====Legal and underground raves (1994–present)==== After 1993, the main outlet for raves in the UK were a number of licensed parties, amongst them [[Helter Skelter (rave music promoter)|Helter Skelter]], Life at Bowlers (Trafford Park, Manchester), The Edge (formerly the Eclipse [Coventry]), The Sanctuary (Milton Keynes) and Club Kinetic.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.rezerection.net/main.html | title = REZERECTION – THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE (z) | access-date =25 October 2007 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070928062044/http://www.rezerection.net/main.html <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = 28 September 2007}}</ref> In London, itself, there were a few large clubs that staged raves on a regular basis, most notably "[[The Laser Dome]]", "The Fridge", "[[Hippodrome, Aldershot|The Hippodrome]]", "Club U.K.", and "Trade." "The Laser Dome" featured two separate dance areas, "Hardcore" and "Garage", as well as over 20 video game machines, a silent-movie screening lounge, replicas of the "Statue of Liberty", "San Francisco Bridge", and a large glass maze. In Scotland, event promoters Rezerection held large-scale events across the country.<ref>{{Cite web |title=History |url=https://www.rezerection.net/history/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140701134205/https://www.rezerection.net/history/ |archive-date=2014-07-01|access-date=2021-04-12 |website=Rezerection |language=en-GB}}</ref> By 1997, the popularity of weekly [[Superclub]] nights had taken over from the old Rave format, with a raft of new club-based genres sweeping in (e.g. Trance, Hard House, Speed and UK garage) alongside the more traditional House sound that had regained popularity. Clubs like [[Gatecrasher One|Gatecrasher]] and [[Cream (nightclub)|Cream]] rose to prominence with dress codes and door policies that were the polar opposite of their rave counterparts; stories of refused entry due to not wearing the right clothing were commonplace, but seemingly did nothing to deter Superclub attendance.{{Citation needed|date=November 2017}}
