Yeah the dark sinister tunes were the ones i think made the club special and unique.Warrens new year eve mix 93'94 is the best example of that type of moody hard trance and tough house music.The set reads like a whos who of the best ninetys trance,starting with brainchild,then l'esperanza,cj bolland mantra,sunshower seven,paragliders,virtual symmetry,resistance d o conga,empoirion narcotic influence,the list gos on,warren at his best pure evil.

He did indeed and we are not likely to hear them again on a oldskool night as most of the tunes that do get played have been played to death at this stage.
Ya might get the odd tune here and there, but generally each mix ya hear or download will be similar regarding the tunage.
Fair enough they are oldskool nights and your gonna get them tunes blasted out and ya might of indulged in something and bounce around the place anyway. And of course the dj will have mixed them well etc , am not doubting their skills.
But be nice to hear a dj not play it safe for once and take control not with crowd pleasers but with a well thought out set of dark underground tunes or just something different for a change.
Whats the point in spending all your money on discogs or whatever and keeping the tunes on the shelf and play Tribal Church every night.
So many tunes here that i have'nt heard on a night out yet

Good to see Reactive getting Jon the Dentist in and Rejuvenation had Billy Nasty play in Radio City so hope its the sign of things to come.
Rant over

A mate of mine was livin over in Glasgow and was always on the about the massive raves over there, so had to give one a shot. Wasnt disappointed

Yeah, Glasgow is a great spot, the bhoys are mad over there.

I lived in Paisley, just outside Glasgow for a few years while in Uni towards the end of the 90's. There was (still is I think) a real dark, little underground club in Paisley, Club 69, that I went to a few times. Paisley is one dodgy town, it had a police curfew when I was there due to the amount of violence (nothing to do with me). And club 69 was in one of the worst spots, it's under an Indian resturaunt and the resturaunt is in the middle of a housing estate on a bit of waste ground, the location reminds me of the house in "Fight Club" It was as close to Sides DC that I've been in, it reminded me of downstairs in Sides mixed with the couch area of the Ormond MMC. The club never advertised, it was word of mouth. Most Friday nights they usually had some DJ playing that was in town to play a top club on the Sat.
Anyway here are a few comments quotes about the club I found on the net, theres not much out there about it,

I canny believe nabuddy has mentioned CLUB 69 aka Rocksy's Basement. This truly underground club hides itself under th Koh-I-Noor Indian restuarant, in prolly one of the most dark and inhospistable streets in Paisley. Don't worry yerself though, it is attended by some of the finest characters yer ever likely to meet, and also some of the worlds finest performers. This venue/club has a worldwide following and for my money is the best club in Scotland if not the UK, its sweat stained walls tell the tales of a thousand strobe induced spasms. The atmosphere is second to none, cold yet warm damp yet dry, quite yet noisy, dark yet light. I can't put into words just how amazing this club is, go to it any saturday night when the Rub-A-Dub boys are playing and you will see, your eyes will open, leave ALL pretensions at the door and prepare to shake yer ass, 1989 stylee.
Cant beleive no-one has mentioned club 69, undoubtably THE best underground dance club Paisley, especially foresight and rub-a-dub, going now for 7 years and known by DJ's everywhere, from scotland to Detroit. It is for those that are into dancing getting sweaty and jumping to anything that is different and musically technical. Guarantees a night of no-hassle, no-fighting .. just luv xx

If your going to Glasgow, get to Club69.

Cheers,
Mick

tunes like the above got played in the asylum regular sure when it first opened it was a hardcore club but the best music that got played in there was some of the real dark sinister progressive house/trance that you dont hear on any of the tapes :eek:

Best set of underground tunes i have heard in a long time by far was Oct 2005 in the temple bar music centre....not one track i had heard before & i would presume they were all new tracks being spun for over 3 hours by Mr. C from the Shamen....now i know what everybody thinks when they hear the Shamen...:pac:Ebeneezer good:pac:....but i sh.it you not this was just like the tunes your talkin about that were banged out in the ASYLUM on the bottom floor....no gig since the ASYLUM has ever come close to sounding like the buzz Mr. C made in the place....the tunes he plays are being classed as 'Underground-Electro-Acid-House' or 'Tech-House'
http://www.outlar.com/artist.php?id=183
And again i didnt recognise one of them & they were all really underground feeling off them....not fast but a consistent sinister bass line & beat through the entire set. Couldnt recommend a gig by him more if you want that 'Dark, sinister, subtly menacing progressive tech house' or whatever you want to call it....all i know is its the best gig i have been at since the ASYLUM shut:cool:

DUB1 · 23-09-2008 04:57PM

Also,
I haven't been to a club in years and I've been dying to get to one of these old skool nights - all I need is the release papers from the wife for the night:rolleyes:

Yep when i think about it now most weekends started off with a pocket full of Dots n Doves:pac: Friend of mine used to shift a lot of the former & gave us bags of Dot Dust, like a gram of lou reed but it was crushed Dots......but it was Paul who made the suggestion of a Halloween gig not I.....Im away to the sun for the end of October so i wont be attending if a gig is on the cards......im sure there is no need to say this but....Hush Hush about it on here if it is to be a gig of the unlicenced variety with flexi closing times & full 8am bar extension as long as the locals dont mind:D

Since you mentioned Dots, have a read of this extract from a book called 'The doors of perception' where the band the Doors took their name from....i know its a bit off the subject of this thread but sure its a insight into Hallucinagenics; Namely Mescalin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mescaline

From the French window I walked out under a kind of pergola covered in part by a climbing rose tree, in part by laths, one inch wide with half an inch of space between them. The sun was shining & the laths made a zebra like pattern on the ground & across the seat & back of the garden chair, which was standing at this end of the pergola. That chair- shall I ever forget it? Where the shadows fell on the canvas upholstery, stripes of a deep but glowing indigo alternated with stripes of an incandescence so intensely bright that it was hard to believe that they could be made of anything but blue fire. For what seemed an immensely long time I gazed without even knowing, even without wishing to know, what it was that confronted me. At any other time I would have seen a chair with alternate light & shade. Today the percept had swallowed up the concept. I was so completely absorbed in looking, so thunderstruck by what I actually saw, that I could not be aware of anything else. Garden furniture, laths, sunlight, shadow – these were no more than names and notions, mere verbalizations, for utilitarian or scientific purposes, after the event. The event was this succession of azure furnace doors separated by gulfs of unfathomable gentian. It was inexpressively wonderful, wonderful to the point, almost, of being terrifying. And suddenly I had an inkling of what it must feel like to be mad.

Dont mess with the mescaline:pac::D:eek:

Pablo I was only talking to a mate late week about organising something.
Renting out one of the rooms in the Vaults. I know the owner, my mate done it before so he would know all the ins and outs. I would ask You to do a set on the decks, I was talking about trying to contact Cliffy (X Asylum Resident) and my mate who is tooled up with all the equipment. Alternative Asylum Nite! Then rent a set of lazers, on your credit card,

Hey presto.
However since I am serious about this it couldn't be pulled off this side of Halloween but I think with some phone calls try and get it this side of Crimbo.
At least it would be above board so no boys in blue....................

Had a look at the youtube pics. I wonder did you ever know a bloke called Mano from Arthur Griffith Park, Lucan. He was a proper skin head. Used to buzz with him in the Olympic and at house sessions after on many a night, dead sound bloke.

Paddy, isn't that a first track on one of the Pressure tapes? Not sure which one but if it is the same track I know where your coming from, pure class and have very vivid memories of hearing it in Asylum on many a night.
