A site dedicated to Liverpool Old Skool dance music…

Quadrant park opened up as a nightclub in the late 1980s. Quadrant Park’s Main era in Italian house, Rave and Acid house music began in 1990 and survived until December 1991, despite considerable and persistent licensing issues and unfavourable media attention in newspapers. Mike Knowler was the initial resident and soon invited DJ partner Andy Carroll to join him.Andy had previously been co-responsible with Mike for bringing acid house music to the city of Liverpool (as early as 1986) ,Dj-ing at the legendary venue The State. Several past guest DJ’s include Laurent Garnier, Derrick May, Frankie Bones, and Sasha. When the all-nighter opened , John Kelly and James Barton joined the resident DJ crew.The Quad was part of the ‘Second Wave’ of the ‘House Music’ Revolution . It was unique in it’s style of uplifting music at that time and the fact that a loop-hole in a sefton council law enabled them to be THE ONLY actual legal all-night rave in the uk . Coaches used to arrive from all over the UK ,London, Glasgow, Birmingham…. even as far away as Aberdeen. It was a clubbing phenomenon that is fondly etched in the minds of many clubbers to this day .
Get my clubbing teeth at this place, awesome.
