[QUOTE="Man Alive, post: 368744, member: 2396"] Would also be interested to hear about how it was in the North East and Scotland 88-92, as not heard much. I remember 808 State going mental about a night they DJ'd at in Glasgow in '91 "2000 people in a tent", particularly about the reaction to Come Together. So Scots, Geordies, Mackems and Boro heads - how was it :D I never went further South than Stoke. Always got the feeling that, even in places like Leicester, it was more of a hardcore vibe. Liked all sorts, though, so wouldn't have been a problem for me :ghost: Even up here (Mcr) places like the Hippodrome had a repretation as being fairly hard. Can't forget, though, that the good old Balearic laid back vibe was mostly brought over to this country by good-old London fellas :thumbsup: Future-Shoom-Spectrum:thumbsup: Anyhow, while I've got my typing head on, here's some snippets of the insert, written by Graham Park, of the compilation "North - The Sound of the Dance Underground", released at the end of 1988 I'm not sure how fair it was to the South :ghost: :naughty: "It was the Summer of 1986 and clubs in London are rocking to the sound of East coast Hip Hop and Washington Go Go. Meanwhile, dancefloors 'North of Watford' (Especially in Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester) are crammed with people jacking to a new sound from Chicago called 'House', and for two years a different kind of North/South divide was established. Summer 1988 reads very differently with the whole nation rapidly becoming one jacking zone......but what of the North? The jacking continues more fervently than ever, the smileys and ecstasy are evident, but it's not just acid that's being played but all forms of house, and at the centre of it all is Manchester's Hacienda. For almost three years Friday's Nude night has been packed....like Hip Hop the genre is here to stay and will develop....in the North, the House scene resembles Northern Soul in terms of it's dedication and fanaticism...as long as House Music packs the dancefloors then the story of 'North' will continue..."
