One Nation Midsummer Ball
New London Astoria • Saturday 16 July 1994. Seven Rave Archive UK recordings preserve the Midsummer Ball as one night rather than a loose tape list, with the original player paths and MC identities kept where they survive.
Seven tapes back under one night
The Midsummer Ball sits in the early One Nation story after the Roller Express events preserved elsewhere in the archive. By July 1994 the surviving tape trail already spans Randall, Micky Finn, Dr S Gachet, Ratty, LTJ Bukem, Slipmatt and Swann-E.
Ratty’s copy retains Free, Easy and Ruff; Bukem’s retains MC Conrad and the later Kings of the Jungle Volume 3 wording. Those later pack labels help trace how the recordings circulated after the event, but they are not rewritten as a timetable for the night.
MixesDB also preserves the Bukem & Conrad set as One Nation, The Astoria, London, dated 16 July 1994, and notes that material from the event later circulated in Kings of the Jungle Volume 3.
