration
I keep saying I need to make a video of myself dancing this old school way. Holy crap but i'm 44 now and it's getting harder. Gotta document this style. I love watching this video. It makes me think of the old days. I live in a town that doesn't have a scene AT.ALL!! Thank you for posting this and bringing back so many good memories!!
Watching this in September 2023 still inspiring he can still go in the club and have a crowd around him. The foot work alone is so tight and effortless
What's awesome here besides the moves, is how you get the feeling of being in a mid to late 90's club scene and the feel of some of the night clubs or after hours.
I remember seeing this vid somewhere in the end of the 90's awestruck and still am. And I miss the little illegal parties with acid-trance and progressive techno tracks like you hear here.
This is one of those feel good videos...his movements, the setting, the random arcade, the muffled song... I picture this taking place in some back alley basement somewhere. Super rad and wish I were there. :)
I hope E knows how much he has inspired dancers and clubbers all around the world, for quite a few years now with these videos and other Liquid Pop Collective videos, man I've been watching these videos for 20 years + and still there is no match to be found for fluid, rythmic, transitions. These videos inspired how I dance ro this day. Legendary my fren, legendary. ❤
LP Eric got me into learning how to liquid dance and JRock got me into learning funk styles! The memories that come flooding back while I watch this clip though! I wish those times never ended!!
You and this video were instrumental in igniting my love of Liquid and the flow. I found this on the TorontoRaves forum in 2000 and never looked back. Thanks for the inspiration. : )

@@jennymiller8427 this is me in the video. Idk who you are or what you're talking about. Idk the Eric who claimed it. I wasn't aware of him passing. I actually don't believe you that he did. Because he was commenting on my posts after you said he passed. So you have your information mixed up
@@ChristopherEricChester I don't want to upset you or anyone else so I can tell you that the Eric you're speaking of is alive and well I'm sure & apologize for any upset. It's just been lil upsetting as it's been less than 2 yrs since my loss and this clip was sent thru the family, I guess I could be wrong. Do you know where this was?
@@jennymiller8427 this video was taken of me dancing at a party called "northern lights 3" with DJ icey as the headliner. In Atlanta as a place I knew as Loretta's dance hall, a place that was rented out for all night raves.
Hes truly rolls liquid like a bafass Yeah the late 90's were the greatest! How much I really miss those I'm young and fun the never gonna grow old and die days. Suxx!!
Wow, I haven't seen this video in a long time. This dude inspired me back in the day and learned quite a bit from his style. Late 90's were my golden rave days.
perfect time, perfect place, perfect dancing and perfect music (especially the Direct Motion track) every single thing about this video IS the late 90s rave scene....
Caught this vid off Kazaa p2p back in the day. I had just started to teach myself liquid and inherited a lot of moves from this guy. Love it. Seems all the kids know these days is how to stomp moon walk.....err shuffle.
great job dude , and thanks from all of us, you dont know how much that means to people tracking down a song they've been dying for. once again, thank you.
My buddy showed me this video in like 2002 and I thought it was the coolest shit I’d ever seen in my life. Liquid is my favorite kind of dancing and no one is better to me than LPE. Much much Respect.
This totally brings flashbacks to my old raving days.. Driving around waiting to get the phone call telling us the address of the warehouse where the raves happening that night... And then getting there and finding out your favorite DJ is spinning tonight. Dancing the night away, and then finding out who's throwing the afterparty... Oh to be young again...
As someone who was doing this type of stuff from the early 90's, I have to agree with whoever did the write-up on wiki, cause at 13yrs old I was popping & by my early 20's I was combining that knowledge with slutty funk moves inspired from the funk/groove nights at The Lounge & the now notorious melbourne shuffle...

