Guilty pleasures from the Crasher/Cream trance era
When did you start experimenting with pastels, Dave?
Them cruncher kids really were bellends. I had some good nights in there, none of them were due to them cunts.
I think what happened was that a couple of people started doing it and they got a load of positive attention (i.e. sex) so others started trying to emulate them and then it started escalating as they competed to outdo one another. I guess it’s just another example of peacocking, ultimately.
I went to one of those so called legendary PVD 6 hours sets. I don’t care what anyone says he cannot put a coherent set together to save his life. He was all over the place. I thought that it was just me, but then Dave Haslam wrote a whole chapter about him in his Wheels Of Steel book.
Dry-Tinder Yes, I also thought 2 hours of PvD was more than enough.
The 1st hour was always the same bpm and same crescendo-ing formula as the 2nd hour.
I saw him a couple of years ago at Gods Kitchen at Crane and he was shocking.
Dry-Tinder agree. Never ever got the hype with him. A couple of great remixes admittedly, but not a great dj. He won the dj mag award one year didn’t he (when it meant something)
Just to fuck with your ASSBURGERS I did a search in that thread and can’t find myself ever writing this word, because I wouldn’t. So dragging me into this conversation must mean your ASSBURGERS is out of control. You fuckin ASSBURGER cunt.

Old-Dutch I had to endure Bullet In A Gun 3 times. If anyone can ID the girls in dog collars it would be nice to know of they still do the trick with the chain in the bum.
Mitsi tattoos! Forgot about those.
Wonder if the many people who had them kept them or covered them up.
Dry-Tinder Bullet In A Gun
What a horrendous croc of shite.
baggers44 YES mate! Still go back to it a few times a year.

Not even RITM could save that track. I detest it so much
Dry-Tinder he cannot put a coherent set together to save his life
I’ll argue his corner here. post Oakey we’d have him on in the Courtyard maybe twice a year, three to four hour sets, and he always delivered. Driving trance. Everyone loved it. Boss vibes etc.

The first Crasher Kids AKA Cyber Kids borrowed thier style from Cyber Goths. They where harmless enough, apart from a couple of hardcore wonds.
Around 01/02 Simon Raine attempted to tilt the line up towards Prog as a monthly night, the likes of Sander Kleinenberg, Parks and Willson, Dave Seaman etc etc. That didn’t go down well with a few of said wonds, hense the sitting on the floor thing.
Never bothered me, but anyway it was around that time that Raine lost control of his own club. The bouncers where running the show (and the lucrative drug trade) as part of a crime gang. In an effort to gain back control Raine ended up teaming up with South Yorkshire police to raid his own club.
They made it more colourful than these lot for sure

Menthol. Also, big kahunas on him, takes some nerve that.
And it then mysteriously burnt down IIRC?
bosstrabs Yeah both of his clubs ended up mysteriously burning to the ground.

Amps Dave Seaman was playing at the time of the raid. He ended up locking the door on the booth and continued to play until the power was cut off. Pills scattered all over the floor.
Hungry Hippos time

In the couple of years I was into that sound, I thought Scott Bond was a decent DJ. First to play many records, dug deep with his choices and was the first to bring over many of the Europeans that went on to become huge names. The weekly crowd loved him

Let me guess, you met them outside a train station bogs, shared some ket with them, then they brought you back to a bedsit and you all tried the human caterpillar. It was just you, but there was 12 girls. There was a ginger cat shaking in the corner. I’m paraphrasing of course.
mono-stereo Pills scattered all over the floor.
Yeah, we got raided once. Same. Pills, cash, all over the place. Cops didn’t seem interested, think they where on a tip off of some sort, but can’t remember. Fuckin hundreds of police in riot gear though.

They raided home and found 16 tablets? is that it?
His sets were ok up until 1999, he played some great tracks, but he seemed to play them in a very radom order, there was never really a journey with his sets, maybe it was his poor mixing. By mid 1999 he was shite…..we’re alive, what fucking nonsense.
This was probably one of his better sets

Pvd’s final 6hr set before the fire was one for the books.
