March
March - London: Shoom Club As a result of their move and the rapid ascension of their club night, Jenni Rampling has to adopt a strict and somewhat controversial door policy.
With Jenni having to refuse entry to as many people as she could physically let in to the venue, there is still one little problem - there's more people dancing outside in the street than inside the club!.

March - National: Joe Smooth If you coud pick any record that could truly sum up the atmopshere and feeling surrounding the infant acid house scene at this moment in time and Joe Smooth's "Promised Land" would be right at the top of anyones playlist, and most particulary those attending the Shoom club.
In that very brief moment in time, tribal, political, territorial, racial and monetary differences are put to one side for a few hours as people of all ages, colours, creeds, towns, cities got together to dance, smile, talk, share and hug each other - unheard of in the "stiff-upper-lip-bulldog-spirit" culture.

March - London: RIP P*ssed off with the state of affairs, organisers Paul Stone and Lu Vukovic started hosting "Rave In Peace".
The prime directive of RIP was to provide a harder edged party - devoid of commercial pop records that was the staple of early house parties.
RIP was very unique as they took place within a huge labyrnth-like warehouse space at Clink Street in south-east London.
Dancing on the site of Britain's first mens prison, clubbers saw RIP residents Kid Batchelor, Eddie Richards, Mr C and Colin Faver play their own brand of deep, dark and diverse acid house music -
to a very diverse crowd ranging from the hardened east-end gangster in tailored made-to-measure suits to hippies, casuals and clubbers in flares and shell suits. Mr C is citied to have played the first full acid house set at RIP.

April
April - London: RIP Every good action causes a even better reaction for partners Paul Stone, Lu Vukovic's and those who are partying hard at "RIP".
Just after a full month of steady business, London's insatiable demand for acid house persuades them to start hosting another night at Clink Street in south-east London. With a slight tweek of the schedule, the organisers moved their "A-Transmission" parties from saturdays to fridays and began hosting their "Zoo" parties on sundays.
