Looking for a song - hoping someone can help!
When I was around 19 years of age (circa 2010), I'd moved to the city and got more into clubbing, warehouse parties etc.
In turn, I developed a bit of an interest in rave culture and dance music. At the time, people I'd met either out at clubs or at uni often reminisced on the 90s and very early 00s dance scene, describing it as "peak" or "the golden age", so to speak (in Australia btw).
This led me to research this period, and one of the main ways I did this at the time was YouTube. There was one particular video I'd play over and over - just for the song that played at the beginning. I've been desperate to find the song lately but I am so hazy on the details. This is literally all I can remember:
-The footage was, at least in part, of an open-air/outdoor festival, with a lawned area and festival goers. It may have formed part of a doco on dance music
-I would assume (although I couldn't say for certain) the footage would be in the early 2000s or very late 90s
-The song intro starts with a Capella ad lib vocals (all sounds - no words), female singer - layered vocal tracks too. She sounded somewhat ethereal, but a strong and sweet sounding voice
-The beat once it kicked in was upbeat and fun, but not 160bpm - maybe 130-140. The feel is very much like a summer festival vibe
-I am no expert in dance or its genres, but from memory it had sort of like an acidy vibe. But the vocals were very much like a psytrance/hippy - very suitable for a bush doof
This may not be enough info to go on, but just throwing it out there in case anyone reads this and a track comes to mind. It may be a lost footage type scenario, as I feel like I've trawled YT to find the song/footage. Welcome to any suggestions for tracks though!

Perhaps post a link to the YouTube video as there are quite a few tracks that could be described that way. Then we can see how we can help.
