Warehouse closing report by Christof Damian for planet.e

     WAREHOUSE IN COLOGNE HAS BEEN CLOSED!
     =====================================

     Last friday the 29.7.94 the police busted the
     Warehouse/Cologne. With about 300 policemen (150 of them
     went inside) the caught 4 people with illegal drugs and
     powders that are not identified yet. All of them are out
     of prison again, because they were between 18 and 23 years
     old and it was their first time dealing with the police.
     But the owner and manager of Warehouse Jena remains in
     prison. The Cologne police was observing the Warehouse the
     last three months and it will never be opened again.

     Too bad, I really liked the Warehouse. Everytime I visted
     my family in Bonn I went to the Warehouse too, a lot of the
     Warehouse DJs and the Manager were supporting the
     Housenation from the begining of Acid in Germany. For the
     Popcomm '94 there were 5 special evenings planned with lots
     of guest DJs in the Warehouse.

     Because the Ballhaus/Bonn is closed at the moment too, there
     are no places left in the area Cologne/Bonn where you are
     able to listen to really good DJs and innovative music.
     (There are still a lot of techno and house clubs left, but
     these are only cheap clones to make money, "low spirit").

     If this is the beginning of a new politic of Cologne, than
     it might be a begining for a new underground. Because one
     thing is clear:

             They can put us in prison,
             they can forbid our party,
             they can take our drugs away,
             but the music is in our mind and our mind is free,
             and we will never stop dancing, because the beat
             goes on and
                     on and on and on ....

     rave on
