Sevenoaks, down south
TBH, I was into hardcore and drum and bass from 92 - 93, but coming from down south the exposure to the more uplifting piano house was't there:( and it was the darkness of the D&B/Hardcore scene that put me off.

I then started buying more house and spending more time in the house rooms that the hardcore rooms:D From then on it was house all the way, so even in the mid 90's I was playing catch up in terms of buying the late 80's early 90's house.

Its only been the last 5 years that I have managed to track down the more uplifting/piano/ italian stuff and alot of that has to do with websites and forums such as this;) so cheers OSA:thumbsup:

Was Manchestoh, Now Yorkshire
Was out regularly from summer 89 onwards. :) Went to the revival nights at the Hacienda around 1994(?)

Smart they were:)

I went with Man Alive off here, plus 4 other mates from University in my mums old Polo. A few of em hadnt been to the Hac before and were bored senseless with me going on about the place, so they wanted to see what all the fuss was about

Didnt enjoy the drive home

Not far from Tesco's
My first was an illegal hippy rave on Hungerford common in 91, then after it was Lechlade and a few warehouse parties in Stroud, then Castlemorten. Castlemorten in 92 seemed to be the last good illegal festival so i then went onto clubbing which was ok to start with but then the nobheads started getting into the scene as did the hardcore shite, it slowly went downhill from there and so did the chemicals :cry:
Though i was pleased that good progressive house was coming out in 93 so i got well into that.
