Thank you. After this gig "underground" went bigtime and "rave" was born at least in LA.

What a party this was! And in LONG BEACH! 808 State rocked it proper....and when we thought they had played there last song...what's this?..Bjork comes on stage and does OOPS with them. Place went crazy. Steve Koolaid was my favorite DJ my first year in the scene. Feb '91 Like Pedro said on another post, he laid down an awesome vibe and played killer tracks but his mixing wasn't the greatest. Another reason I liked him so much was that he would let me carry his records in and I didnt have to pay...lol He threw some of the best parties in Southern California.....Mickey's Holy Water Adventure...Apocalypse...a bunch more I cant remember(most of them at the Casa)..lol Much respect to Steve Koolaid.

Josh - 15:25 Side B is a remix of Make Some Noise by Virtual Reality, seeing how old your original post on this was, you probably know this already, but if not...

@Jason Huddleston... I know exactly what you mean. My first party was Eve of Love in some shabby little warehouse in DT LA in Feb of 91. Interesting, I met one of my best friends at my first party (we're still friends to this day even though we live in different states). We left Eve to go to Willy Wonka's. That was an epic event for my first "night out" and they had smashed a hole in the brick wall of this warehouse and had a slide where you could go from the main room into the disco room (yes, back then they didn't have chill rooms, they have 70's disco rooms with dayglo paint, etc.)

I own an original copy of this Milky Way tape. My copy has the exact same album art featured on one side with Mr. Kool-Aid, but the opposite side says "DESTRUCTO". Is this recording all Mr. Kool-Aid on both sides, or is the B-Side actually Desctructo? Anyone know? I was at this Rave, but it was so long ago that I can't recall. Thanks.

Interesting Ronski. I'm pretty sure it's all Steve Kool Aid from the record selection and the mixing style. I was there too! Destructo and Steve are still around. Maybe somebody that knows them could have them answer the question. Just an absolutely epic party!!!

Hans! Dude, I'm pretty sure I met you one time in '92 at a Flammable Liquid Party. We were chilling with our friends having a really cool conversation about the scene and the music. I remember having this conversation because in the first place ..it was inspiring and I could tell that you were very passionate about the music. I'd seen you at other parties before that and other parties after that, and I could tell you were there cause you loved it as much as I did. I also remember this conversation because after this party my buddy Chris and I scored the best waves of our lives in Newport Beach!!! It was 4 to 6ft and just perfect. I still dream about those barrels to this day haaha!!! So much good music then so much good waves...just might have been the best day of my life! lol Just a memory that's been kicking around in my brain for a couple decades...thought I'd share. Take care bro.

I will always remember this event. First time I heard Frankie Knuckles “Whistle Song”
I specifically remember how it impressed the crowd because some of us started whistling the chorus as we where exiting the doors when the event ended. Good times! Thanks Mr. KoolAid.
(My first event by Mr. KoolAid was “Marsha Bradys Bedroom” in downtown L.A. May 19, 1990. First time I heard 808 States “Pacific”.)
