I think the longevity of this crowd wins out though.
Although I don't know, the long-term effects of raving are comparible with the effects of a decent multi-day bikepacking race, no?
Thousand yard stare, hallucinations, sleep deprived gaunt face, perfum de sweat etc...
I too have been listening to loads of Weatherall mixes since he scuttled off recently - he really was very good at his craft.
Sven Vath - yes!!!I’m off to find a working tape player and listen to some Sven Vath now

K1100T - if you are/were into rocketry, did you ever come across a chap called Darren Longhorn? I used to work with him and he was well into it.

Re: The story behind your BB name (and whats your street name)
Nice bit of techno chat
Our crowd migrated away from The Orbit once Sankeys and The Phoenix started proper hard techno nights in Manchester (Bugged Out & Havok). It was significantly closer to home and they could stay open a lot later.
I still dip my toe in very occasionally -maybe twice a year - but the recovery is a long and painful process these days

Someone kindly fixed my (phones) spelling mistake of the to the correct 'the'... I've also (in case The Queen* or Queeny or whatever she likes to be called at home) swapped the end bit (whats yer street name) to a more appropriate (for Queeny), 'wats your usual form of address'.

Re: The story behind your BB name (and whats your street name)
Since this chat of 90s rave clubs there was a club up your way Andy , in the center of Manchester think it was under a record shop with rooms like caves , desperately trying to rember the name but can’t is where we used to frequent before we started going to quadrant park in bootle both had decidedly moody atmosphere but were a mint night out (especially after a few doves) think that may explain why my heads a little twisted nowIn Reverse wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 4:31 pm Nice bit of techno chat

Is it somehow appropriate that one of the orbit logos was a penny farthing?

Re: The story behind your BB name (and whats your usual form of address)
Sad to see After Dark rotting away now, I live in Morley and drive past the front door every morning.
It was turned into an Italian restaurant which was weird, huge place with no atmosphere, kitchen was in the chill out room.
That didn’t last long at all and it soon closed again, the neighbouring building was converted into flats which then caught fire and it’s all been boarded up since.

Re: The story behind your BB name (and whats your usual form of address)
I lacked the imagination to use anything other than my real name. It was my Mum’s choice originally, and I think she thought it wouldn’t get shortened, but it did. At school, and latterly in Wales (but nowhere else, strangely), people would call me “E”.
Great thread though; two revelations for me:
1. origin of FLV’s name. I always wondered.
2. Stu was born 17 years before tarmac was invented. Who knew?

Re: The story behind your BB name (and whats your usual form of address)
On the topic of water bottle in the back pocket (clubbing) I was a participant back in the mid/late 90's. Many a night in 051, Cream, Sankeys Soap (Stoke nights), Downton in Rhyl and I even met the Mrs in a local club in Colwyn Bay (that reads well) which was raided every weekend!
Maybe that was our early BB training for long nights and feeling cr@p next day!
