[QUOTE="lastnightadj, post: 368780, member: 497"] Down here (Bournemouth) it was pretty much House & Balearic bizznizz until 1990 - then the harder Beltramesque/R&S sounds kicked in and it went a bit hardcore (not to my taste at the time) then at the tail end of 1990/early 1991 some alternative house clubs popped up playing the full on piano sound (DJH/FPI/Double Dee/Congress/Electric Choc/SBAM/Francesco Zapella etc) - this lasted until late 1991 when the more "Progressive" sounds started to dominate -ending up with that Renaissance type vibe being big - and also the quality techono started to get a foothold - but I would say that there was not really anyone playing full on piano after sep 1991 - then by 1992 I remember this DJ moved down from Newcastle and he could not believe the piano tunes we were playing and comparing the tunes we were playing to what Sasha was playing (who TBH was at that point pretty much unheard of) A lot of that piano vibe was imported from the Flying clubs - a lot of the DJs we had coming down were from that camp - Rocky & Diesel/Scott James etc etc Flying was playing and selling a lot of piano in London at that time - with it being briefly trendy at the same time - late 90/early 1991 - but by the summer it was pretty uncool to be honest and things seemed to move on to a more garage (think Tony Humphries) and progressive style - there was even an issue of The Face in spring 1991 that documented the Flying scene and mentioning the "Piano scream-ups" they were playing A lot of this came as a reaction to the more Balearic slow vibe (think Short Film About Chilling) that had come about as a reaction to the "acid ted" mentality of the orbital raves of 1989 - people had got bored of the "mooch" and wanted to party full on again Even Weatherall played a lot of piano tunes during this short period - notoriously being the 1st person in London to play DJ Professor/Francesco Zapella We're Gonna Do It :) - he even wrote the sleevenotes for the Sueno album on BCM - professing his love for the genre ..... didn't last long as by 1992 he had moved onto a more techno sound (think 4 Jazz Funk Classics by Carl Craig) and developing the Sabres of Paradise sound.
