MD: вЂњBasically, SheffieldвЂ™s punctuated by a large social housing estate called Park Hill and on the left-hand side the entertainment centre/car park has two of the largest brutalist buildings in the city.

There was a local scene and I also remember Manchester being a big influence, but we were always aware of what was going on Sheffield.вЂќ RD: вЂњActually, their B-sides had a lot of obscure remixes from people youвЂ™d never heard of at the time. MD: вЂњJust admit it, you liked Pet Shop Boys?вЂќ Warp Records was starting to show up, clubs were gravitating towards that sound and the rave scene was on the verge of kicking off.вЂќ Richard Dust: вЂњI arrived just as the whole electronic dance music movement was beginning to drop into the mainstream. I also remember coming out of the nightclub and seeing Cabaret Voltaire queuing for a bus. Subs and another for Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, with Joy Division supporting.

'The other part, which sounds trivial but meant a lot as a kid, is that I remember buying two sets of tickets вЂ“ one for U.K. When I saw them live I didnвЂ™t understand how they were making the noises they were and where it came from.
