A flashback to Bournemouth '92
The phattest year of UK club culture

Remix
Holdenhurst Road, Bournemouth

On a thursday night in '92, if you were in Bournemouth town center, there was nowhere else you would rather be than 'Remix'. Now known as 'Alcatraz', the DJ's who used to rock this joint back in the day were without doubt the biggest names the scene had to offer. We're talking Carl Cox, Top Buzz, Slipmatt, Seduction, Mickey Finn... the list is endless!

Now known as 'Elements & Circo', and previously 'The Cage & Zoo', this was the spot to see people like Artwell and Jay Rachet dropping the best in upfront New Jack Swing, Soul, and Hip Hop. Later on you would see regular guests dropping by such as Shafie and Dance spinning jungle.

NOBLES
Old Christchurch Road, Bournemouth

What can i say about this place? If you were to travel into Bournemouth town center on a saturday night, there was only one place to go. Nobles was the place, 'Dreamdance' was the night.
