""... Rave Culture that was birthed in the U.K. in 1988/1989 spread across Europe and The United States like wildfire in the early 1990's.
What fueled the UK scene came from American Dance Music. It was totally based on music coming out of Chicago, Detroit & New York City. When I arrived to the U.K. to DJ in 1989, American DJ's did not play shows there.
I got lucky due to a bunch of records I made called "Bonesbreaks". They were popular in their scene and their scene is what the blueprint of rave was. It wasn't supposed to happen in the United States.
I was a regular on the U.K. circuit. When it reached Scotland, Streetrave was the largest event and after playing for Ricky Magowan several times, I asked him if I could use their imprint for the U.S. upstart.
But it wasn't until my first tour of Los Angeles which proved "raving" was going to explode in America. UK DJ's were starting to play out in California and I learned how they broke into warehouses and used that concept to create STORMrave.
We had to export the U.K. scene back into America and the rave mantra PLUR started off as the mantra for why we were doing STORMrave in the first place.
Keep in mind that the music already had star producers making tracks in NYC. There wasn't a scene to go along with that in NYC. Club owners wouldn't let more then one DJ play per night but we changed that.
We wrote the blueprint. And as it began, The American scene played mostly British music in 1991.
Most of the music as single tracks don't hold weight on their own. But when mixed in a DJ set, the magic comes back right away. That is what you hear, here..."
