The spirit of 90s dance music is everywhere right now. You can hear the vibe of New Jersey deep house, UK junglists and warehouse raves in today’s production. What a great feeling for those who were around at the time. Despite massive government pressure, France had a small but lively rave scene throughout the 90′s. It’s origins can be retraced to a factory built on the outskirts of Paris called Mozinor (Montreuil Zone Industriel Nord). Of course this wasn’t the only place from which the French rave scene took it’s source, but it’s fascinating architectural design, much akin to today’s techno and house haven in Berlin, Berghain, gave the venue somewhat cult status. Hosting major raves during the early 90′s, Mozinor certainly lived up to it’s reputation back in the day, so much so that the idea of a revival became more and more irresistible. One facebook group and a mix competition later, and the scene was set for a Mozinor rave special at mona with original rave DJ Per from Amsterdam, regularly billed in Paris back in 1992-93, and DJs Rork & DJZ 303 909, both joint winners of the mozinor mi amor mix competition. You can hear the whole night recorded live here, including the usual crowd noises and screams and excellent DJ sets from all, spanning the pre 1994 period. Needless to say this was another full house at mona with many of the original rave heads bringing smiles to the dancefloor. In today’s consumerist and increasingly individualist world it’s refreshing to see that the open minded, free and sharing spirit of original underground rave culture is still alive. The Mozinor mi Amor crew held their first large scale event a week later with another full house turn out and a full power rave from start to finish. Catch them here to stay in touch for future events … it’s all about one Nation under a groove!
