20 years ago Acid House was born and a whole generation got right on one. British culture was changed forever, as we all danced to a new beat. Let there be House, and House music was born. Coming from Chicago to the clubs, warehouses and fields of England. The movement was so powerful that it inspired the whole country to start raving. House music spread and mutated, and a whole host of other genres were spawned from this, our House. 20 years later and House is bigger and broader than ever, yet to many it remains a feeling deep within your soul, a feeling that will never ever die.

To all those who danced in the fields, who felt that joy. A feeling that the world was changing and that we were making it happen, that was a very special time. Nothing before or since can ever or will ever make you feel that way again. So let us celebrate and rejoice that we could be a part of it. Let us go Trippin back.

On Sunday May 4th at The Royal Hotel we will hear the original sound of House. We will recapture that feeling one more time. Led by the original Acid House legend Trevor Fung, a face who showed everybody the way. We have selected DJ's who were part of the scene and playing out at raves, clubs and parties at the time. DJs who selected the soundtrack of our lives.

That sound system was the nuts mate. He done a great job, if I was putting on independent nights and hiring systems like I used to I would use him every time.
