Aahz 92

This Site Is Dedicated to all the OLD SKOOL Clubbers of the 88-94 era. Plus all the NU SKOOL crowd that would like to enjoy a piece of the visionary and legendary nights we called



"AAHZ"



The club that served as a platform to bring Sasha and John Digweed to America for the first time, and establish the early "progressive" sound that would become synonymous with clubbers and DJs alike for years to come.



"That time in history as we know it is not easily repeated or replicated. meaning, I don't think anyone new or even the past few years will get the same experience or at least the full experience. and I mean that only from the standpoint that when it all started, at least for me, in 1988/89, there were no rules and we just "felt" our way through it. Everyone was accepted and embraced. "



Well my name is Shane and I'm married to the most amazing woman, my soul mate Shannon. I met Shannon in Orlando at the "Aahz" nightclub in July, 1992. What a summer!!!! One we'll never forget.



Remember this 4th of July party???



Shannon and I have had one hell of a journey since then. We have 3 wonderful kids, that love our music I must add. We have longed to meet, talk to, and reminisce with all of you that experienced the wonderful world of AAHZ. The unity we had. The love that was felt . We have searched for a very long time to find some of the people and music we were so fond of. We are very happy to have found all of you!!



AAHZ



Was our home away from home. We lived for Sat. night. Everyone of you that we met or x-perienced the "ERA" with us are and will always be held close to our hearts.



ENJOY THE MUSIC AND SPREAD THE WEALTH!!!!



Peace Out To You and Yours



Shannon and Shane

Quotes:



"If they only heard about it and didn’t see it then there’s no way in a million years that they’ll ever be able to understand, Kimball Collins



1991-1992, Orlando experienced its own "summer of love" through the culture that sprang up around the weekend acid-house nights at the Beacham Theater presided over by Collins and Dave Cannalte, and nurtured by Beacham promoter StaceBass



Collins had become an expert at producing the build-ups and breaks that cause crowds to experience orgiastic frenzies, and the scene was beginning to gel. The elements of a communal spiritual vibe, unorthodox fashion and mutual respect became characteristic of the night. But one more element was added into the mix -- pure, safe, uncut ecstasy had reached Orlando. "Let’s just say it was a right combination of all of the above," says Collins." Matt Kelemen



"I never knew what happiness was. It changed my life."



"From what I could see, its graduates appeared to have come through "Aahz" with their brain cells intact and their self-esteem buttressed. Hands up if you can say the same about your old school."
