reliving the dream - Osmosis ‘91..
Travis (TK Disco) hit me up today in his eternal quest for vinyl treasures, asking about a track on an old dusty Scott Hardkiss tape..
Turns out it’s a track I used to (over)play at my Thursday night residency ‘Osmosis’ all the way back in ‘91.
Someone stole the actual vinyl from me long ago, but thanks to the wonders of youtube we can relive those mindblowing days of nightclub raving where, to quote the Examiner’s review of Osmosis - “the level of sexuality was so high, you didn’t know if someone was gay, straight, transsexual, bisexual — it didn’t matter.” How often can you say something like that? Was also a time when it seemed ecstacy was gonna change the world, and wearing too much shiny silver clothing was hella kuel…….
Which reminds me, if you’re curious and wanna know more about those crazy times you should get out and read Mireille Silcott’s Rave America which covers the history of SF in the early nineties including Osmosis, the Harkiss Brothers, the Wicked full moons and a whole lot more. It’s a damn good read..
