Hi

My name’s djwuggs and I was what was known as a raver in Glasgow in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. I then turned my hand to a bit of dj’ing when I thought there was better music out there than I could hear in the clubs. My friends and I organised a few illegal raves and a few club nights in Glasgow under the short lived “europort” banner. All in all we didn’t conquer the world but we did our little bit in the story of the Glasgow club scene.

The europort blog is about deep house, acid and techno from 1988 to 1992, and is a tribute to Glasgow clubs The Warehouse (DJ Paul), UFO at Tin Pan Alley (DJ’s Adrian, Lars, Scott and Boydie) and Europort (my own club).

You can find out about my new music on the europort recordings glasgow page.

Hope you enjoy…and please feel free to comment.

  1. Hey Wuggs, just wanted to say thanks for sharing on this site and thanks for all the great nights at Europort. Did you ever find the name of “I am the giant man” on that Scott tape?

  2. Started my club career at Insomnia in 89 just as I started my £29 a week YTS. Man I wish they had mobile phones with cameras back then. Love that you’ve made these posts. I’ve searched the web for ages looking for something like this! Anyways it’s sad that the warehouse is no longer as I would love too revisited that old nut hut! Peace bro

    • Yeah I kind of wish there were some pics from back in the day, saying that part of me is pretty glad our Saturday night antics weren’t all over Facebook by Monday morning. No wonder the kids don’t party so hard these days….

  3. Divided we may be. Scotland’s number one club for Love, Respect and Friendship. Alley Posse.
    The Triangle of Life. The torches.
    Great finding this thread once more.
    Tin Pan Alley, Network and Europort remember them well to a certain degree. A special time for sure. Happy Memories.

  4. Hi Wuggs !!

    Long time no see. Hope you are doing well buddy.

    Love your article and summary of the Europort rave in the barn that we had back in 1991.
    Reading through it brought back so many good memories. I was the mate of wee Dave who did the lights at the rave that night. I was the DJ who played before you and left my record on the turntables. Really funny that you mentioned that which brought back all the memories. For weeks after that event I always wondered where that Rozzalla 12 inch was cos I couldnt find it in my record boxes.I still have the empty sleeve for that in one of my boxes to this day !!

    Remember we also helped with setting up that night with all the lights and stage etc. I remember even going up to the farm several weeks before on a few occasions to check the place out and see what we had to prepare for. That dodgy old dirt track road up the barn was crazy and not the easiest to drive up. Cant believe all those busses made it up there with all the mud.

    Anyway thought I would drop you a mail to say hi and let you know I am good and have been living in Berlin Germany now for 25 years !! Still love the music and still spinning tunes after all these years. Hope you are too.

    Cheers
    Grant
