I was at the Manchester Orb night, and possibly the Brixton Megadog (honestly can’t recall who was on when I went - was clearly not at my sharpest!)

I got hit in the head by a dreadlock attached to a crustys head at that gig. For some reason thats my only memory. Oh and a really e’d up woman put her hands up my t-shirt. Big night.

Saw Orbital around 93/94 at Brixton with Vapourspace amongst the support.

Early Beta Band, soon after Champion Versions came out. Best five quid I’ve ever spent.

Pretty sure I went to the first one
Did aphex just play a 909 kick for about an hour ?

No Aphex made a noise like an 808 a 303 and a bunch of home made synths falling down the stairs - it was bloody ace. Other than that I can remember underworld and psychick warriors but not a lot else

Couldn’t say why particularly, but these seemed to have survived numerous moves and clearouts…

Included because I’d had a dance music Epiphany since buying a ticket the year before. Only memorable as I’d been up all night after my first trip (strawberry!)

Did several Orb all-nighters in Brixton. My mates Metro got broken into and I had all my best tapes nicked


Pretty sure this was held much later due to 9/11 scuppering the original party

I’m impressed you can remember. I went to most ? Of the mega dogs usually in Holloway Road and saw aphex at Brixton academy once (He did the 909 thing and then played some sandpaper or something with a drill ) …
But honestly I can’t really remember anything other than this sort of sense memory of losing it to the music and flashbacks

Admittedly, most of the cool ones are the wife’s…:rofl:

Don’t worry I haven’t really the faintest idea. I think underworld were on when we arrived, I didn’t know anything by psychick warriors and they were better than I expected. I know Aphex did more than just a 909 and I know I’d never heard anything like it but more than that is lost in the mists of time
