00:00 Nothing was about money, it was all about a vibe.
00:03 The whole country knew, right, dance music,
00:06 this is where it's going to be,
00:07 this is where it's going to stay for a long time.
00:10 (upbeat music)
00:12 - Music was uplifting.
00:19 It was like, come on, let's celebrate our lives.
00:21 It's party time.
00:23 And people were feeling good about everything.
00:25 - You had the DJ's box where I took in the gods
00:28 and you're looking out over the crowd.
00:30 For some strange reason,
00:31 you connect with every person in the audience.
00:34 They're there to go mad
00:37 and you're there to give them what they want.
00:39 - Turnmills and the gallery had a great atmosphere,
00:42 but when they removed this glass
00:44 that was literally like something out of an aquarium
00:46 with the DJ's, the exhibit, it went off, bang.
00:49 - This whole acid house thing
00:50 had happened while I was up in Hull.
00:52 And I remember coming back down here
00:53 and to my old stomping ground
00:55 and everybody was dancing on that bar
00:57 like it was New Year's Eve.
00:59 - Pouring out into the streets,
01:00 dancing in the fountains,
01:01 police cars coming along to stop it all,
01:04 setting off their sirens,
01:05 everyone dancing around the police cars going,
01:07 "Nancy, Nancy!"
01:09 ♪ Hey ♪
01:10 (upbeat music)
01:13 - My one more track would be Change, Glow, and Love.
01:19 - CC Rogers, Someday.
01:21 - Probably Your Love by Frankie Knuckles.
01:23 End of the night, not a screamer, more of a hugger.
01:26 (upbeat music)
01:29 - There used to be queues down the block.
01:32 Everyone was doing the mad dancing, it was packed.
01:34 - The sound was phenomenal.
01:36 And you was like looking down at everyone,
01:37 it was like fantastic.
01:38 And the big iron bars for it,
01:40 it's so industrial, it just went off in there.
01:41 - We just drove off from Paris to Nottingham,
01:45 you know, took the ferry.
01:46 And that was how good these clubs were.
01:49 - I'd seen it before with hip hop
01:51 and new romantics and all this stuff.
01:53 And it was the same thing.
01:55 It was something very small but very special
01:58 and the people were really, really into it.
02:00 - They were great, great times.
02:03 A great period, and not just in my life,
02:05 in everyone's life.
02:06 And we'll never, ever see those times again.
02:09 I'm gonna get all misty eyes now.
