jonattonyeah
My best mate used to drive a few of us in bosses work motor. He used to drive all over in it. His boss never knew.
Your favourite year of clubbing
Cabs were never an option for us. These parties were out in weird industrial neighborhoods of Oakland and San Francisco. They wouldn’t come out there. Plus Brett could pile 8 people in that thing. It was great.
jonattonyeah There were a lot of empty warehouses in St. Louis, and the cops MOSTLY looked the other way, so we weren’t ever too far from somewhere we could catch a taxi. However the raves in fields….we did try to make sure at least one person wasn’t too fucked up to get us to civilization lol
Yeah we were lucky. Brett was a fucking machine. He could’ve driven an F1 race car on 6 rollers.
Who was that DJ/producer from STL that was on GU? Smight or something?
- Edited
jonattonyeah Smight was from Texas I think. I’m trying to think about any other producers that would have been on the board. I know some, but they weren’t GU regulars, moreso on 4Four. My friend Drew was pretty prolific for a while…his dj/producer name is Butane, and he’s from the St. Louis area, although he moved away several years ago.
Ahh that’s right. And I’m familiar with Butane! Haven’t heard anything from him in a while.
jonattonyeah Yeah, after he moved to the east coast for a while, we lost touch, so I’m not really sure what he’s been up to lately either.
jonattonyeah we mostly sorted it out with public transport, but i remember one time a friends dad who was pretty cool picked us up from a semi-rural area at 9 am. the floors were red at the beginning of the night, our pants were up to our knees with a pink, caked-on plaster like substance. the look on his face at the state of us was priceless. 
JTY said PANTS!
ArchimedesQ …blimey yes!
In fact, most of my memories are of the last 20mins/half hour when the lights went up and the big piano tunes came out… everyone dancing on the tables.
This one takes me right back there:
…there’s a bloke in that last pic that looks like me, sent it to a few mates and they all agree, it’s got to the point that its freaking me out and I can’t look at it anymore
Can’t be Damo.
They’ve all got hair.
…a beret in this case, which tbf was en vogue circa ‘89/90’
Power to the people!
Along_the_Wire …haha, backwards Kangol, more Curiosity Killed the Cat/Frank Spencer
303abuser totally mate. I couldn’t get my mind off it from Wednesday to Friday!
Dear Lord
NasserAlazzawi i miss those days, it takes a lot to get me to that level of enthusiasm for anything now.
Probably 2006, my first Bedrock @ Heaven venture, aged 19.
Just glad to have at least experienced a few nights at Heaven before it moved on to other venues like Fire & Lightbox which were shit.
I only ever attended Bedrock @ Heaven. Was a great venue and always a great crowd.
Though I was usually spangle-dangled in the Star Bar listening to someone like Ashley Casselle rather than the sweaty Digweed cockfest/vortex.
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, Digweed’s 006 sound getting hammered, boss clubs up and down the country, I was still discovering a lot of music, it all felt very new and exciting still, think that is when I went from being a fan of dance music and electronic stuff to maybe falling in love with it, first decks and mixer, record collection started to grow in that direction, jumpers for goal posts, isn’t it, rush goalie, two at the back, three in the middle, four up front, one’s gone home for his tea.

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.
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?
- Edited
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
Terminalhead/Tayo and the rest of Bedrocks breaks royalty in room 3
alistair Remember Desyn bossing room 2 at Gallery a few times
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.
