Going to local DnB raves in the early 2000's was one of my favourite eras during my lifetime so far, oh how I miss those days.
The dark, hard and moody sub-genres are the ones I come back to the most over the years.
Edit: Forgot to post a quick story.
Back around 2007, I was at an illegal rave being held by some friends at a location called The Bawsey Sandpits, which is just sand, tress and a tiny lake in the middle of absolutely nowhere in Norfolk, England. I really do mean it's just nothing in the middle of nowhere.
Anyway, after dancing by the speakers for a while and watching some hippy handing out bags full of pills to people, tookmy interest in sound systems and decided to go and speak to the DJ and check out the equipment they were using. He was bald, looking down while mixing but very friendly and willing to chat, he also looked incredibly familiar.
It was once he looked up after sorting out the next track that I had a real "No fucking way" moment; it was Right Said Fred DJing the illegal rave, hard Dnb like above, in a dirt pit. What a night that was.
