July 10th - Morley: The Orbit

Those Yorkshire folk are going all out again to make it a memorable night for the Orbit as they celebrate two years at The Afterdark in Morley near Leeds. From the begining of this year, the organisers took the brave decision to change the direction of their club by adopting a new music policy - hardcore is dead as techno is the new pilot of this ship.

 

Orbit do mean business as they recruit party animal, Sven Vath and the Aphex Twin to headline this special occassion. Even with a strict door and music policy like the Orbit's, it seems that they are not ready for the Aphex Twin as the crowd stood around in amazement wondering what he was up to!.

 

 

 

 

July - National: Hypnosis

Television station Channel 4 is about to get the clubbing buzz as they start to air Hypnosis, a brand new dance and rave music show. As part of the show Hypnosis toured around the country, seeking out well-known nightclubs as part of the show's theme.

 

Always out for pushing the boundries, Channel 4's Hypnosis has a continuous guest DJ mix throughout the show, a first for terrestrial TV - But... The soundtrack becomes the shows downfall as it made a majority of the interviews with the DJ's and other guests inaudible to hear!.

August 12th - London: Rage

After four years of contiunous midweek clubbing, therefore making it the longest running club in the UK, plus the odd away day from their home patch... Promoters, friends and DJ's Fabio and Grooverider finally call it a day as Rage holds their last rave at Heaven Nightclub in central London. Two Bad Mice's "Waremouse" gets the responsibility of been the last record ever played in anger at the venue...

 

 

 

August 13th - Warminster: Universe

Despite the problems with the local authorities, non-stop rain in the days leading up to the event, last minute stage adjustments and a huge attempt to drasticly cut costs, Paul Shurey and Ian Jenkninson from Universe stay upbeat and prove that Big Love could be just as busy as their previous encounters with a reasonable 14,500 ticket holding guests at Lower Pertwood Farm near Warminster, Wiltshire.

 

Brave safe aside, the Big Love event fails to break even as they needed another eight thousands guests through the gates to help cover Universe's spiralling production costs.

 

Resting on their laurels, Universe's insistance to educate their following and push house and techno, culminated with their previous event "The Time Machine" in Bath - their first loss-making event. Coupled with their lost revenue and resources from the aborted Tribal Gathering in the San Francisco, [ which had to be cancelled due to their backer pulling out at the last minute ] plus the alleged "poli-tricks" played on them by other organisers, Universe are now in serious trouble.
