Raves Of Longton IV

Our annual homage to our spiritual rave home of Longton is back!

for those of you who prefer a more authentic take on Stoke on Trent rave nostalgia, this is the event for you!

Pete Bromley as many of you are aware was one of the resident DJs at Introspective, Stokes first successful weekly rave party which was held at The Leisurebowl, not to mention the first DJ to play a full house music set at Shelley’s Laserdome before there were any official dance music nights promoting out of the venue. 

‘Lethal’ Lee Fredericks was one of the resident compares at the original Entropy night on a Friday at The Leisurebowl which eventually made its way across the road to Shelley’s. He was also Daz Willott’s MC where he performed most weeks on a Saturday in Shelley’s also which became like a second home to the pair of them. 

Altern8 as everyone knows were the midlands rave sensations of the early 90s. Global success and crossover rave hits carved their names in stone all over the world, not to mention memorable performances at both Entropy and Shelley’s that have gone down in history, not to mention their much fabled Car Park performance that became the video basis of their biggest hit ‘Activ8’

Our special guest on this occasion is arguably the most respected and famous DJ from the early 90s rave scene. As well as being credited as one of the forefathers of ‘jungle’ and ‘drum & bass’ he was most certainly the biggest name on the scene and we’re lucky enough to have him play for the first time in Stoke a ‘classic house’ set which will be a very special occasion for the real music connoisseurs. 

Supported by the inimitable Mikey Worth, one of the city’s best specialist warm up DJs, we’re set for an incredible night indeed if it’s all about the music and authenticity.

See you on the dancefloor x
