Enchanted Feedback...

Thought i'd start a thread.

I was highly impressed with pretty much everything, main gripe is with the metal fence wire, a nice range of music throughout the night.

I met up with everyone i had planned too as well and even a few i didnt.

Good to see the ATM posse out in force.

the nextmen's set was ferkin mad

i also reckon it woulda been better if there were toilets on the car park side too

Top night, but i got so worn out from walking around and around that i fell asleep in the car and missed some of the end. but everything else rocked.

man, i think it was the best enchanted i have been to.

met up with people i havent seen for a while, alot more of a choise in music witch was pleasing.

but got to much of "you look so different" or "you lost some weight" crap

but awesome night

from a interaction point of view i DID actually enjoy the night as a whole as it was good to catch up with alot of people i haven't seen in a while.

musically, i was only interested in the house room with a couple of acts here and there in the drum and bass room so i can't comment on the other stages. a good selection of breaks, prog, house and trance which was nice.

i do however have to question the programming, or lack of programming on the whole for the other stages (yes, i did check them all out)
my opinion only but 160bpm's at 4pm?!

more lights could have been employed in the carpark particuly near the perimeter fence (wire fence translates to tripwires for munted people - not very smart!)
we ended up putting glowsticks near ditches and the safe openings in the fence!

shaded areas should have been set up (the 1st event at pt gawler had the big red bull tent at least)

one thing that really concerned me was seeing the amount of offtap 15 year olds (general statement but definately underagers)

regardless of it being an open age event or not, that isn't a good thing and everyone i mentioned it to agreed so take that as you will.

oh, girls... take some pride in your appearance ffs. overweight chicks in gators and hotpants... just say no!

call me jaded if you will, but as i said, i did enjoy the night on the whole (and stayed til stumps) for the interaction but there were a few things that really made me come to the conclusion that i'm over it for the interim.

i'm sticking to music styles i enjoy (eg:- 2 tribes) and beach parties for now.

thanks to the enchanted crew for putting on some enjoyable times!

hmm it was my first outdoor rave! and first enchanted, obviously... it was everything i expected, and more!!! thought more thought coulda been put into the direction the stages were placed... the wind wreaked havoc on a few djs mixes!!!

yeah, loved the park i got (getting there early paid off.. only some tyres to trip over to get back n forth) and was a lil disappointed in food choices (i have been to festivals that have coffee stalls, and vego/alternative food which is a lot nicer at 3am!!) but yeah... loved it!!

the location was great, i enjoyed watching the sun come up over the hills.

i thought most of the chicks in gators looked hot as!! the ones at 6am who were obviously messy-as and couldnt even get their shit together to fix up their wedgies were NOT HOT eww eww please go get changed before u decide to get messy!

hahah anyways yeah....

how was TCM?

yancey :: that is true, but it isn't flattering all the same!

prolly sounds like i'm a prude but catching a glimpse of an ass that resembles lumpy custard packed into warrick cappers shorts... not my thang.

as long as they had a good time then i guess it was worth it for them.

My opinion of the night was it was fu**ing mad!!
Had various styles of music to choose from. But i couldn't be anywhere else besides the main stage. Good to see that Adelaide ravers are still alive. hope to c a few this weekend at ADVENTJAH!!!

Best night of the year as always!

My friend was not feeling so good so we spent more time in the car than we would normally, plus I had a fucked knee so was trying to avoid dancing (unsuccessfully). So many DJ's I wanted to see were on at the same time, so I just wandered around from stage to stage trying to catch a bit of everything.

Sorry I missed you Logik, I wanted to see Mal Chia but never quite made it although I did catch half an hour of Sean Quinn that sounded sweet!

Great vibe, great weather and so good to catch up with so many friends again!

Hope we get a reprise next year at Port Gawler

photos! we want photos!

PHOTOS!!!! now online

i thought u needed a few days rest? ta yancey!

i had a blast. after arriving just in time to see a couple thousand Adelaideans havin it to the breaks on the big dog stage courtesy of john doe, crystal method were a bit of a letdown. Great tunes but some seriously sloppy mixing left me less than inspired. Naturally, I spent the majority of my time in the house area. Phil T played a nice warmup set before Capt. Quinny, ending with the JXL remix of Infusion - 'Legacy' that got the room rocking. As always, The Captain played a cracker of a set working some seriously evil and twisted breaks into the usual progressive goodness.

Congrats to the EF crew for sticking their necks out on the line once again and organising a party of this magnitude. Booyakasha!!!

I can't remember most of it...

But, what I do remember I wrote in the review - just accepted - so I hope that sums it up.

Lots of hard bang bang doof doof - looking for something uplifting in the morning but hardcore was all that could be found Good variety most of the night tho.

Lighting, inflatable stuff, laser... all good.

