Never wish years away but would’ve loved to have seen S&D at their pomp in the ’90’s. They were just too established for warehouses in San Francisco. I was too young to see them in clubs. PVD did play one spot for some weird reason in like 1999. Leveled the place. I didn’t even like Trance, was a House guy, but that was fun.
Your favourite year of clubbing
jonattonyeah Deep East Oakland is another story.
yeah i learned about that from too short lol. i’ll check that doc out, thanks.
303abuser too short
LEGEND. Him and Mac Dre (RIP) are Town royalty.
And yeah the doc is good. The end is pretty hard to watch. For me, anyway. But I’m more sensitive than many. The number of people filmed who ended up murdered over the course of making it is just tragic.
I think it’s impossible to pick one year. 1993, 94, 96 and 98 were absolute belters.
Has Alexei Sayle ever said anything funny?
‘dave’ seems to think so.

I only started in 89 but it was 90/91 that i got really into it. Went to a rave every week all over the country,travelling up in a convoy of cars, arriving at a massive rave and seeing lasers shooting across a field, hearts pounding or queuing outside a club and hearing that thud thud of the music and knowing full well you’re in for another good night.
Dubman Techno Trance - what a savage track that was, 1990 was another great year, Lots of time spent on the M25 and in service station car parks waiting for the venue. Fab days indeed
Techno trance was a big one for me too. First heard it on Key 103.. Stu Allan. Went into Spin Inn records in Manchester to get it.
Dubman saw Guru Josh at Slough Centre around the time of Infinity - think I saw Adamski there too at a similar time, when Live & Direct was doing its thing
I always thought Guru Josh was the fella out of Lost Boys with the Sax

I saw guru Josh there as well. Wicked party’s. Outback raves i think
Dubman Yeah, Outback, Yikes, Pleasure Zone - Our paths probably crossed - Ello mate, where you from? What you on?
ArchimedesQ
Went to a Yikes but not Pleasure Zone. Did you goto any of the Perception raves.

1995:
So many good nights but Global Gathering for me took the biscuit.
Dubman I did a couple of Perceptions. I was a ticket agent for a few Sunrise/Energy events and went to raindance a lot. Labrynth, Sin at Astoria and Rage/Land of Oz were my main haunts though. I used to do the Mud Club at Busbys, Dungeons, Full Circle, Valbonnes in Maidenhead. standard 1990 routine.

went to a few Perceptions as well & Raindance at Jenkins lane. We used to get our tickets from Maxxine in Brighton until my mate Rich became a ticket agent.
