Coming from Plymouth UK Techno is a non-existent force, which is now but a few years ago in the early to mid nineties we had one of the fastest growing techno movements in the south west of England.
The nightclub was the Warehouse and the fort-nightly event was called Revelation. I had never really been into techno in a big way more the harder side of hardcore (what is that you may ask) to be honest I don’t really know, it was a jungle techno acid vibe, the end of the old school breaks era, I think. Anyway I think it was February of 1993 when the Revelation events started they brought a lot of new Dj’s to Plymouth like Dave Angel, DJ Edge. Colin Dale, Carl Cox, Frank De Wulf and Colin Favor to name a few. The events were jam packed to capacity with punters loving the techno vibe…It was awesome, some of the best nights I have ever had in a night club, the only thing that comes nearly as close is the Glastonbury dance tent, preferably with Dave Clarke waving his wand… The only sad thing now is that the Warehouse has now changed into a Ritzy like drinking hole for young kids and Techno, well nobody knows about Techno in Plymouth anymore, its all euro trance and hardhouse. I now have to take a 3-hour drive to London to hear any good music, sorry Techno!!!!!
But hopefully Mark EG will grace Plymouth with a Techno set this Sat 19th Oct????
