| has gloss | eng: The Brain is a historically important house and techno club in Soho, London. It was located on the former premises of the Apollo Club on 11 Wardour Street . The Brain was founded in 1989 by Sean McLusky and Mark Wigan Williams. Several now famous DJs and producers played at the club, including Norman Cook, Orbital, Leftfield, Billy Nasty, Goldie, Moby, Graeme Park, The Shamen, Mixmaster Morris, Ariel, Andrew Weatherall, and A Guy Called Gerald. At the time there was little actual live performance on the techno scene (this would change later with the advent of raves). The Brain encouraged live sets and P.As at a time when only mainstream house music used vocals on tracks (see Rising High Collective). |