It's a little light bulb attached to round black plastic piece that has a button that when you hold it down it lights up, that has a key ring loop on the other end and you keep it on your finger the whole time you're dancing and just press the button when you want it to light up.
Bloody hell, I can remember finding these video's when I was a teenager. Safe to say I tried and failed to replicate this (we all go through phases, my shit version of the robot/popping/liquid popping was definitely one I wish I could forget lol) dude is very talented and makes this look amazing.
The Jason thanx for posting that last comment. I was wondering what track Eric was dancing to, and I've been checking out this video ever so often for the last cpl years. Because its so fuckin dope! But thnx for that track info!
thats LPeric. pretty sure the first two clips are from the upstairs loft at Space/Motion and the last clip is from Shampoo. All were/are in Philly. the LPC was part of Reflective Multimedia out of philly. and they were always around back then - aka the good ol' days.
Holy shit this video still exist I remember seeing this clip long ass time ago I can't remember when I found I know at the time I got into breaking and popping in my teens and I remember seeing this clip this dude blew my mind at the time damn I'm getting old I miss them old days lol UFO pants had everything baggy and the hats with the curve brim now you got to have flat lol oo shit miss them days now mother fuckers be wearing colorful skinny jeans wtf

Shuffling dancers in 2023 have no idea.... so glad we got a glimpse of Eric from the old school days
I mean shuffling is still decent but it’s boring af without the upper body movement. There are some decent dancers out there that I can appreciate, but the “no upper body” is a deal breaker
This never gets old. Dude would still have a crowd around him today dancing like this.

So glad I found this. I remember watching this when I was 15. I’m 34 now ❤
Still some of the best liquid I've seen. Love that he's not afraid to break distance with his hands or move his feet, and mixes in tutting and shuffling effortlessly.
It's all on the feel. You have to feel it to do it
2023 almost over: this is still an absolute gem to see
omg... i used to be obsessed with this 20 years ago!!
He’s so good this just never gets old.
If I could move like that now without the drugs I'd be in good shape lol
The fluidity of Eric's flow is just sick. I have yet to see anyone who can make the fluid transitions he does. Just the leg locks is just.....well SICK!
😊 humbled... Thanks
We all getting old too soon. Miss those days :'(
I totally miss them too

Get them bronzed
Who's still checking this out in 2020? I'd love to see this style make a comeback at festivals. Remember this so well from 90s raves.
This is my main style dancing I've been doing it for about 10 and a half years ❤

2022 my brother !
hoping watch it also in 2023 coming soon... regards guys.
Watching this sober I'm in awe. Watching this rolling I'd be mesmerized.
Knock a few Mitsubishi Turbos and this would be even better than it is sober!
Still checking out in 2023
God, I remember seeing this YEARS ago. Glad to know it's still popular. I liquid pop to this day!
Keep it alive, people!
our pants were everything back then lol
Faith Walker never let the tradition die

exet People still dance like that at raves. People never danced like that at clubs though, only raves.
+exet Do your thing, i still like it
Still handle the dance floor the way you do. Other groovers will come. Groovertational force. Even tho we are few, we seek each other out.

Total Eclipse - Direct Motion
thejason51873 thank you so much. The search is complete.
This song is my life today!! The 7 minute version ❤🥰😍🤗
Exactly 20 Years Ago , March 13, 2019
Bazinga!!!!!@$!#$!@ Great video after all these years. THanks Eric and OP!
I got in to it in the mid 90s and this still reminds me of what the Seattle underground scene was like.
Wow it's been over 20 years and dude's still poppin' BIG UPS!!!
I keep saying I need to make a video of myself dancing this old school way. Holy crap but i'm 44 now and it's getting harder. Gotta document this style. I love watching this video. It makes me think of the old days. I live in a town that doesn't have a scene AT.ALL!! Thank you for posting this and bringing back so many good memories!!
Age doesn't matter if you have a passion and can still execute it. So better film your dance so you have no regrets later ; ) Gl
I am 45 now and still have these.moves.
You can't shake it, it's just a feeling that you express in movement
It's all on tiktok now. I started documenting years ago. This video has been on here for how long??? I love it! Classic moves are timeless
i have seen this video all over youtube under diffrent names and no matter how old it gets this is the best i've ever seen but hey i'm young
Watching this in September 2023 still inspiring he can still go in the club and have a crowd around him. The foot work alone is so tight and effortless
Apart from the last video part. Minimal footwork and focus on rapid, imprecise hand work.
What's awesome here besides the moves, is how you get the feeling of being in a mid to late 90's club scene and the feel of some of the night clubs or after hours.

