Whats so Redicilous about the party? And what is amateur MCing? He got the crowd going & they played some real qulity tunes which is the main thing. I have listened to the whole set and it is much better than any set you will here at today's 'raves'

The immensity of the crowd is ridiculous! When I think that Hardcore parties over here in Montreal never attracted much more than a thousand people in the peak eras...
And the mcing is repetitive and not very interactive. Sounds like something anybody could just pick up the mic and do in a party, not the work of a professional master of ceremony in my opinion. I mean it sounds quite like what Re-Con was doing in between his singing parts on these HTID videos that showed up on youtube recently. The thing is Re-Con was there to sing, not to MC.

Its how the rave scene was in the UK at the time. I can't remember it as I was young then but back then it wasn't about who was the best MC or who could mix the best. It was about the tunes & thats what you hear in events like that. Forget about all this modern 'Hardcore' that youtube vid is exactly what a rave was. You can't go around calling it shit 16 years later when it was so big back then!

Wow, quality MCing! Didn't have a clue that Scott Brown used to MC. Awesome.

Mediocre MC'ing, sure, but I would do anything to be able to go back in time to that party T_T

Cracking vid. If you check a few links out it also has a quick interview with David Baddiel at the same rave, class. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4DWr1KtRVA&NR=1

To be fair he was a member of the band(s) and not brought in just to MC per say. That would be last on his agenda.
But all of the MC-ing then was pretty much along those lines. Ribbz was probably the best back then. Said very little. No one did really any of that listen-to-me rapping stuff (Ultimate Buzz very likely started that).
This was the biggest single-room indoor UK rave at SECC Glasgow, Scotland. And I believe the most expensive to host but I cannot find the newspaper article as it was long ago.
There was another one to be staged at SECC in 1995 but was cancelled at the last moment by SECC, which caused a lot of press. Was to be called "Irn-Bru Experience".
Re; Carl Cox. He's to play an exclusive one-off old skool set in Edinburgh this year. Would have to guess it would be safe dance classics rather than a typical Scottish/Fantazia set of his due to the room he is sharing it with. But who knows. See below for more.

That's because he's not proffesional, was never proffesional lol, nor were any MC's in Hardcore then i don't think. Who honestly gives a **** what he says if people like it, which they obviously did.

Hey you're totally right. I don't even really think Scott's mcing is that bad, just not exactly impressive when you think about the number of peoples listening to it! Like I said at first he's probably not up there for his mc'ing skills rather than his role in making the music that's playing, which is totally fine.
From what I understand here most mc's back then used not to go further than this in their choice of dialogs with the crowd? I think it's a good thing that the skills and styles of mcing in Hardcore evolved and diversified ever since those times then.
