Altitude [re]launch - Deep d&b @ skylab, 6/9/02

Altitude (re)Launch, Skylab
Friday Sept 6th

ALTITUDE, Adelaide’s drum & bass night devoted to bringing you the deeper, intelligent sounds of this genre has moved to a monthly format at its new home, Minke’s SKYLAB. To celebrate the re-launch, on Fri Sept 6 we’re hosting special guest, Terrain records’ DJ MOTIVE (Melbourne). Along with hosting night ‘SOULAAR’ for 4 years with veteran Melbourne DJ 1LC and playing the soundwave festival with Bailey (UK), Motive gained notoriety recently for taking out the Knowledge magazine (UK) mix tape comp last year.

Locals spinning the smoothest of beats include Fiction, Mark7, Filter, Tommy Jr, Ozone and Jayar, with live projections from Kristian Thomas. Entry is $10 on the door with giveaways of the latest Terrain Mix CDs throughout the night.
Expect to be surprised!

TO PAUL & MISS RIBBON!
if you havent seen skylab's set up for a while (like 9 months!) its pretty swish... big white bose stacks (sound has improved dramatically), transparent projection screen, levels, fat benches and even windows you can see through! (gotta love that crazy horse neon)
and i think altitude @ skylab is kinda fitting...
(normal altitude will cost $4 or $5 to get in after this launch)

ALTITUDE smooth, rolling and liquid-funk drum&bass…
1st friday of the month @ skylab [minkebar]

miss ribbon ITM Reporter	*squeal* getting excited!!!! aw yeh! I actually thought the sound up there was a bit dodge last time so it will be good to hear some quality sounds for the quality tunes...mmmm.....nothing like a bass line that's played through the right system........drooooooools I refuse to bow to peer pressure: I won't listen to my friends when they tell me not to take drugs

yeah, it werent that crash hot for matrix back last sept, but i know theyve spent ALOT of time and enery fine tuning it, and apparently its REALLY good on the ears - bose arent your usual big specialists, more hifi stuff (ive got bose satellites and sub at home and its smmmmooooth!) and being clearer means less distortion and less ear ringing afterward... so im told.

The Full Bench ITM Reporter	those have to be the sexiest speakers I have ever seen. I'd go there just to rub myself on it. I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me to see me looking back at you

DjAARON Nu Skool	Yep those speakers are damn sexy. They sound OK also. Come check out the JBL system at Black Cat at the ITM meetup. Great sound quality. Although they're not quite as sexy as the polar bears at Skylab. Friction - Fridays at Black Cat White Cat. Djs Aaron, Remedy, Lynton, Cheeky B, Amadeus.

Beekayz Punter	Since I've been going to Skylab I haven't had one complaint about the Bose speakers. Fantastic The Back To Mine Sessions @ Mojo West 6pm onwards every Sunday
