I first got in2 the acid / rave scene as a young lad when i came across a programme on UTV Granada called The Hit Man & Her around the end of 1988 im sure , hosted by Pete Waterman from PWL Records & Michaela Strachan , which i must admit at the time i had the hots for her .. ha ha lol , does anybody remember Slyvester the Black dancer they had on the show , and also the dance off's they would have , half way through , people getting up and making complete ejits of themselfs , so funny when ye look at it today , also remember them doing a show from The Elicpse in Coventry im sure , Carl Cox & Dj Phantasy was playing that night , Pete & Michaela , mashed off there faces , sweating like there was no to moro .. ha ha lol .. Cox droped Terrorize - Just a Feeling that night on Hamster ,, Quality it was ... hearing such acts as D- Mob , N-Joi , Guru Josh , SOR , Inner City , True Faith , Tompson Twins , Black Box , S- Express , MARRS , Mantronix etc etc ,, where just the stepping stones for me to come , also MTV Party Zone / Chill Out Zone were two cool programmes on around same time for anybody old enough to remember when MTV played good music , ha ha , BPM follow on from Hit Man & Her , which was cool aswell but not as good as The Hit Man & Her tho .

To my first trip to the Olympic to the Ormond , Subterainea , SFX , etc etc ,,, to the events run in The Point , from Carl Cox , Goldie , Orbital , Prodigy , and who remembers Dance Nation 95 ??? im sure it was the last time Mark & Timmy played togearther as the Soundcrowd ??,, il allways remember that summer of 95 ? it was so hot , after it , 100's of people ended up on Sandymount / Ringsend Beach , radio's & illegals on the ready and people having the time of there life ..what i would give to be back there just for a while , young innocent and not a care in the ....ing world ..
