A crazy bulbous punchbag of sound
Digs & Woosh at the Arches in Sheffield around '96 is one of those nights that's seared into my brain. There's many raves I went to that are a blur, just as many I can barely remember and some nights (like this one) that, despite being equally or more fucked, are as clear as if they happened yesterday.
The first sign it was something different was when I walked in quite early and it was already packed, the upstairs a sea of people sat on the floor skinning up. Their set was amazing, moving effortlessly from house like X-Press 2's Raise Your Hands to techno, like Jeff Mills' Purpose Maker stuff. I remember dancing on a podium at the back, someone sharing their water with me and me sharing a spliff in return. If time machines existed I'd love to go back and do that night again.
RIP Pete

not the only raver in the village
Went to one of their parties once without having a clue it was DIY. It was a very mellow and friendly night.
It's always sad when we lose someone who made raving what it was. The 90s were the best time to be young
