Well as I cast my mind back to the year 1999 I was DJ jing in Leeds and I had been to Turnips, sorry Turnmills, the previous week for the first time and I never knew a club “traded” (excuse the pun) at those times!</p><p>I was invited by the these guys that I had met at the club Melt the week before and they were avid trade goers. One of them is one of my best friends now and well-known Trade pyromaniac, Wyn!!</p><p>Well I'd just driven for 3 hours after a gig and it was about 6am and there was steam coming off the brickwork down the side of the venue. As we hit the top of the stairs this throbbing bass just hit me, then once inside it's another wow, and holy shit this is really busy!!! We are in it…the best atmosphere I’ve ever experienced in such a small space. It was mental and I will never forget it and after that we pretty much went every week :-)</p><p> </p><p>Q2: What is your most embarrassing TRADE moment?</p><p> I don’t get embarrassed but if I did it would be falling down the stairs… </p><p> </p><p>Q3: What is your ultimate TRADE anthem?</p><p>Jeeeezzzz what a question for a dj…erm…'Inside out' by Joff Roach, and the sample says it all “party time” </p><p> </p><p>Q4: Why do you think TRADE has stood the test of time in club land?</p><p> High Standards, quality branding, its attention to detail and of course,Trade was like an art gallery!! Plus the sheer love from all the great people that have graced the doors over the years talking about what an amazing piece of history it is.</p><p> </p><p>Q5: What are you most looking forward to at the forthcoming TRADE Birthday?</p><p>Seeing all the people that I’ve met over the years come together dare I say As one?</p><p> </p><p>Q6: Who is the most famous person you have kissed at TRADE?</p><p>Erm hang on…George Michael…No that was a dream! I mean, George Mitchell....wait …oh I can’t think it must be Yvette The Conqueror!!</p> <p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4600822201.jpg" width="460" height="461" alt="Massimo Paramour" title="Massimo Paramour"/></p> <p>MASSIMO PARAMOUR</p><p></p><p>Q1: What is your first memory of TRADE?</p><p>It was 1996 and I had just moved to London. I had heard a lot about this party, and I got quite curious, but as I didn’t have any gay friends in the city I had to check it out on my own. I remember that, as I got in, it was like descending into Dante’s inferno; I suddenly found myself squeezed between a multitude of sweaty bouncing bodies. I could barely see around me because of the smoke. The music was quite dark and fast, but incredibly exciting. I felt a bit out of place and overwhelmed at first, but after an hour or so I was completely absorbed by it.</p><p></p><p>Q2: What is your most embarrassing TRADE moment? </p><p>I remember feeling very embarrassed when people kept coming up to me asking if I needed some drugs or if I was bored, as I was always standing in a corner without dancing; actually I was enjoying the music pretty much, I was in my own world, but sometime I wished I was invisible .Things changed with time, but it took a while!</p><p></p><p>Q3: What is your ultimate TRADE anthem?</p><p>Celvin Rotane 'I Believe', Force Mass Motion 'Pulse' and Play This House' Hard House Mix by Bum Bum Club. </p><p></p><p>Q4: Why do you think TRADE has stood the test of time in clubland?</p><p>Because of its uniqueness. I saw a lot of clubs in my life, but nothing quite like Trade!</p><p> </p><p>Q5: What are you most looking forward to at the forthcoming TRADE Birthday?</p><p>I’ve always been a big fan of Egg London as a venue, and even though I miss Turnmills a lot, I think it’s the perfect place for such event! I’m also really looking forward to playing there..it's a dream come true!!</p><p> </p><p>Q6: Who is the most famous person you have kissed at TRADE?</p><p>I'm not into celebs…lol:-)</p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4600822207.jpg" width="460" height="708" alt="" title=""/></p> <p>ROSCO BRADY</p><p></p><p>Q1: What is your first memory of TRADE?</p><p>When I was 18 I was set to DJ in Stockholm but due to passport issues, I was stuck in London at midnight with no money. My school friends were all going to the Trade 10th Birthday and I had nowhere else to go! Laurence generously put me on the guest list but I was refused entry at the door!!! I was carrying my record box and an overnight bag with me too. After a short wait I was allowed in and I had the wildest most memorable night of my life!!! I was completely, absolutely hooked. I'd never seen anything like it being straight and from the North!!!</p><p></p><p>Q2: What is your most embarrassing TRADE moment?</p><p>Going to the toilet mid way through my set! I was playing the 11 minute long 'Show Me Love' by Fruitloop at the time and coming back to the DJ booth to realise the door code had been changed. After a mild panic the lighting technician came back just before the record had ended. I quickly grabbed Never Lost His Hardcore and started it at the 'This is not over yet' sample which saved the day!</p><p></p><p>Q3: What is your ultimate TRADE anthem?</p><p>NRG's 'Never Lost His Hardcore' - the Baby Doc Remix</p><p></p><p>Q4: Why do you think TRADE has stood the test of time in club land?</p><p>Trade has an unrelenting hedonistic attitude and atmosphere that you can't find anywhere else. Coupled with the way everyone is equal, the progressive music policy and stunning visual identity with stunning artwork plus Laurence's exquisite taste in all areas nothing comes close. </p><p></p><p>Q5: What are you most looking forward to at the forthcoming TRADE Birthday?</p><p>Playing my pumping set to a crowd of wonderful people and sampling Trade anthems through modern tracks, which I love doing for the Trade crowd.</p><p></p><p>Q6: Who is the most famous person you have kissed at TRADE?</p><p>HRH Laurence Malice!!!</p><p></p><p></p><p>Enter the Trade Birthday Tickets competition here</p><p> </p>
