[QUOTE="Barrie Jay, post: 459400, member: 1163"] When the Highland Room at Blackpool Mecca closed one of the resident dj`s - Ian Levine - (Take That and other shitty boy band producer) who had moved on from Northern Soul to Disco and Hi NRG started a residency at Angels. This was around the time the club first opened (I thought 72 but with my memory I`ll agree with 73). He had been influenced by the New York gay clubbing scene on his frequent trips to the USA searching for northern soul tunes. It was the first club I had ever been to where the dj did not talk and whilst he did not quite get the idea of beat matching he used to play a lot of American 12" singles (I can still recall seeing my first one - what a novelty !!) and `blended` them together over the beat breaks using all different mixes and kept the music flowing all night without a break. For me he was, genuinely, the first guy to do this ever in the UK - back in 73 and way ahead of his time. Interestingly Shaboo lasted just 5 Thursdays and 6 Saturdays and I went to every sinlge night. Warehouse atmosphere in a club. Simply brilliant. [/QUOTE]
