Which was the best club back in the day?

[beesonthewhatnow]

Havok, Manchester. Nothing I've been to since has ever come even remotely close.

 

[Orang Utan]

I met Sean Mclusky(sic?) at Cargo about a year back.
He had ran Final Frontier at Club UK. I told him that it was a great club, but it nearly killed me (in a jokey way). His face fell as he explained that several people had died there.

I'm not sure if it was because the cool water taps were cut off though

I went from late 94 til it shutdown and always drank cold water from the taps. Was there when people died though, and on the night of the raid, and I was in the queue talking to some posh bloke boasting about how many Es he had and then he got arrested. Read in the paper that he was Tom Parker-Bowles

I didn't get into clubbing until my early 20s - actually like dub, i was much more of an indie/metal club and gigger type in my teens. Late 90s basically I got into raving.
Missed out on all the famous early 90s clubs though

Me too. Less metal & certainly no goth stuff though!

Didn't get into squat parties until I came to London and despite the fairly shitty scenes at the moment, that's still what I do mostly.

 

[Wintermute]

Kinetic, Stoke-on-Trent. Or Steam. Steam was fucking mental.

 

[Dj TAB]

Wherever a club dog / megadog happened was where it was at.....

 

[Relahni]

Plain one was nicer.

in your opinion!

Was that the red wrapper?

2 good 'uns there: Eurobeat 2000 & Trancentral (Zebedee was fucking brilliant )

 

[Reg in slippers]

EU2K was rather special

messy as nessy at tyssen st

megaT was occasionally brilliant but more often mediocre, faint echoes of shooom!

(Zebedee was fucking brilliant )

I met his dad once, looked just like him, but with hair

 

[Belushi]

Eurobeat 2000

That was a good night. And Megatripolis at Heaven and Sex, Love and Motion at the Soundshaft.

Khan I think his name was. Spoke to him quite a bit at the time, last time I saw him he was out of it at Hawkwind at the Academy.

 

[craigxcraig]

Deluxe in Nottingham, early/mid 90s.

 

[zeedoodles]

Different clubs for different reasons, nights and types of music

Here are a few that stick out for me though.

Starlights
Kinky Disco
Puscha
Love Ranch Saturday Maximus
Drum Club Thursday Sound Shaft
Lost Vox has to be there best venue
Sabersonic Happy Jax
Zap (Monday London night)

Far too many really to keep listing, for all different reasons.

 

[J77]

Where are these clubs you mention?

Is this a London thing?

Bristol: Trinity, Lakota, BCC and Black Swan - Lakota always seems to be closed down and reopened - I think Trinity and BCC has ceased to play your dancehall music - I hope the BS is still going...

 

[Blagsta]

House of God, Birmingham
Third Eye, Birmingham
and not forgetting the mighty CitriCity, Birmingham

 

[Belushi]

There are clubs outside of London now?!

 

[girasol]

I used to go to 'The Rocket' a lot, as it was (still is) just round the corner from me.


Don't really know any of the others (apart from fridge and dome, went there occasionally)

Does anyone remember 'Club Alien' - it used to happen at The Rocket every now and then

 

[Blagsta]

Zero Gravity

 

[chazegee]

Club Alien and Zero G

 

[Reg in slippers]

i think i might also reference more than a few drunken nights of mayhem at the electric ballroom

 

[sam/phallocrat]

I'm not that old

 

[girasol]

Electric Ballroom! Spent many nights there

and The Underworld too (and, of course, Camden Palace!)

 

[Reg in slippers]

also enjoyed giles/norman's acid jazz/rare groove at dingwalls
