well i grew up in Doncaster, and there is the local BYO or Warehouse.
Carl Cox , Grooverider used to play there a lot.
So i heard a lot of hardcore back in the day. but i was more into jungle tbh.
liked a lot of hard trance/ club trance, drum n bass, and even hard house.
went to a few squats in sheffield around 2001.
got into acid techno, and loved it ever since.
