Next up in our Around The World Series is a classic trance/progressive house mix from the superb Simon Murray from Belfast, Northern Ireland.



Simon has delivered an exceptional 'A History of Lush!, Portrush 1997-2002' Mix which is spread brilliantly over 3.5 hours and 2 parts (The Main Room) and (The Journey Home).



Simon Murray is a veteran of the Northern Ireland clubbing scene from the 1990's', he previously worked for Baseline Magazine. Launched in 1995 Baseline Magazine connected with the burgeoning dance music scene at that time and growth with it. In 1998, Baseline merged with Belfast magazine Blank to become BBM and the following year, the magazine became the first in local history to win the prestigious IPR/BT Magazine of the Year award.



Kelly's Complex in Portrush on Northern Ireland's north coast is home to Lush! Nightclub. Setting the standard for clubbing in Northern Ireland since 1995 it has attracted some of the world's top DJs and hosts regular BBC Radio 1 dance events.



Still going strong after 25 years, Simon's two-part mix encapsulates the period from 1997 - 2002; when to many at that time Lush! was perhaps the greatest club in the world, with the world's biggest DJ's at the time appeared on a weekly basis.
