Seb, you know perfectly well what the problem is, and it's always been the same problem! People never have 5 euros to donate, but they have 80 euros for a gram of coke, and these are facts that we still observe, and that I observed again in 2015 during my very last party.11:00
I was at Castle morton when you lot played , fooking awesome it was . I woke up in a field with thousands of people dancing around me , I didn't even have to walk to the dance floor lmao .
Went to Exodus parties back in the early 90s and they often had expected donations in the early days. Was more than happy with that approach and trusted them to create a safe environment and a great party!
@TheBaronVonBoom I remember my 1st Exodus party, was a xmas eve on on the industrial estate, I remember this big dude throwing two guys out n sayin 'That's what you get for smokin crack!' & someone else on the door following up with 'yea you're down with the babylon!' We'd spent all our money on getting there there from Oxford, & some on supplies, obviously, but yea they just let us in.
I used to go to sprial tribe party's back in the day, there's nothing to beat dancing in a field with the sun coming up at dawn, thanks for the memories you beautiful people xx
Yes seb good to see you havnt changed !i remember your first ever live set at bridge house 92 it sounded awsome ,never forgot the sound of the jd800 .so glad your still doing it mate.if you see this give my regards to simon and be lucky .IN THE AREA .From Huggie Persons Unknown
I feel the same about demonstrations, social movements and stuff like that. People are there for the event but the ones who get caught, they're on their own most of the time. It always comes back to individualism as in something that's kinda imposed on us. We are so used to thinking about our little bubble only and not organizing beyond that, even if it hurts us in the long run. We're left with little energy for doing otherwise.
I agree on everything! Teknival changed me, and without hanging around with people from the community, somehow I developed the same set of principles as Sebastian. It is good that one off the first crews came out with this money for free problem, I hope there will be a consens on this subject. All my respect to the people involved in free party scene! See you soon!
Congratulations for this super interview, I have a vision of life very similar to him, but thank you Sebastian for reconnecting us with the naturalness of things, wise words, good chap👌
I like his viewpoint, an expected donation of a fiver would go a long way toward covering the costs and it still keeps it true to the spirit, and keeps it alternative. Festivals used to be alternative events and what is it now? £200-400 tickets, which immediately excludes a lot of people.
My thoughts exactly, it’s not a lot but if you can’t part with a fiver to cover all the insane effort it takes to put on an event then you shouldn’t be a part of it anyway. I have been to a Stinky Pink event in London that charged a fiver and it was excellent, no issues whatsoever and everyone had a good time, I’d have paid £10!
Had the pleasure of meeting "Frank" circa 1998..didnt know anything other than he was with ST. Seemed to be in his mid 60's at the time, he was traveling the US in a school bus with a bunch of hippies throwing partys. He looooved his reefer lol and on rare occasion I would catch him on the 1's & 2's grinding out something smooth. Ahh those days seemed just like yesterday..the sounds the smells.
brilliant interview..really enjoyed listening..liked and subscribed nothings really free ..someone has to pay...im happy to contribute to the cost of putting on a party...tho not been to one for 20 years ...didnt know they were still happening
Hey I'm so sorry about my mean spirited comment earlier, it has no place in this discourse. I just wanted to say thank you so much for documenting and uploading these incredible videos. Much love
There's a red headed guy called Andy. Who supposedly was in the Army who's been in my town where I live for a little while. Reckons he was a big part of spiral tribe. Dunno. Takecare. Bless.
I know people who are now in Portugal and others who have started to focus on astroarchaeology (the importance of the stars in ancient history and the world of today)
I do think Castlemorton was the nail in the coffin though, it could have carried on much longer - but it was way too big. the establishment realised being heavy handed never really worked, so they let it happen and the media did the rest, with a ridiculous amount of coverage. Then with enough outrage, it led directly to the passing of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act and millions pumped into the police and draconian surveillance. i was at castlemorton and the amount of punters was off the scale - crapping wherever and dropping trash, everyone can't join the party - because they are clueless and thats what shuts it down, evertytime.
Awesome interview! I'm still wondering how the f did you get the jet to Europe 😂. My first experience was Hostomice 95 Czech Republic then every year until 2005. My heart will always be in tekno scene. ❤ I do agree with donations as I know people that went bankrupt because they tried to give people free party.
well ... Shamae from Mis Wales... Nice one geez ... agree with all ov this ... we're FRU ... now doin discordia fest ... come along n av fun xxx can't afford to av our system stolen by them anymore ❤❤❤ Love ya ... xxx
so the sound system should be the dealers, well thats very clever :/ And what if they DONT want to sell drugs? Than all the money goes to dealers and the ppl who actually make the party and everything, get SHIT! And thats how it is now. So take you head out of your ass pls
The thing is, some people want to provide music, not drugs. How do the providers pay for fuel, the system, food, and all the other necessities of life they need while providing the party? If there are no donations? Sell drugs? A lot have chosen that route and spent time in jail for picking that route.
memory lane the good old days...this posse rockt and we got fçkt... these days, these kids... we will lose us all kind a wars... pussies, we smelled like hell but had a blast and a few lived to tell
Remember when the travellers could have a gathering without any trouble, for instance Roundway Hill in Wiltshire, one gig by spiral tribe killed it anyone Remember
Nah mate , I tried to get to Stonehemge in 1985 To say that Spiral Tribe upset the free festival scene is not really acknowledging the very many issues that existed previous to their involvement.
Big electrical storm at castle Morton / letchlade - flares directed at flying police - ravers , real ravers who wanted to actually be there for the right reasons , underground music ; no trouble
Money is just the current thing we trade - it doesn’t mean that by needing it to exist within this awful system that you’re a sellout. Free Parties should move towards a socialist practice; “everyone suffers a little so no one suffers a lot” ✌🏻 Big up SP23
Nowt so tight as a trustafarian is ze problem, "daddy told me not share my money with the scots!" (heard from an english university student at a free party circa 1991 with a fair amount of spirals present) Free partyscene unfortunately full of young uns who are "just playing at this culture for a while" different days, diffent years etc .
Spiral tribe were a strange bunch and we're not really liked by the majority of the scene. Infiltration and undercover cops were always mentioned I remember. I also remember a baphomet standard at castle morton. They had nothing to do with castle Morton it was the traveling convoy who they were not part of . funny how they tried take the acclaim really
@@free4313 I met a few of them. Remember alot of people called themselves spiral tribe. The baphomet sign at castle Morton I actually remember but at the time didn't realise what is was.

