[QUOTE="Phil, post: 71786, member: 508"] I'd always liked electro and electronica, (from early Hip Hop, to Beat Dis, Pump up the Volume n' Acid House when it hit over here), at that time we used to go to "shaz n' tracey" clubs, as we were only young, and didn't know that anything else existed!. My mate and I got really fed up with the whole pissed up lads out spoilin for a fight for looking at the wrong girl on the dancefloor etc, my mate had been started on that night by a group of lads from our old school, we were both a bit fed up and very pissed. We were coming home that night and spotted a (really crappy!) flyer for an event called "Bliss 91" at the Gallery (Leeds), boasting of a decent soundsystem / UV lights, Dayglo backdrops with top DJ's etc (John Kelly if memory serves). So, the week after we thought we'd check it out. Me and my mate were proper excited, didn't know what to expect at all though, s'pose you could say a little apprehensive!. We queued up and got in fairly early, people in the queue were talking to each other and dancing on the spot, we got in and ran upstairs like excited children, the music was awesome, never heard anything like it, upbeat pianoey house. The atmosphere was brilliant, such a difference from what we were used to. No hassle or attitudes, everyone was chatting to each other n' smiling, it was so friendly, people were hugging and stuff (didn't realise why until a few weeks later!) - after a few drinks and attempts at mimicing the dance moves around us, I can vividly remember at around 11:00 the lights went off and Steve (Luigi) dropped this really wierd record, full of whispy synths n' noises getting louder and fading, gradually increasing, the room was pumped with dry ice and then the lights came on as the harder tunes started, the place went 'kin mental...literally exploded, everyone was going for it like there was no tomorrow, everyone punching the air, people walking around the room dancing, it didn't matter what you were wearing, what you looked like, it was just amazing, never known anything like it. It was electric. From that day on I knew we'd found something special, something that will be with me forever. After going week in week out for about six weeks, I got chatting to a lad I used to know from school, he asked what I was on, (and I didn't have a clue - so innocent me y'see!), he handed me something with a smile on his face, and told me to enjoy myself even more.... that night I realised what was really going on!!!!!... and the rest as they say, is history!... Over the next four years that club became my second home, met some ace people and had the best times of my life in there. ;) Thanks for the thread Jimmy!!! [/QUOTE]
