Insomniacz Sheffield Reunite - Want A Lesson In Hard House?

This article is about Insomniacz : Reunion @ Corporation in Sheffield (UK), Sun 12 Apr 2009

Insomniacz - History and the clubnight that shaped Hard House.

It's a club not a classroom - The Reunion April 12th 2009. Hard House classics from 1999 until 2004.

A small selection of Insomniacz’s Accolades & Claim to fame:

- Ministry number one club- 2000.
- Mixmag recommended venue- 1999-2000- 2001-2002-2003-2004.

After parties were never a homely place to be, well not for the poor soul who has to spend three days tidying up their home, whilst sullen bodies try with one last attempt to drag their under slept heads back home.

After the hands in the air madness of Saturday evening, euphoric trance, it’s hard to imagine that anyone anywhere in this entire world, would commit themselves to another eight hours of hedonistic fun. Then a new revolution in dance music evolves, hard house, a sound so raw, so unyielding that a new generation of clubbers are instantly hypnotised and drawn to a new dance, a scene like the progressive movement of the early nineties, speaks volumes and unlike pop star trance has the long-lasting qualities to become an established underground musical movement.

With every genre of groundbreaking musical madness there then follows a selected few clubs whom week in week out, break into a sweat to retain an admirable following and establish themselves in the super league of British nights.

Insomniacz within two years had grown from a back street after-hours retreat into a fully-fledged hard house institution, moving once to the one thousand four hundred capacity of The Corporation in Sheffield to the two thousand capacity venue of The National Centre for Popular music, Sheffield’s most futuristic looking piece of architecture.

When the last loop or chord reverberation died in established Saturday night venues, many clubbers were heading straight up the M1 to Sheffield’s finest dance party, to hear the sounds of Paul Glazby, Andy Farley, Lisa Lashes, Fergie, Mauro Picotto, Tidy Boys, Mark Gray, Anne Savage, ilogik & Paul Janes (to name a few) to keep them awake for another eight hours, house owners were relieved, parents and landlords were no longer awoken by the rattle of keys at 6am on Sunday morning, Insomniacz has become a retreat for music lovers across the U.K to bury themselves, Insomniacz had became in the space of two years, one of the world’s leading after-hours music venues.

Most of you will already know the DJ's on the Hard House circuit, Insomniacz helped engineer most of these guys and this event planned for April 12th 2009 is the home coming of Hard House. It's a new beginning for the Scene.

For one night we are going to take it right back to where it all started. This is your chance to experience what 1000’s of clubbers enjoyed week in week out and have longed for again. The time has come for a thrash up like no other. Get your banging boots dusted off as Insomniacz is back.

Hi Jessica - Yellow & Black is the theme as they are 'our' colours so it would be great to get as many people as possible involved but it is NOT essential so if you have nothing don't worry.
It's a club not a classroom ;)
