The Original Old Skool Rave Tape Archive.
Rave Archive UK is an independent project dedicated to preserving, digitising and sharing the history and sounds of UK rave culture.
Built since 2008, the archive now contains 35,000+ recordings, from original cassette tapes and radio recordings to live sets and digital collections spanning decades of underground dance music.
Here you'll find thousands of sets covering Acid House, Old Skool, Hardcore, Jungle, Drum & Bass, Happy Hardcore, Garage and more, featuring legendary events, clubs, DJs and MCs alongside rare recordings increasingly difficult to find elsewhere.
Recordings are organised into playlists by event, year, DJ and MC to make the archive easy to explore.
This isn't a vanity project. It's a heritage project.
📼 Preservation & digitisation • 🎧 Daily uploads • 🎤 DJ/MC • Events & collaborations

15 years ago I had been through a break up and was selling all my tape packs, so I ripped them first and stored them on MediaFire as I was running low on hard drive space.

This is the first time I have been able to write to you directly, so first thing I have to say is thanks for being here for how ever long I have been uploading tapes and other bits, and thank you for listening.
