YOU'LL MISS US WHEN WE'RE GONE! AFTER NINE YEARS OF TOP CLASS CLUBNIGHTS, WORLD RENOWNED TECHNO NIGHT, VOODOO, WILL BE CLOSING IN JUNE 2002. THE CLUB HAS SEEN EVERY TECHNO LUMINARY GRACE IT'S DECKS OVER THE YEARS AND HAS BEEN A CONSTANT SOURCE OF QUALITY AND HEDONISM. STARTED IN APRIL 1993, THE EVENT HAS HAD MANY 'LIVES' AT MANY VENUES ACROSS LIVERPOOL, HAS FEATURED DJS SUCH AS DAVE CLARKE, CHARLIE HALL, KRIS NEEDS, DARREN PRICE & DAVID HOLMES AMONGST IT'S ONE TIME RESIDENTS, SEEN TRENDS FALL AND RISE BUT REMAINED 100% UNDERGROUND THROUGHOUT. NEVER WAVERING WHILE COMBINING THE SCENES BIGGEST PLAYERS WITH THE BEST UP AND COMING ARTISTS PROVIDING, A VITAL LIFEBLOOD TO THE ENGLISH TECHNO WORLD. WITHOUT OUTLETS FOR UP AND COMING ARTISTS LIKE VOODOO, THE BIGGER MORE COMMERCIAL NIGHTS WOULD NOT HAVE THE NEW DJS TO KEEP THEIR LINE UPS FRESH! IT WILL BE A SAD DAY WHEN VOODOO FINALLY CLOSES, AS IT'S BEEN SUCH A HUGE PART OF SO MANY PEOPLES LIVES, FROM THE PROMOTERS TO DJS TO STAFF AND MOSTLY THE DEDICATED CLUBBERS - ALL OF WHOM COMBINE TO MAKE VOODOO THE SPECIAL ENTITY IT IS.

WATCH OUT FOR NEWS ON THIS SOON. 9 YEARS IS A LONG TIME FOR AN UNDERGROUND CLUBNIGHT TO RUN AND VOODOO INTENDS TO GO OUT WITH A SERIES OF BANGS. THE FUTURE WILL SEE MORE WORK & RELEASES ON THE VOODOO RECORDS LABEL AND A WELL EARNED BREAK FOR THE CLUBS PROMOTERS! TO QUOTE THE END OF DAVID LYNCH'S ELEPHANT MAN - NOTHING EVER DIES.
