Rare live footage from 90s Hardcore Techno parties

Before the rise of smartphones and cheap camera recorders for everyone, it was not usual that videos of hardcore techno raves were made. Sure, the "big organisations" released a "live" vhs now and then - but these usually featured videos from the parties, with the audio removed and replaced by a random track of a CD! I never understood that concept. Would you like to watch a "live performance" by a rock band, but without  audio, and instead you hear one of their songs from a CD, and not even the one they perform?
Doesn't make sense.
Anyway, real, actual recordings from 90s Hardcore Raves, together with the true sound of that party are rare.
And we think the live sound is the most important thing. It shows the true vibe and power of the party, and how brutal, frantic and energetic these parties really were.

So here is some actual live footage from genuine hardcore techno raves of the 90s.
Sound (and video) quality varies between clips, so take care should you listen to them on loud headphones.
These clips have been taken from various sources; if you are one of the original recorders, and object that your clip is here, let us know, and we will remove it.

Woof!
