Simon Hobart
Simon Hobart (September 24, 1964 – October 23, 2005) was one of the most influential figures in British gay nightlife of his era. He was most famous for creating the hugely popular, long-running alternative nightclub Popstarz at London's Scala. He was also the owner and promoter of Soho venues Ghetto (which hosted the Nag Nag Nag night) and Trash Palace.
==Early career==
He began his career as a promoter and DJ at a Westbourne Grove goth club in the early 80s, the KitKat. In 1984, a photo of him in full goth regalia was splashed across the front page of the tabloid ''The Sun'', above the caption "Godfather of Goth." Hobart took the fall for the first club raid on London’s first all-night club. Police (dressed as goths) surveiled the soon-to-be infamous venue and saw no club managers or owners at the place: just the 20-year-old DJ. 200 police descended upon the premises. Hobart got away with community service and the club became wildly popular.
Following the huge success of the night, he went on to open another club that became a legend of its time, Bedrock. He has said in interviews that he promoted the club's opening night (3 February 1989 At Oxfords, 21 Oxford street W1) by not letting anyone in, forcing them in a long queue outside, but blasting the music and pretending it was packed to capacity inside. There was immediate buzz about the new, "wildly successful" indie dance night.
His growing reputation led to DJ residencies at Heaven. Simon then moved into Drum and Bass - opening two major underground DnB nights, Fusion and Vivid, both having capacities of about 1200 people.
