1990, or was it 1991?  The first hour of this is probably more akin to what was played at the Warehouse in Leeds in those years, but the mix could have just as easily been called Ricky's or the Gallery or named after any other club in the North of England for that matter.  The Warehouse was the first club I went to though and its a tribute to how blown away I was as soon as I'd blagged my way in saying I'd lost my mates, even though I looked about 12.  Those nights, and Boy Wonder especially were very special indeed.

LEEDSWAREHOUSEMIX

I moved in with my brother and his girlfriend after travel from Debyshire become too much  for me, in return for my bed and board I hoovered the house and sold the tickets for the raves for my brother, in return I also got a free ticket ;)

We organised a coach to take people to White Waltham airfield Bucks ( near Maidenhead) it picked everyone up from Elm Park outside a church called St Albans.  Half of the coach was filled with people I grew up with in the 70's & 80's-on our little journey in to something new and fresh!

We headed around the M25 clueless as to where we were heading but the driver had instructions that my brother had received from a call on the landline from the promoters, we eventually got to the A404 heading to Maidenhead and turned off, I can remember seeing someone in a high vis waving and directing us in to a lane where we could hear the thump of the beat getting closer. Our coach eventually came to a stop and we all 'piled' out like excitable children (bearing in mind we were between 16-30 years old) I remember there was a video camera filming us which was the officlal video for the night.

We had to queue for a bit and I can remember feeling the pounding of the tune "Phantom" by Renegade Soundwave smashing through the side of warehouse as I came up on what was apparently a ‘yellow Cali’

We got inside and litterally ran  to the middle of the warehouse/hangar with excitement, there were already a few people dancing up on the dance platforms below what seemed to be a huge inflatable hanging ball.

I remember offering to get everyone in my small group of friends a drink and I disappeared off in to the middle of the smoke filled hangar, Li'l Lous French Kiss was playing ...as I walked I could feel everything becoming more and more intense until what seemed like a sheet of honeycomb pattens covered my vision in the formation of dry ice and strobe; the next thing I knew I was sitting on the floor in a recovery position with my nose running with the reassuring scent of the Bodyshop's Dewberry lingering close by....I got up continued to get some drinks and some peices of Honey Melon for my friends & returned, apparently I had been gone over an hour :/

The next morning the sun came up and everyone went outside and was dancing around the parked cars, we jumped on our coach and retuned to Essex at around 9AM,  on the way home we stopped for refreshments in a little village shop, our coach pulled up to the side of the road and out about forty ravers dressed in typical 1989 rave clobber decended in to the shop; we bought all of their Lucozade and Strawberry Ribena stock ( I can still remember the shock on the shop keepers shocked face) and we all headed back to Elm Park Essex.

A truly unforgettable weekend that'll stay with me forever.

The Night Sky

DarQnezz - The Night Sky

he Syndicate is the manifestation of an organization that emerges in silence yet with determination, like a pact of shared glances and deep understandings. Here, we are the Black Tie Cartel, with explicit codes: to create true techno. There is an invisible bond uniting 24 creative and visionary minds from 12 different countries, all in sync with the pulse that defines techno in its pure and essential state. In this first edition: Italy, Germany, Colombia, Brazil, Spain, Argentina, the Netherlands, Chile, Sweden, Singapore, Australia, and Denmark, united by a language that transcends borders.

The Syndicate is not merely a medium; it is the pulse that breathes life into each beat. It is a various artists series that operates as a web of consciousness, deeply committed to an exploration of techno that embraces both its tribal roots and its futuristic possibilities. Each of the 24 tracks carries a fragment of the creator's story and thoughts, and together they trace a path that traverses rhythms, textures, and frequencies.

This group doesn't seek to fill the vessel; they are the water itself, the flow and essence that shapes the container. The meaning of all this lies not at the end of the road, but in each step we take. The Syndicate is that experience—a journey not defined by final destinations, but by the authenticity of each production and the depth of each sound. In a world of noise and distraction, these artists choose precision and intention, setting aside intellect and rationality to let the spirit of techno speak for itself.

This is the moment when control is reclaimed—a formal, almost imperceptible force that transforms and guides with serenity. They do not need to declare their power; their presence emanates it. The Syndicate is not just a series; it is an order, a dedication, and perhaps a moving meditation that challenges the audience to dive in, to think, and to lose themselves in the deepest corners of sound.
