Nitrous
This was the first rave i ever went to, and oh what an experience your first rave Is. But this one was mad! Location was the Cherry Beach Sound Studios near Commissioner Street in Toronto's Industrial Area near the waterfront. This rave changed my life. Like so many peoples first rave. Nitrous 015 had originality. Giant 2 seater swings hung through the main hallway, maybe 5 or 6 of them all in a row facing eachother. The main stage was just a few steps away. The chillout room was priceless, a carpeted room with TV's playing strange video's like a Fire Place buring, the view of a plane flying, just chillout shit and people were just sitting there glued to the screens. Then there was the outside chillout zone where i spent alot of the night meeting up with friends who also were at a rave for the first time. I got a shitload of people to come with me. Originally heard about the party on Hard Drive 89.5 the week before. So glad i found that show. 1992 was full of changes for me. Anyways back to the outdoor chilloout zone...it was wicked. Just the surroundings blew me away. All these industrial piping and structures around the venue. So unreal. I remember everything from that night. The ride down in my friends VW Van. The experience at Union Station waiting for more info and the Shuttle Bus. That night was amazing. This is all i have left from that event. Its a piece of the map we got at Union Station the night of. The map part is gone and all i have left is an upcoming event listing. If anyone has the flyer for this event PLEASE post it here. Ive been searching so long. Attached image(s) |

Ah yes, The Swing Rave. I was outside at the hot dog cart talking with one of the pay duty cops that Nitrous hired that night when two guys walked out from behind one of the trucks that was parked in the lot.
"Hmmm...cash transaction," said the cop to me. "How do you feel about that," I asked him. "Well," he said, "as long as they're not doing it in front of me and nobody is getting hurt, I really don't care." The good old days indeed. P.S. I found out years later that one of the the two guys was Matt (Farmer Brown), who went on to form "Effective" with Dr. Trance. |
