My Favorite Place

That's for threads started by Ronan. (ha.)

Help, I think I'm becoming obsessed with canals and waterways.

It is small and bassfilled. It's like walking downstairs into the catacombs or something, the dancefloor is small enough. The seats and tables are dimly lit with red electric candles, it holds about 150 or 200 people I reckon. The toilets are huge and Roman looking, with blue lights around the place. I used to go there about twice or three times a week, just me and my best friend often. It's where I got into dance music properly, and where I had lots of good nights last year.

But now the old Kitchen nightclub no longer opens for business. I blame the DJ Mr Withers. Daphne found Autechre records in his DJ box, they say he didn't like the popularity of the place and he was trying to scare the customers away.

I also love walking around Soho, particularly going down Berwick Street first thing in the morning. You see the same group of market traders playing cards and gulping down orange tea from polystyrene cups. The guys from the reggae shop sitting out front passing a huge spliff. Everyone shouting and calling to each other.

In Sheffield there's a cafe called the Forum on Division Street. I haven't been there for ages, but I spent an awful lot of time there as a student and I still love it.

Finally I'll say the house of my friends Paul, Lucas, Tom and Dave. I have the nicest evenings in there and I love them to bits (They have also pooled their record collections, so the end collection is so vast not even they know what's in there. We smoke spliffs and play each other records and I trust them implictly and tell them everything.)
