Guilty pleasures from the Crasher/Cream trance era
Dry-Tinder I had to endure Bullet In A Gun
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.

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

Dry-Tinder 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.
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.

Not trance, but of that era, and I’ve defo played it out a few times:
Alistair has hacked Amp’s account.
Saw Deep Didh play this in Pacha when they played with Tenaglia and Berhouz

Amps eah, it was on an old ‘house’ not ‘prog’ Essential Mix, mixed into the Chems Nude Night, loved it, can’t remember who’s Ess Mix it was though.
It literally took less than a minute to just google:
“david guetta just a little more love chemical brothers nude night essential mix”
and see that is was Pete Gooding’s 2003 Essential Mix (whoever the fuck Pete Gooding is/was):

Quite a few prog tunes in there though.
Was a Mambo resident. Usually more downtempoish stuff I thought

I remember being at creams 5th bitrhday party?? 1997, the same night england drew 0-0 away at italy with paul inces cannister cracked open and we qualified for the 98 world cup. we watched the game in some slum scouse battle cruiser..
we travelled up from ilford.. for Oakeys courtyard..
this was the record he closed out with. it was like the last days of rome in the courtyard when he dropped it. the only thing that spoilt the memory for me was that i had an undercooked burger from a stall at lime street at 7am and got a fucking tape worm. it was a small price to pay for the prog.

For pure cheese. in extremis ..
the crowd whooping at the ‘sin city’ breakdown at 7mins 50 seconds takes some beating.. sums up 1997 sunk to the nuts..
that fucking breakdown..

EraserOfLove Sin City is a monumental choon - don’t think it’s particularly cheesy.
