Read this article that chronicled Donnie's rise to the top in the rave world, the crash after the enforcement of the crack house law and the introduction of the RAVE act, and his rebuilding and eventual sale of Disco Productions to SFX. I've met the guy quite a few times and real down to earth but I definitely couldn't do what he does, especially with a wife and kids.

Added bonus, stumbled across this subreddit with footage of some parties back in 99-2000. I'm sure some of you are in these videos.

I remember pulling up to the STP when everybody was standing around outside during the raid. We were tripping balls and had no idea what was going on. Ended up chit-chatting with Fresh from Bad Company for about 10 minutes before I realized who he was.

Donnie & I had our differences at one point, but we ended up on the same side eventually, and I actually played at a couple of his parties at the STP. Really cool guy, and yeah, there's no way in hell that I could do what he does. Much, much respect to Disco Donnie.

Reading those links makes me feel funny inside. Seems like another world, another time. Even though I go to the equivalent today, I just don't have that jua de vivre that youth provides. I remember being 15 or 16, and seeing electric sky church. They had a singer at the time, she wore this sheer gown, I thought she was a goddess. Deus

Memories. Caffeine 1998 = my first rave. John Kelly blew my balls out of the palace as I was induced into a "trolling" coma. The seats in the palace were racing each other and the balcony was shouting at them to run faster.

I was at the rave that got busted in 2000. We still went in after several hours of nonsense.

The Palace was a crack den; the Jungle Room was meth and coke city.

That other room...I guess people were in K holes while they listened to that shite.
