Your favourite year of clubbing
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.
these threads always make me miss the days of simple hedonism. good music, friends, and chemicals and no real life worries yet.
Dubman I remember Maxine - didn’t she used to go out with Carl Cox? I used to out with a girl called Magda from Chertsey way who was also a ticket agent for a few. Crazy days. Oh to be 21 again, makes me quite grateful to have experienced it all. These 1995 onwards clubbers probably had a great time, but not like we did at the start. The feeling of love and hope was incredible at the time. A lot to do with the pills, but still……

i think everyone feels this way about the people who came after, but i suspect you’re actually right.
