Gloucester what can I say. You were amazing. I spent 10 years of my life after I left foster care at 16 from Tewkesbury moved to Gloucester & had a council flat, we all grew up raving & I ran nights in Gloucester for years, it was so lovely to be back with so many familiar faces we were teenagers, ravers, raves were a way of life.
Those girls & Gloucester crew made me a tough cookie I def grew up with the Rudegyal Dem & without them all, the yardies the underground culture, the music, the vibes… well… Nuff said. We all grown up now & def chilled out a bit but that little bit of gangsta still in us all 🤣
Thank you Deans Fest &

@glosgaryt keeping it alive - Cheltenham has a thriving Dnb community too & Stroud it’s great the love is still strong ❤️ Our music community worldwide really is amazing, everyone works so hard but nights like this create memories isn’t that what it’s about ❤️ Good times trying to enjoy life when it’s proper tough at times ❤️
Sorry for the gushy post but over the last few months up and down the UK I bump into old friends & it really means a lot ❤️
Just want to shout out Donovan Bad Boy Smith again. Instrumental in Gloucesters music scene and without him and the legends in our scene we wouldn’t have a path to follow. I hope up and coming artists look to our jungle roots & artists and remember our legends & salut so we don’t get any more cultural appropriation - talk to heads like
