Ahhh DiY, Strictly4Groovers ๐Ÿ˜€ and still playing out

We had some fun after school rides when a sound system set itself up in our local 'deep-house' forestry sometime summertime 1991 and stayed there for about a week...

@Yunki

it was my kadett. lime green with alloys!

I remember a bloke at Castlemorton selling 'hippy headf*cks for 50p' and a load of nutters on acid jumping off the top of the quarry in to the lake. It was one of the best free parties i've ever been to, actually the best......complete madness!! That sort of stuff does not happen anymore....if it does it costs heaps and is probably crap

good times indeed.. what a magical summer.. there was a genuine feeling for a few months that we were going to take over the world..

thinking back I think that Toby's kadett was actually a chevette..!

Had some good times in manchester, then went on to promote a club in stoke on trent, that turned out to be legendary.

Happy days with rhubarb and custards, phase 4,s green demons and white biscuits, and lets not forget about dennis the menace.

Lights up, soaked through and exhausted, how we ended some of the best nights:

I didn't really like the music '91-'93. Things started perking up in '94. '95 was a good year.

How did I miss this thread first time around??

Got loads and loads of mp3 from 88-95, about 16 gig worth.

That Quadrant Park clip was a real blast from the past and dev's post summed it all up.

Wandering around Sett End waiting to find out where the next warehouse party was going to be..... Happy happy days, which I wouldn't change for the world.

Any Shaboo, eureka and Zone (at jenks) go'ers here, there is a reunion on the 7th July in Blackpool.

Interestingly I think that every generation has their defining moments, times that shape who they are. Anyone see that they are making a film about Wigan Casino at the moment ?

I went to the Zone once. That was definitely a small crowd capability venue! We came over, stayed in a B&B to see what it was like, very underground feel. I remember finding DS at the bar, back to the room drinking pints. The way things went though, a lot of us gravitated naturally to Uprising in Sheffield, starting with Sugar Cubes in Lincoln and then the move to the Adelphi in Attercliffe. We'd been regulars at Donny Warehouse, broke it up with visits to Dizstruxshon, Gallery, some of the larger gigs which weren't as personal. Spent a good year at U4RIA though, closed down in the end for being a brothel, right?

Best nights, days, weekends of my life, fanfu*kintastic. Shame they can never be relived and thats mainly because doves and snowballs arent like they used to be, nothing quite like a club full of e'd up kids loving it all up, todays kids havent got a clue!

Anybody got any clips from Quad II? Now that was a venue, shady as f*ck but best place ever.

If I had one wish it would be to revisit those times, soooooo glad I was there and experienced it.

Some good tunes posted up, will add a couple to the collection.

A U4RIA (hard house club) anthem:

First heard this in the Gallery (Leeds):

I remember when it hit the charts they didn't press enough copies and it reached number 2 in the charts here and just disappeared which was awful at the time. It should have reached more people.

Forgot to mention that I lived in Longton for 2 years whilst at Staffs Poly.....Entropy was a stones throw away as was Shellys, spoilt for choice but Entropy always won then off to the top of the hill in Heron Cross.

Got to stop, getting too emotional knowing they cant be relived!!

Ventured to a couple of reunions and although quite good they cant come close tot he original nights.

Hazydays in Liverpool Zanzibar used to be a scream a few years ago, a complete dive but great tunes. Marshall Jefferson even turned up one night, a fantastic set!

Rock fm om sunday nights 7 - 10pm definitely worth a listen to, brings out the goose bumps!!
