You'd be surprised mate - we all still talk fondly of that and Pillbox :)Quote:

See that's the crowd I remember from the early days, when you had people like Mike Humphries, Chris Liberator, or even when it was just the residents!Quote:
The DJ Rush night was I think the night I've liked least atmosphere wise out of all the ones we've done. You're quite right, it was very busy but there was an odd atmosphere, not like Dogma at all, more just a big name playing in a club. We were expecting the crowd to change a bit due to Rush not having played for many years and attracting different people to our regulars, but not to the extent that it did. Dogma's normally much more friendly, with much smiling :)
I think a lot of my mates who I went with to the DJ Rush night had been getting a little fed up with the Edinburgh techno scene at that point because it was going through a big change - as of course it had to, but you know a lot of people's attitude to change. That night was the final nail in the coffin if you like, although things have apparently improved.
The Youngsters! A brilliant move - I'd have loved to have seen them. Nothing I can say for the rest except total respect to you for doing it!Quote:
Music wise, yup, we're just booking who we want to play rather than trying to fit genres .. earlier this year our nights included Henrik B followed by Regis live followed by Uglyfunk (Mark Hawkins live and Jerome djing) followed by The Youngsters so we're still pretty diverse.
Education is just as important as entertainment right enough... (there's a wanky purist saying for ye :wink:)Quote:
All the nights went really well and we had a lot of folk saying that they weren't expecting to enjoy whoever as they didn't like that style of music but actually had a great night, which is all good ..
Haven't decided yet mate, but I might just be there. I haven't seen Pyz in a long time and I know he's eats sleeps and shits Punish, so it'd be a good chance to get up, see the old faces and enjoy the new wave of the Edinburgh techno scene...Quote:
In October we are on the 17th when we're hosting the launch night for Glenn Wilson's new album "Nightshift" on Punish Recs. Glenn's doing a 2 hour live set followed by a Final Scratch dj set, which should be pretty tasty, hopefully you're about that weekend ..
Nice one mate. Keep up the good work!
