Dave's Classic Commercial CD Listening Club
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!
I went to Sundissential once. I met Judge Jules (KLANG). He was remarkably friendly.

Amps Jeremy Healy owned that period. Women used to wet their knickers when he came on. Coke fiend and shagger extraordinaire. The skirt at Ronson when he played was top quality. Got banned from all the best hotels in Leeds. Remember he was resident at Cream for while. Funny, I saw him play quite a good set at Gatecrasher in 98 when his profile was starting to decline and the cyberpunks didn’t like him. Wouldn’t play trance. I respected the attitude. Went out with Kate Moss and Patsy Kensit. Fair play
Healey at up yer Ronson was always rammed.

Bed was originally the music factory. I used to go to love to be quite a bit. Another Healey favourite

I also remember seeing Adam freeland and garnier at the sound factory but it certainly was not love to be
I saw Healy wipe his coke and snot encrusted nose with a towel and then throw it into the crowd at Sugar Shack. I imagine someone has a shoebox at home with a septum stained beer towel they bring out at parties.

Phil-McRackin Jesus Christ!!
Heno I think he thought he was
Obv never had the chance to go to Gatecrasher, but when I was 12 I used to spike my hair up every day in homage to the Crasher kids.
No hair-dye or any of that other stupid garb though - still had to wear a school uniform after all.
Fuck me….was it that bad? Hard to unsee that
hugopal it’s one I’d be happy with, tbf.
Dan ….fruitlessly trying to pull it back but having a shocker. Proper amateur hour that……

IndustryStandard Despite that i do love that ORN track. Reminds me of Turnmills.
