- The Edge - Hardcore to Jungle.
October 1992, The Eclipse was gone, The Edge was here.
A cutting edge hardcore club, and everything was being recorded. The tapes were legendary and influencing music worldwide.
Dreamscape, Amnesia House, Fibre Optic, Quest and Dance Planet staged massive events at The Edge.
The 1st all-night jungle event outside of London was staged at The Edge by Jungle Fever.
But the crowd had changed, the drugs had changed, and worldwide culture was again changed forever, and Coventry was at the centre of it all.
The Edge, where hardcore mutated and morphed into jungle/drum & bass.
A Daylight Robbery Production.

Loved this place as the Eclipse was my 3rd home! 🔥🔥🔥🔥had some best nights of my life it was 1000% about the music.. the eclipse floors used to bounce too! The Edge was good at times too but missed the rawness & pioneering Eclipse (1st home was my actual home, 2nd was the Brunel Rooms Swindon) :) I always was and still are an original jungle-techno head!
Growing up as a teenager in the early 90s was all about the hardcore bludddclut jungle techno 👌 Best era of my life. Dreamscape Psychosis Desire Fantazia Evolution Warning 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ECLIPSE IN MY ❤FOR EVER RIP JASON KAYE (TOP BUZZ)
TOP BUZZ LEDGENDS ❤❤
THAT BOUNCY FLOOR!!!
And MC Lenni! 😁😁
And girls wee'ing in the sinks in the men's toilets while lads queued up next to them! With sweat pouring off the doorframes onto your heads.
These videos are fantastic guys, brings back some real memories. I used to live in Coventry and grew up going to the Eclipse, always started the night off at the three tuns beforehand. For me the early times at the Eclipse were the best before the dance music split into different genres. We had many good nights at the Edge too, but the music started getting quite dark and the friendly atmosphere of the Eclipse was disappearing. For me, that was when the happy hardcore scene kicked off and brought back the original happy vibe. Clubs like the Diehard in Leicester were amazing. The big events like Dreamscape, Helter Skelter would be running 2 main arenas to cater for the Jungle and Happy Hardcore crowd, good times.
Totally agree mate , I lived in Leicester at the time came to eclipse about 3 times, best club I ever went to, used to go rage, total kaos, diehard, sanctuary, milwaukees, institute, but the scene went dark and moody end of 94, stopped going
Eclipse was best ever
Lived in Cov from 1988 to 1992, Eclipse / edge was mental
I didn't like what they did to the balcony area with the change, before it was a great place to dance, hang and mong out sprawled on the floor, talking bollocks to the same friendly people you saw most weeks. It felt soulless without the manky sofas.
I only went to Edge opening night and a few weeks later, my body said enough is enough.
My vivid memories of Edge opening night are
China Whites(man they were strong)
Ellis Dee track Rock to the max
The weird tv room on the ground floor
Big shout to anyone who remembers going to Soundhouse & Spinadisk
The opening night of the edge was , is and always will be my favourite night ever......
I was at the edge the second week it was half full I remember Carl cox and top buzz 🌈
The scene changed, like they say, but everywhere after 93, bang on with that, early days were the best
Great series of vids.
I loved the moodiness. Spent my teen years travelling on the train from Hinckley to Cov, hanging out at banging tunes, visiting Hillfields for a scary purchase. Also loved the Que Club in Brum, that also had that vibe where you never knew what might happen. Good days.
We had the same teens!
Went to club dreamscape at the edge 😊
Thankyou so much for these videos, brilliant insight. Takes me right back 🤪❤👍
Deffo felt the change me! Never seen one fight as the eclipse, but seen 3 when under the edge so stopped going!
Top night. December 93 and it was dark, really dark. Probs best night ever. Fat cat, fat bob and I think manzy may've been the other with me. Eeeeh! What a night.
First heard jungle in the what we called the jungle room at the eclipse. Basically the basement, small, dark, damp, perfect. That was 91 😎
i was there the first time Top Buzz ever played
I was there the last time they ever played. Last set of closing night....it was LOUD!
...it became the Edge of the Eclipse. A natural planetary transition which also signalled the change towards a harder coke based inflence and a tougher darker, at times, sinister sound.
I feel it was the beginning of the end when 'steaming', gunshots and a national death of a raver, closed the doors...🌙
Have a look at the whole season of radio docs and films @ www.reflectionmediaart.com 🕊
@@reflectionmedia8 Will do...Hardcore Generals 1 and 2 very informative. Great work !
