Best "jack your body" memories

[diablo]

So we've all been to lots of parties, but a few times stand out where you've just lost your shit on the dancefloor. Let's hear about it.

For me it was Alex Peace and Bam Bam on 4 decks at Liquid Groove Quest 4 Vibes at some warehouse in the west end (somewhere on Dufferin, I think). 1999 (maybe 2000?). Pure Chicago mentalness. The peak of it all was when they dropped "Work This MF" by DJ Deeon. Almost broke my neck.

Different song.

For me it was the Derrick May/Kevin Saunderson party (can't remember where) - granted, vices of the evening led to a cartoon panorama in my head as I jived away but i distinctly remmber at one point looking over at my buddy scott who had the biggest shit-eating grin on his face and gave me the uber-thumbs up of approval - i was just starting to get into techno at that point and distinctly remember thinking to myself "this is absoultely brilliant" - i was then assaulted by a visual of a parade of dwarves with hammers charging towards me and ran downstairs to watch kenny glasgow

1) Ed Rush & Optical, New Years Day; System Soundbar.
They laid down the fucking darkest, hardest jungle grooves I had ever heard. It wasn't their production stuff, which sometimes sounds too much like a demented horror acid trip. It was totally dance-able and amazing.

2) Shy FX + MC Skibbadee; sometimes in the winter of 2004; System Soundbar

For me, it was Juan Atkins at Phryl's Clockwork party at the Masonic Temple back in 1997. I don't know what tracks he was playing, but I completely lost it.

Then someone let a bag of glitter go in front of the giant fan blowing at the front of the stage and I got a face full of it, but that's another story. But good times nonetheless.

I remember being at Dose "Flashback" Summer '99.

Barry Weaver hit the decks and his first song built and built and built until the whole main room was in one of those total hands in the air screaming your ass off ready for the throwdown frenzies... Barry finally dropped the bassline and this pyrotechnic explosion came down from the ceiling like a sonic boom- timed perfectly with the bassline, resonanting through the room, the whole party must have jumped a foot in the air and exploded in unison. I lost my shit for like 5 minutes and when I was done I had no idea what had happened. When I think back, it is still one of the foremost souces of pleasure in my mind from those days and a memory I hope to never lose.
