Nightclubs closing

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.

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

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.

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.

This was posted a while back on renaissance FB.
The DJ box or pulpit as it was known was up high on the left the support beam is still there. Next to that was the stage. Opposite end on the left was the bar and the double doors next to it were to 2 flights of stairs to the bogs then chillout room.
The doors on the wall to the left opposite the windows were fire exits with like a little roof. You could stand on them and could spend whole nights up there. All the speakers were at the stage end higher up. Reckon the roof arch shape was probably why the bass boomed so much. Its odd though because I don’t actually recall it being arched !
