Thanks mate. I've been asked to do a 2 hour old skool mix for a lads radio show. It will feature loads of old Evo's Dwarfs, Babybooms, Roughneck, tracks of the likes. Its to do with an old rave from the North East called the Colosseum. Played all the great anthems like this. I think the rave ran from 92 - 97, but I'm not 100% on that

Never heard of it tbh. Must have been a small local one. Unless other events used it but it wasn't called the Colosseum ?

Yeah, it was in Norton which is near Middlesbrough. It was a big event for the North East, but as you said, maybe not for people out of the area. It wasn't on a scale of anything like The Rez, or the likes

Nah. It was a pretty big club. Their events were in Stockton-on-Tees. It was a similar concept to Club Kinetic. I always liked tapes from these events because more obscure stuff was played. Same with Uprising.
This is their NYE 1995 event. Scott Brown played. He's on this video at 1 hour 7 minutes.

Around 1994/95 the further you went north the harder the music was. In the Midlands you had a mix of Diehard (which played Happy and Breakbeat) then Pandemonium that was more Breakbeat Jungle. The further south you went the more Breakbeat it was. Places like Fusion etc. Great time to be raving in the UK.
