I Remember....

Stepping back to the late 90s and early 2000s, you could feel the garage vibes just by looking at what people wore. Going out to a garage rave wasn’t just about the music—it was a whole event, and we dressed to impress. We were sharp, polished, like we were going to make the night ours. Think Gucci loafers, no socks, and jeans that were tailored just right. Armani, Moschino, Evisu and Iceberg had us all on lock back then, and everyone rocked them like they were the only designer brands in the world.
Walking into those raves, the girls brought it just as hard. They were in sleek dresses and heels, looking like they'd just walked off the runway, ready for whatever the night would bring. The guys would pop champagne; it was all part of the vibe. There was a sense of luxury but not the sort you’d find today—it was about the experience, not just the flex. Not just for the gram.
Back then, part of the magic was finally putting a face to the voices you’d hear on the radio. There was no social media to check out who was who; you had to be there in person. There were rarely any video's. When that bassline dropped on songs like Nicole's Groove & Boo, you felt it in your chest; it was real, raw, and unforgettable.

Meeting someone at a rave wasn’t just a quick “like” or a message; it was real. You actually had to walk up, say hello, feel that vibe, and maybe share a laugh over a track we all loved or get rejected to your face. It was like you belonged to something, something alive and something that made you thrive.
That era wasn’t just about clothes or music—it was a whole way of living, something that left a mark. And every time we hear those tunes, it’s like we’re right back there, in the thick of it.
