Dad Dancing: Inspector Morse Rave
A long time ago people on TV didn’t know what a rave was. Here Inspector Morse and Lewis find themselves at one. ‘It’s like some sort of an orgy!’ says Morse. Lewis wears a tartan cap to blend in. It … Continue reading
Dad Dancing: Sharevari on The Scene
The earliest yet example of dad dancing, from 1982. This clip has some outstanding moves from Detroit pre-techno dads. Stuff I could only really achieve in my head. I’d think I was tearing it up but when someone played me … Continue reading
Dad Cast 3: Fear Of Dads
Dads can be scary. This is a mix of quite worrying early proto-rave music and acid. Begins with Earth Leakage Trip – No Idea…the scariest rave tune by far. The doors are where the windows should be… Tracks: Earth Leakage … Continue reading
Mach – On and On
Here’s the tune that plays in the Rahaan clip from our Dad Dancing section earlier today. It’s a belter! Get your dad on. It does go On and On though. The clue is in the title. When I play this … Continue reading
Dad Dancing: Rahaan’s Powercut
This is one of those classic wee moments that can happen sometimes when you’re DJing. Here is Rahaan in a sweaty Chicago basement (the best kind of DJ gig). There’s quite a bit of embarrassing dancing – check the guy with dreads … Continue reading

For some reason I haven’t yet posted any hardcore. Here’s one of the first crop of that peculiarly British genre, a turbo-foot dad dancing classic from one hit wonder Lennie De Ice. It has a bit of a reggae bassline, … Continue reading
Dad Tape: Tanith at Universe 1992
Most old rave tapes are best left in the dusty glove compartment of ancient history. You think ‘I used to love that tape of DJ Ratbag at the Eclipse’, and thanks to the wonder of the internet, you can now … Continue reading
Dad Dancing: Hawkwind
Dancing to Hawkwind can be especially embarrassing. It’s the kind of dad dancing you might do at 5am with headphones turned up very loud after everyone has gone to bed. For a lot of techno dads that’s the only kind … Continue reading
Holy Noise – Get Down Everybody
Another dad dancing classic from the Benelux axis. It’s definitely on the cheesy side, and goes in the same pre-gabba bucket as Sperminator. I was actually quite disappointed when gabba sped up around 1993 cos I loved the sounds they … Continue reading
Dad Dancing: Mulligan and Ohare’s Tittybiscuits
This is a cack masterpiece from the famous man-boobed folk duo, but it’s the instrumental version of Brimful of Asha by Cornershop that really does the damage. Wevie Stonder based their entire act on this one sketch. Probably. SIDCUP!
