90's Derby was the clubbing capital of the UK as you can see in this new documentary DVD.

One More - The Definitive history of UK clubbing 1988 - 2008 DVD is out now, featuring interviews with DJs from the former club night "Progress" in Derby. I remember it do you?
Progress played house and trance music, started in 1992 at a club called the Wherehouse (now Mosh), in Friar Gate. It then moved to the Conservatory in Willow Row then at Eclipse in Babington Lane also at Time Nightclub and Sodabar. Progress finished in 2002.

The Blu-ray of this documentary is out on March 12th:

A video clip of this DVD:


We basically nicked what Alfredo was doing and did it better.
Nicky Holloway

The band were saying “we can’t be associated with dance music”, so I left. When I got back to Brighton ecstasy had been invented and “finally it was happening to me.
Norman Cook

London had changed - all fuelled by this new drug called ecstasy.
Dave Pearce

It was the ’90s, ‘Excess All Areas‘. With the clubscene, Brit Pop and the festivals...the UK was party central for ten years
Danny Rampling

The decline in the so-called superclubs wasn’t down to a diminishing popularity of dance music, it was because it became more readily available.
