    Good stuff felixdhc!

    I never made through the doors of the Asylum either but have been to the Temple of Sound of quite a number of occasions. ;)

    I am a bit like yourself. I met my wife in the Globe one Sunday after a big night. We started chatting (I was still flying) and agreed to go on a date.

    Shortly after she became pregnant. She was only on a years working visa so I decided that I would get a permanent visa to go to Australia. We had our second daughter 5 months ago and I haven't been back to the ol' sod in 5 years or haven't touched X since. :(

    Next time I go back to Dublin I should get my brother to put on an event playing all those old house / techno tracks from his nights in the Ormond Multi Media Centre, Shaft, Purple Onion and other places. He has been in San Francisco for the past 8 yrs but is back in Dublin now.

    I should really set up some fund to get a homesick lad back for his meds and a dose of doof doof...

    :cool:

    Ha - jesus this is mad. I just put a search in on Google to see if anything was out there about the best club ever SIDES and look what I got - A bunch of headcases that were there in the day. Seems like some of you literally have it down to a t.

    I used to go to SIDES in 1992 - on and was the best time of my life. Used to go to The Olympic then down to SIDES and then on to the Asylum or sometimes G1's. Anybody remember that place (up over the ice skating place in Phibsboro)? The good old days or maybe the bad. I really think I came out the other side in good shape as alot of people I know died from drugs etc.

    Anyway - I'm still raving and having a good time at the minute. Current place of wondering is The Pod which is rockin' at the minute with the POGO/Bodytonic crowd.

    If anybody is interested I have all the tapes Mick Walsh & Pat Hyland made from Sides/Gavity. Sound is ****e though but there you go.

    As for Mick Walsh - he is doing some nights here and there. He is playing Austria next month aswell!!

    As for growing up and having kids ect...it has to be done but you can still have a good time in the process and get out for a good dance!!! :):)

    RAVE ON PEOPLE!!!!


    Reckon I have the biggest collection of flyers from the early 90's too. Anybody have a ticket for the rave in the castle in 1991?!? Thought not! :):)

    Was the "Heaven On Earth" Rave in the Point in 92/93 not the first big rave here? The Prodigy were the headline act.

    Any chance you can find out a track listing from an old tape he did? It was and still is one of my favourite old mixes. It was from around '94 or '95 and had these tracks on it: (these are random, not in this order on the mix)

    Eat Static - Lost in Time
    Finitribe - Brand New (Sourmash Mix)
    Pump Panel - Ego Acid (floatation mix) - this was the last track on the mix
    Boomerang - Damn Tuff EP (think it was the track, Inner Space from the B Side - cant go checking now as records in a mess at the moment!)
    Emmanuel Top - Acid Phase
    Phax Feat Steve Bug - Tritop Remix
    Infinity Project - Stimuli

    These are the only tracks I got names of over the years and picked up on vinyl. Would love to know the rest! Would also be interested in hearing his new stuff.

    I heard Warren's track he done there the year before last the 'Bo Selecta' tune.......I thought it was deadly. Not sure what he done with it after that.

    Give you a laugh.....two fellas I know got NR:GEX and a Dove tattooed on their arms in 1993. We used to all hang around with Mick, Pat, Warren, Jay Carey & Caf. :) Only one of the tattooed is alive now I wonder if he got it covered up or left it! :)

    Would LOVE to get to hear some of those mixes as well if any of them are around...

    Especially the Ed Case and Pressure ones.

    Used to buy a load of those tapes from Music Power and Abbey Discs (the original one in the Abbey Mall), but over the years, have managed to lose them all. :confused:

    Nice one..

    That's hilarious! I was there too and ended up back out on Malahide beach with a rake of people, same deal no music but everyone dancing! hehe! Just got really misty eyed reading this thread, favorites were the Olympic (was there ever a night it didn't get raided or is that dodgy memories playing tricks?) and Sides (apart from one night we got bottled just before we went in by a bunch of scumbags who'd just been refused, good ole bouncers though, picked up the end of one of the broken bottles and handed it to me saying get up there and slit that p*icks throat! :rolleyes: ). Temple of Sound was good too, never seemed to make it down the Asylum though the memories of years 90 thru 93 are slightly patchy in places :D

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭dSTAR


    Nice one keenc!

    The first track 'Beautful Morning' reminds me of a party I was at on Dame Street about ten years ago. It was put on at about 7am when everyone was off their noggins or passed out. It was one of those tunes that got everyone off their feet...

    How could I ever forget this stuff?

    I really regret having never gone to the Asylum

    I gotta tell you - if you enjoyed the TOS the Asylum would probably not have been up your street. Truth be told it was a rough kip - all the crap that was happening in Sides towards the end wasn't much compared to an average night the Asylum. I know some people would probably disagree - but for me it was very much a spot of last resort. No reflection on the djs though - especially Warren K - top notch.

    Keenc, I don't suppose you have any of the old Pressure mixes, specifically the House Pressure series, and even more specifically House Pressue 6? Or the Asylum Special?
