[lucination333]

the surgeon..ah the memories. me n my mates went every time it was on from 97 onwards.. there's never been anything like it since.. xx

[ronkasdelight]

First track is Dj Funk - Pump It I think. Was at this night and it was ballistic. Funny thing , we were actually in the backroom and Mark Turner or maybe Neil Roberts was playing the same track Pump It and there was about 15 of us from Bradford and Liverpool jumping up and down in a circle chanting along to it. Buzzing buzzing times....

[mateyla321]

[mateyla321]

good timesssssssssss

[82mistam]

He? I'm not slating te channel. Read back at what I have written. I'm commenting on the mixing. The whole point of you tube is to comment on videos and their content be it possitive or negative.

[SH4R9Y]

@82mistam Okay, I might have gone on 1 with you and Its not the best mixing Ive heard either but he has made some of the best techno tunes around!! For mixing Tech-no I like Jeff Mills check out his Live at the liquid rooms in Tokyo 1995."

[SH4R9Y]

I hate these people that go somewhere on you tube and start slating the channel you know what i mean 82mistam? I dont think that was a threat, I think he meant you dont know what the fuck you are on about pal!

[CAVEMANchris48]

THE TRIBE

[82mistam]

I'm not dissing the club am I? You're imaganing things. And I don't know what I'm dealing with? That just doesn't make any sense whatsoever! Is that a threat?

[SH4R9Y]

@82mistam Do us a favour and take your face for a shit pal!!

[SH4R9Y]

Dont diss my fav Club or my fav dj! you dick 82mistam

[ramshackles]

82MistaM - You don't know what you're dealing with.....

[82mistam]

0:49 you lose! my go.

0:59 what you doin dickhead!?!

[RYANKOKO]

@82mistam you silly silly cunt the evidence is in front of your eyes its a techno club one of the best ever in the world. Its not a hip hop club so his scratching doesnt have to be DMC STANDARD hes just messing about. Hes from New York birthplace of Hip Hop so hes more entitled than you to cut it up a wee bit if he wants. Ive seen him live he was alright i suppose but he played energy flash at the end of his set and that is something you cant argue about. You fucking Nerd

[SH4R9Y]

@82mistam Crank lmao

[POTT1973]

thats why beltram's a millionaire record producer and a famous Dj who travels the globe, and your not 82mistram!!!! think on!!

[82mistam]

You've missed the point of what I was saying!

[82mistam]

Neither would I. Just type in qbert or Roc Raida to see some true dj skills. :-)

[82mistam]

What the f*** is this shit? Sounds like his record is stuck. Can't mix. And who taught him to scratch? Abu Hamza?

[CCSmashers]

cool new thing called looping

[82mistam]

Yeah but he's not.

[dayve3]

The worlds greatest club, my hairs are standing on end watching this. The building is just stood there empty now which hurts everytime I go past it. I REALLY wish they would bring it back or even hold a tribute night with Surgeon, C.J Bolland, Sven vath, Beltram, etc

[nampow]

@dayve3 i would pay 500 quid to see jeff mills or sven there again..

[jeehaze77]

yeee ha Excellent Joey Beltram number1 5 5 **** classic

[Gravymoffers]

Did I spot Brent and Shelley at the end of the clip?

[tokyohands]

0:37 is exactly the image i get when i think back to that mental place, people havin it over th balcony, was just fckin nuts!

[andrewt008]

[mixmaiden]

[waxfrenzy]

A small but oh so beautiful fragment of the madness of the late nineties techno scene. Such vibrant times!

[paggero8]

wish ad been there that neet! was a bit tyed down in hmp but fisrt started 92 at orbit then last time was sep 98 on run from hmp was banging too!!!!

[wudstarsmix]

i remember wen claud young smacked me in the knee with his record box thats my cliam to fame

[justintoni]

What a night !! still makes me tingle to think about it! fond memories of Marco zafforano and sven vath. Also the pile on that was trying to get back on a special bus to get back to leeds uni. Maddest memory walking straight into the glass panel thingy because of crazy visuals. Did anyone else ever walk into that glass panel?? !! RIP and respect the orbit xx

[therealkettlehead]

Marco Zafforano was the bollocks at Orbit. I remember Sven Vath dropping toons and then getting down on the floor.

Wish I could remember the Tannith night that was a bad head I had the next day/month.

All Hail The Mighty Orbit!

We miss you

[mstorm007]

do you remember marco zaffarano playing with cj bolland about 2002 ish? im trying to get a hold of that set because both marco and cj played a certain record about 5-6 times that night between em. that was a good night musically and bolland played his best set. but the best nights were just sven vath on his own playing for 5 hours at a tim ;) (and dropping samantha fox touch me in the start of his set.. legend )

[THEGOLDENVISIONN]

there was no alternative

[sativa303]

I remember the days :) BEST CLUB IN THE WORLD - FACT ! R.I.P. the Orbit

[mstorm007]

yes m8 respect it was the best in the world fact ;)dont let anybody say it different... sven vath use to play there for free... that in its self has to say something ;)

[ballboff]

If there was one defining moment in techno, this is it! Some of the best tunes, in THE best club... end of

[dontthinksosomehow]

Never experienced anything like the orbit, out of this world. still listen to the tunes, the Orbit lives forever.

