The Rave Explosion III
######################
Name: The Rave Explosion, Part III
Where: Oktoberhallen-Wieze, Belgium
Date: Friday 22 October 1993

"Maybe you've read it somewhere, maybe you've heard it
from your friends, but we can tell you, it's true!
The Rave Explosion is back with an event everybody was
waiting for. This time we will be presenting an
unbelievable international line-up of live acts and
DJ's, a cristal-clear sound system, a fully animated
laser and video show, the most technically advanced
visual effects and the ultimate in decoration (a Voodoo
Illusion) created by Fred Coutsiers (El-Deco).
For those who want to cool off or have a little chat in
a cosy atmosphere, we will create a special chill-out
room with music played by the best ambient-wizardz from
the legadary R&S label.
We want that you, ravers from everywhere, also take part
in the creation of a magical atmosphere. Therefore, we
will provide you fun games,painting and clothing stalls,
gyroscopes, jumping castles and much more...
But don't forget to bring on the essential thing: YOUR
SMILE.
With a spirit of togheterness, harmony, infinite peace
and tranquility, we will transport you together trough
cosmic galaxies to your ultimate destiny! You're about
to discover a world of happiness, atmosphere and great
music. Youri & Gregory - 1993
THIS RAVE WILL EXPLODE YOU MIND. DON'T MISS IT!"

This part above is taken from the flyer from "The Rave
Explosion Part III". Pretty impresive eh?? So,
I decided to go there...

** The Dj's **
--------------
On the MAIN STAGE => Techno - Trance - Hardcore

** Jeff Mills ** (Axis, Detroit/USA)
-----------------------------------
One of the best Dj's I've ever seen!! He is really
amazing... I think there are no recordz he plays longer
than 1 minute, and he mixes all the 'one minute' parts
perfect.
He was also one of the best Dj's on MayDay IV.
(If you've been to Mayday 4, I think you already know
enough)
One of the top Dj's in the world of house if you ask me!

** Blake Baxter ** (UnderGround Resistance/Detroit-USA)
--------------------------------------------------------
Also a Dj's from Detroit, since there were some
technical problems when he was playing, some things went
wrong, but after a couple of minutes everyting was back
ok, (for a couple of minutes heheh)

** Laurent Garnier ** (Fnac Music / Paris)
----------------------------------------
He was the last Dj that played that evening and was
absolutly the favourity Dj.When he played his first song
(Melody - Beat your heart out) the crowd went totally
crazy, and I mean CRAZY !!
He played too more 'commercial stuff' if you compare it
with the songs that the other Dj's played. I mean no
'Usura' 'Dance 2 Trance' or '2 Unlimited'but songs like,
"Wake Up" and "Beat your heart out". Togheter with Jeff
Mills he was the favourite Dj of the evening.

* Yves De Ruyter *(Bonzai Recordz,Cherry Moon/Antwerpen)
--------------------------------------------------------
Not as good as he used to be if you ask me.
Since he had also a lots of technical problems many
things went wrong.

These where the Dj's I've heard, there where more Dj's
like
- Dano (Dreamteam - Amsterdam)
- Deg (BWP, Rave Explosion - Brussels)
and the Source Live (R&S Recordz - Sweden)
But I haven't heard them since I've arrived rather late,
and I've spent some time in the 'Chill-Out Room'

** The Chill Out Room **
------------------------
Nothing special to say about this..Maybe just one thing,
it was very cold there!! The music was good, the lights
where not so good since all the best stuff was in the
'Main Stage' Hall.

Maybe some details now.
- The service was good, but VERY expensive!
- They've had many technical problems during the evening,
especially problems with the music.
- And the sad thing about 'The Rave Explosion III' was,
that they closed the place at 05.00 Am, don't ask me
why ?! Normally 'The Rave Explosion III' was from
9.00 Pm until 08.00 Am, and then there was an after
party in 'The Cherry Moon' but at 04.50 they said that
they must close at 05.00 Am, and that there was an
after party somewhere else, (somewhere in Brussels,
sorry forgot the name)
- There were about 7000 or 8000 people
(not bad for a little country like Belgium, I think it
was the biggest rave ever held in Belgium)
- The presentation was also very good.

Ok, enough about that. In my opinion 'The Rave
Explosion III' was very good, one of the best parties
I've been to (togheter with "MayDay IV", "The Big
Cyberdelia Rave" and "1 Year Bonzai Party")
I should say 'Come To The Rave Explosion Part IV' !!

Conclusion
----------
A very good party with very nice music. One of the
Belgium biggest raves !!
My score for this one is "9/10"
