    Default Your fave techno club/party in the world!

    OK, that's it. We all lov to go and party but have you ever stopped to think about what you're favourite place ever has been?

    For me, I miss the early days of The Orbit in Leeds, but that's probably because that was a time when I could loose myself on the floor and hear some of the best names in techno week in week out without the crazy dj schedule I have now.

    Best techno parties at the mo? Hmmm.. I'd have to say the Circuito parties in Brazil that I've been to the last few years. The big raves in Holland are pretty good too - I heard a great set by Gaetano at Dance Valley. Great ppl, great vibe, great music now that's what makes a good party ;)

    First time I saw Mills at Lost in East India Docks.

    Admittedly pretty trashed that night, but was absolutely blown away.

    And at the end of the night Jeff wound it up, argued with security to let him play another, failed, shrugged apologetically and exited stage left.

    Everyone stood about looking really, really disappointed for five minutes.

    Suddenly out of nowhere Jeff jumped up from behind the stage holding a record aloft like excalibur. The whole crowd threw up their hands and roared with shock and joy.

    He had crawled back to the stage so no-one could see him. Such showmanship.

    Sonic Destroyer boomed out and all the lights flooded the room dark orange.

    Utterly, utterly brilliant. Probably my best club memory ever.

    It's not really a techno club but the favourite club for me is of course the dance academy, plymouth.

    The favourite place I heard techno has to be some rockin free party - or in leeds at paradise club (also cos it was where i met my ex)...

    Everybody is in the place....! letz go...

    I was there for that one... got really pissed on absynth and passed out in the covered walkway to the outside chillout area. The bouncers didnt throw me out cos they knew how far i'd come.

    Threw up on the train on the way there....

    The Orbit man I so wish that place was still going on.
    Had a realy great night at the Last(cough)North,Mark EG and Crhis Lib in that huge main room@the Lacota and then Chris Lib on his own with Ribsy pushing us all in to party mode both looking like they were having a great time in the sweaty little techno room made from bare breeze blocks there was a great vibe in that room Chris played one night in Hackney probably the first time most people in the room had heard it and the place was rocking and full of good vibes.
    Nowadays I need to find somewhere that does it for me a local if you like.
    Im open to suggestions.
    Realy need a good pure techno night been meening to check out the Darkside with the peeps they get on.

    the old House of GOD at grimey subway city. real dirty intimate atmosphere, youd come out at 7 thinking youve just been beaten up.

    also atomic jam at the que club, proper stadium techno, the biggerst club i have ever been to.

    i never had a chance to frequent the orbit:(:()
    bet it was a blast.

    its a toss up seriously between

    Voodoo @ La Bateau
    Atomic Jam @ The Q Club
    Bugged Out, The Courtyard

    Voodoo @ La Bat's was and still is the epitome of techno to me, serious eye opener and defintely life changing stuff, pretty hard to put into words at times definately, awesome

    for me i'd have to say going vodoo in i think it was the 501 or something like that it was like a big long room in what looked like an office block.... the best night i had there was green velvet and ben simms, what a night amazing tunes and quality atmostphere! the year must of been like 2000 or 2001.

    as for now had to be the concept tent at dance valley this year on the friday night, all night it was amazing but Carl Cox was wicked. also Realy enjoyed my trips to locked in machester, wicked vibe everytime.

    Absolutely no doubt for me - Atomic Jam @ the Que Club - words cannot sum it all up, basically, my spiritual home, those were heavy nights and they will live forever in my now fragile head.

    There are two very close runners up though:

    HOG @ Subway City - An atmosphere that was totally unique in every way, I used to come out of there feeling dirty from the inside, yet elated, as if I had done something naughty and gotten away with it.

    Raves in a clearing in the woods in wales, or anywhere else for that matter. This is the shit that got me into all of this in the first place, so it would be criminal to ignore the roots.

    was indeed an unbelivable night that, one of the fondest Voodoo memories i have, im surprised we've not bumped into each one night in a mess haha, but yeah that night was awesome, its not the actual 051 its Clear, or The Sound Factory as its known now, the 051 is downstairs and whilst part of the same building is a different venue, they do afterparties up there tho...

    class night tho, the Space Djs and Dave Clarke night there was incredible too
