Really nice read. You can see that same 'Sheffield' spirit with a lot of creatives here today, there's just something about this city.
The design work from tDR for the PlayStation launch title wipEout really was a total game-changer. That work has influenced design well beyond videogames which you still see today.
I think the old Warp Records store on Division St is now Rudy's Pizza?
...and its predecessor FON was across the road in what is now a vape shop (formerly Green and Benz jewellers). Bought most of my early vinyl from there.
So pleased to see Warp and Artificial Intelligence appear in The Tribune!
As an electronic music fan it’s always disappointed me a little that for many Sheffield music seems to start and end at the Arctic Monkeys.
I would love to learn about the rave scene in Sheffield — must have been great for it with all the warehouses. I know DiY were down in Notts but were there any famous Sheffield crews?
This kind of article is why I subscribe to Tribune - a substantial but very readable article on a Sheffield story I was only vaguely aware of, given that my interest in electronic music sparked and shorted half a century ago. (Still have my favourite Pink Floyd LP, though!)
The spirit of this is wonderful, great to read about the atmosphere and people that made Sheffield so appealing when we were kids. The history of electronic music in this city is fascinating.
Great article, thank you. Did they give any indication whether they'd come back to Sheffield now market location isn't perhaps as important as it once was?
Great to hear directly from the local people who have such a worldwide cultural impact. History of Sheffield electronic music + Sheffield design = ripe for a very cool exhibition, if there hasn't been one recently.

As a Rotherham ‘girl’ - so pleased it gets a mention in this fascinating story.
12" records have more space but also have a better quality sound - so you can really get that bass booming across the dancefloor.

Great article Dan.
Beautiful work.
