you could tell from the playlists of her bbc radio show. Late 05 all of a sudden she was totally into it all of a sudden.
dunno there's a danger with fetishising the local with this stuff rather than looking at the conservatism of how the club is regimented into a night time activity, a pleasure totally drip fed to us like victory gin.
That's why i am reappreciating the sobriety of the early detroit techno scene (lower middle class snobbishness notwithstanding) again. the fact is drugs become an end into themselves (weed included) and this turns the pleasure into a fascisoid control mechanism, oh as long as we have our poxy club it's all good.

Its one of the best things about this shithole. There was a decent dubstep scene here with no bullshit. Pretty good gender mix, loads of people just into the tunes. The same with jungle etc... its why DJ's loved to play here all through the 90s and on. Great, enthusiastic crowds, no politics, no snobbery.

I remember people saying the smoking ban changed the whole atmosphere at FWD.

This is spot on. Most of the time I was fucking bored.
anyway if blackdown is reading this i am not really talking about you frankly i couldn't give a primary school willie about your taste or mentality but more how you are defered to as an authority on this stuff, hence 'blackdown mentality.' so i got no beef with you m8. and some of your keysound tracks are still up my street from a dj perspecctive.

Didn't mean to come across as abusing martin or kode even. that wasn't my intention. my problem is i think too much in patterns so most genres of dance music are inevitably gonna get stale for me unless the work on the principle of reductions. this is what i meant by my mum and the chipmunk thing, not that you were against amusical values, but you don't have as much as a surgeon's approach to what you listen to.

full-tilt 4 to the floor speed garridge could be great though - in some ways just the perfect dance music - house + a bit of ruff
i voted 'hardcore' before i realised you were alowed vote for multiples and so it would have been hardcore/jungle/garage and i'd have vacillated about grime and maybe added it maybe not. fantastically exciting as it was in those early years it doesn't quite (at the moment anyway) stir the same feelings of affection. perhaps because i don't have the associations of great nights out as i do with the previous three.
grime wasn't really a club music was it, you'd go and see them perform, little mini rap concerts, lots of energy, but yeah not really that memorable. certainly not like going raving. it was music for pirates and for buying the 12s and then putting them on a cassette or a CD-R.