Can I say that I really love these high quality videos. It is about time we put the Midlands back on the map. I know London is important for our scene, but when you read some of the histories, you would think the scene was only about London, which it wasn't for those that know. We need to decentralise the scene from London and put the Midlands back where it belongs. We had such an important role to play in the early days.
Amen the whole point of my work is for historical documentation purposes 🙏🏻
Those that know do know how important the Midlands was my friend. From a Londoner.
Yes yes yes we used to travel from Cambridge up to the midlands , home of jungle teckno for me the home of the scene .
Midlands was massively important to the development of the scene and sound. From a londoner
Yep, Northampton - Dreamscape, Leicester - Formation, Birmingham - Quest, all instrumental in the scene.
Spot on this crack fucked it end off .... Best rave documentary this lads spot on , puts Terry turbos film to shame respect
Was the impact that Coventry had on the rave scene even mentioned as part of the City of Culture 2021? Whilst 2 tone was born in Coventry and agree it should be celebrated, what Amnesia House and the Eclipse did for the rave scene was monumental. I will never forget watching the Hitman and Her on tv when they went to Energy, that was a moment of pure culture clash. It is funny that even today, i am only now finding out what some of the tracks are that were being played at the time. We always relied on rave tapes from Bang-in tunes for our music supply but you had no idea what the tracks were.
Yeah man, of course! There was a 2 week exhibition at the former ikea building, including a few immersive theatrical experiences with man parris, nev, bamboo, myself (dj euphoria on these docs) and loads of other cov characters involved in the scene
Over 3 weekends 5k people attended that’s what all the films were made for 😀
@@jaypayne6231 That is great to hear, living down under now, so a bit behind the times ;)
Not much changed. They just did it up a bit, but it was still the same club
If they hadn't changed the name, I doubt if most people would even remember it.
They shouldn't have changed the name.
I went to the Eclipse mostly, but still had some top nights in there when it was the Edge.
Some of the bv est nights of my life in the edge , loved that place , the soundsystem was immense....
Loving these videos bigtime !! Keep up the good work lads 👍🏼
It's a shame Nev thought in hindsight, looking back that they should of gone down a different route like sasha and carl cox. That surprises me, I would of thought he was happy that they stayed to the roots, stayed true to the hardcore and jungle scene. Yeah there was more money following the trance and techno side but for me I'm grateful they didn't. Because the edge, eclipse, Bang-in Tunes. Was Hardcore!
buzzin. nuff said
Great selection of runes as well lads on it
RIP TANGO, was mates with Jamie before he became a dj. son of gordon giltrapp from ELO❤ MISS YOU BROTHER✋❤🤚
Wicked documentary!! I'm in my late 30s so missed the early raves and these docs are great. WHAT IS THE TUNE PLAYING AT 16.50?? CHA! BOOM TUNE
Good E, great music and sound people were last came together in 1991 for me. I can’t stand the music after that year.
Hardcore 🌈
Let's be honest. By the end of 91, the music was trash . That's not to say some great music was being played in 92, but that feeling of early 91 was gone, the atmosphere was just different, and the music was the reason behind it. Went to the Eclipse many times and by the end saw to many fights and moody pills going about it had had its day. Big up the Eclipse massive one love.
This is the final film from this season www.reflectionmediaart.com has all the early ones about eclipse & how amnesia house began 🕊
You mad. It got better.
Like life music has to move on
Yeah it was moody at times but the likes of Tango, Bukem, Randall, Fabio really played timeless tunes that were pushing boundaries and are still classics today.
Music policy dictated the crowd and the above werent embraced enough. Bukem was doing this then, I was there, the forefront of dnb was available just not grabbed.

Yes I was there you didn’t no What music would be played 🌞
Tracklist?
Do you know why Coventry/south Birmingham was at the apex at this time ???
Because it was diverse multicultural and accepted the racist skinheads pf the 80s
Out of that came the twotone movement with alot of intregated cultural music the very racist very white football hooligan scene .the Zulu warriors of Birmingham City Football Club where the first fiirm of football holigans to intregrate black people .the eclipse again alot of cross multicultural influence.
Asking all this mess head Djs who cained it over the years and haven't had enough kip to recall scene specifics is never going to generate the most enlightening of response tbf 🤣
Weird thing is I can remember more about some nights out back then than I do about last week.