Thanks, this is me "liquid Eric"
I am not liquid "pop" Eric.
Just saying

Brings back memories... Came across this vid in 2001 or so... Spent many hours trying to learn from this dude.
This is that dude.
Glad I inspired you
I cannot believe this video is going to be almost 20 years. I still come to see it every now and then looking for inspiration.
I love this video$ I've been watching it for years every once in a while cycling back
This is one of those feel good videos...his movements, the setting, the random arcade, the muffled song...
I picture this taking place in some back alley basement somewhere.
Super rad and wish I were there. :)
I have to watch this like every 6 months ❤
Me too!
Every week for me man!
me too but it's also returning to see if anyone's ID'd the last song
I don't know how many times I've watched this vid!! Such a sic dancer!!! I would love to see him dance in person!
I'll be at resonance in Charleston

Damn fool, I am seriously amazed, this guy is SIK with it!!!
Thanks!!
Excited at the reception
2:38 "Are you feeling OK? Do you want a hug?"
Always loved hearing the girl say that. Damn I miss raves.
PLUR
I didn't hear that at all. What I heard was "Are you guys ok?" To which her friend responded, "I love this guy." Maybe I'm going deaf.

Was my inspiration
I saw this vid like 7 years ago and it's still the best liquiding I've ever seen!!!! Sick as hell! I hope he's still doing it!
cant believe its 10 years since this was filmed! its still class aswell
Dude was a huge inspiration to live life after a painful breakup in 2001.
Damn I miss this! Raving needs to come back! Eric is the GOAT!
No, thank YOU good sir. Truly amazing.
i remember dis mad long ago still 1 of my fav clips of all time
This totally brings flashbacks to my old raving days..
Driving around waiting to get the phone call telling us the address of the warehouse where the raves happening that night... And then getting there and finding out your favorite DJ is spinning tonight.
Dancing the night away, and then finding out who's throwing the afterparty...
Oh to be young again...
Saw this back in 2002.
Mind blown. Respect from Sweden.
Anyone know where Liquid Eric is now??
One of my liquid bros from back in the day!
Still watching this in 2020! Still sick to watch how someone can inbody music in such a manner!
NAME OF TRACK 3 WTF!! NO ONE KNOWS?!
As someone who was doing this type of stuff from the early 90's, I have to agree with whoever did the write-up on wiki, cause at 13yrs old I was popping & by my early 20's I was combining that knowledge with slutty funk moves inspired from the funk/groove nights at The Lounge & the now notorious melbourne shuffle...
At any rate, this guy deserves all the praise he's gettn
Pop da funk down - from Melbourne Australia.
Man I found it. Since downloading it on Kazaa- still amazing
3rd track?????
i wish i could have experienced this all when it was barely forming. I hate having to share all this with people who dont respect the music and the scenes origins/history.
This is what i think i look like when dancing on mdma.
He defies the laws of physics with his liquid. That is the gold standar for liquid popping. Damn!
lp eric is amazing! he definitely knows his stuff
This guy is the reason why I learned how to liquid... I miss the old days lol, but dnb is still sorta thriving.
40% of everyone I've seen at raves in my area can dance like this, and most of these I attended before anyone had heard of Eric.
people have been dancing like this since electric boogaloo in the 60's.
he's just one of the best there is and really gets the illusion going.
there's about a half dozen basic principles to this style of dance, once you understand those it's just practice, practice, practice and feedback from ppl at the club.
been watching for ages myself the liquid pop collective owns
After so many years, I still don´t get how he pulled out that light at 2:09..
Best use of a glow stick I've ever seen, guy must be a magician the way he pulls it out
It's a little light bulb attached to round black plastic piece that has a button that when you hold it down it lights up, that has a key ring loop on the other end and you keep it on your finger the whole time you're dancing and just press the button when you want it to light up.
Till this day this shit Fuking hipnotizes me
Miss the ild rave days man , never there will be another rave like back then .....
My all time favorite
Still never seen anyone else do that with the glow sticks. So sick
LEGEND
Bloody hell, I can remember finding these video's when I was a teenager. Safe to say I tried and failed to replicate this (we all go through phases, my shit version of the robot/popping/liquid popping was definitely one I wish I could forget lol) dude is very talented and makes this look amazing.
