This scene is still my staple diet of music, avid collector of the stuff. Im stuck in a time warp, just didn't think any of you lot would of liked it? But coming from London most of you would of experienced it
Love chopping up breakbeats & slapping that classic Korg M1 Piano that they used to use on Rave tracks like
no one mentioned satalite, strawberrysundaes, sw1, peach, caqmdempalace,bagleys,.. proper good times,
SW1 was the first "proper" nightclub I ever went to in London, Christ it was a sh!tehole in there & there was some old bloke selling sweets in the toilets. Freudian sounding comment there I'll grant you, but there was an actually an old man with a table set up selling sweets & stuff in the toilets. Peach @ The Camden Palace was awful, absolute cheesefest full of the worst suburban clubbers you could imagine, Bagleys wasnt the greatest club either, but a pretty amazing place looking back on it, it was a genuinely underground venue with character & its much posher, snobbier cousin, The Cross next door. The Rocket on Holloway Road was a pretty amazing place, I went to a Desire rave there & the soundsystem was too big / loud for the size of the venue it was held in, ridiculous.

Roy the Roach. Yellow Submarine. Paradise. The first happy house Friday night all nighter I came across in London. Used to go all the time. Plenty recovery time before Monday morning.
It was funny going to bogs as it was all cool, groovy, funky downstairs but the bogs were upstairs when the junglists were raving their nuts off. It was mayhem up there. Booyakah!! RRRRRRREEEWIND!!!!!!
Then there were the lost weekends at the Leisure Lounge where they'd fo from Friday evening all the way through to night with a brief closure at one point for legal resons I presume. You had to go outside at at abouy 10am IIRC for half and hour then you could go back in. I remember being on the dancefloor in there one Sunday morning watching the London marathon being projected on the wall.
Used to love the cab ride back over Waterloo Bridge from the Minisrty at 8am on a sunny Sunday morning.
And in later years nipping down to Lazy Dog in the Notting Hill Arts club on a Sunday afternoon to get another six hour fix of house.

Happy days.
Club Labryrinth in Dalston was a great place to be, had some great nights there. I wasnt a pill popper but bloody hilarious to see people off their nut.
Not knowing if your car would still be round the corner early morning was sobering though! A bonus if it was there, then a very quiet drive through central london at sunrise listening to kiss fm "chillout zone"

I dont remember sw1 being shabby. I think that bloke in the toilets was selling deodrant, think its pacha now.Strawberrie sundaes at Cloud 9 Was a shabby venue but great night, used to come out of there 7am looking like Gollum that lives in a drain.
Did anyone list to Girls FM? Used to get the cabbies to tune into in on the way to and from various clubs.
"Girls FM. Whether in your house or in the car Girls FM is the sound of Summer 1992. Girls FM FM FM FM.......".
"Big shout out to the HMP massive".
"Shout out to all the crew in Wathamstow. In the Stow. Sweeeeeeet".
They ran some good nights in Bagleys, too.
Girls Fm was the dogs b8llox of pirate radio stations used to know Huckleberry Fin through a mate of mine Remember their Do's at Bagleys top nights !!

Touchdown was another good one, still got loads of tapes of that in a box, can't bring myself to get rid even though I don't actually have a tape player these days

Paul, it's a pleasure. Outside of the crowd I used to hang out with at the time I don't think I've EVER come across anyone who knows what I'm talking about when I mention Girls FM.

That's really made my weekend.
Girls FM was a quality quality station
I'm the wrong side of 40 now but still listen to pirate stations ahead of all the other commercial dross Will tune into Passion Fm (Huck Finn still plays on there and I DJ'd with him many moons ago) and also Point Blank all the time
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

Aye,used to love girls fm. Got plenty of tapes, can still hear the jingle " Ty Holden on Girls fm"'.
Passion has some good dj's on, The Reverend, and that nutter Nat Lee who i only thought done all the adverts on other pirate ragga stations, then one afternoon i hear him playing some upfront dance stuff, i didn't know that was his scene.
Pointblank, Ice cold and Unknown Fm all worth a decent mention as well.
