I'd literally just turned 18, was with my family in a pub in Preston, sat there having a shit night, looking at my watch, guessing who was playing at what time.
I remember reading the reviews on USH the next day, and just knowing this era for hardcore was over.
I got the tape pack and still listen to the Vibes tape a lot now.

I was 15 and in the last year of Secondary School. Me and a couple of lads were going to go, but the tickets were too expensive. I got the tape pack from Flip Records early January 2000.
I've cained this Vibes set over the last 20 years. The Sy set was decent too.

I had stopped going 2 years prior to this , Dreamscape 27 97-98. For me, when I walked into that event and saw the main arena still being setup at 8.20, with a boombox on the stage giving the only tunes. I said then , things are dying.
The DnB arena was awesome, the techno room was banging, I spent most of the night in there.
The main arena had gone all "singalong" stuff, and i'd lost interest in it. The odd good set but mostly anthem bashing.
Hardcore , the true happy hardcore, was gone, and it was morphing into UK Hardcore, not so much in technique but in atmosphere. I walked outta that rave and said i'd never go back. It was over for me, sad night really, because I'd lost all interest in the music. If it hadn't been for the techno room and old skool rooms i'd have been outta my depth in the DnB room lol
I was looking for the Vibes set from Dreamscape 27, but it doesn't look like he played, or the set wasn't recorded. He played last set at Helter Skelter 'Progression' that night.

I'm almost certain he was booked but for some reason or other couldn't make it, I am going from memory of reading something a long time ago, mind. It'd be very unusual for him not to be booked for it, though.

I would?ve been 6 (and in Canada), so obviously didn?t attend, but it?s great that a few people here who went are able to have this piece of history. I wish Timmy put out ?tape? packs here for the Nocturnal Commissions events, but when you?re not even pulling in 800 people you?re almost guaranteed to lose money :/.
