Do you love your Oldskool Hardcore and Drum & Bass Jungle classics, but are fed up of going to events only to hear each DJ play the same tunes in every set? If so then Retroactive could be what you are looking for! At a Retroactive night each DJ will be playing a set covering a different era. All of our DJs will be digging deep in their record boxes for the real classics of yesteryear. From the best Oldskool Warehouse classics of 89-91 to the Hardcore of 91-94 and Jungle Drum & Bass of 93-95 Retroactive will take you on a real journey through the ages of rave.
Instead of playing the same old records - our DJs will be pushing the true uplifting sounds from back in the day with a few of your favourite anthems thrown in for good measure and even the odd nu skool record to mix things up! Our DJ's play music to uplift you and not there on a self-indulgence trip! So if you like your oldskool with an authentic flavour, read on!
Retroactive was the concept of Adam and Will who met at an Amnesia House event a few years ago. Will was wearing a white boiler suit and Ad was wearing a cardigan and sensible shoes, it had to be the start of something! Both wanted to organise an event which stepped slightly away from the tried and tested formula of recent years, so they decided to team up as they had similar ideas in what they wanted from an event. Both were fed up of going out and hearing the same music all night and decided to do a night in which the DJ's will bring the crowd all the great tunes from back in the day which don't get the coverage they deserve and are just as capable as rocking the crowd as the same old anthems!
Retroactive was started in early 2007 by Ad and Will who had always wanted to do their own Oldskool night due to being sick of going to events and hearing the same music in every set.The 1st event took place in a basement club in Luton on Sat 3rd February 2007 which later saw them move onto The Well Music Venue in Luton for 3 events. Then relocating to Bedford when this venue abruptly shut down with no prior warning. Slowly building up a following in the local area using the best local DJ's and guests from back in the day.
They have reached into their 2nd year of doing regular events in both Luton and Bedford featuring guests such as Glenn Aston, DJ Snypa, Hardcore Massive, DJ Skie amongst others and even more special guests lined up for this year.
Taking you back to the good old days of 90-95. For those of you who used reach Equinox @ Milwaukees on the A6, The Ministry and Riviera Lights in Bedford, The Grid in Luton, ESP and Psychosis in Northampton as well as all the big raves such as Dreamscape and Helter Skelter at the Sanctuary in Milton Keynes - and not forgetting all those wicked outdoor raves from the oldskool era such as Universe, Fantazia, Perception etc. If you remember any of these places then why not come down. If you weren't there, come down and get yourself acquainted with the original oldskool vibe! We take it back to the original raving ethos - wear what you want, dance how you like, be yourself and have a good time!
At Retroactive you will get a true taste of the music from that era rather than the same old cheesy rubbish people try to pass off as "Oldskool". Come and experience the real deal in a safe, fun and friendly atmosphere just how it was!
