Dave's Classic Commercial CD Listening Club
Dan ….guilty of one of the worst “like nuns falling down the stairs” mixes on a CD compilation. Know it was “Live” but a lack of QC in my opinion at Cream HQ
bosstrabs Wonder what happened to the thousands who dressed up as Pikachu’s when the club folded. A tough look to get out of too easily………not too pub friendly, especially up North.
IndustryStandard Just listening now……sounds like he’s done a Henry and just ‘gone for it’
Dan All about Oakenfold and trance?
Around the time I started going ('97) it was usually Graeme Park or someone playing plinky plonky handbag house in the main room (you can hear exactly what Graeme Park will have been playing by simply listening to him now), Oakenfold or someone interesting (Weatherall, Justin Robertson) in the annexe, but then Oakenfold took over the Courtyard. Nick Warren and then Steve Lawler were the Annexe residents.
Then it sort of flipped in ’99 when Seb became resident and mostly played trance to the main room, and soon after Yousef became Annexe resident so it was house in there.
But Amps almost certainly went more than me, I was mostly in GodsKitchen as I was at uni down there.

They graduated to the hard house clubs like Insomniacz.
Dan Early days from about 92 -95 where a bit of a free for all, which was reflected in the rest of the scene, Sasha on the same line up as Judge Jules etc. But that is where and how Cream made it’s name, it had a bunch of the best DJs in the world, on every Saturday night, all under one roof, at the zeneth of dance music. That rep came long before the commercial releases and any of it was considered cheesy. Around 95 - 96 ish the rooms and line ups became a bit more thematic.
Went to gatecrasher at least once and a month from when it started at the arches. Had some brilliant nights seeing Sasha, sander k, Paul van dyke and Carl cox. Also went to some shockers including a New Year’s Eve where Tony de vit was on at 9pm. Certainly become full of egos when the whole uv gang started to get famous. My mates younger brother turned into one. When it shut they all moved onto the hard house nights in Sheffield ((can’t remember it’s name but was also an after hours when gatecrasher was still on, which was fucking horrendous)
Sorry, completely missed the joke! Taxi!
