Dr. Trance radio interview on the toronto rave scene

I thought some ppl on here might be interested in checking out the Don Berns (Dr. Trance) interview I recorded. From being around parties for many years I've always appreciated what he did to promote and share the music he loved the most.. and especially now that he's in retirement I hoped to have him hit the mic and talk about those early rave days...

what I got was alot more then I expected.... 45 mins of him talking about what got him into raves, trance and everything...

hope this doesn't come off as spam, I just wanted to share what i thought was a really good interview

Heard this yesterday - agreed - very worth the listen! I wish I had attended some of those early parties but I suppose things happen for a reason.

...that talk of the CN Tower rave in 92 or 93 brought back memories - back then my programming/Comp Sci partner in High School was into raves but was pretty hush-hush about it and would never tell me much when I tried to get info. Oddly enough, I recently found out a while ago he's been producing DnB tracks since around that time and is known around the scene as Visionary. Small fucking world! Anyways, Marcus is spinning Saturday at D666 - I hope Dave Whalen makes an appearance too so I can say hi.

wow you went to school with Marcus ? geez.. talk about coming a long way.. apparently John told me that he juss started some label in the UK and worked on a few productions with Ryan (Ruckus), etc. it's funny when you look back at the pioneers of the scene and see where they are now today. never know what the future holds..

good interview. he sounds like John Derhinger who used to be on Q107

Great interview. It was very educational.

I've always wanted to experience a warehouse rave or parties in other weird locations like airport hangers, etc. It totally does make a party a thousand times more exciting then at the same club over and over. Parties like The CN Tower rave sound fucking legendary.

it was an era when promoters had more room to express their creativity and the city was in a golden age of open mindedness and forward thinking..

no reason why we can't revive it, in the end it's really up to all of us isn't it?
