Does anyone agree Tom Abbot resembles 'Steady Eddie' ? I think he's the splitting image .

Toms at every HMC gig Ive ever been to. And Ive been to a few. Hes usually grinning.
Does anyone know how cam got into techno? Was anyone in Australia doing what he was? How can I find out more about the adelaide scene back in the day? All I remember is that in Melbourne it was widely regarded that Adelaide had a brilliant scene, with a unique flavor. peeps used to come over for parties etc. No chance of that ever happening again. HMC was the main reason! Also - was GT actually good once?

I have seen GT play a bit of techno but i wouldn't call him good , he's just like a typical sat night heaven dj . Most memorable of his sets that i have seen was a set he played before Claude Young at wayville years ago .

As for HMC he is best when he plays deep and hard techno journeys , To me that is where his heart lies as he does it so well !!!i don't really care for his electro/house sets he has played lately , he doesn't really seem to connect with the dancefloor its like he is playing for other people besides himself . I remember seeing an interview on sbs with HMC saying one of his most memorable sets was in scottland when after he finished the whole crowd rushed to the decks !!! that is the power he posesses if only he can find it again . I have hope .

GT that night was absolutely awesome. I think he showed a fair few people that he is a bit more than just a Sat night Heaven DJ. Pity he hasn't played anything similar since!

Is he going to be playing more regularly again? At tonks tomorrow in Melb, played at Isobar + Sugar here etc, I dunno. Is he in with Fatal and the ATC crew? Not to say we try and get him to play there, but it seems he operates outside of evrything else that goes down.

I saw GT at Richie Hawtin last time Richie was here... he must like to bang it around a bit!

I spotted Trainer as well... the guy next to him.. christ... now we're pushing the memory now! That's taking me all the way back. Wink

Back in the day HMC and Groove Terminator were on the box doing their thing Friday & Saturdays at Metro.

1991 was the earliest I peeked into one of these but it was certainly happening prior.

Once again, wish I could have made it. not happy

Times change. I do remember at Release (or was it Jigsaw - which had the stage in the middle of the Vision Warehouse) when he dropped some nasty UR, like Suburban Knight's "Nocturbulous Behaviour"... nasty bad ass shit! Big Grin
