From King Ron's Party Reviews: 

"This annual party is different from all the other parties because it features techno predating 1993 [...]  There were 2 featured DJ's : LD-50 and Terminator Rex, both from when the Rev was called the Bronx.

"I arrived at around 1:30am and there were about 100-150 people present. I'm not sure who was playing at the time, but it was neat to hear tracks such as the self titled track Church of Extacy and Harder'N'Deeper by DJ Hooligan. [...]

"The lighting was minimal with the strobe light going creating a darker more underground atmosphere than Summer School. There was also a cage suspended above the dance floor with a female dancer gyrating in it which was fun to watch.

[...] Older techno has such a different sound to it and it was neat to compare it to techno today."
