March - London: Trouble Ahead? In a newspaper report at that time it seemed that there could have been some troubled times ahead for the pay party scene in general.
The then Home Secretary David Waddington QC pleaded with anyone with a voice on the back benches to propose a private members bill that would reinforce the legislature in place at that time.

April
April - London: Trip City Starting with a host of one-off parties spread out all over London, the "Rat Pack", led by DJ, singer and organiser Evenson Allen also moved with the procession to started to host "Trip City" on a weekly basis near the Elephant and Castle in south-east London.
As the thirst for acid house reached it's all-time peak, Trip City gradually became one of the busiest club nights in London.
Although having a full-to-capacity venue could be seen as been onto a good thing, the more successful the club became, the more unwarranted attention the club received.
The organisers started to also get the same unwelcomed attention and demands from the different underground type of crowd leaving Trip City to disband soon after.

April - London: Labrynth All is well as the Labrynth team decided to hold their latest party in a dissused warehouse at Silvertown Way in Canning Town, east London.
Sensing a business opportunity, an unknown east-end gang attempted to take-over the front door and cash desk, lead promoter Joe Wieczorek refuses to let them.
Wieczorek's initial defiance leads to a three men team sneaking into the back of the building and randomly attacking people with machetes.
Joe is threatened at gun point and at that moment Joe decides to get out of the illegal party scene altogether.
A couple of months later, Joe and Labrynth will turn into a semi-legal operation when they move into a licenced venue, the Four Aces club in Dalston, east London.

April - Liverpool: The Underground Things are moving a pace in central Liverpool, Daisy organiser James Barton consolidated his share on Merseyside by joining forces with business partner and local DJ John Kelly to buy-out a "sharon-and-tracey-sticky-carpet" venue on Victoria Street in the city centre.
After refurbishing the building and some serious thought, the partners where still undecided on the venues new name, the parnters thought the original "Nights Alive" would do for it's re-opening - after a re-think, "The Underground" was ready for business.

April – National: Shut Up and Dance With the serious lack of "A & R" in the british hip-hop scene at that time, "PJ" [ a.k.a Philip Johnson ] and "Smiley" [ a.k.a Carlton Hyman ] also better known as the east-end rap duo "Shut Up And Dance" are suprised by that their music is been played at raves as they have never heard of or been to a pay party!.
Inspired by the underground ethics of United States Hip-Hop, PJ & Smiley decided to start their own label to help promote their new record "5, 6, 7, 8" and the emerging "breakbeat" sound.
Based out of the back of PJ's beaten-down Ford Escort, the pairing became pleasantly surprised when their record took off and become an over-night pay party anthem.
