Dr Gloom 21996 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Aye, strange list like. I think it's been lifted from about 2 compilations tbh. Probably MoS/Cream. And aye Chez, I quite like 4Hero's early rave stuff but they did some nice jazzy d 'n' b / r&b stuff later on too. Jacob's Optical Stairway were similar. Funny how some of the older tunes, especially Acid House ones, seem really dated and some are still absolutely class and still sound fresh. It is odd though, even some of the dated sounds still work in a retro way. Was listening to Acid Thunder by Fast Eddie the other day and although the production has that dated sound, i reckon it still sounds fresh if you know what i mean. I feel the same about voodoo ray by guy called Gerald. Still gives me goosebumps that tune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 7083 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 This has inadvertently become the most exclusive thread on here. Notice the complete lack of certain elements. Coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a better one he was involved with is Pacific State. Liked his (sort of) jungle stuff as well, especially Black Secret Technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Wear FM Was that with someone called Howie Dj'ing? And MC Lee. They both played at Havanna's and then the Arena in Boro. Those two clubs were the best in the history of the north east, it wont please anyone to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) If we're talking house clubs I really liked Progress in Derby. Perhaps I was just young and innocent but it managed to be a glam club and have a really good atmosphere. I loved it even if it was ostensibly a 'handbag house' place. I normally preferred sweaty dives but I always had a good night there. Edited March 15, 2011 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going ape shit to Smurf & UEP, class! Aye used to spend quite a bit of time in there (Until my ears started to hurt). There are still some events like that on in Newcastle like, usually at the stage door. Neophyte was on last friday but I missed it due to lack of funds...

Dr Gloom 21996 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 If we're talking sweaty dives, I used to love this place called the arches in Sheffield. Proper underground warehouse type place under a railway bridge. They had the best door policy of any club I've ever been to. You could skin up and smoke freely plus their nights would go on until midday the following day sometimes. I remember seeing Randall, kemistry (rip) and storm there in 98. Night lasted over 48 hours. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
