📡❓ Unknown DJ | Fantasy 98.1 FM, London | 1 December 1990 | Acid House / Techno Rave 🔊🔥📡

🔥 Late-1990 London pirate radio at the crossroads of acid house and techno.
Broadcast live on Fantasy 98.1 FM on 1 December 1990, this set from an Unknown DJ captures that transitional moment where acid house’s euphoric energy met the harder edge of techno rave pressure. Squelching 303 basslines, hypnotic loops, punchy kick drums and raw FM grit roll through — straight from the pirate dial into your mix. 📻💥

🎧 WHAT TO EXPECT
1990 acid house rave, deep 303 basslines, early techno atmospheres, warehouse groove energy, stripped-back synthesizers, pirate-radio hype, tape-rip texture and rhythmic transitions that hint at the coming hardcore era. 🧪🥁🔊🔥

👊 WHO IT’S FOR
Acid house lovers, techno ravers, pirate-radio collectors, Fantasy FM heads, DJs studying late-90s crossover flow, underground electronic music historians and anyone chasing authentic UK rave culture from the cusp of a new era. 👊💚

⚠️ WHY IT’S ESSENTIAL
December 1990 stands at the edge of a genre shift — acid house was still evolving, and techno’s influence was rapidly spreading through the underground. Fantasy FM was a London epicenter for pirate energy, and this set documents the last flickers of acid house euphoria merging with techno’s harder future. A true snapshot of that moment in rave history. 📀🌪️

In August 1989, Mystery Man launched London's second rave station, Fantasy FM.
Fantasy FM started broadcasting from North London in August 1989 on 98.6 FM. They played Acid, Rave & Hardcore music, all of which was massive at the time, and was also dominating the mainstream music charts too, during the time Fantasy was on air.

During the early part of 1990, Fantasy changed frequency to 98.1 FM, which would remain their spot on the FM dial until they closed down in 1991. The reason for them closing down was so they could start broadcasting on Cable TV, which was new here in the UK at the time and was also carrying radio stations, although this plan never materialised in the end. They were also planning to apply for some new incremental FM licenses that the government at the time were due to advertise.

Fantasy had many DJ’s such as Hype, Krome, Rap, Spice, Tek and The Mystery Man. All the presenters had their own styles, some preferred to mix live on air with very little speech, others you’re more standard type of presenter, reading out requests/shout-outs etc, most of which came in via pager at the time.

Fantasy also used to hold rave nights at the Astoria nightclub in Charing Cross, London WC2. Some of the DJ’s who played at these events were Fabio & Grooverider, Colin Favor & Randall, as well as Fantasy DJ’s. These Rave nights carried on after the station had closed down in 1991.
