Rave pioneer Adamski on the hit single “Killer”:
“The percussion was an accident, the notes of the bassline playing on the wrong Midi channel triggered this drum machine, playing those tom-tom sounds that go with the bassline. Basically, I didn’t know what I was doing, but it sounded good.”

On the influence of Margaret Thatcher and the Conservative Party on rave culture:

“Well for starters, there was the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act of 1994, which banned people from dancing to repetitive beats in groups bigger than three. The government was scared of rave. All of a sudden thousands of people were going out and doing hard drugs and setting up massive parties. Also, they probably didn’t like the fact people were making a lot of money out of it. Then again, there was this ’Thatcher’s children’ entrepreneurial element to it too. People were promoting raves, selling ecstasy and starting radio stations. It was like anarcho-capitalism, all love and hugs on the dance floor and people with shotguns and bulldogs behind the scenes. All the same, I still loved it.”
