Wrecking Ball / Peak Time Power Prog - Best Example Needed
zackster Frankie Bones
One of my earlier rave memories was Bones hammering this and bringing the absolute house down. I must’ve been like 14 years old. Good times.

jonattonyeah oddly enough, the first party I ever attended was Frankie Bones and Dj Venom. They played a rave in an old laser tag venue not far from my house. Completely blew my mind.
One of the biggest reasons why I will always respect Frankie Bones. Dude would play anywhere. So many DJs thought they were too good for the rave scene, dingy warehouses, or playing to us kids. Bones was never like that. Him, DJ Dan, your man Josh Wink….without them I wouldn’t be into this music.
I also remember one UK jock who would always play the raves in SF - Andrew Weatherall.

Agreed. Big part of why Wink is an all time fav for me. He would throw all ages parties in Philly, which was the only way I was ever going to see Djs play. None of the proggers would have touched those types of things with a 10 foot poll at the time. Bones, Adam X, Dan, Dave the Drummer, Chris Liberator, Chris Liebing, Diesel Boy were the types of names you’d get.

Yup. We booked Jerry Bonham once time (because a headliner, who I cannot remember, had to back out last minute). Dude acted like he was doing us a favor while getting like two racks to play records. We had an excellent soundsystem and a good crowd so he was super friendly once he realized we weren’t a joke, but still.
The Detroit guys were just as bad. Charging bonkers fees and in an era before sync where Atkins, Saunderson, Larkin, Carl Craig couldn’t mix a fucking gin and tonic. Give me Charles Feelgood and Doc Martin any day of the week over those pompous clowns.
jonattonyeah this is the one that comes to mind for me. Could you imagine if Smallman1 encountered such music? He’d have been home like a shot and under the duvet cover faster than you can say pizza sans cheese!

Weren’t invited anyway. The proggers seemed too obsessed with their image and their stern looks at the camera. We just wanted to have fun. Maybe Camisra’s “Let Me Show You” is a stupid record. Don’t care. Enjoyed it.
“Love In Traffic” is also an awful, awful record.
EDIT fucks sake is this boring
It’s like “Rise In” with AIDS. And 12 fucking minutes.
Ed typing “play Creamer and K” into a text on his Nokia and holding it in front of Wink for 20 minutes.
Followed by getting domed by a 9 volt at The Spectrum
Just remembered this beauty from 2013. Not the hardest but the room goes off.
I’ve started this at 3:55 where the best drop is.
It’s techno but fuck it.
Rabbit hole alert. I’m closing rekordbox before I just end up pasting dozens.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Boom goes the dynamite.
NasserAlazzawi It’s techno
As far as actual prog goes, this is the undisputed heavyweight champ:
