Sell adelaide to me!!

Okay! Now I've grabbed your attention.....I don't ACTUALLY want to BUY Adelaide.....what i mean is can you convince me that i will be happy to move from my home in the North of England where we can see a top name DJ EVERY week!! We are CRAZY about house music...it's a MASSIVE part of our lives (funky/electro preferably)....
I have heard that there's NOTHING to do in Adelaide.....full of 'Oldies' I was told today!!

So i'm hoping that you guys will 'Sell Adelaide to me' and MAKE me want to come (in the travelling kinda sense!!)

Snoo,XX

heaps of clubs n bars play house/funk/electro.

top name dj: you can see HMC every week playing funk, and once a month plays house/techno.

there's heaps more on if you are willing to go underground, there's also heaps of live acts.

Not to mention Adelaide is home to the best arts festivals in Asutralia, the Adelaide Fringe http://tix.adelaidefringe.com.au/ticketing/Home.aspx (every Feb/March) and the Adelaide Festival in March (every two years).http://www.adelaidefestival.com.au/

There's also Womadelaide http://www.womadelaide.com.au/

everything is here in Adelaide. it might be small compared to other cities but like everything in life, it's what you make of it!

Friend of mine who lives accross the road is from england and he thought there was no music for him here either. It seems everyone from o/s thinks whatever style they listen to is far to obscure to have any following in australia. Its not true! We have an abundance of what people call "funky/electro" house. I can give you a quick list of places that I frequent, being a house lover myself. But these days what people call electro is getting further and further from what electro actually is so dont know quite what u mean. Anyway

Sugar
Electric Circus
Electric Light
Mile High (opens 4-9am) Rock :rock:
Botanic
Lotus Lounge

and thats just to name a few. If your into your more commercial "electro house", theres a million and one different places to go here that play that style of music. But sorry I'm not going to list those places as I dont wanna support their cheese. ***Cough***vodka bar***cough****evil****Cough*****

unfulfilled potential

How conformist, inward looking, stifling etc is Adelaide? I'm in Sydney and reckon from my own experience its materialistic, very conformist, stifling work [even small business] culture, suffocating corporate culture, thinks its the bees nees but just like a smaller city on steroids I reckon.

LOL! It's an Adelaide dish let's say. If you come here, just try one and see what you think.

Like all places, Adelaide does have it's good points and bad points. It can be fun if you know where to look and who you hang out with. I wouldn't call it action central though. The club and party scene here is big enough to keep it going but I wouldn't call it huge. A good house scene, massive drum and bass and hard dance scene and a small trance scene on the rise.

Depends on what you want if you want to live in Adelaide which will depend on whether you enjoy it or not. I have been to other cities and lived overseas as well (lived in the UK for two years) and coming home has taken some adjustment. Just my honest two cents worth...

When you say application, what visa you going for? You coming here on a working holidayor a work permit?

House is more than just music.....it is a way of life

Hi Zeus
Ummm very confusing all these visa's n permits...it's going to be a government sponsored one for residency... i think!! Need to put $100,000 into a government bond for 12months, that sort of thing! Make sense? So i'll just be selling off a couple of my diamond rings, maybe my villa in Cyprus (that's true tho!!)
In my extensive experience i find that as long as ONE club has what you want in terms of music, atmosphere and clientelle, then all you will need!

Now tell me what a pie floater is!! I'm a woman of the world!! And I'm good a secret keeping!!

No, not loaded, just need the extra points....no other way around it I'm afraid......I get it back after a year with a 6% interest payment. I'll pay for the party when i get it back, how's that??

Are beach rave's allowed over there, or only the one's that are 'very secret and select'?? SHHHHHH!!!!

God! Listen to me...not even filled in the application and I'm having fantasies about beach raves.....i can feel the heat of the fire and the beat of the tunes now......this is very sad! Missing Ibiza i think, well just time for 1 last trip to the white isle this year.......Es Vive!
Now then.....who's going to PM me and tell me what these bloody floating pies are!!

to emo to be emo.

beach raves as such dont really happen, but we do have a venue during summer which is always rad and its 50 meters from the beach, and usually passouts to the beach and back are alright.

everything you need to know about a pie floater is here ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_floater

its a great city, i do say it sometimes become alittle slow and kind of boring for the youth, but thats were our creative and arts go so well, with the flim festival just start and the fringe around the corner were in for a great treat.

and plus were more friendlier then melbourne and sydney people, always willing to hlep others out in what questions you have.

but yeah, welcome to our forum!

We got the worlds best looking women , some of the best beaches , much cleaner air than your pommy over industrialised smog , and a smaller more educated audience for music .

And by a top name dj to who do you refer ? House music as in what ? have you heard of dirty house ?

Adelaide has the perfect population for sustainability and we'll keep it that way . The dj's here are happy to have respect among adelaidians and i am sure they probly kill most english dj's .

Top name dj = some marketable face with the latest shoes and sunnies

Go the underground

what is time ? does it exist ? like codes in cubase can it be streched and warped?

Thanks for the post, believe it or not, that is the sort of thing I wanted to hear.......we LOVE dirty house, something nice n twisted to grab your insides and RIP them out!! Fantastic!!
Big name DJ's.....yes, you could have a point there (David Morales emptied the club in an hour and ended up storming off an hour before his set ended!! Worse we've ever seen!). Our local guys do much better events with better atmosphere n MUCH better after parties!!
The bit about the 'best looking women' scares me a bit though!! Is it the L.A. of Oz over there? God! I best visit my surgeon for a nip n tuck before we come!! Lol.

we say the best looking girls naturally, like people who are pretty genuine and you dont need to be some model ...

was in perth and i was quite disapointed with the eye candy over there...

so i agree about the best looking women in adelaide, infact i would say best looking people overall.

I think HDP may have meant the awesome old adelaide label dirty house records rather than "dirty house" as a genre...