One in Scotland an d another in Amsterdam. They were not liked much at the time by the families ECT as they didn't respect anyone wanting it turned off after a week or so. Circus normal and bedlam were the main energy at Morton. Especially circus normal they were all hardcover travelling folk. I played a set with them for about 12 hours. I think they are nearly all dead a long time ago now. Life in the fast lane or more likely I think the slow lane if you know what I mean.
@@steve-xx6or I appreciate your side of the story. I think that for every situation there are different perspectives. I didn't live those years in first person so I can only have ideas of what others who did live the first free parties tell me today. Thanks for sharing yours.

Saw SPIRAL TRIBE at the first alternative SIONEHENGE/FREE PARTY ,back in 1991. Talk about 2 worlds collide, my life was never the same.
Salute from RenegadeVirus soundsystem NYC. When you guys came to nyc in 96 it changed our lives ! ❤
Hitting the nail on the head. Absolutely agree on all points ❤

The "authorities" wanted a controlled environment, hence back to the clubs . We now live in 1984
Was Peter stringfellow the leader of spiral tribe for long?
Remember when the travellers could have a gathering without any trouble, for instance Roundway Hill in Wiltshire, one gig by spiral tribe killed it anyone Remember
Nah mate , I tried to get to Stonehemge in 1985

@bobjary9382 yeah ain't blaming tribe or anyone think it got to big, crazy days, loved it, just miss it
