Description

Rave New World presents ACID HOUSE STORTELLING with KIRK FIELD + original SHOOM resident STEVE PROCTOR + COBALT STARGAZER (ex Zodiac Mindwarp + The Love Reaction).



The politics of dancing and a humour-laced hedonistic history from rave scene raconteur and author Kirk Field whose one man show takes his audience on a strobe down memory lane to a revolutionary era of illegal parties, hysterical headlines and altered states.



As Mixmag?s ?raving reporter? he rode the shockwave as rave exploded across the planet, crossing paths with Brigitte Neilson, Boris Yeltsin, Timothy Leary, Diego Maradona, Dave Courtney, the CIA, Genesis P. Orridge, Saddam Hussein?s missus, the KGB, ?Norman Lamont?s dominatrix?, The President of Tunisia, Lemmy, Griff Rhys Jones and Pan.



Discover the true identity of DJ Roofrack, play a round of ?Have I Got Acid House News for You?? and ?Rave Family Fortunes? and sing-along to Mis-heard Dance Anthem lyrics.



A one-man megamix of HUMOUR, HISTORY and HEDONISM:



From dancing in an airfield in Suffolk to staring down the barrel of a gangster?s gun in Soviet-era Moscow. From selling cartons of Ribena for £1 to losing £150,000 on a rave in a Spanish bullring. From playing with The Prodigy in a Sports Hall in Cambridge, to waiting for a chauffeur to ?Top of The Pops?. This is the story of adventure and discovery as a generation rushed towards the gurn of the millennium?



DJ before-and-after STEVE PROCTOR is acknowledged as one of the small group of DJs who are recognised as being responsible for the explosion of Acid House and Dance Music across Europe, and also as one of the original creators and producers in this country. A resident at the seminal SHOOM club, Steve also headlined the first headline-making orbital raves for SUNRISE and is currently enjoying a renaissance as retrospective rave royalty. Esxpect leftfield balearica, some forgotten gems and an electrifying aural coming together with an axe hero?



Special Guest COBALT STARGAZER guitarist from ZODIAC MINDWARP + THE LOVE REACTION, legendary axeman, icon and gun-for-hire providing licks and riffs between the beats, reprising the famous Milk Bar ?where rock meets dance? happening of 1991.

Description

The Dublin Castle is a legendary pub and music venue located 2 minutes away from Camden Town tube station. It has been run by the same family for over 28 years and features 4 live bands every night as well as a great selection of beers, ciders and wines.

There are DJs after the bands on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and a fabulous jukebox in the front bar if you’re after a more relaxed atmosphere.

But what is it that makes the Dublin Castle the long-standing centre of the indie rock universe? Is it because it’s Madness’ birthplace? Because its stage has been graced by everyone from Blur, through Coldplay, Supergrass, The Killers, The Arctic Monkeys, Billy Bragg, etc? Is it because it was no surprise to see Amy Winehouse behind the bar serving costumers? Or Suggs? (who, mind you, tended to ignore costumers and serve himself) Or is it because far from being just another Camden venue it has established itself as an indie rock institution? The answer is that it’s not only because of its musical heritage that people come to the Dublin Castle, it’s because whilst you enjoy a pint, play some tunes on the jukebox, check out the live bands, get your dancing shoes on for our DJs, chat to our friendly staff or even stage-invade a little, you’re inadvertently being part of this movement the Dublin Castle leads, this cultural legacy. Expect no castle battlements. Just pure rock and roll royalty.
