Yeah man without a doubt. Have said it before my favourite line up was always WarrenK, Ed Case, Liam Dollard and Francois. Never in the Asylum unfortunately. Raging I never made that place.

I remember one night Warren did the whole night in The Ormonde. Couple of nights after NYE so place was fairly empty. Still, I was off my tits and had a great night. First time I heard Daft Punks Rollin and Scratchin. That track stopped me in my tracks. Had to call him down from the turntables to find out wtf is that amazing track. Still a favourite to this very day.

Another great gig was a NYE rave in a Garage down near the 5 lamps on Amien St. On till 7 or 8 AM. Warren Wrecked the place that night. Spoke to him in The Waterfront or something a few nights after. He wasn't playing there, just raving like the rest of us. Told him monster set at the Garage party and he replied "Was I any good, I can't fookin remember that I was off me head":pac::D

He was a sound bloke it has to be said and IMO (and I know others on here think the same) definitely the best of that era. Though the others mentioned above came pretty damn close

Never had the pleasure to talk to any of the legends from bitd (apart from talking to Caf & Jay here or on YT ,) I never spoke to any of the DJ's back in the day,was always out of it and fully immersed in the night lol but never thought it was "cool" , to be honest with ya I didnt go out for the DJ's (at first) it was always about the tunes n having a great night but the more i went out the more I began to like one DJ from another, for me it was Warren hands down,man he never dissapointed,mind you many didnt,I remember Dilly playing savage sets,Pressure ,J Carey tearing the roof off manys a night,Dollard,etc etc the list goes on ,all greats and i'm sure all sound as, bang on, down to earth , as Tim Nicebutdim might say "thoroughly nice blokes" ,after all their just blokes that love the scene same as us (albeit with savage skills on the 1's n 2's who got to play at the legendary spots bitd)

But I've also been to many a private party where unknowns (or bedroom DJ's) absolutely nailed it....one in particular who went on to be a "warm up" DJ in The System ..."JOC" ,another been a friend of mine "Cal" and even these days listening to some of the lads sets that get put up here,cracking stuff,my good m8 Es Cee puts a savage set together,bilko does the biz too,as do many of us (i use "us" losely - i cant mix for toffee!!:o)

I tip my cap to everyone of us here n beyond that took the 1's n 2's as their instrument , to the guys beyond the DJ working the sound system,the lights etc,to everyone out there keeping the era alive,keeping vinyl alive and to those that went onto the next generation (CDJ's) , personally i cant take to them,they're great,fookin hell they're amazing,never thought I'd see anything like them n never thought I'd see oldskoolers using them but suppose thats the sign of the times and progression , for an oldfart like me it'll always be "put the needle on the record" ....

And on that note: R.I.P. Technics SL1200/1210's - recent news of the cessation of production saddened me , suppose another sign of the times.....I wonder will Stanton / Vestax cease on the vacancy? or some new player , i hear murmurings that the Akiyama Acura DJ4000 has been an unsung superstar of Turnablism in the last couple of years (though relatively unknown in these parts), never seen nor heard of them until the other day but if what ive read is true then some of us stalwarts of Technics,Vestax,Stantons have been missing out! that said I think Panasonics decision re: the technics puts another massive nail in the coffin of Vinyl

Never been to shaft , been shafted alright lol , but yeah remember the System, only went to it a few times as my mate was DJ'ing and it ment getting in free lol

I know it was part of the next generation but for me after Olympic,Sides,G1,Asylum there was never going to be that rawness again, things kinda started to go a bit sterile with places, cleaner toilets,wanker doormen,BARS!! + Alcohol (damn you heathens lol) & the pretty posse clientele that the owners where aiming towards ya know, girls in heels n skirts,guys in pressed shirts n shoes ffs dress to impress policies....it just wasnt "raving" as i'd known it but still as long as DJ's i knew n loved where out playing you knew the tunes would be banging!!

I found my "home" in the Asylum , from the venue,the tunes n the people i met, my utopia,never left there feeling **** (unless on an early comedown lol) but one of the truest "rave" feeling i ever felt was the 1st time in G1 , it just felt "very illegal" and warehousey the way we were hearing it was across the water....full of apprehension in there just waiting for the garda to come storming in and put a halt to it.....and they didnt dissapoint!!

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE TO BRING US BACK???? ..............with this fookin recession there must be a hundred empty warehouses around the place lol I double dare someone.......lets really "revive the rave" in all its anti authority fook the system glory ,lets stick a middle finger up at them that tell us NO and say "Fook Off" lets gather the masses,lets raise their spirits,elevate them from the bleak wasteland our elected ones have thrust upon us,lets release the biggest show of euphoric emotion since 1990 and lets dance,drop E,reach for the sky,taste the muthafukin rainbow,Come on, Come on ,Cooooooome on .....

......and breath,relax,sit back down,put slippers back on,drink some horlicks,relit the pipe,open the Sunday world and sigh *ahhhhh* reach into my cardigam pocket n unwrap another wurthers ...."young folk just dont know what went before them,youth ,wasted on the young"....nostalgia eh,aint like it used to be!!

it'll be wurthers and horlics for me soon enough as well man lol, big 28 tomorrow lol, were does the time go.

"Bah , fooking youngsters!!!! if i catch you throwing snowballs at my door" *waves fist* lol .... 2 years of youth left in ya buddy then it's welcome middleage!!! .....then you become like the rest of us oldskool oldfart dinosaurs lol "He never lost his hardcore.........he just couldn't remember where he left it!!"

As for the mention, well deserved I think,credit where its due m8, you've furnished me with some wicked sets and the lads over on OOS would agree!! take a bow ya fookin legend!!! ....but to me ,you'll still only be that cheeky upstart from boards lol so dont go all fookin Tiesto or Halliwell on us lol:p
