Was 16, brother took me. Had been going to hard house events and godskitchen alot, so he wanted to show me some real music. Had listened to techno at home or whatever and never really got it untill I walked into the club I turned to my mate and just flippin hell this is the dogs bollox.

Up untill this point, although I was getting into hard house and buying it as my mates I went out with were into it, I wasnt really into any form of dance music, was more into hip hop before but this night turned me onto techno.
I went to this one, Funk D'void was a no-show. Missed his flight or something. Fenton ended up playing through till Mills came on. He started ok but i remember thinking the last hour or so he was having to resort to the dregs of his record box. Also remember gettin stressed cus there was no room to dance.

Anyway....not sure it was my first techno night but one that sticks in my mind was a H.O.G with I think Inigo Kennedy and a very scary live set from Ibrahim Alfa (bought' 2000ish). It absolutley rocked! Bumped into loads of people I already knew from my home town after years of thinking I had no mates into techno. Doh! Only missed a couple of HOG's since.
Also went to a Jam possibly with Luke Slater. All i remember was the flyer design. Had paper clips all over it. Think that might have been before HOG.
