DETOX:FRIDAY 29TH OCTOBER: 9pm- 4am: MASQUERADE HALLOWEEN BALL - NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY

Melt got any EB tix left?

Good to see you Melt see you on 29th.

so looking forward to this, gonna be emotional like, been to so many good nights in there over the years, judgement day, freaky dancing and loads of bands, be shame to see it go as a venue

counting the days

I am proppa looking forward to this now... Not sure what costume i am waering yet like... who is going aswhat? lets see if we can all be unique..

i heard it going to reopen , just cleaner

whats going on ravers? hows life

We have seen the plans and it is shutting for at least 9 months, all the staff have been served redundancy letters and are unemplyed as of the 1st NOV.
The plans for what they are bringing back is a glorified coffee lounge/come examination hall with a giant corridor where room 2 is.

Oldschool 90-94 I have been told no one from backlash is up for him playing any of that. Nu-breaks stuff at all. All this charver crack is rubbish detox at the uni is not the pig and whistle. The line up is pretty broad from minimal techno,hardhouse,industrial electro cutting edge drum and bass though to loads of other styles just because it's not the RA style of the week does not mean it rubbish. At the boat party there was a 2 set of house italo and disco. It's not dogs on strings any more.

cool, cheers james, bit weird that kind of set in backlash room but whatever, would have preferred him in main room like ratpack last time, was a good change for an hour.
Catch up with you there james, which room you's got for backlash, irish bar or room 2?

it has never been dogs on strings

that was a scurrelous rumour put about by si quick who (a) has never been to detox ever and (b) equated what we do = thimblby crowd which is totally different

yeah with a distinct smell of coffee, nice upholstery and no fucking staff to run it.

I smell conspiracy BIG TIME

its as good as 99.9% gone as of the 1st november, what returns in its place wont be what most of you want anyway

aye lol

nice bit of business on northumberland street

That was a joke mate. Plus Newcastle is not really a hotspot for crusties or travellers, a few dreadlocked unwashed students with trust funds larger than the average monthly wage would much prefer a regaee gig.

the closest thing to reggae they will get is levi roots sauce in tesco's / asda's etc

Will hunt out some great slipmatt mix's when I get the chance from 1990 to1992 the best years of his sets and also of germanys very own drum&bass,gabber and oldschhool hardcore super star panacea along with the pictures of him destroying the redrooms at backlash in the next few days.

mark eg and proteus b2b, that'll be insane trying to outdo the other, i wonder who goes the craziest haha

Aye good bit crack as well.

heah , i may be a student , with dreadlocks , unwashed i am not
