I remember when the SUF crew were there, the Liberators did a live set, it was actually one of the last techno parties to showcase there (if i remember rightly), they announced over the PA that the place was being raided (it wasn't of course, it was part of the act), which freaked me out for sure but was a stroke of genius LOL.

Carl Cox launched Fact 2 there shortly beforehand, Gayle San, Billy Nasty, DJ Wag, CJ Bolland, Dave Angel, Dave Clarke, Jeff Mills and many more honcho's played there on a regular basis.

I remember tripping out on the mirror cealing on the second floor, i came to on the stairwell where the bubbles rose to the roof LOL, and the freaky projections they had in the chillout room, playstations, pool tables, arcades.

Now those were the days. When they closed that club a very important part of clubland was lost forever. Once that closed Escape From Samsara follwed shortly afterwards, two places that had a vibe like no-where else i've ever witnessed, have come close but never bettered.
Now that takes me back... Universe events where were i cut my techno teeth so to speak... the original Tribal Gatherings in Luton etc - they were the days!

And Island Universe (New Years Eve 96 I think?) in 3 Mills Island Studios, anyone remember that? Where the cement floor started turning to mush, and they 'lost' all 3000-odd cloakroom tickets! Turned into a proper free-for-all lasting into the afternoon! Still one of the best nights i can remember (sigh).
