Laurence then hosted a club night at London’s Heaven, named "Pyramid", where he hired up and coming DJ’s Mark Moore, later of S-Express fame, and Colin Faver. ‘It was the first place in England to play house music.’ Commercial recognition followed when his band, Big Bang, scored a couple of dance hits, which then indirectly led to his first club "Xanadu" at Turnmills. Turnmills was literally down the road from Big Bang’s agent, "10 X Better", whose office was in Clerkenwell Road. After a meeting one day at "10 X Better", Big Bang popped into Turnmills with their agent for lunch. That was how Laurence discovered Turnmills. That was in the winter of 1989/1990. Soon after, Laurence hosted his first club night "Xanadu" at Turnmills, which he ran with Robert Pereno. "Xanadu" attracted a strong following from day one.
