I had the luck/privilege of being in the UK back in the 90s, around the time Jungle and Drum and Bass were really high (pun intended). Those were the good old times with PlayStation arriving, Wipeout having a superb soundtrack, and many excellent artists providing tunes for games. In case there are people interested in DnB have a look at Andy C ;-)

There was a club in London that I used to go to in the mid-90s called Complex. It had three floors, one was drum&bass, one techno, and the top floor was PlayStations.

The PS1 was a real zeitgeist moment where gaming came of age.

That sounds so fucking cool. I would love to experience a club like that. Just take a little playstation break from the dancefloor lol
