1991

From the gate, Grooverider pioneered the Hardcore Jungle/Drum & Bass sound. A London based Dj, Rider has played across the whole country and worldwide. From its earliest beginnings of Acid House of the late 80’s (Hardcore) transforming into Jungle Drum & Bass in the early 90’s. Leading the way for his peers alongside Dj Fabio, a partnership that more than transcends time. Grooverider’s influence & selecting ability definitely propelled Jungle Drum & Bass music and helped shaping it to the sound we all love. Most deem him as the godfather of the entire scene. Please enjoy this journey into the sounds of the great Grooverider.

*****************************************************************************************************************************************



In October 1990 Coventry made dance music history...

That first Saturday night/Sunday morning experience was put on at the former Granada Bingo Hall in Lower Ford Street,Coventry,England.

The bingo hall had now been transformed into a 4 floored nightclub, and was also voted the best nightclub in the country in 1991 by fellow ravers through DJ Magazine. With a chill out space including a cinema on the ground floor, a second floor room enough to hold 500 people, and the main room on the top floor holding over a 1000 people including the balcony.

Every Friday and Saturday night would be filled by clubber's and raver's from all over Britain..

Act's such as :The Prodigy, K Klass, SL2, Altern 8, Moby, Shades of Rhythm and LFO all passed through it's door's with live p.a. set's.

Top dj's such as, The great grooverider,carl cox,sasha,frankie bones,Micky finn,top buzz etc,all graced the decks on a reguar basis,and two hour set's were the norm.

February 94,the club was closed.

At the time of closing more than one million people had passed through its doors and it had a standing membership of 74,000. .

Gone ..but never forgotten..here is my 1st tribute mix...please don't download and run,please share your thought's with us all,enjoy!
