Actually ITM Adelaide used to be incredibly popular around 2002 to 2003. Everyone would talk about everything from Trance, Hard Dance, DNB, tech and everything in between. Adelaide Massive was around for strictly broken beats and then Raveadelaide came along and killed ITM at around the same time that the ITM mods said that we couldn't have 'general' style threads and they had to be all about music/events. RA eventually died in 2008/2009 and Adelaideclubber tried to take over but by then Facebook was well and truly established.

Ha what LC said! I'm sat in sunny (it's raining) Qld espousing how great SA scene is when it appears I am harking on the past. Shame :(

Hey all, just thought I'd update you all re: comments about a lack of someone in the State Coordinator role.
I've been in contact with Tim Hardaker (former ITM General Manager and current Partnerships Director for Sound Alliance/ITMs parent company).
The State Coordinator role has been discontinued nationwide due to a lack of perceived benefit and difficulty with managing people across the country. The general tasks of organising contributors and marketing is basically being handled by people at ITM HQ.
Tim also commented on the general trend of people being less engaged with forum discussion due to many of these conversations now happening in other places such as Facebook. So ITM's prime focus of late has been on new content video/audio/articles/photos etc
So basically if we want this forum to be thriving we really need to do it by making interesting threads and generating interesting discussion.
K............GO!!!!! :thumb:

I still check here every few weeks/months I just don't have anything to post anympore haha.. Like LC said this place used to be awesome.. till Raveadelaide came along. I still see a lot of the faces from here around on the rare occasions I'm anywhere other then The Old Exchange. Shit Fabric are doing a 10 year reunion show in October, should be most of the old ITM crew out then.

The James Holden thread from years ago is brilliant, 20 + pages I think it was.

What she said - there was a big crew of us always posting. Itm died in the arse when RA came along and never really recovered. I now live in Brisbane so mostly check out that forum but don't worry it's pretty much as dead as this one and the bogan ratio is way higher and therefore harder to deal with when posting.

lol good thread. its ok, i have decided to get back into the forums and stuff, hate being a granny at home so will be trying to cover more stuff too. i dont think adelaide is missing out on new types of music and shows, rocket bar and cuckoo are doing their fair share of promoting and hosting some really amazing artists/producers outside of dnb, house in particular... martyn's show at rocket bar was amazing, some cool new talent from adelaide on show (dj/producers) and cuckoo's carter bros and co always have really fresh tunes.

the scene is adelaide has just microcosmed a little, i think there are so many crossovers now that sometimes the good shows arent going to be in a club, but perhaps a laneway or warehouse party instead...