[078691]

This place fully tapped in to mans primeval instinct for music and dance! still slighty blinded in my left eye from the lasers, loved it. TBH glade its not still there or i wouldn't have been able to get on with my life!

[pistolpete1971whu]

Its odd really back in 92 to 94 Leeds had some of the best clubbing in the world Back to Basics, Up yer Ronson, Vague and this. Vague had the same energy as this but more posey, Back to basic was extremely over rated, Up yer Ronson was OK....But the orbit is the one have so many good memories of, the pure in your power, the sound system, the lights, the great people.....watching this brinsg abck alot of memories.

[gester108]

brings back memories for me too, u could go there on ya own and know loads by 2am, no fighting, no carrying on, doormen carried torches thats it, had some of my best nights in that club!!

[oldstylepaul]

[ahhhhhhhfuck]

JB3 - Forklift (Luke Slater's Filtered Remix)

[anthonybbbb]

so true kate me and mate are on balcony at the end loved it and miss it

[kateyxz2]

I remember setting up with the resident DJ once, no lights, no people, no bass, the place just about empty...sitting on a chair by the decks sipping my water...the dance floor empty... such a rush watching the place fill up. Funny times, grapping someone from behind...dancing, thinking it was a mate, only to find it wasn't, looked nothing like them, a complete stranger! But not for long...there were no strangers in the Orbit..one big happy family.

[rabbitlegs]

Ahh Kate you sum it up perfectly! One big happy family!!!....R.I.P Orbit

[kateyxz2]

Why is it that at 35, it still sends a shiver down my spine, infact anytime I hear a 303 or 808 it sets me off! Long gone are the days, the sexy outfit, the anticipation in the long que outside, the relief I'd feel from the first vibrating pulse as the chemicals and atmosphere absorbed me. All the best DJs, all the best people. Whats a girl to do now after dark???

[joeybg1]

I was there most nights from 1994. Still in mourning, watching these vids just makes it more unbearable - kissed the love of my life in that club!!! so manuy top memories, top feels in the 'unisex' toilets - gosh what a fucking top place - even the pills seemed better back then. Not bad comments for a girl eh??

[UnoHoncho]

Lad I know was a regular here, I went to the Drome in Birkenhead. Seen Joey Beltram there and he was banging just like in this vid.

The pills 'were' better then, £10 for a White Diamond, a Clover, A Rhubarb and Custard, a Dennis the Menace, a Dirty Dollar, A Playboy... MDMA tastic, you'd only need 1 or maybe 2 :o)

[Heirophant69]

am glad to say I was (probably) there that night. Nothing like it when they turn those lights back on at the end of the night.

[oldstylepaul]

what is the first name of the song that you first hear?

[emillio909]

jb3 'forklift' (luke slater's filtered rmx)

[tjcbd2]

that brought back a lot of happy memories for me, thanks. im fillin up...

[anthonybbbb]

good days and i think im on at the end miss the orbit

[DeejayDREAM]

Beltram is different class top vid shame its not longer..

[rabbitlegs]

Im lucky enough to have just about every ORBIT flyer produced....They will be burried with me! Along with some of the best memories of my life!! R.I.P The Afterdark Club

[mrscum]

The people were amazing, The D.J's, and the drugs!! (sorry) Hell even queing up was part of the whole top night!! Esp when they hung that small speaker outside so you could hear the warm up, the whole bloody line were rockin out before we got in there... Christ I miss those days. Respect to EVERYONE who made it happen THANKYOU!!!

[digski]

This just takes me right back there. The best Techno club in the UK. Ave it!

[warpedproject]

HAHAHA Quality footage of the orbit... i too miss that place, awesome vid tho!

[pdf888]

Best club I ever went to. Used to rock every week. Chuffed to have been part of it back in the days of Sven, Dave Angel, Beltram.

[hypercatjohn]

i never made it there so im well jealous, that music is so much better than the electro bullshit thats dominating at the moment, techno fucking rules, yet name me one decent techno night in the north. ...actually i just remembered, superconductor!!

[frani2001]

You wana be jellous you never went to Orbit but best night in the North at the moment has got to be Joy Techno beats @ Mint club, leeds. Joey beltram played there sunday just gone and also played for them last november at Mission.

[hypercatjohn]

nice one, the actual scene isnt the same though is it, people dont go fuckin mad for it anymore, it seems dead conservative now...maybe its just me!

[frani2001]

Gutted I missed this one and all the rest before I found this buzzin club was on mi doorstep!! Come on Some one win lottery n re-open f**ker!

[jacq23]

gutted orbit closed down, miss it loads, was a quality place, cant believe its now a restaurant

[jacq23]

Really miss this club, but am happy that I got to be a part of it for a while. Shame its an effin restaurant now

[rabbitlegs]

The best club in the UK for nearly 10yrs

[biggy209]

this place used to well bang it out.loved the orbit 48

[afunk909]

Nice one!! Wish the Orbit was still on :(
