Ah cool, I get you. So i would imagine there was more of the "tartan techno" up in the North East because of the influence from Scotland. Explains why like you said it is more of the harder stuff like Dwarf, Babyboom, Screwdriver etc

The Scottish were responsible for their own sub genre 'Bouncy Techno', but yes, lots of the Dutch stuff was getting played at Rezerection & The Fubar.

Diehard was in leicester, and Kintetic in Stoke, then there was the pleasuredome in Liverpool. They were the "big three" before you got to Scotland. Then Steam hit in N Wales. The warehouse parties were mainly down south, and in Scotland. Hardcore events popped up nearly everywhere tbh, they were so popular 95-97. Even hear in Wales we had 3 regular places. Hillside, Southern and Marthas.
I have vague memories of most places, some I aren't even sure are real tbh, that whole period of my life is a complete blur.
That Davie Forbes selection shows how good the man was at Hardcore. It's no suprise to me he's having success in Trance now. He gave me permission to remix one of his tracks once and tbh I didn't do it justice, but getting that honour was so cool, he's such a good bloke.

I only ever saw the fliers for Fantasy Island, looked mad with about 10 rooms. But not many people ever seemed to talk about it, Helter, Dreamscape yes, but never that place for some reason.

I used to think it was an event too, because as you say, the flyer always had 'Fantasy Island' in big letters.
