Camden Palace Reunion
KOKO, London • Saturday 19 July 2014. Five exact Rave Archive UK recordings survive from Moondance’s fourth Camden Palace Reunion, staged at the venue that had once carried the Camden Palace name.
Back to Camden under the KOKO name
By 2014 the old Camden Palace building was trading as KOKO, but Moondance’s reunion series deliberately reached back to the venue’s earlier rave identity. Resident Advisor’s archived listing calls this the fourth Camden Palace Reunion and describes the event as a return to Moondance’s spiritual home.
The five Rave Archive recordings catch different corners of the night: Huck Finn, Rob Blake, Matt Emulsion & Stuart J; Sense & Snypa with MC Fusion; Billy Daniel Bunter with MC Whizzkid; Danny Byrd with MC Five Alive; and Randall & Storm with MC Moose.
The advertised bill was much wider, including Slipmatt, Ratpack, Phantasy, Twista & Trix, Jenna G and a second room. That wider lineup stays as event context rather than being confused with the five recordings that Rave Archive can actually play.
