it jumps around alot in time frames doesnt it??!
- it mentions that Boy/Tong compilation and then the next paragraph is castle morton which was years before hand.
Yeah its slightly annoying. I'm sure has making some of this up as well. He mentions they gave Sasha a car when he signed to the DMC Agency. He says Sasha lost it first weekend he had it and it was never seen again. But it was fairly well documented in 2000 that Sasha hadn't had time to learn to drive.
Also lists Billy Nasty as playing Progressive House / Trance ??

kinda weird he never mentions uk midlands and the canal club in wolverhampton where sasha and digweed played a few times seperately, they played there more than the other place he says in wolverhampton
"Working like a wizard he doesn't jump around much or react much to what he is playing but the place is going nuts"
driving is too much of an upkeep atm. if that be true C., then i applaud Sasha having not learned till then. seriously, driving has become such a pain in-the-ass, gridlock-clusterfuck. so over commuting.
i was also wondering this -- do dj's and world class dj's have to pay in full their traveling expenses nowadays? or is it fiscally taken care of by the record companies, a&r's venues etc.?

kinda off topic, but still related i guess.
Yeah it was quite an issue for Sasha not driving. He lived just outside Henley On Thames in the middle of no where so he always had to have a driver.
I think the club promoter pays the travel expenses there was a notice on Dave Seaman's website last week saying that some of his gigs had been canceled because the promoter hadn't books his fights.
in the run-up to New Year's Eve, thousands of Cream regulars, like clubbers all over the country, decided that they could afford to miss the event. News began to filter out that ticket sales were pitifully low. A local paper ran a story that Cream had only sold 30 tickets. "And we were going, 'Don't be so stupid. As if we'd be going towards the millennium with only 30 tickets sold,'" said Cream's Jayne Casey. "And we'd only sold 30 tickets."
By 2002, Cream was pulling in only 500 punters a week and losing £50,000 a week. In July, they decided to stop running weekly nights.
They are being quite selective ... Cream ran a massive party at the pierhead ... Sasha, Oakenfold, Fatboy Slim, Orbital, Stereophonics, Lightning Seeds etc. The club was open too, but most people opted for the large event - it was packed and we saw in the Millenium with Sasha ... not a bad way to do things !
As for the winding down of the club, the bills got less enticing as DJ's found America and further afield to hold greater appeal. Oakenfold gave up his Cream residency to set up Home and when that fell down went to break the US, where Sasha & Digweed were going down a storm - Seb Fontaine was never going to fill Oakeys shoes.
These are flyers from 1997, 1998 and 1999
Here's a flyer from 2001 and 2002 ... rather a large difference in the weekly bills.
The UK super clubs needed big residencies ... but the DJ's weren't interested, so consequently the attendences dropped. I'm sure Diggers could still sell out a decent level of Bedrock nights over the course of a year, instead he just likes to arrange 2 or 3.

This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.
There's a great story about the Universe promoter who's at home shagging his girlfriend, both in bondage gear Hes about to toke on a Crack pipe as he climaxes only to notice a Policeman stood in his living room.

All those flyers were kick ass some heavy lineups.

1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...
