The best 3 events ever in Adelaide!!

Future downstairs at the Catacombs, Adelaide Uni ('94??)
Jeff Mills' sunday night show after Adelaide Uni event – the wizard in full effect!
HMC @ Isobar 2004.

Richie Hawtin at the Lion Arts, 96?
Mills @ Heaven any number of times...
and i agree HMC @ Isobar in 2004 was a great comeback with Damez and Dan Blok live.

Couldn't narrow it down to just 3, but some good nights I recall:

Synergy (?) parties @ the Synagogue
Future parties @ Lerox basement
Richie Hawtin @ Synagogue in 94
Derrick May @ Lerox in 94 (despite the support dj, some Syd happy hard guy)
HMC saturdays @ Crown and Scepter 95/96
the Dirty House parties

+ lots of others..

HMC @ Isobar 2004.

Marco Carola at the Young Street Caprpark rave in 98(?) would be one of the best sets ive seen.
The time I heard HMC mix in a fire alarm at Minke
re Isobar 2004, that was a crazy set indeed. An hmc stand out Id have to say.

A party in the basement of Le Rox / Vultrek around '91 or '92

& Freedom at a scouts hall, on the river in Port Adelaide, again 91 or 92, can't remember... still one of the best parties I've ever been to 8)

Future Music for me recently would have to be one of the best parties I have ever been to in Adelaide. Well organised, great variety of tunes and awesome vibe.

Others to come to mind are -

Fantazia in the Lerox warehouse in 94
Electronic Wilderness in 96 out at Mclaren Vale
James Holden upstairs at the old Minke in 2004 for one of the Fabric shows.
Strawberry Fields (can't remember the year) at St Pauls with Patrick Reid, Union Jack and Art of Trance.
Darren Emerson and Carl Cox show in one of the car park shows years back.
Ultraworld 3 at Lerox in 95

I know this is more than three but all were wicked nights. :rock:

Zulu nation party at HQ - finally i got to see Lord Finesse

Easter Super Jam at viva - dope lineup and all acts killed it

Obese block Party at Viva - fucking brilliant night, everyone was superb and funkoars tore the stage to shreds


Back in the day parties - EF 2, OUAT @ port Adelaide warehouse, Hawtin @ young street car park, DJ A-Trak @ synagogue circa 97

agree there, didn't see him in the morning, but he played some nice
stuff in the Berlin room (as i call it).
shame he's never made it back to Adelaide.

where was this NYE 2000 party? i'm sure i was there, but i remember nothing :(

2005 Sunshine Jones from Dubtribe @ sugar.... 4 my Birthday party with losts of my friends from intersate & o/s would be only Adelide party that would be in my top five events anywhere having brought him out for the event i had high expectations & he claered that bar with a gold medal performance

Dirty House party at Uni to Close Fringe Festival HMC in fine form Universal Dust & Toy Death live

~1998 Massive Attack @ Thebbie... ahhh the cookies & the bass

Glastonbury 1992 is best ever event I have been to saturday night line up at nme stage had the orb happy mondays primal scream shamen with Andy Weatherall djing inbetween
& though that was the paek of the gestival at other times saw Blur, Television, The Fall, Curve, PJ Harvey, , James, The Breeders, Billy Bragg, Van Morrison, & Spiritualized,
this glastonbury is also source of my bigest disappointment at an event which was not knowing until afterwards underworld did one of their first live performances

.... from dirty.org
"At Glastonbury 1992, they camped out on the fringes of the festival with some like-minded collaborators and set up the Experimental Sound Field, an improvised, ever-mutating hybrid of DJing and live performance which lasted from noon till dawn. "That really was the blueprint for Underworld," says Karl. "We couldn't go back after that. And we'd still like to play for 18 hours." They may have become more concise but to this day Underworld don't use set lists."

:bow:

Pulse....the Dom Polski shows when they we're running fortnightly...


Totally agree with you there michaela, I use to help set up these shows (mambos' at the glenelg SLSC, That underage gig out near west beach sailing club, the old lion shows, the freemasons place, I even remember doing PULSE' shows out at murry bridge) I use to love meeting people and watching the whole scene make something of itself.

I also thought that the Go - Imagineer parties over 4 weeks in the 1992 Fringe was also up there

Mr S, would have to agree there as well. I remember they had a sk8 ramp on the dance floor and as I was off chops and with sk8board. I proceded to make a fool of myself rolling up and jumping into ppl who were dancing.

in that list I would also have

Lenny Dee- (93...I think) at the Arkaba- it was weird as I used dj uzi (gary?) to get into the show (by getting a lift to the show from a underage gig and then by carrying his record box straight inside hehe)


Liquid NYE @ LeRox 1992/1993 (Dream Frequency live PA)
Jigsaw @ vision warehouse 1993

both wicked gigs but I would have to say the time I went to mcmahons for the "ELECTRIC COOLAID 24HR TEST" 24 hrs of dancing and frivolity heheh. Did mcmahons ever have statues on either side of the dj booth....please someone tell me there was.
