    This is very true as well.......

    Many feel that the “superclub” explosion of the mid to late 1990s sucked the heart and soul out of their scene, so they prefer the idealistic house music of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

    That looks like a laugh. Most of my mates are in their early 30's and all we're looking for is a place that plays decent tunes like back in the day.
    I always get a great response from people when I play the classic tracks off vinyl. Good to see it coming full circle.

    Too true... Superclubs can be horrible, soulless places. It's all about raving it up in a small dingy club for me!

    When are you moving to Leeds? Sasha and Digweed are playing there on the 24th of May. Even though I'm doing exams at the time I'm seriously contemplating heading over to see the masters, its a must.

    Surely, "the classics" is a relative term. As a dj at mostly house parties now, I'm asked constantly for "classics", so I'd play LFO "LFO", Tricky Disco "House Fly", Stakker "Humanoid", Nitro Deluxe "Let's Get Brutal", Aphex Twin "Didgeridoo"...
    Then I'm told "they're not classics"!!!!
    So I say, "what are classics"???
    Most respond with, "oh the stuff they used to play in the Pod/Shaft in the early nineties"
    and I say "oh handbag house"!!!
    I'm not being smart here but the term "classics" is irrelevant in a general context because it means different music to different people.

    Generally in Dublin you have the same say 20 odd tunes that would be deemed as Sides/Asylum/Olympic/POD/Shaft,etc,etc classics, the tunes you mentioned wouldn't really fall into that bracket but i cam see where your coming from.

    There have been occasions ive played 91-93 UK hardcore at a party in Dublin at some people have said "jaysus what type of music is that" they'd never heard it (Eastern Europeans) but they loved it, it all depends on the situation and the crowd.

    The "older clubbers" still listening to what they listened to when they were younger is nothing strange in Europe - at trance events in Holland you get people who were clearly teenagers when the scene started there - 15 years ago - still going along now. At Trance Energy there was a group of women who were dolled up to the nines, probably for their one night out of the year!
