August 18th - Worthing: Yikes & Dance '90

Fronted by Berkshire DJ and organiser Marvin Connor, his Yikes! organisation has been regularly packing out the Slough Centre in Slough, Berkshire to bursting point since it's inception a couple of years ago.

 

Marvin replaced his intimate and cosy sweatbox in Berkshire for the fresh sea breeze [ and another sweatbox ] when he moved his operation eighty miles down south to co-host a party with the "other" Dance '90 at Sterns nightclub in Worthing, west Sussex.

August 31st - Longton: Delight

This August, the weekends are fully booked-up in the potteries as another non-local party organisation launches their creation "Delight" at Shelley's laserdrome in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

 

The first few weeks of Delight's new residency in a foriegn county turns out to be very positive for the promotional team from Manchester, but their tenure really picks up when they intstall a resident, an relatively experienced northern circuit DJ called Sasha.

 

In the following weeks, Alexander Coe, a former telesales operator of welsh descent will give his new open-minded audience something they hadn't heard before. The normally dull fridays nights at Shelley's are suddenly elevated by Sahsa's unique blend of Italian house anthems, accapellas and DJ skills honed at Manchester's Hacienda and the long-running Blackburn parties.

September 1st - London: Kiss FM

Times have truely changed in as one of top pirate radio stations in London, Kiss FM station crosses the commercial border to become the first legal dance music station in the UK.

 

Silent for a couple of years in a bid to complete their legal transition, patience is a virtue for the bosses at the station when the DTI awards the station a coveted radio broadcasters license for the second time of asking.

 

Transmitting to London and the surrounding counties and going head-to-head with it's more established and bigger rival at Capital FM, Kiss FM's main objective is to attract their "bread-and-butter" listenership with their upbeat daytime progammes and at night with their nightime programming.

 

And to transmit a varied selection of dance music by making use of the plethora of specialist artists they have on their burgeoning DJ rosta.

 

 

 

September 22nd - Ryton-On-Dunsmore: Amnesia House

The end of this month signals the end of an era for the crew at Coventry's Amnesia House, as they host their sixth and final party at the Sky Blue Connexion in Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Warwickshire.

 

The tragic events that took place near their venue haven't gone un-noticed, the local authorities swiftly renege on their "business transaction" and close down the popular venue.

 

An all-star DJ line-up featuring Frankie Bones, Andy Carroll, Grooverider, Top Buzz, Keith Suckling plus residents Doc Scott and Dobbo bring down the curtain to conclude a colourful second chapter in the "Amnesia House Story".

 

 

 

September 28th - Plymouth: Alfa

Down in the south-west, there has been whispers of an new party organisation that will be bidding for the affection of it's locals.

 

Stepping on the toes of Mark Bhattachary's Wasp Factory at the Warehouse on Union Street - Jan Lang, Alan Whitta and their new cohorts set-up their shop within shouting distance of their rivals at the Academy in Plymouth, Devon.

 

Jan, Alan and their new creation "Alfa" followed a different route and side-stepped the traditional view of the "normal" conventional parties, to debut with a range of fresh and exciting ideas.

 

In the days leading up to their first party, the team spent a lot of time to completely transform their new home base into an entertaining circus-like spectacle with mime artists, fire eaters and jugglers!.
