Nightclubs closing

Cankles-McJeggings

Did you go to Sasha 12 nights of summer residency at UYR in 95? At the something rooms?? Can’t remember but it was in a shopping mall and the hottest club known to man. We went to about 7 or 8 of them. Some of the most fucked in a club nights I’ve ever been. The supply of drugs was absolutely mental. Must have been a pre requisite!

Pleasure rooms the place was called.

Cankles-McJeggings yes I went twice. Remember it well at the Pleasure Rooms. BT in the box with Sasha when he dropped Embracing the Future and him playing his brand new remix of Lost in Love. Remember pulling a cracker at one of them too pilled off our nuts

Cankles-McJeggings sounds like you were the smallman1 of the early 90s and onwards I.e at the coalface every weekends!

Hats off to you, some clubbing cv that

alistair I went to the University of Leeds for three years

Not sure I knew that - so that’s you, Dave and I all Leeds alum.

The nightlife was def a major selling point of the Uni.

alistair I was a teenager at school in Leeds then. Into indie / Brit pop.

Didn’t get dance music until at least 96. And even then cheesy crap.

Yes.i was at that night. He was waving the 12 of loving you more above his head with his arm round bt. Then dropped both mixes of it back to back. Was some finale. The place was that hot it was raining off the ceiling with sweat.

3 hours of your life you’ll never get back.

Thank fuck for the drugs!

Wow . That’s a blast from the past. The building was I imagine solid 60s brutalist concrete. I reckon the walls must have been 3ft thick. It was literally the basement of a multi story carpark. If you look in the vids you can see the raw concrete, the piles and the electrical conduits on the roof. The bass was just sucked into the walls. One of the best soundsystems in UK clubs for sure. Such and underrated club too, I reckon most of the best djs played there early to mid 90s. The 1st time Sasha played there is probably in my all-time top 3 nights.
Was wondering if it would still be there now as it would probably be hard to level. This could be it on Google maps. The entrance sign seems to still be there. Might not be, it’s hard to tell but looks quite similar. Suppose it could be the front door plus 30 years of additional concrete and reno’s. If it is it’s mad to think the club would still be down there in the bowels of the building structurally unchanged apart from the lights and sound system missing.I’m sure someone told me it got levelled though but maybe not.

What a blast from the past. Always pictured Stu Allan as a powerfully built bald man.

The Cross was always my favourite London venue, the crowd were always superb.

Saw Futureshock absolutely bang the shit out of it there a couple of times, magnificent.

Looks a bit like Warung Beach Club.

Went to Angels almost every week in 95. Great place with everyone off their tits. Sasha, Oakenfold, Cox, Ian Ossia, Tall Paul and towards the end in 1996 was Diggers one and only trip to the club before it shut.
Have to report that the club is now a combined Next / Primark shop.

So you don’t think that in the picture I posted is it? I know some of these maps are dated. It’s just off Curzon st which is the front of this building. I seem to recall parking in the multi then walking down internal stairs to the front of the club which I thought was on the side street off Curzon. I thought I’d heard it was knocked down but wasn’t sure.
We’d have crossed paths for sure. I went the ossia, digweed, Sasha and oaky nights there in those years. Weirdly I’ve still got a bottle of water from the Sasha night 😆 Also got pictures from the diggers night in the carpark after. Was mental as in the club out there.
