/in /by

This is the first installment of our series cataloging the best rave anthems over the decades.

Let’s take a trip down nostalgia lane… all the way back to the ancient days of the 1990s when the rave scene was still underground. The 1990s proved to be a seminal time in rave culture, where the heavily gelled and spiked hair of the ravers started to peak out from underground and be seen in the mainstream. A time when JNCO jeans and butterfly hair clips reigned supreme. You had to know someone who knew someone to find out the location. Rave tracks from the 90s bring up a lot of emotion with not just the ravers from that era, but almost anyone who grew up listening to electronic music. So what are the best rave tracks from the 1990s? Let’s dig in.

Orbital splits up after 25 years

The Legendary UK duo, Orbital, has announced their split earlier today calling it quits after 25 years as confirmed on their website detailed by Paul Hartnoll.

“We’ve had our ups and downs, and it’s not always been easy, but I’ve loved my time with Orbital. It’s been brilliant that we’ve been able to take our music to so many places, from local clubs to headlining Glastonbury to playing massive events across America, Australia, Japan
 It’s been fantastic.

It was particularly nice to get such a lovely reception when we got back together a few years ago. We made the Wonkyalbum specifically to play live and these shows over the past few years have been a real high point in many ways. The shows and the audiences have been amazing.

Paul Hartnoll went on and discussed that he will be doing solo productions which will be a continuation of his work with some vitality and fresh approach to it. His upcoming album, 8:58, is already being ironed out and is set to reveal in early 2015. Phil, meanwhile, says he’ll focus on his DJing career and looks forward to playing a mixture of his own exclusive Orbital remixes mixed with some great new dance-floor tracks.