Glad I bought food and drink with me, yiros and more yiros not my idea of wide variety of food.

Billy Bunter - nice set. Thought Pendulm was great too - glad I got to see half their set. Other highlites were AMS and K-Komplex. Loved Quantum's set early in the night.

Sharkey - good for the first 96 hours... kinda wish he'd lost his voice, yeah..? Was he on two stages at once at one point - he just doesn't give up...

I was in gaitors, sorry no custard ass or hot pants tho.

Stupid fences and tyres and ditches and cement walls - agreed. More lighting at the carpark thanks. Our closest light was vandalised - thanks tools - and so big thanks to the security guards with torches.

Too windy at some stages. Glad for a shower when I got home to wash half of farken PT Gawler out of my hair.

Sad I missed it on the news as top stories on all 3 channels Sat night. Like they were wishing for an OD or death, already written the story and waiting for 'insert raver's name here'.

Great night over all - went too quick as per usual. EF will be missed *sob*

Bout to check out the photos.

got a few hundread pic's to upload, will be online in about 2 hours...
also found that butt pic's

just finished.... 382 photos in my gallery alone..

915 all up.. that should make any raver happy..

any one else (who's a itm photographer) what to add any pic's..
let me know so i can add a gallery space for you.

Overall I had a good night. We got there really early so got a great park too. We left around 3 because there wasnt much point sticking around (imo anyway). Out of the 12 or so hours I was there, only 3 or 4 were actually spent out of the car. Was the first year we left before the sun came up. Always a good thing tho...no one looks pretty the morning after.

Best set goes to Pendulum.

I agree with Logik....I'm pretty much over it!

Twas a night to remember though

Can't remember if I saw you or not Sal!

We spent a lot of time in the car too as my friend was not feeling too good for much of the day / night. I know I missed quite a few acts I wanted to see for one reason or another.

I do love the EF atmosphere tho' and I think it was me rather than the event that didn't quite make it happen like previous years for me.

Still think it is the best party of the year tho'

That was my favorite Enchanted... Had heaps of fun...

The sets between 11pm - 2:30am on the mainstage were MAD!!!

yep - thought it was pretty killer

venue & setup definitely 300% better than the year before

could have done with stadium style seating as per previous Enchanteds

tie for best set of the night:
- Devious vs Jorge Watts w/ Maestro D
- Nextmen w/ Dynamite on the mic

Adam Jay was good. Only saw a bit of Mike Humphries but liked what I saw, have been told he was a bit sloppy with the mixing though

Enchanted was sick.

Pendulum ruled even though it was at 5pm.
Scott brown, sharkey was goin hard.

My legs were so sore from dancin for about 14 hours.

Sad to see that its the last outdoors but we need people to try to get it held back at pt gawler each year instead of a city enchanted.

i'd be happy with pt gawler every year...

i think noddy suggested elsewhere that if the venue was known every year than over the preceeding 12 months steps can gradually be taken to ensure the venue is fully prepped each time instead (keeping dust down, adequate foliage, paths from carpark -> venue mapped out). yes the whole 'secret location' is out the window but this way Adelaide still gets a massive outdoor party under the stars instead of a innercity day party.

Just say the word Oddy, and I will be there with my welly's, spade and gardening gloves ... to make the place look beautiful :-)

Best Enchanted yet and probalnly the best party I have ever been to.

AWESOME crowd, INCREDIBLE production & layout and BRILLIANT tunes.

Highlights:
Billy Bunter
Shapeshifter
Kenny Ken
DJ Lee
K Complex
John Doe
H-Bomb & Myself (had a fucking ball)
Devious & Jorge Watts

Lowlights:
Mike Humphries
Crystal Method

My vote goes for Pt Gawler every year!!!! Enchanted simply wouldnt be the same as a day party.

mike humphries did lose me by the end...

yeah i liked his first hour, and left after that, probably a good thing too, i needed a rest.

i only heard Humphries first 20 mins which was spot on,

& his last 10 or 15 which was a bit sloppy

stormin tunes from what i heard though

I had a cranker as always!! Good to see a lot of old friends out and about. Even the kiddies behaved pretty well Very good atmosphere/vibe around!

Definitely will bring wire cutters and get my vengeance if its ever down there again - I had enough trouble standing on two feet for those fences to keep screwing with me @_@

As for music - Great, but not what I expected - specially from Crystal Method.. Pendulum and Bunter were my stand out sets. Was a bit to techy for me this year & would have liked some harder crankin base lines to get me jumpin - but I'm just getting old I guess.. Will have to get a glow-walking cane for future raving ;p

Badger Mushroom Snake was a Hoot!! Big ups to Cheeky-B who was pulling off some wellwicked dance moves in the Badger suit - Loved it

Cheers,

haha thats even funnier!!
