🚨 DENIS McBRIDE — HANGAR 13 | THE CLUB OF THE FUTURE 🚨

🏴 SCOTLAND. THE 1990s. THE RAVE REVOLUTION.

In the early 90s, Scotland was at the centre of an explosion in electronic music. And in an old pavilion in Ayr, something extraordinary was happening.

It was called HANGAR 13.

A nightclub that became legendary. A place where thousands of young people travelled from across Scotland and beyond, every Saturday night, to experience something they'd never forget.

🎧 Ultra-Sonic. TTF. The Prodigy. Hardfloor. Ramirez. QFX. Joey Beltram. And of course, the legendary DJ Trevor Reilly.

But behind the music, the lasers and the madness was a man with a vision.

This week on The Hashtag Show, Scott sits down with Denis McBride, the man who, alongside Trevor Reilly, created one of the most iconic venues in Scottish dance music history.

From working as a van driver and promoting small club nights in Paisley, to the hugely successful LOVE nights in Glasgow and eventually creating Hangar 13, Denis takes us right back to where it all began.

We also talk about the incredible Mallorca Lee, why Scottish artists don't always receive the recognition they deserve, and the importance of creating something that people will remember for the rest of their lives.

More than 30 years later, people still talk about those Saturday nights in Ayr.

This is the story of the man who helped make them happen.
