About

Since 1991, we’ve been capturing the heart and soul of the Scottish rave scene, filming at legendary events like LOVE at the Plaza Glasgow, Maelstrom at Marco’s Forum, Awesome 101 in Livingston, Holocaust in New Cumnock, Sweatbox Ballys in Arbroath, Network Paisley, BarnOwl Strathaven, Mayfair Glasgow, Move Coatbridge, Bishops in Elgin, Moist Fife, Gaelforce Dumbarton, Revolution (Awesome 101) at Dalleagles Farm, Metro Saltcoats, Kellys in Portrush, Tunnel in Glasgow, Fubar Stirling, Hanger 13 Ayr, TechnoTrance at the Barrowlands, Rez Luminaire at Ingliston, Streetrave’s Eurodance event at Prestwick Airport, and so many more.  Paul started buying more cameras batteries and lights to last throughout the night, he would give cameras to his friends to go film what they want, “just go get the vibe, i only need 10% if you can hold the shot, it grew arms from there and we were out most weekends capturing this new vibe called rave.

In 1999 the Double Vision crew took time out from the rave scene due to careers work family and changes in the scene. 10 years later lots of ravers from back in the day began to appear on the social media platform Bebo, ravers started reconnecting with each other and reminisce about the amazing times that we all had in the 90’s.  Paul had just given up his career as a building inspector to become full-time carer to his mum who was diagnosed with dementia. Paul was inspired by the buzz about the rave scene on Bebo, in his spare time from caring for his mum he would dig out some of his old tapes and make small video clips to post on to Bebo and YouTube for all the oldskool ravers to see.  Paul quickly grew frustrated at the limitations of Bebo’s new video platform and teamed up with student sound engineer and web builder Marc McLean to create a dedicated website to show all the old tapes.

We took on the challenge to rescue as many of the tapes as possible and use this website to document how Scotland raved throughout the 1990’s and keep those memories alive. Right from the outset we knew this was going to be a monumental task,  Paul’s technique for logging and storing all the tapes was always chaotic back in the day, literally hundreds of tapes lying around in boxes, on shelves, some unlabelled, some boxes stored up his cold damp loft for years.

tapes with multiple labels and all the ink fading away because the tapes have been pushed into the edit machines so many times over the years, some tapes are snapped, some tapes have liquid ingress, probably beer.

As well as the condition of the tapes there are also issues like some of the crew turning the camera off and on at random times making it tricky to keep large projects in sync, the machines we use to digitise the tapes constantly need their heads cleaned due to the dust etc accumulated on the tapes over the years. if the heads build up too much dust etc the video image ends up ruined and the tape has to be recaptured.

We started going back out filming music events again in 2009 under the alias DVcrew Scotland (Double Vision Scotland).  It is now 2025 and we still go out when we can creating content for our website and event promoter social media platforms.  We don’t just film raves and nightclubs, we work with film makers, documentary makers, archive researchers and wedding videographers, we shoot with Sony HXR video cameras, Black Edition GoPro’s, Nikon DSLR, DJI Ronin S and DJI Mini 2.  We are not a business or a company, we are two guys that are passionate about video, photography and building our online archive.

During lockdown we have built 2 new Ryzen Strix based edit PC’s to increase our workflow quality and capacity, we have also had to invest in archive storage to keep all our data safe there is over 50 terabytes of archives between our two studios, oldskool 91-98 footage and 2009-2025 footage, we continue to build on the old school vibe and rescue every little bit from the original tapes that we can.  It has taken the last 15 years to get all the 90’s footage together rescuing hundreds of tapes and editing all the live cameras together as much as we possibly could, as well as still going out now and then filming current music events and creating new content.

Our content has appeared on MTV, MTV Europe, MTV Dance Zone, MTV Chillout Zone, STV Chartbite, STV News, BBC Scotland, The Sound Of Belgium, Scoobs The Rave Years by Journey Pictures – David Street, The Story of STREETrave ’89-’09 – Lemon Productions, Bits & Pieces Documentary by BBC Tune, ‘Hold Me’ Tim Knights – Night Fever Exhibition – V&A Dundee, ‘Scotland The Rave’ Documentary – Two Rivers Media, Sons of Ecstasy – Warner Bros-Discovery.

Why is rave favourite Bits and Pieces so loved in Scotland? This is the untold story of how an underground Dutch dance tune written in 1994 became the ultimate Scottish ...anthem.

Dance banger Bits and Pieces is an unofficial Scottish anthem. Adopted by the Tartan Army as the official goal song and played by huge names like Calvin Harris and Lewis Capaldi, it's celebrated by young and old alike. But how did a bedroom recording written by, Dutch underground act Artemesia, aka producer Patrick Prins, in 1994 become such a hit in Scotland more than 25 years on? GBX Anthems DJ and producer Patrick Prins dive back to the halcyon days of the rave scene and get the whole story of the banger Bits and Pieces.
