Where you going to 'oldskool' events pre 1994?
- Thread starter pleasuredrom2
- Start date
got into it 1982/3, robotics was the first tunes that made me dance..........best year!! the summer of 90 in to the spring of 91.....first class tunes.........but i am biasedphones:
I was 12 in 94...I was listening to it back then, thru tapes given to me via my older piers-lol but never went to the clubs, given the fact I looked about 9!...I wish I was older, so I could of experienced it and been there
I was pretty much the same, albiet a year or two older. Was into the scene a little earlier through radio and tapes from around 91/92. Always been pretty much on my own being into the oldskool so didn't find anybody to go raving with untill 97.
On the pirates now myself which is cool. Had a few of the people I used to listen to text into my show now so thats uber wicked.
Don't know where that puts me with the poll btw. Was into the scene but couldn't really go raving at 12 years old. :$
first for me was the 2nd galactica in scarborough (dec 91) was more into hip hop before that but it blew me away , didn't go out religiously after but made it to phenomena in brid a few times , some he la hu things in york and went to galactica paris, one thing i do regret is not joining some mates going over to the zone oncemissed out big time.
Bloody hell mate, Galactica in Scarborough! Did you go to the one at the racecourse?
Also Phenomena at Bridlington Leisure World???
Hardcore night at Toffs in Scarborough 91?? Not my ideal tunes, but not a lot else in our neck of the woods!
Was out regularly from summer 89 onwards.
Smart they were
Yeah I went to the Hac in 91 first time and a regular there from 92 till closure.
The Revival/classic/89 nights circa 94 were indeed ace, Jon da Silva did most of them I think.

Living in London I'm sure there probably was. Think there was teenrage or something like that. I was just into the music though and a bit nieve to the actual raving side of things. Plus not really knowing anybody else into it meant I had nobody to go to events with.
lol lol my old stomping ground too phenomena @ brid they were the days nipper , bill-e-whizz , frankie wonder , carl cox , evil eddy richards , huggy , mann parris , n-joi , new Atlantic ,
did you go to the one they called " the effing fierce one the first all dayer in about 92 still got some old photos from their and one or two flyers .
galactica was good too @ york n-joi , slippmat & lime
, shades of rhythm ,terrorize , luigi , eddy richards ,
This is giving away my vintage and my history
But I was clubbing in 84
And had my first residency in a club by 85!!! (it was very hard to be a dj then too)
I was a club Dj before it was anyones ambition!! IT used be:
1. Fat blokes in Hawaian shirts who spoke in gravelly voices who had failed tomake it big with thier bands(or did not have enough talent to be one) and Nightclub DJ was the next best thing!!!
OR
2. Soul music fanatics who spent more money on ONE rare 7" single than they earned in a month of gigs - despite playing 5 nights a week all over the country (but mainly in Wigan)
I get a little embarrased talking about it - unless you catch me after a few "liveners" then I wont shut up about it ....(so AVOID me then)AND am saving it for the "book". Which will be started as soon as I can type AND use a spell checker !!!

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
Year younger than you Neil - didn't start til Konspiracy in September 1990.
That 'Wide' Back to 89 night at the Hac was a classic, I remember the place going fuckin' mental when the bassline from Future FJP came in.
Also remember some guy weaving across all 3 lanes of the M62 in front of us on the way home - no wonder you didn't enjoy it.
when i get time a'll up the flyer and some photos from it you still got any of the tapes from their .
