[For Beginners] A collection of classic rave tracks: Introducing the rave anthems you should start with!

Rave culture—the musical and cultural revolution that swept across the world in the 1990s.

Thousands gathered in extraordinary spaces like warehouses, beaches, and forests, dancing as one with music and light until morning.

That feverish experience remains vividly etched in many people’s hearts even today.

Rave music, a fusion of genres such as house, techno, and trance, continues to have a profound impact on today’s dance music scene.

So this time, we’re introducing legendary rave anthems—historic tracks that are perfect even for beginners!

[For Beginners] A Collection of Classic Rave Tracks: Introducing Must-Listen Rave Anthems! (31–40)

Can’t Stop RavingDune

Can’t Stop Raving is more in the hardcore techno family than a rave track, but it’s a beautiful song with its piano backing, vocal melody, and dreamy music video.

I also recommend a track called Hardcorevibes.

DominatorHuman Resource

Human Resource – Dominator (1991)
DominatorHuman Resource

The synth that sounds like a vacuum cleaner—called a hoover—comes in with incredible impact right from the intro.

Even Armin van Buuren, the Dutch DJ who was once ranked No.

1 in the world, covered Dominator in a trance style.

It features aggressive rhythms and rap.

I Need Your Love (like the sunshine)N.R.G.

This is a breakbeat rave cover of The Korgis’ ‘Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime’ (Eien no Omoi) by N.

R.

G—slightly wistful, yet featuring captivating, intense drums.

I Want You (Forever)DJ Carl Cox

DJ Carl Cox is a world-renowned, heavyweight DJ, and this is one of his rave classics.

It’s a fine track packed with elements emblematic of rave music: breakbeats, a beautiful piano backing, and subtle female vocal samples.

CJ Bolland Ravesignal III – Horsepower (Original Mix)-(1991)
Ravesignal IIICJ BOLLAND

The track is titled, fittingly, Ravesignal III.

It’s a release from Belgium’s R&S Records, the label where Japan’s Ken Ishii made his debut.

It’s a no-nonsense tune with a flanger effect on the synths, giving it a jet-takeoff-like sound.

Dream Frequency Feat. Debbie Sharp – Take Me (Official Video – HQ)
Take meDream Frequency Feat. Debbie Sharp

It’s an energetic, rave-style track from 1992 by Dream Frequency, featuring cool piano backing, a hoover synth, and shout vocals.

The midsection, which seems to use an analog synthesizer, is quintessentially ravey.

VampOutlander

Outlander – Vamp – R&S Records Classics
VampOutlander

A rave classic by Marcos Salon, released on Belgium’s R&S and became a hit.

The plinky-plonky synth in the middle seems to be a Kevin Saunderson sample.

Even the promo feels like a scary Disney cartoon, which is spot-on.
