Amps After some consideration, gonna plump for 98. Not for any particular tracks, just that I was at Uni, having at it night and day, amazing times with amazing people

I would say the same, for the same reasons, though it was 99 when I really hit my stride.

Included an absolutely glorious summer, a great Creamfields, and I successfully avoided the madness/stupidity of shit NYE watching Fatboy Slim in some tent on the Albert Dock (or the Gatecrasher event everyone complained about that cost about £100 to get in), instead going to a storming house party.

Dan Yeah, decent vibes in there. I loved Digweeds sets, but he just used to get heavier and heavier….proper banging. Like someone smacking two dustbin lids together.

From what I remember there was often a decent up and coming dj in there. I saw James Zabiela in there (2002?).

    My mate warmed up for SOS one Thursday at Bedrock. Prob stayed in the Star Bar all night…Dakota Bar was the other room wasn’t it?

      Heaven room 1 was uncomfortably hot as I recall. I remember retreating to room 2 one year and staying there to watch Desyn instead (whatever happened? )who has mustard. Snabeln, followed closely by Pennies from Heaven as I recall. Remember Desyn bossing room 2 at Gallery a few times. Top dj

        Yeah, one of them always had a decent guest. The other one was often Phil Thompson (Moonface) back then.

        Terminalhead/Tayo and the rest of Bedrocks breaks royalty in room 3

        I can never remember which room number is which, or which arch number is which (at The Cross), but that smaller room at Turnmills has always been one of my fave rooms at a major club.

        Always a decent crowd, always something interesting going on music-wise, and enough space to dance. Done about 4-5 hours in there a few nights.

          bosstrabs Ashley Casselle

          Got a great tape of him from Cream, warming up for Van Dyke when he was on Deviant. Plays that ‘Saturn’ tune I can never remember the name of.

            Also responsible for Ashtrax - Helsinki so is automatically entered into the ‘epic breakdown hall of fame’.

            Amps He was a decent dj, saw him bang it out a few times. Always progressed from breaks or a bit of vocal stuff at the start, through prog, into pure e-trance and bone-rattling techno. Just what you want really.

              bosstrabs Seen Steve Lawler & King Unique doing their live shizzle in that room. Fucking ace.

              Was at every Bedrock for around two years. Amazing nights. Clubbing done proper.

              Used to just crash in the van afterwards and nearly electrocute myself the next day at work whilst wiring in. Either that or parking wardens tapping on the window telling me to move on. Messy.

              Amps Yeah, sounds about right. Top bloke too, always said hello etc.

              Although when I saw him he wasn’t playing warm-up for PvD, in which case he would have to be a bit more ‘polite’.

              Didn’t go for a few years until it moved to XOYO.

                Dubman i have sonos, so i have one playing in each room with video loop of digweed dropping heaven scent in groove on a giant projector.

                  bosstrabs yeah that smaller room in turnmills was great fun, remember one nye there was a Happy Monday’s dj set in it, my god Bez had fire in his eyes !! Had a photo of him somewhere was like he was possessed
