One the funniest and most accurate things i read this year was Lee Burridges description of Adelaides scene...

First, let's talk about Adelaide. It seems to me that apart from a wicked drum and bass scene, Adelaide is stuck in 1991.

Don't know much about Lee, but much respect to him:

"I wish someone had told me that happy hardcore and super pumped-up cartoon techno were still all the rage in Adelaide."

Wow ....

Its funny I am on my first visit to ITM in over 18 or so months and am an ex-vic guy with a few years in the dance scene, form the perspective of a DJ/Producer and alos event promoter.

Its always good to see people who are passionate about the music and their idea of what constitutes GOOD MUSIC, but it is important always keep in mind if you want to be a popular DJ ITS ALL ABOUT THE CROWD PERIOD! Along the way if you get their attention .. sure you can slip a few tunes in to educate, but I have seen many DJs over the years who have no concept of being their for the crowd. This is why I have seen dudes with great selections and crap mixing rock the floor why DJ's with imaculate 3 deck skills clear a floor...

DJ Josh my man dont let people who say otherwise get to you, if you rock the crowd then you are good DJ period! There will allways be some jaded person who has their own style they perfer to push that dosent connect with what the crowd wants, and they get pissed when they walk in and see 1000 people rocking to tunes they think suck.

Dance music has been commercial for around 10years now and I dont care what anyone says, sure it has its "underground" element, but the bulk of it has been swallowed up and adapted to some marketable genre. For instance look at how mainstream electro house has become?.

Other the years I have progressed from Hip Hop to Techno to Psy_trance to Hard Trance/ Hard Style to Tech Trance back to Techno, to Electro to House and fusions of all of the above. I have played Hard techno to people dont even like dance music and got them groovin, because at the end of the day its all about reading floor and working the room.

Peace out to you and good luck with your gigs..

hey josh . don't let anyone get you down on here . As with any forum the old boys club like you to prove your worth !! tossers . Now you been playing for years girl keep it up , i don't really like your style as im more into autechre and shit but i remember seeing you play some killer sets at that recovery on nth tce , can't say oddy has ever come close .

Just one complaint from me , don't confuse techno with the cheesy shit oddy plays .

Hard house / NRG already has so many sub genre's forming it can only get bigger .. Problem with the genre's you mentioned above was that there was only one style . Hard house has branched out into so many types already and it's only in it's infancy ..

time will tell ..


the more sub styles in hardh(hose) the better !! keeps the fools away from the good record shops and more records me ........... whats this about you playing techno ? techno as in oliver lieb cheese or techno as in surgeon , autechre, underground resistance ?

adelaide is an easy target, mainly cos we have a small population. and lots of churches.

seriously folks.... who gives a fck what other people say? the fact is, if you know where to look, you'll find plenty to do here - regardless of genre.

adelaide bashing is really fkn predictable and boring. yawn.

After my recent experience of a short term stay in an interstate capital, i promised myself, anyone who verbally bashes Adelaide in front of me who is in reach, i may consider giving a :slap:

Adelaide is a great unique city. Maybe a little small and segregated, but exactly as said above , if you know where to look, you will find.
