funnily enough Ive been to a cool venue in london - the eq warehouse , which unfortunately seems to be predominantly psy trance nonsense, however they have a huge chillout room with lots of cushions and they stick to playing dubs/breaks and other non-trance random bizness in there which is pretty cool. I have to say the vibe is def firendlier than a lot of clubs Ive been too , just a shame they dont ditch the psy and bust out the sounds of tha D :)
